Investigations were conducted to prevent entrance of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) with very fine mesh nets. B. tabaci vectors tomato yellow leaf curl virus in tomatoes. B. tabaci could be completely prevented to penetrate into an 83 mesh net, though few of them passed the 60 mesh net. An independent 60 mesh net cage was built within one of the three interconnected common plastic greenhouse ($21.0{\times}18.3m$) in order to find its usefulness as a crop protection tool from insect pests. TYLCV infected tomato plants were not detected, though a few eggs of B. tabaci and mines of Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess) were detected locally at the entrance of the sliding door. There were practically no significant differences between treatments of nets and the conventional plant height, leaf length and width, number of floret clusters, sugar brix, and product yield. In viewpoints of commercialization, it could be considered highly prospectful to apply to the nets to glasshouses or other greenhouses in which the growing period of crops is long, if the nets were used in the openings of sides, ceilings, and entrances of the greenhouse. However, it might be necessary to take preventive measures for occurrences of insect pests living in soil, temporarily or permanently, as well as high humidity diseases.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of deep sea water on fruit quality and yield of tomato. In the deep sea water treatments, fruit growth and weight were decreased as the concentration of deep sea water increased. Especially, the fresh weight of second truss was decreased significantly than first truss. Soluble solid content was increased significantly in higher concentration treatment especially at 30mM and 40mM treatment. That was increased more in the first than in the second truss fruits. Most of hexose in fruits were glucose and fructose. The reason of increased glucose and fructose contents was the decline of growth because of salinity stress by deep sea water treatment. however deep sea water treatment increased the lycopene content, especially in 20mM treatment. It is assumed that deep sea water treatment cause induction and promotion of ethylene. The higher concentration of deep sea water to the solution, the eater fruit quality improvement was noticed. However, proportional yield reduction accompanied concentration, 20mM deep sea water improved fruit quality without a significant yield reduction. The Re content was the highest among ginsenosides in all treatments. The contents total of ginsenosides in all treatments, except EC 8 treatment, was higher than those in the controlled treatment. The PT/PD value was 1.31 of the lowest in the EC 8 treatment and was 2.52 of the highest in the EC6 treatment. Rf contents in high increase was detected at all treated ginseng roots.

Bacillus vallismortis EXTN-1, a biocontrol agent in cucumber, tomato and potato was tested in rice pathosystem against rice fungal pathogens viz. Magnaporthe grisea, Rhizoctonia solani and Cochliobolus miyabeanus. Apart from increasing the yield in the bacterized plants (11.6-12.6% over control), the study showed that EXTN1 is effective in bringing about disease suppression against all the tested fungal pathogens. EXTN-l treatment resulted in 52.11% reduction in rice blast, 83.02% reduction in sheath blight and 11.54% decrease in brown spot symptoms. As the strain is proven as an inducer for systemic resistance based on PR gene expression in Arabidopsis and tobacco models, it is supposed that a similar mechanism works in rice, bringing about disease suppression. The strain could be used as a potent biocontrol and growth-promoting agent in rice cropping system.

배양액농도는 작물의 양분과 수분흡수에 영향을 주고 생육, 수량 및 품질에 미치는 영향이 큰 근권제어요인이다. 순수수경재배에서는 작물종류별 배양액농도에 대한 연구가 많이 되어 있으나 배지경에서 배지종류별 작물에 따른 적정배양액 농도에 대한 연구는 드물다. 특히 적정배양액 농도는 작물종류, 품종, 생육단계에 따라 다르고, 생산물의 품질에도 지대한 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀지고 있다. 따라서 토마토에서 배지종류별(펄라이트, 버미큘라이트, 피트모스) 육모기와 정식후 배양액농도에 따른 토마토 수량 및 품질에 미치는 영향을 밝히고져 실험을 수행하였다.

온실은 동절기 난방을 주목적으로 설비되어 년중 작물재배 시는 하절기 온실내부 온도가 필요이상으로 상승하여 실내온도가 35-4$0^{\circ}C$ 정도로 올라가는데 이러한 상태에서의 온도는 많은 작물의 생육적온을 벗어난 온도로서 고온장해를 나타낸다. 이 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 몇 가지 냉방방법이 알려져 있는데 에어컨 등과 같은 냉방장치를 이용한 기계적 냉각방식과 수분증발을 통한 증발식 냉각방식으로 대별되며 이중 기계적인 냉방방식은 설비나 유지관리 면에서 비용이 많이 들어 비경제적이고, 증발냉각 방식중에서도 Fan and Pad 법이 가장 효과가 좋은 것으로 알려져 있으나 이역시 설치 및 유지비가 많이 들고, vep의 탈부착이 어려워 고정시켜놓을 경우 동계 광투과에 방해가 되는 등의 문제가 많다.

The environmental change is affecting the farm products like tomato, and pepper, etc. This affects to lead smart farming yield. What is more, this inconstant conditions cause the farms to be infected by variety diseases. Therefore ICT technology is needed to detect and prevent the crops from being effected by diseases. This article suggests the procedure to help producer for identifying farms disease based on the detected image. This detects the kind of diseases with comparing the trained image data before and after disease emergence. First step monitors an image of farms and resize it. Its features are extracted on parameters such as color, and morphology, etc. The next steps are used for classification to classify the image as infected or non-infected. on the bassis of detection algorithm.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of nitrate concentration in culture solution on the growth and the uptake of inorganic elements in Tomato plant in the greenhouse. Tomato plants(cv. TVR-2) were grown with nitrate concentrations 8, 16, 24, 32cmol/l, based on Japan ENSI standard solution. Dry weights of lamina and petiole increased with the nitrate concentration. However, the dry weight of fruit was the highest in the treatment of nitrate concentration of 16cmol/l. The proportion of dry weights of vegitative organ to reproductive organ was the lowest in the treatments of nitrate concentrations of 16cmol/l and it increased with the nitrate concentration. The fruit yield was the highest at the treatment of nitrate concentration of 16cmol/l. With the increase of nitrate level the concentrations of N, $NO_3-N$, Ca and Na increased in lamina and petioles. The concentrations of K, P, S and Cl tended to decline in the nitrate concentration of 16 and 32cmol/l. These results indicate that optimum nitrate concentrations in a tomato grown by hydroponics change with growth stage, and the optimum concentrations for vegitative and reproductive stage were 8 and 16cmol/l, respectively. It also was proved that the nitrate concentrations in the culture solution affected antagonistically the uptake of inorganic anion in tomato : In low nitrate level $Cl^-$ uptake was affected much, while $SO_4{^{2-}}$ and $H_2PO_4{^-}$ uptake were affected in high nitrate level.

Endo-polygalacturonase was purified from tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum L. The purification procedures included gel filtration on Sephadex G-150 and DEAE-cellulose ion exchange chromatography. Yield of the enzyme purification was 12.74 %. Purified enzyme was confirmed as a active single band by the SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. When the purified enzyme was applied to SDS-PAGE, the molecular weight was estimated about 50,000. The optimum pH for the enzyme activity was 5.0 and the range of its stability to the pH was 4.0 to 5.0. The optimum temperature was $50^{\circ}C$, while the enzyme was abruptly inactivated above $50^{\circ}C$. From the result of the study on the effects of metals ion, it was found that $Ag^+$, $Zn^{++}$ and $Mg^{++}$ increased on the enzyme activity. In contrast, $Ba^{++}$, $Hg^{++}$, $Pb^{++}$, $Ca^{++}$, $Mn{++}$, $Cu^{++}$, $Fe^{+++}$, $Na^+$ and $K^+$ decreased it. the reaction catalyzed by this enzyme followed typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics with the Km value of $1.43{\times}10^{-1}\;mol/l$.

These studies were conducted to verify the effect of the supplementary lighting by reflective film mulching and its establishment in the north side of greenhouse on the utility of light at tomato by means of investigating changes of leaf temperatures, stomatal features, transpiration rates and photosynthetic rates. Stomatal density of leaves were high in the reflective film mulching but sizes of stomata were not different. As the osmotic potential in rooting zone was low, the stomatal resistance was high, transpiration rate was low, and leaf temperature was increased by 40.62$^{\circ}C$. And also in the block of reflective film mulching photosynthetic rates were decreased hut chlorophyll contents were not different. Especially, there is an effect of controlling greenhouse whiteflies by treatment of reflective film mulching. It is thought that the reason of high quality or increasing yield at several crops by supplementary lighting, such as reflective film mulching, would be caused by influences of absorption and distribution of nutrients through high transpiration rate and photosynthesis which resulted from increase of stomata.
