The Experiments were conducted by moderate season culture of each of early, medium and late maturing varieties which were considered to be of strong salt tolerance in low and high salty reclaimed areas (0.2% at the May). This study was carried out to investigate the proper nitrogen fertilizer level and seeding rates at reclaimed saline land in Korea. The proper seeding rates were $40kg\;ha^{-1}$ in 0.2% saline land. The dry matter production of barnyard millet was possibly estimated by exponential functions of $Y=0.0098X^2+0.7030X+2.6267$. Effects of nitrogen rate on agronomic characteristics, forage yield, and chemical composition of barnyard millet to reclaimed tidal land are summarized as follows: The proper nitrogen fertilizer level was $200kg\;ha^{-1}$ in 0.2% saline land. N was absorbed actively before the emergence of the barnyard millet but showed relative decrease thereafter. The early growth of the barnyard millet was inhibited, resulting in the favorable late growth, increased panicle weight and ratio of matured grain. These results suggest that barnyard millet is the most forage crops for cultivation on reclaimed tideland in view of the good emergence and forage production.

Changes in runoff and soil erosion at slightly hilly erosive plots with pear trees over a three-year period were monitored under two distinct types of weed treatment by herbides : (1) pre-emergence herbicide with glyphosate; (2) post-emergence herbicide with paraquat. The numbers of rainfall events from June to Nov for three years of experimental periods were approximately 50 times in the plots having 5.5%to 10.2%slope at an altitude of 125 m. The steady-state infiltration rate was generally increased in the bare plot from which all weeds were removed while it was decreased in the herbicide treated plots and control. The runoffs from the control plot during the experimental periods were always less than those from plots of the herbicide-treated and the bare. The runoff under the same rainfall intensity was decreased in the order of bare, glyphosate, paraquat, and control. This results indicated that the removal time of weed by the different types of herbicides might influenced the runoff rate. For the first two years of the experimental periods, loss of fine fraction was much greater than that of coarse fraction while soil loss was correlated neither with total rainfall nor amount of runoff. The soil erosion rate under the same rainfall intensity was increased in the order of control, glyphosate, paraquat, and bare plot. However, there were not much differences in the soil loss for all plots under a relatively lower rainfall intensity less than 30 mm $day^{-1}$, resulting in rainfall intensity was important factor on soil erosion.

Difference in sensitivity of Eleocharis kuroguwai tubers to bensulfuron- methyl{methyl 2-[[[[[(4, 6-dimethoxy-2-pyrimidinyl) amino] carbonyl] amino] sulfonyl] methyl] benzoate} at different burial depths were determined with respect to tuber emergence, sprouting of lateral buds, carbohydrate consumption of the tuber, and growth and new tuber production of the regrown plants. Days required to regrowth from the growth cessation due to bensulfuron-methyl were shorter in shallow-buried tubers than in deep-buried tubers. With application of bensulfuron-methyl shallow-buried tubers consumed less carbohydrate in the tuber than deep-buried tubers as compared with in deep-buried tubers during the period of growth cessation and greater regrowth also occurred in the former. Fast and great regrowth in shallow-buried tubers resulted in great production of dry matter and new tubers. However, the differences obtained were not due to bensulfuron-methyl, but due mainly to ecological emergence and growth characteristics of tubers buried at different depths.

This study was established to investigate the effects of seeding depth and seeding time on the emergence, growth, and N production of Vicia tetrasperma and V. hirsuta in 2007 and 2008. All seeds of both species were gathered from Dangjin, Chungnam in late June of 2005 and stored for two year at room temperature. Both V. species began to germinate at the end of June, passed the winter with the seedling stage, rapidly increased their height in April and May, were in full bloom in May, and then withered after entering mid-June. V. hirsuta had higher emergence rate and growth compared to those of V. tetrasperma. The optimum seeding time and seeding depth for a cover cropping was from late August to early September and from 1 to 5 cm, respectively. V. tetrasperma and V. hirsuta had a satisfactory growth and provided 43.8 and $55.4kg\;ha^{-1}$of N, respectively.

The allelopathic potentials of several Korean weeds were inverstigated in the greenhouse and laboratory. Aqueouse extracts and plant litters of several weeds were tested at different dilutions for allelopathic effect on germination and Barley growth of crop species. Among the several species of weeds. Portulaca oleracea and Chenopodium album had the highest allelopathic effect to the four species to 30%, while the extract of Portulaca oleracea increased those to 4.7% on an average when compare with control plant. In greenhouse experiment Portulaca oleracea highly reduced the emergence rate indices of barley, soybean. radish and corn to 30, 49, 36 and 68% that of control plant, respectively. Plant height and dry weight of indicate plants were reduced by the residues of Portulaca oleracea and Chenopodium album.

A series of experiments were conducted to determine the effect of pH, salinity, seeding depth, and moisture stress on the germination and growth of Echinochloa colons (L.) Link. Germination significantly decreased at pH 10, but shoot lengths were not affected by the pH tested. Germination was not affected by salt concentrations of up to 0.1%, but was significantly reduced at 0.5%. A 1.0% salt concentration did not significantly reduce shoot length. Increase in seeding depth significantly reduced emergence. Irrespective of seeding depth, the coleoptilar node was always just below the soil surface. Delayed and decreased germination was obtained at -4.6 bars of simulated water potential, while no germination occurred at -9.8 bars. Soil moisture stress significantly reduced plant height, delayed panicle initiation, and reduced seed production.

The experiment was carried out to evaluate the herbicidal properties of dithiopyr(3, 5-pyridine dicarbothioic acid-2-(difluoromethyl)-4-(2-methylpropyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)-S,S-dimethyl ester). Weeding effect of dithiopyr was determined under various factors such as dosage, soil type, leaching amount, temperature, water depth, overflow time, and application time and method. Dithiopyr showed very high phytotoxic activity on most major annuals weeds, expecially Echinochloa crus-galli and Monochoria vaginalis. Excellent control of Echinochloa crus-galli was obtained at 0.04kg a.i./ha with preemergence application and 0.12kg a.i./ha with early post-emergence application (12 DAT ; Echinochloa crus-galli of 1.5 leaf stage). Weeding effect of dithiopyr decreased when applied at the soil surface 2days before transplanting. Soil type, leaching amount, temperature, water depth, overflow time did not affect the weeding effect.

The influence of temperature, soil depth, burial duration, and soil moisture on the germination and viability of Galium spurium L. was studied in field and laboratory. Germination and maturing date were Oct. 20 and May 30, respectively. 1000 seed weight was 1.478g and seed color was dark brown. Optimum storage temperature to break dormancy was that $5^{\circ}C$, and germination rate of $10^{\circ}C$ was 81%, seed was not germinated at $20^{\circ}C$ or greater than $20^{\circ}C$. Optimum burial depth was 2cm and emergence rate was 40%. As bural duration in upland was longer, germination rate was increased, but buried seed of paddy land was died in a month. Optimum soil moisture content for germination was 25.3% in sand loam soil however seeds were not germinated above 43.6% or below 2.1%.

Three varieties of Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv. and five collections different in gross morphology from the E. crus-galli species were obtained in a lowland rice field located in Jukjeol-Ri, Soyang-Myeon, Wanju-Kun, Jeonbug to compare the ecological and physiological characteristics. There were great variations in seed dormancy, relative growth rates, days required to panicle emergence and panicle morphology among the collections. On the basis of the cluster analysis using the different characteristics, the collections were divided into three groups; E. crus-galli var. frumentaceae and its two ecotypcs, E. crus-galli var. echinata and its two ecotypes, and E crus-galli var. crus-galli and its one ecotype. There were differential responses in percent germination and post-germination growth of the collections to butachlor (2-chloro-2', 6'-diethyl-N-butoxymethyl acetanilide).
