In this study, the effect of carbonization temperature and mixing ratio of ceramics manufactured from sawdust, chaff and charcoal on sound absorption performance and density profile was investigated. The density profile of ceramics prepared by the addition rates of sawdust, chaff and charcoal showed the highest value at 91.00% when the ratio of sawdust, chaff and charcoal was 50:25:15. However, the difference in density profile according to the addition rate was insignificant. The density profile of ceramics manufactured according to the carbonization temperature showed the highest value of 88.06% when manufactured at 800℃. However, it does not show any particular trend, so it is understood that the effect of the carbonization temperature on the density gradient is small. On the other hand, the sound absorption coefficients of ceramics prepared by the addition rates of sawdust, chaff and charcoal is between 0.3 and 0.4 at almost all frequencies when the addition rates of sawdust, chaff and charcoal are 50:30:10 and 50:35:5, respectively. Therefore, as the chaff particles increased, the sound absorption performance was improved. In addition, the sound absorption coefficients of the ceramics manufactured at each carbonization temperature showed the highest value in the ceramics manufactured at 1,200℃.

The concerns of wood vinegar increase with its various applications to food additive, functional drink, and in the sustainable farming. Chaff vinegar, a by-product of chaff charcoal which is produced by distilling smoke and having similar ingredients and efficacy with wood vinegar, contains harmful tar in the acceptable range and can be mass-produced. A chaff vinegar distiller, commercially mass-productive, was developed using a water cooling system. Initially distilled vinegar by the developed system contained little harmful tar in the acceptable range for the agricultural use and its acidity was about pH 3.2. Treatment of the chaff vinegar in the enhancing emergence test showed greater number of emerged seedlings, and vise-versa. Treatment of diluted in 100-holds showed 44.0% of emerged and 8.6% of not-emerged seedlings.

A board was manufactured for each resin and sawdust addition using the chaff made by carbonizing the chaff charcoal, an agricultural by-product that emerge during the rice pounding process, and sawdust. And effects of the additions of resin and sawdust on coefficients of dynamic and static modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture, as well as the relationship between the dynamic modulus of elasticity, statis modulus of elasticity, and modulus of rupture were investigated. As phenol resin addition of chaff charcoal-sawdust compound board increases to 10~25%, the bending performance has increased. This suggests that resin addition largely effects the bending performance. Although the bending performance was gradually increased with the increase in sawdust addition, since the coefficients of determination (R²) between the sawdust addition with the coefficients of dynamic, static modulus of elasticity, and modulus of rupture were 0.4012, 0.0809, and 0.1971, respectively. Thus, it showed a relatively lower correlation, and the effect of sawdust on bending performance was small. Since a high correlation was confirmed between dynamic and static modulus of elasticity, and modulus of rupture of chaff charcoal-sawdust compound board, it was confirmed that prediction of static modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture can be made in a nondestructive way from the dynamic modulus of elasticity.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of natural materials on quality and yield of radish. The GB$_{10}$, Chitofarm, chaff charcoal, and chaff charcoal sap were used as natural materials. The total plant weight, root weight, root length, and root width of radish in treatment with natural materials showed significant differnce compared with control. The yield of radish in 1% of GB$_{10}$ treatment was increased 75% compared with control. The chemical components were increased in total plant of radish treated with natural materials compared with control. This appears that natural materials increase the quality of radish.

This study was carried out in order to develop an economical and convenient way to improve storability of sweet persimmon 'Fuyu'. Natural porous materials (bamboo active carbon, chaff charcoal, and Ge-lite) pouching bags were enveloped in the conventional LDPE (low density polyethylene) package during room temperature and low temperature storage. The changes of soluble solids content, flesh firmness, flavor, decay, and softening of sweet persimmon were investigated in the 1- or 2-week intervals. The LDPE packaging with bamboo active carbon treatment was confirmed to maintain longer storability and higher quality than the LDPE packaging only. This method is expected to be applied to both of conventional and organic farming as an economical and convenient way to improve storability on long term storage and during distribution.

This study was conduction to investigate the effects of natural materials such as $GB_{10}$ chitofarm, chaff charcoal, and chaff charcoal sap, on quality and yield of chinese cabbage, Natural materials were treated on seeds soil, and leaves. The total plant weight, head weight, head length, head width, leaf length, leaf width, and sugar content of chinese cabbage in treatment with natural materials showed significant difference compared with control. The yield of chinese cabbage in $GB_{10}$ soil treatment and 1% $GB_{10}$ leaf treatment was increased 53% compared with control. The total nitrogen $P_2O_5$, $K_2O$, CaO, MgO, $Na_2O$, and Mn in total plant were analyzed. The chemical components were increased in total plant of chinese cabbage treated with natural materials compared with control natural materials increased the quality of chinese cabbage.

In order to provide fundamental data for the achievement of safe environmental condition, investigation of the actual state of the nutriculture practices in Korea was carried out. The result obtained are summarized as follows. 1. Cultivation area of nutriculture was 6 ha and culture types included deep flow technique(43%), nutrient film technique(45%), gravel culture(6%), chaff charcoal culture(3%) and rockwool culture(3%). 2. Greenhouses were mostly made of pentite pipe frames and covered by polyethylene film, and culture beds were handy combination of cement blocks, concrete and styrofoam, which were not standard products. 3. Development of nutriculture system appropriate to our actual circumstances and improvement of establishments are required. 4. Since there was not farmhouse that performs the environmental measurement and environmental conditions of cultivation were very limited. sensor applied environmental control technology of nutriculture should be developed.
