A survey of pesticide and copper residues of the citrus orchard soil was conducted during October 1979-June 1980 in Jeju, Seogwipo county. The citrus orchards were classified into five groups according to different cultivated period; 5 year orchard, 10 year orchard, 15 year orchard, 20 year orchard, and 30 year orchard. Each of the above samples was divided again to three layers of soil depth; the surface layer$(0{\sim}10cm)$, the middle layer $(10{\sim}20cm)$, and the bottom layer $(20{\sim}40cm)$. In this experiments, Kelthane and Akar, as well as copper residues were detected in all soil samples. Residue levels of above chemicals were increased in soils of orchard with longer cultivation periods, and at the same time, decreased with soil depth. The residues of those ranged as follows; a) from trace to 1.359ppm in Kelthane, b) from trace to 0.925ppm in Akar, and c) from trace to 40.734ppm in copper. It is noted that the average residues of Kelthane was 0.251ppm, Akar, 0.120ppm, and that of copper was 2.168ppm, respectively.

The damage of citrus fruits caused by Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood has being increased in Jeju, Korea. The seasonal abundance of S. dorsalis and its injury symptoms in citrus orchards have been studied since the endemic outbreak in Jeju, but studies for the occurrence pattern of S. dorsalis in citrus orchards influenced by adjacent primary hosts have not been fully conducted yet. We selected kiwi- and mango-citrus adjacent orchards to study the migration pattern of S. dorsalis toward to citrus orchards. Yellow-colored sticky traps were used for monitoring the seasonal abundance of S. dorsalis and their migration pattern in two orchards. In citrus orchards, also, we placed sticky traps at 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 m apart from the border of kiwi orchard, and 0, 7 and 20 m apart from the border of mango orchard. The seasonal occurrence pattern of S. dorsalis caught on sticky traps were similar between two adjacent orchards. However, the abundances in kiwi or mango orchard was much higher than those of citrus. Also, it was found that densities, distribution and damage of S. dorsalis in citrus orchards depend highly on the distance from the border of kiwi and mango orchards. This result suggested that the primary hosts such as kiwi and mango plants influence the occurrence of S. dorsalis in adjacent citrus orchards. And this information may provide a basic direction for establishing the management strategy of S. dorsalis in citrus orchards.

The aluminum composition of the citrus orchard soils (volcanic ash soil) in Cheju Island was studied. The content of extractable Al was high, especially for the sub-soil. However the exchangeable Al was relatively low : it was only one-tenth of the extractable Al content. The exchangeable Al of the citrus orchard soils decreased with increasing number of years of cultivation. This has resulted from an increase in pH. The content of the extractable Al of the citrus orchard soils also decreased with the increase in number of years of cultivation. This is related to the fact that the application of phosphate fertilizers led to a reduction in Al activity. Therefore, the extractable Al showed a highly significant correlation with the available phosphorus in the top soil. However it was not significantly affected by phosphates in the sub-soil where the available phosphorus was extremely low. The extractable Al content strongly correlated with the organic matter and pH(NaF) in the sub-soil, but the correlation was less significant in the top soil. This suggests that large amounts of the extractable Al are released from the hydrous oxides of Al and that the organically complexed form in the sub-soil and non-extractable due to the reactions with phosphates applied to the top soil.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of legume cover crop culture on earthworm fauna in organic farmland. We compared sod culture with two kinds of legume crops of hairy vetch and crimson clover on organic citrus orchard to natural sod culture and conventional orchards in Jeju Island. We analyzed the soil characteristics and investigated the density of earthworms from the orchards. Organic matter content did not show much difference in soil analysis between organic and conventional orchard. But the biomass of earthworms in organic orchards is 3.8 times to 7.0 times higher than that in conventional cultivated orchards, and individuals of earthworms on organic orchards were 2.3~18 times higher than conventional orchards. The biomass of earthworms on hairy vetch and crimson clover cultivation was 44.8 g, 47.2 g in 2016, and 78.7 g, 31.8 g in 2017, respectively, which were higher than 32.8 g and 9.5 g of those on natural sod cultivation. Through this study, we found that hairy vetch and crimson clover cultivation improve the earthworm occurrence density in the soil on organic citrus orchard.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different surface soil management practices on soil microflora in volcanic ash soils of citrus orchard. Soil samples were collected from citrus orchards of clean cultivation, grass sod, and grass mulch system in May and September 1997. Soil chemical properties, populations of various microorganisms, enzyme activities, microbial biomass C were analyzed. Average soil pH were 4.7, and average nitrogen and organic matter contents were 6 and $140.2g\;kg^{-1}$, respectively. Aerobic bacteria were distributed at $26,2-47.3{\times}10^6cfu\;g^{-1}$ level. Among the aerobic bacteria Pseudomonas spp., Rhizobium spp., and thermophilic Bacillus spp. were dominant in most of the investigated orchard soils. Density of actinomycetes were low at $1.8-84.6{\times}10^5cfu\;g^{-1}$ level. Fungi were distributed at $26.4-182.1{\times}10^5cfu\;g^{-1}$ level and the density was higher in grass mulch and sward sites. In september, phosphomonoesterase activity was high at $239.6{\mu}g\;PNP\;g\;soil^{-1}\;h^{-1}$ in clean cultivated citrus orchards. Soil cellulase activity were higher at $602.6{\mu}g\;GE\;g\;soil^{-1}$\;24\;h^{-1}$ in grass sward cultivation than any other soil management practices. Soil microbial biomass C was higher in grass mulch cultivated orchards.

The Cheju citrus orchards have been chemically fertilized with both phosphates high in Ca and Mg contents and potassium. The amount of chemical fertilizers consumed per unit area of cultivated land and the ratios of $P_2O_5$ and $K_2O$ to N in chemical fertilizers applied were much higher in the Cheju Island than those of the Korean mainland. These trends were particularly prominant in Southern Cheju where 70% of the Cheju citrus orchards are located. As the result of heavy applications of phosphate fertilizers, the available phosphorus of citrus orchard soils increased with increasing number of years under cultivation. The available phosphorus of sub-soil increased slightly with the number of years under cultivation compared to that of surface soil. Base saturation and pH increased with the number of years under cultivation, inasmuch as exchangeable bases such as Ca, Mg and K increased predominantly, but the cation exchange capacity did not vary in the citrus orchard soils.

Citrus fruits harvested in 1979 were collected from markets scattered in Jeju and Seogwipo area on Jeju island and also from citrus orchards with five, ten, fifteen, twenty, and thirty years of cultivation history. Organophorous insecticides and organochloro acaricides in the pulp of fruits were analysed by gas liquid chromatograph. It was found that EPN and Kelthane were most significant residues found in the citrus fruits in terms of both level and frequency of occurrence. Among citrus fruits collected from various markets, EPN was detected in 28% of the fruits samples in the range of 0.009 to 0.025 ppm, while Kelthane, at lower level, was found in all citrus fruits in the range of trace to 0.007 ppm. Residue levels of citrus fruits from orchards of various cultivated periods, in general, confirmed those of the fruits collected from commercial markets. However, residues of Kelthane in the citrus fruits tended to increase with orchards having longer cultivation history.

VA-mycorrhizal spores were collected from the 14 citurs orchards of different soil textures and locations in Cheju island. Five species and two kinds of spores were identified as based on the morphological characteristics of the spores; Acaulospora bireticulata, Glomus deserticola, G. geosporum, G. vesiculiferum, and Sclerocystis pachycaulis. Additionally, two kind spores of Acaulospora were also observed but difficult to be identified in this moment. Glomus deserticola and unidentified spores of Acaulospora (brown spores sized 90 to $125\;{\mu}m$ in diameter) were most frequently observed in the all soil specimens in Cheju, while the other kinds of spores were rarely observed in the soil of Cheju.
