In recent years, with the increase in the consumption of natural resources and energy, global environmental problems have appeared. This is a very serious environmental load on worldwide food production. For this reason, innovative techniques for production of low entropy by using effectively the energy for the ecosystemic agriculture have been expected. In this study, granular ceramics of 2 to 3mm in diameter having electrical charges at the surface were produced, using the natural raw materials of silicate minerals haing excellent moldabilities and sintering properties . Production of water having functions was attempted by effective use of the electrochemical energy of the ceramics with an efficient water treatment apparatus in which the ceramics were fluidized in water, differently from conventional systems. In the experimental results, the EC of water treated with the ceramics was not changed, but the ORP and also the pH and the DO were changed. The speed of oxidation -re uction reaction was high, and the ceramics -treated water enhanced the vigor of seeds. It can be expected that this treatment system, by which the ORP of water can be moderately controlled, is advantageous in controlling the growth of plants.

This study aims to explore a biological interpretation of farming practices mentioned in 'Sallimgyeongje(山林經濟)', an agricultural literature published in late 18C, in order to substantiate its scientific practicality and suggest the sustainable direction of modern agriculture. First, the research revealed that weeds and pests were effectively controlled by interspecies interactions such as allelopathy, mutualism, and interplanting. Second, qualified seeds were selected without dependence on chemical treatments by using specific gravity and cold water immersion. Third, the literature proposed plowing methods based on the properties of the soil, which implicated an establishment of healthy landscape mosaic by imitating the succession and introducing the moderate disturbance. Fourth, the genotypes of 37 native rice varieties were speculated based on six phenotype standards, and some of them are expected to have high nutritional value and abiotic stress resistance.
