Weed is one of the problems in the crop land as well as in uncultivated land, raising the farm management costs. Therefore, the weed control is essential for effective agricultural management. The cost for weed control in Korea occupies on the average 27.6% of the total labor cost required. Agricultural policies since 1960 were transferring from yield increase due to land productivities to increase of income due to labor productivities. Therefore, the weed control by hand is also changed to weed control by chemicals. The weed control by chemicals has also brought about some side-effects and needs better, improved weed control methods. The present weed control situation and related problems were studied to present new approaches for agricultural development in the future. There were 458 species of weeds in 82 families which were growing in the crop land. The weeds to control, however, are 12 in paddy field and 9 in upland. So far weeds in paddy field are well under control, while weeds in upland are poorly controlled due to change in chemical efficiency and chemical damage in the upland. The administration, research and extension work for the efficient use of agricultural chemicals have been done by various institutions, such as Office of Rural Development, Office of Forestry, and chemical companies. The courses for agricultural chemicals were offered in the agricultural colleges. However, the efficiency of chemicals could not be maximized due to the poor relationships among related institutes. The newly established Agricultural Chemical Research Center at the Office of Rural Development and the Korean Weed Science Association are expected to contribute toward improving weed control in Korea. The Korean agriculture in the future will eventually be mechanized and the varieties resistant to high nitrogen application and to high plant density will be required for high yields. The rice will be transplanted earlier and the whole growing period will be extended. The application of organic matter will be increased for increasing soil fertility, and the use of agricultural chemicals will be continued. Under such a condition, the studies on the weed occurrence and its integrated control measures will be needed. Also weed controls in the newly exclaimed land, crop varieties, horticultural varieties, forage crops, and forests are also needed to study. Basic and practical researches for the weed control to improve the labor productivity will be also needed. In order to meet the all requirements for efficient weed control, weed control systems including all the academics, research and extension workers, administratives, farmers and companies should be established. Also securing researchers and education of personnels are pre-required and research funds for the chemical studies should be provided efficiently and timely.

본 연구의 목적은 저온저장 사과의 시장동향, 저장실태 및 출하시기 조사를 통하여 사과재배 농가들이 최적의 사과출하 시기를 결정할 수 있도록 지원하기 위한 것이다. 사과 주산지인 경상북도 대구지역의 사과재배 농가 300개소를 대상으로 설문을 실시하여 재배품종, 재배면적, 저장 및 출하실태 등을 조사하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 생육시기에 따른 사과재배 비율을 조사한 결과, 조생종, 중생종 및 만생종 사과의 재배비율은 각각 78.3%, 63.7%, 96.0%였다. 또한, 조사대상 농가 중 48.7%가 저온저장시설을 보유하고 있었다. 박스(15kg) 당 평균 저장비용은 자가 저장 시에 978.3원이었으며, 위탁시에는 1,771.8원으로 나타났다. 11월부터 4월까지 6개월에 걸쳐 전체 저온저장 사과의 91.6%가 출하되고 있었다. 일반 저장창고에 저장된 사과를 포함한 연간 사과출하량은 744.4박스였으며, 저온 저장된 사과의 연간 출하량은 616박스였다. 저장사과는 '도매시장'으로 출하되는 비율이 가장 높았으며, '산지수집상'과 '대형마트'가 그 뒤를 이었다. 사과의 수송방법은 일반트럭을 이용하는 비율이 가장 높았으며, 저온탑차와 택배의 비율이 그 뒤를 이었다. 시기별 사과출하를 결정하는 요인을 분석한 결과, 오프시즌(5~월)에는 저장비용, 감모율, 관행출하 등의 영향을 받았다. 한편, 일반출하기(11~월)의 사과출하 결정요인들은 미래 기대가격, 저장비용 및 선도농가의 의사 변수가 통계적으로 유의적이었다. 일반출하의 비중이 높은 농가들의 사과출하 결정요인은 미래에 받을 가격에 대한 기대, 저장비용, 고소득에 대한 기대, 선도농가의 의사결정에 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 나타났다.
