Buildability of fresh concrete, a key element of Concrete 3D printing, is the ability to build filaments at a desirable height without excessive deformation or collapse. Buildability is closely related to yield stress, and the higher the yield stress, the better. Also, the shear stress of fresh concrete increases as it hardens over the time after extruded, and consequently the buildability increases. Therefore, in concrete 3D printing, proper time gaps between printed layers (Printing Time Gap, PTG) are required to ensure the buildability of fresh concrete. As the PTG increases, the buildability increases; however, an excessive PTG reduces the bond performance between the printed layers, and the extrudability can be lowered as the printing time increases. In this research, therefore, 3D printing experiments were conducted with the variable of PTG to examine the buildability of 100 MPa-high strength concrete. In addition, a pseudo-layer loading method was applied to simulate the buildability test for 3D concrete printing and its applicability was examined.

Plant growth should be affected by mulching method. The study was done to examine the effect of different mulching methods on growth and yield of Atractylodes japonica Koidz. The experiment was done by six different mulching methods; no mulching, rice straw, transparent polyethylene (PE), black PE, two combined treatments of rice hull and transparent PE or black PE. Green shoot and related characters, growth and yield of early and late stages were measured on May 8, June 8 and October 26, respectively. Green shoot fresh weight was the highest in transparent PE mulching, while number of leaves, shoot and stem lengths were the greatest in rice straw mulching of the methods. In its early stage, rice straw mulching had the fewest number of leaves, roots, stems, the smallest width of leaves, and the least fresh weights of shoots and rhizomes. Combined mulching of black PE and rice hull showed the highest values in root-related characters; number of roots, fresh weights of rhizomes and roots. In its late stage, the treatment effects shown in the early stage disappeared owing to high temperature of mid-summer so that there was no significant difference between the mulching treatments. Yield per unit area and marketable yield were the highest in rice straw mulching, and combined mulching of black PE and rice hull.

Since the importance of casing in fruit body formation of Agaricus bisporus has been emphasized, physico-chemical characteristics of casing materials were discussed by many workers and a mixture of peat and mineral soil as proper casing material has been adopted in many of mushroom growing countries. Because of limited resources of peat in Korea, it is necessary to find practical performance and substitutional materials for casing. The effect of casing on mycelial growth and mushroom yield of A. bisporus varied with materials, its combination and practices etc. The experiments to be discussed in this paper are concerned with pH and Ca of casing material which influence A bisporus, and changes of physico-chemical characteristics with mixing ratio of casing materials and its effect on A. bisporus. The optimum range of moisture content of each material, management of watering and application of physico-chemical characteristics casing materials was also investigated and re-use of weathered spent compost for casing material was described. 1. The effect of calcium on mycelial growth of A. bisporus at various pH in Halbschalentest showed different results with calcium sources. Best results were obtained around neutrality and fresh weight of fruit bodies grown in the range of pH 7 to 8 was highest among the tested levels. 2. Available moisture, pore space, organic matter, cation exchangeable capacity and exchangeable cation was increased by an increase of mixing ratio of peat in casing materials, while an adverse effect was obtained by addition of sand. 3. Mycelial growth on clay loam was more rapid at a lower bulk density of 0.75g/cc and at 20% moisture content on a dry weight basis at the same bulk density. 4. Mixing ratio of casing materials, 60 to 80 per cent by volume of peat mixed with 20 to 40 per cent of clay loam produced the highest yield of fresh fruit bodies and sand the lowest. However, per cent of open cap was highest in peat and lowest in sand. 5. Days required for fruit body initiation was shortened in mixtures of peat and clay loam by one to three days compared with other materials and the formation of flushes was clear. 6. The effect of some physico-chemical characteristics of casing materials on the fresh weight of fruit bodies were estimated by a multiple regression equation; Y=-923.86+$8.18X_1+8.04X_2+7.90X_3+0.12X_4+2.03X_5-0.82X_6-0.54X_7$ where $X_1,X_2,X_3,X_4,X_5,X_6,X_7$ are sand, silt, clay, available moistuer, porosity, organic matter and exchangeable cation respectively. The productivity of certain casing material could be predicted from this equation. 7. Fresh weight of fruit bodies was positively correlated with porosity exchangeable cation, organic matter, available moisture, silt and clay of materials; while sand was negatively correlated. On the contrary, sand was the unique factor reducing per cent of open cap. 8. Distribution of three phases of high productive casing material was concentrated in the range of 10 to 30 per cent solids, 15 to 30 per cent liquids, and 50 to 60 per cent in air volume. 9. Fresh weight of fruit bodies from peat was not affected with heavy watering but in clay loam and sandy loam severe crop losses occurred. Fresh weight of individual fruit was increased and open caps were decreased with heavy watering but light watering resulted in adverse effects: its effect was especially great in peat. 10. Optimum range of moisture content by weight on a dry basis was different with each casing material. To maintain optimum moisture content concerned with yield of fruit bodies and open cap, sandy loam and peat mixtures required daily watering of 0.6, 0.6 to 1. 2 and 1.2 to 2.4 liters per $3.3m^2$ of bed area, respectively. 11. Maximum yield of fruit body was recorded in the range of pF 2. 0 to 2. 5 of casing materials if organic matter content was below 4.2 per cent and in pF 1. 3 to 1.8 if above 7.1%. 12. pF curve of a certain casing material could be draws from moisture content at various pF values by multiple regression equations provided texture, organic matter and calcium of the casing material are given. Optimum moisture range of the casing materials also could be estimated by the equation. 13. It was possible to improve the phyico-chemical characteristics of clay loam and sandy loam by addition of weathered spent compost although the effect was less than in the case of peat. Fresh weight of fruit bodies wsa increased by addition of weathered spent compost but its effect was not as remarkable as peat. Accordingly, further studies will be required.

To determine optimal plant density of forage rape in southern areas of Korea, Velox, the highest yielding variety among seventeen introduced varieties of forage rape, was grown under five different plant densities. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. Yield components such as stem diameter, number of main stem,leaves, number of branches and number of branch leaves and fresh yield were highest at the plots with 50cm row spacing and 30cm plant spacing. 2. Dry matter yield, content of crude protein, IVDMD and digestible dry matter yield were highest at the plots of broadcasting. 3. Since plants under high density were high in plant length and small in stem diameter, contents of crude fiber such as NDF, ADF, cellulose and lignin were lowest at the plots of broadcasting.

An experiment was carried out to know the effects of paclobutrazol application time on the lodging related traits and yield of a rice variety. Seomjinbyeo, at two nitrogen leveles. Paclobutrazol (3kg 10a of 0.6% G) was applied 43, 33, 23, and 13 days before heading (DBH) and lodging related traits were observed 10, 20, 30, and 40 days after heading (DAH). Earlier applications of paclobutrazol reduced the length of lower internodes and later applications reduced the upper internodes. Culm length tended to decrease as time of paclobutrazol application delayed. Although lodging was not occurred in all plots. lodging index of paclobutrazol treated plots was lower than that of control and increased with maturity, Fresh weight of shoot increased up to 30 DAH and then decreased. Both fresh weight and breaking strength did not show consistent tendency with time of paclobutrazol application and observation. Direct effect of shoot fresh weight contributing to lodging index decreased with maturity. but that of breaking strength and culm length was similar during the ripening stages. Direct effect contributing to lodging index was greater in the order of breaking strength culm length. and fresh weight 40 DAH. Starch content of culm base decreased up to 20 DAH and then increased up to 40 DAH. Cellulose content increased up to 20 DAH, but hemicellulose and lignin did not change significantly during the ripening stages. Starch, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin contents of culm base did not correlated with breaking strength and time of paclobutrazol application did not show consistent results. Paclobutrazol applied 13 DBH did not reduce yield of rice. but the earlier applications reduced yield due to a reduced number of spikelets per panicle.

Cassia mimosoides var. nomame was grown at five phosphate rates (0, 5, 15, 25 and 35 kg/10a) at Cheju in 1998 to determine the influence of phosphate rate on growth, forage yield and quality. As phosphate rate increased from 0 to 35kg/10a, the plant growth was increased such as days to flowering, plant height, the number of branches and green leaves per plant, stem diameter and SPAD (Soil Plant Analysis Development) reading values of leaves but the number of withering leaves per plant decreased. Fresh forage yield was 3, 291kg/10a at 0 kg/10a of phosphate rate and increased 5, 200 and 5, 230 kg/10a at 25 and 35 kg/10a of phosphate level, respectively. Dry matter, crude protein and total digestible nutrients (TDN) showed the same tendency of changes as the fresh forage yield. Crude protein, crude fat, nitrogen free extract and TDN content increased but crude ash and crude fiber content decreased as the increasing of phosphate rate increased.
