With the emergence and development of ecological engineering in China, and also the research and demonstration of Chinese Ecological Agriculture (CEA), in recent 10 years many types of ecological engineering have been appeared in Southern China, they could be classified into 4 typical patterns. These typical patterns are; 1. Ecological Building (EB), such as ecological public toilet, ecological garden, ecological integrated building, farmers' ecological household, the combine of ecological building and CEA; 2. Ecological Engineering in Paddy Field (EEPF), like rice-fish system, water caltrop-wild ricestem-fish system, mulberry-silkworm-pig-fish system; 3. Ecological Engineering of Agroforestry Systems (EEAF), as tea-food crops intercropping system, rubber-tea-chicken system, bamboo-chicken system, fruit tree-chicken system, metasequoia-fish-duck system; 4. Ecological Engineering Linked with Biogas (EELB), such as animal (pig)-biogas-fish system, animal (pig)-biogas-fruit tree system, animal-biogas-food crops system. Some case studies were presented in the paper. It is showed that these typical patterns have better ecological, social and economic benefits, now they are deeply been extending in southern China.

Commercially managed bees are available for pollination services and are used in large commercial fields, small gardens, or enclosures such as greenhouses and screen houses. This paper describes the current status and agricultural utilization of commercially managed bumblebees as well as bumblebee rearing techniques in Korea. We surveyed the use rate and number of bumblebees for the pollination of 10 major horticultural crops and fruit trees in Korea; in 2009, the use rates were approximately 7.9% and 2.8%, respectively. The use number of bumblebees as pollinators was more than 64,345 colonies, which included 51,400 colonies for 10 major horticultural crops and 12,945 colonies for 10 major fruit trees in 2009. The value of bumblebees as pollinators in 2009 in Korea was estimated at more than 5,100,000,000 won. We also describe feeding, rearing room conditions, colony initiation, mating and diapause breaks to establish year-round mass rearing techniques of the bumblebee Bombus ignitus.

Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) is an outstanding technology for genotyping and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) discovery compared to next generation sequencing (NGS) because it can save time when analyzing large-scale samples and carries a low cost per sample. Recently, studies using GBS have been conducted on major crops and, to a greater extent, on fruit crops. However, many researchers have some problems due to low GBS efficiency resulting from low quality GBS libraries. To overcome this limitation, we developed an efficient GBS library construction method that regulates important conditions such as restriction enzymes (RE) digestion and a PCR procedure for grapevine. For RE digestion, DNA samples are digested with ApeKI (3.6U) at $75^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours and adapters are ligated to the ends of gDNA products. To produce suitable PCR fragments for sequencing, we modified the PCR amplification conditions; temperature cycling consisted of $72^{\circ}C$ (5 min), $98^{\circ}C$ (30 s), followed by 16 cycles of $98^{\circ}C$ (30 s), $65^{\circ}C$ (30 s), $72^{\circ}C$ (20 s) with a final extension step. As a result, we had obtained optimal library construct sizes (200 to 400 bp) for GBS analysis. Furthermore, it not only increased the mapping efficiency by approximately 10.17% compared to the previous method, but also produced mapped reads which were distributed equally on the19 chromosomes in the grape genome. Therefore, we suggest that this system can be used for various fruit crops and is expected to increase the efficiency of various genomic analysis performed.

농가를 운영함에 있어서 수확한 작물에 대한 품질을 평가하여 불량품을 분류하는 작업은 매우 중요하다. 그러나, 농가는 부족한 자본과 인력으로 인하여 품질평가에 소요되는 비용과 시간을 감당하는데 어려움이 있다. 이에 본 연구는 인공지능 기술인 딥 러닝 알고리즘을 이용하여 과일의 표피를 분석함으로써 불량을 검출하고자 한다. 과일을 촬영한 동영상 이미지에 대하여 영역기반 합성곱 신경망(Region Convolutional Neural Network)을 기반으로 한 YOLOv3 알고리즘을 적용하여 표피를 분석할 수 있는 모델을 개발하였다. 총 4개의 클래스를 정해서 학습을 진행하였고, 총 97,600번의 epoch을 통해서 우수한 성능의 불량검출 모델을 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제안한 농작물 불량검출 모델은 데이터 수집, 분석된 데이터를 통한 품질평가, 그리고 불량검출에 이르는 과정의 자동화에 활용될 수 있다. 특히, 농작물들 중에서도 외상에 가장 취약한 복숭아를 대상으로 분석모델을 개발하였기 때문에, 다른 작물에도 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The influence of lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE) on anti-senescence of melon leaves and the change in fruit quality during the storage at low temperature were studied. In most of the crops, freshness of leaves is important factor for characteristics of fruits, such as sugar contents, color, and firmness. Melon ($Cucumis$ $melo$ L. cv. Prince) plants were sprayed with LPE at 5 and 3 weeks before commercial harvest. In upper part, LPE treatment showed slight high number of fresh leaf compared to no treatment (None). However, in lower part, LPE resulted in apparent inhibition effect on senescence, showing that lower side of melon plant kept fresh upon LPE application up to about 30%. The SSC of melon treated with LPE was similar to that of fruit from None at harvest. There was no change in soluble solids content (SSC) for all treatment during the storage at $7^{\circ}C$. There were no significant differences in firmness of mesocarp from melons given different treatments at harvest. The firmness of mesocarp from melon treated with LPE was higher than none after 2 weeks storage. The electrolyte leakage means for melon treated with LPE did not differ significantly from the means at initial storage after 2 weeks storage among the treatments. None increased 57% from its initial electrolyte leakage during storage. These results suggest that the application of LPE may have potential to inhibit senescence of leaves and maintain fruit quality during the storage in melon.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the farms growing domestic kiwi fruit 'Gold' on their management performance and efficiency in order to reduce the risks involved with introducing new kind of crops for growing, and suggest improvements. First, the result of analysis showed that domestic kiwi fruit 'Gold' growers' income were higher than the average growers due to the fruit's high unit price and productivity. Second, the analysis of management efficiency resulted in scale efficiency having greater impact on inefficiency rather than pure technical efficiency. As for the analysis of technical efficiency, the depreciation costs of agricultural facilities had the greatest influence on its inefficiency. Third, inefficient farms put in excessive inputs across the board, while labor costs(self labor cost + hired labor cost) were the largest factor of optimal inputs according to the models of technical efficiency and pure technical efficiency. Fourth, because of greater reliance on mechanical tools from rising labor costs, there's a need for individual farms to avoid buying farming equipments and instead share the equipments of nearby farms and agricultural cooperatives, or start renting agricultural machines from companies.

Agro-ecosystem plays an important role in the mitigation of atmospheric $CO_2$ concentration through photosynthesis and soil carbon fixation. The perennial crops have capacity of carbon accumulation because they have lived for years in the same position. Carbon dioxide fixation occurs in the fruit orchard by photosynthesis and soil carbon sequestration. The objectives of this review are to introduce the fruit orchard as a carbon dioxide sink and to summarize the methods that measure $CO_2$ flux in the orchard. There are three difference methods (chamber, biomass, and eddy covariance method) to measure $CO_2$ exchanges on sites. However, there is no standard method suitable for fruit cultivation condition in Korea. Thus the standard method have to be developed in order to exactly estimate the carbon accumulation. In foreign studies, the carbon assessments were conducted in apple, peach, olive, grape orchard and so on. On the other hand the estimation of $CO_2$ exchange was carried out for apple and mandarine orchard in Korea. According to these results, fruit orchard is a $CO_2$ sink even though amount of carbon accumulation is smaller than the forest. To introduce certainly fruit orchard as greenhouse gas sink, long-term monitoring and further study have to be conducted under each planting condition.
