In this biocontrol research, we evaluated disease suppressive effects of antagonistic bacterial strains ISE13 and KJ1R5 against Korean ginseng root rot caused by P. eaetorum. We also examined the effects of nutrient solution in the hydroponic culture system for Korean ginseng on biological activity of the bacterial strains. As results of dual culture tests of the bacterial strains on $V_{8}$ juice agar, the strain ISE13 showed antifungal activity against P. eaetorum and other plant pathogenic fungi, but the strain KJ1R5 did not. When their inhibitory effects against infection of P. eaetorum on the roots grown in either nutrient solution or water were tested, the strains ISE13 and KJ1R5 inhibited the disease severity of Korean ginseng roots only grown with water, compared to buffer-treated, inoculated controls. However, the nutrient solution used for hydroponic cultures of ginseng in pots caused higher levels of disease severity by the strains ISE13 and KJ1R5 from 418.8\%$ to 40.0\%$ and from 24.3\%$ to 45.0\%$, respectively. In this study, the bacterial strains ISE13 and KJ1R5 could be potentially biocontrol agents to suppress Korean ginseng root rot caused by P. eaetorum. However, more attention using nutrient solution in hydroponic cultures for Korean ginseng production should be applied in biocontrol of plant diseases using the antagonistic microorganisms.

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) plants were grown under hydroponic system to characterize the diurnal change of nitrate concentration and nitrate uptake rate and to examine the effect of short term cold treatment to rhizosphere on nitrate concentration and uptake rate in lettuce plant. The nitrate concentrations in midrib were two times higher than those in leaf. Nitrate concentration in the shoot reached to minimum (8.7 mg-N/GDW) at 14:00 and, thereafter, increased continuously until 23:00. During 11:00$\sim$17:00, nitrate uptake by lettuce plant was maximum (4.8 mg-N/GDW-Root/hr). Short term cold treatment reduced nitrate concentration in the shoot by 14$\sim$18%, and nitrate uptake rate by 50$\sim$55%, respectively. These results showed that short term cold treatment before harvest could be applied for the purpose of reduction of nitrate concentration in the leaf under hydroponic culture.

The key point on water culture is the precise irrigation control according to the growth condition of growing plant. And most existing irrigation controllers are operated independently. So, the manager must be resided at hydroponic farm. In this paper, we design the irrigation control system based on wireless Internet that can be providing various control functions according to the growth condition of growing plant by using the cellular phone.

The measuring system was developed for automation of hydroponic culture. It runs in Windows 3.1 and 95. Main window contains greenhouse screen and menu bars such as system setting, sensor calibration, greenhouse status, actuator control, file management, view, and help. Users can use pop-up menu, tool bar and status bat as well as menu bar for manipulation. Especially it was designed to retain flexibility for researchers, who changed detecting sensors frequently. Users can change storage intervals of files, of which 3 types were prepared to use in other software like as statistical programs, graphic programs and/or spread sheets. This system was adopted to deep flow culture system and evaluated to be appropriate for any kind of hydroponic systems.

The constructed closed recycling system discussed in this technical report will be economically viable in future for the production of fish and vegetable in earth, space station and space colony, further, it will contribute a lot in the prevention of pollution in the world's ecological system. To make combined system, water management (Nitrification) is required, and it took 45 days to breed microorganism which facilitates this process. After this period , the recycle was confirmed to be working .Using derived equations, the expected nutrient characteristics of waste water were determined and it was found that the resulting nutrient balance was almost same as that in hydroponic solution when KOH was added to maintain pH level. Reverse osmosis (RO) system could solve the problem of the low nutrient concentration . It was found that plants grow well in fish waste water which was produced using RO system. RO system could combine fish and plant production through the advantageous use of separated high concentration water for plant and permeated water for fish in integrated combined system.

Cherry tomatoes(Lycopersicon esculentum) were grown in circulating deep flow hydroponic system. The pH of the nutrient solution was increased and the EC was decreased with time. The clusters of ‘Mini Carol’ were branched severely, whereas those of ‘Chelsea Mini’ and ‘Popo’ were a little branched or not. The vegetative growth was similar between cultivars. But the yield of fruits was by far the largest in ‘Mini Carol’ compared to other cultivars, and not different between ‘Chelsea Mini’ and ‘Popo’. Internal qualities of fruits, like as sugar, sugar/organic acid, and vitamin C, are good in ‘Mini Carol’. As the result of panel test, ‘Mini Carol’ is good for softness, easeness of eating, toughness of skin and so on, so it is believed that ‘Mini Carol’ is the most acceptable to consumers in hydroponic culture.
