  • This study was conducted to identify various types of activities of payment contract for ecosystem services. As supporting services, 12 types of activities were derived: fallow, eco-friendly crop cultivation, shelter creation management, etc. As regulating services, 5 types of activities were derived: stream environment purification, creation and management of riparian vegetation, creation and management of forests for responding to climate change, etc. As cultural services, five types of activities were derived: creation and management of landscape forests, creation and management of ecological trails, managing ecosystem conservation, etc.

  • The occurrence of insect pests of Lycium chinense was monitored at 4 organic farms that was cultivated with environment-friendly management at Cheongyang, Chungnam from May, 2012 to September, 2014. Total 4 orders and 18 species occurred in the L. chinense. Among them, 4 major pests and Lepidopteran and Hemipteran insect pests were investigated the occurrence pattern. During the budding, the population density of Myzus persicae was very high in late-May and early-June, and the injury by Lema decempunctata was increased from mid-June. The injuries by Henosepilachna vigintioctomaculata and Hedma lycia sp. were continued throughout the growing season. From the fruit held in late-July, hemipteran insects including Plautia stali and Halyomorpba balys were sucking the fruit, and their injury to L. chinense were gradually increased. In the case of Eriophys macrodonis densities to increase gradually from early July. The population density of E. macrodonis in 2014 was rapidly increased more than 5 times compared with 2012 and 2013. It was supposed that the initial control of mites or the removing of over-wintering density in the past year might be neglected. However, there is a need to more review the factors for the mass occurs.

  • In order to elucidate the residual characteristics of the insecticides, bifenthrin and imidacloprid, the pesticides were sprayed onto the squash and their residues were analyzed with GC-ECD and HPLC. Detection limits of the pesticides were $0.005\;mg;kg^{-1}$ and recoveries of bifenthrin and imidacloprid in squash were from 100.87 to 104.31 and from 79.71 to 92.54%, respectively. Half-lives of bifenthrin and imidacloprid in squash were from 1.8 to 2.9 and from 1.5 to 2.5 days, respectively. Initial concentration of bifenthrin and imidacloprid sprayed at the recommended rate and double rate of recommendation were less than their MRLs. And also, residueal concentrations of the pesticides were rapidly decreased in squash with time. At harvest, estimated daily intakes (EDIs) of the pesticides were less than 0.6% of their acceptable daily intakes (ADIs).

  • In this study, we summarized the definition of smart vegetable seedling production technology, analysis of smart seedling production system, a hardware and software configuration model for smart seedling production system, research and development trends in smart seedling production system, and proposed future research and development plans for smart seedling production technology. Smart vegetable seedling production is a data-based seedling production, management, and distribution system that utilizes 4th Industrial Revolution technology to improve seedling productivity and quality. The production of vegetable seedlings using smart seedling production technology can be efficiently managed by collecting, analyzing, and managing information on seedlings, environment, and tasks at each stage of production by linking with the smart seedling integrated management system. However, there is still a lack of standardization of seedling standards and quality for each vegetable crop to establish smart seeding production technology, as well as development of smart seedling production element technology, which requires national wide R&D support.

  • This study diagnosed the managerial ability of farmers in the Gokseong area and the Gwangyang area, and analysis was conducted especially placing focus on the difference in managerial ability on whether environmental friendly agriculture has been implemented or not. According to the analysis results, the average score of all the farmers was 63.9 out of the full score of 100 which can be seen to be a medium to high standard. Also, in the diagnosis results according to whether environmental friendly agriculture has been implemented or not, the ability scores of farmers practicing environmental friendly agriculture were higher than those who were not, but large differences between the item scores for information ability and cooperative ability were shown. This is connoting a very important meaning in terms of the point that correspondence is being made to the conditions required to possess market response capabilities to the high information systemization society to unfold in the future. As a result, the important issue can be seen to be personnel cultivation in order to possess self response capabilities through the development of education programs that can improve this kind of managerial ability and revision of support systems.

  • Forty schools having natural turf playgrounds were investigated by on-spot investigation and oral interviews with relevant school officials to find out basic information on turfgrass management practices of school playgrounds in Gyeonggi province. Average area of playground was $3,890m^2$ per school and $12m^2$ per student. Ninety five percent of turf playgrounds were managed by school staff and ninety percent of schools spent less than 5 million won per year for turf management. The difficulties in turfgrass management were considered as a major challenge for the schools, followed by turfgrass management cost. Among the management practices, school officials pointed out weed management as the most difficult work, followed by irrigation. The average number of fertilization and mowing was 2 and 6 times per year, respectively. About the half of playgrounds were irrigated only when there was wilting symptom. Zoysiagrass was the most popular choice for the school playgrounds and only three school playgrounds were established with pop-up irrigation system. Fourteen school playgrounds had good turf quality but the rest of school playgrounds had inadequate turf quality requiring minor or full renovation.
