Five seed samples of carrot were tested to detect Alternaria spp. by blotter method. A. alternata and A. radicina were detected from all the seed samples as high as $25.8-70.5\%$ and $37.5-63.5\%$, respectively. A. dauci was detected from four seed samples as low as $0.5-7.5\%$. The three Alternaria spp. were detected from the pericarp and the seed coat and endosperm of the carrot seeds but not from the embryo by component plating test. A. alternata and A. radicina were much more detected from the pericarp than the seed coat and endosperm. A. dauci was detected from the pericarp and the seed coat and endosperm at similar rate. The seed sample which was most severely infected with A. radicina showed the lowest rate of germination in the test on top of paper (TP). In the TP test, differences in total infection rate of A. radicina and A. dauci of the seed samples were very closely correlated with those in incidence of seedling rot on the seed samples. However, there was no correlation between infection rate of A. alternata and rate of germination or seedling rot of the seed samples. Soil test for seedling growth revealed that there was no correlation between differences in total infection rate of A. radicina and A. dauci and those in rate of normal seedlings of the seed samples.

This experiment was conducted at Sangji university in Wonju, Korea from 2005 to 2006. The results obtained were summarized as follow; The Chung-ju local variety was tested to find out the possibility of transplanting of seedling as a after-barley crop. When transplanting of seedling for a after-barley crop was test, this short-day plant flowered from september 1 to september 3, showing no connection with sowing time nor seedling periods. The yield of seeds per 10a was affected by both the sowing time and the seedling periods and its peak in the plots sowed on May 15 and transplanted on June 24(40 days seedling).

This experiment was conducted to clarify the plant growth promoting effect of compost supplemented with cultured solution of photosynthetic bacteria(Rhodopseudomonas capsulatus) before sowing on the early growth of plug seedling of tomato and to evaluate the optimum concentration of bacterialization. Bacterializing concentrations(v/w) to the compost were 2%, 3.3%, 10%, 20% and 50%, respectively. Plant growth in terms of plant height, stem diameter, leaf area, total fresh and dry weight were promoted by the bacterialization of photosynthetic bacteria. Especially, in the plots supplemented with 10 to 20% the early growth was promoted markedly over 2 times. Compositions of photosynthetic bacteria consisted of crude protein 60.7%, soluble carbohydrates 20.1%, crude fat 7.6%, crude fiber 3.2% and crude ash 4.8, respectively.

Earthworm cast was investigated in this study in order to domestically develop inexpensive and safe plug nursery soil. 20,30,40 and 50% of earthworm cast were added to the nursery soil as vegetable plant growth media, in which peatmoss and vermiculite constituted the rest of the soil. The effects of earthworm cast on the growth of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seedling were obtained as follows. 1. According to the growth stages, significant differences(p=0.001) were recorded in number of leaves, leaf area and biological dry matter yield per plant(shoor or root dry matter yield per plant). In view of mixing ratios in the nursery soil, number of leaves, leaf area and stem weight per plant showed differences significantly at 1% level and leaf weight, root weight and biological dry weight per plant at 5% level, respectively. 2. The nursery soil with earthworm cast showed increased number of leaves and leaf area per plant compared to the commercial nursery soil particularly in the later stage of this study than in the earlier stage 3. Through the total period of seedling growth, leaf weight, stem weight and root weight per plant in the nursery soil with earthworm cast were genrally higher than those in the control and this trend was apparant in the treatment of more than 40% of mixing ratio with earthworm cast. 4. Although leaf weight per plant was higher than stem weight per plant till the 3rd week, from the 4th week stem weight per plant was getting higher. In the later stage of seedling growth, the stem weight was higher in the earthworm cast mixed treatment than that in the control. 5. There was no significant difference on biological dry matter yield in the earlier stage of this study, however in the later stage, it was higher in the earthworm cast mixed treatment than that in the control.

In 1994, an abnormal rice growth was observed in a 0.5-ha scale farmer's field located at Chogye-Myeon, Hapcheon-Gun, Gyeongnam Province where rice cv. Hwayeongbyeo was seeded directly in dry paddy field conditions. The major symptoms were less stands per acreage, short leaf length, and hypertrophy of root tip portion. The disorder was identified as rice seeding bight caused by Rhizopus sp. The average plant stand per m2 in the infested field was 108, while it was 375 in the normal field, and leaf growth was retarded to less than one-third of healthy plant. The average leaf lengths of infected and healthy seedlings were 12.8cm and 38.9cm, respectively. When the infected seedlings were transplanted to pots, flooded-soil conditions developed no new root growth but upland conditions allowed 11.2 new roots emerging. The length of newly emerged root in infested soil was 5.3cm in upland and 7.1cm in intermediate flooding conditions. However, it was 10.9cm in non-infested soil with intermediate flooding conditions. When the plants were matured, the stem length of infected plants was reduced slightly as compared to normal plants, whereas the length of panicle was not significantly different between infected and healthy plants. The number of panicle per plant, however, greatly different with variation of infection degree. Grain quality such as the number of complete and incomplete grains per panicle, the complete grain weight per panicle, and the weight of 1000 grains was not significantly different.

The aim of present study is to elucidate the effects of manganese and aluminium ions on the germination and seedling growth of Pinus banksiana and Alnus tinctoria and to estimate the limiting level of those ions in the cultivated soils. The rate of germination of Pinus banksiana was increased under the relatively low concentration of Mn and Al (100 p.p.m), however, the germinating activity was not affected. High concentration over 110 p.p.m. of Mn and Al was related to the reduced percentage of germination and seedling growth of Pinus banksiana and Alnus tinctoria. Soils sampled from various parts of Korea contained Mn as much as high level that would be harmful for the seedling growth of Pinus banksiana and Alnus tinctoria.
