The change of physico-chemical properties of paddy soil was monitored under different tillage. This study was conducted on Jeonbug silty cly loam, in Honam Agricultural Experiment Station, for four years starting from 1992. Different tillage involved (1)Continued no tillage, (2)Rotavation only with tractor every year, (3)Spring plowing with power tiller plus rotavation with tractor every year. The result of this study can be summarized as: Non tillage, when continued for some years, tended to increase 1)the hardness of soil, 2)the root density in the top soil, 3)the occurrence of annual and perennial weeds, and tended to lower the yield of rice compared to normal tillage(tilling with ow tiller in the spring plus rotavation by tractor before planting.

This experiment was conducted to find out the useful data for upland crop cultivation in the newly reclaimed tidal land. Poseung silty clay loam soil was selected, and cotton(Mogpo VII) and tall fescue were cultivated under different drainage systems and soil ameliorator applications. Soil hardness and bulk density were decreased by subsurface drainage and plastic film installed at 40cm depth of the soil. Red earth application was also effective to loosen the soil, but zeolite and gypsum made the subsoil compact. Water content of the soil was high in surface drain than that of subsurface drain or plastic film curtain plot during dry season. The water content was in order of plastic film curtain, surface drain and subsurface drain. Electrical conductivity(EC) was decreased to lower than 0.4 Simens $meter^{-1}$ ($SM^{-1}$) in the subsurface drain during rainy season, and the EC of subsurface drain was maintained a quater to an half of surface drain. The yield of cotton and tall fescue were high in order of subsurface drain, plastic film curtain and surface drain plot. The yields of cotton were increased to 36-73 % by ameliorator application, and the red earth application was more effective for tall fescue growth compare to gypsum and zeolite.

The growth characteristics of cool season turfgrass in the seaside landfill golf courses with the single-use of kentucky bluegrass and mixed-use with kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass in the coast line are as follows. Water infiltration rate was higher in the kentucky bluegrass single-use groups recorded as 95.6∼125.9cm/hr than in the roups mixed with kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass recorded as 180.3∼386.2cm/hr. The surface soil hardness and the soil penetration were ranged from 16.6 to 18.0mm and from 6.0 to 7.3kg/cm$^2$, respectively. The cultivar that showed the most excellent visual quality and visual color in the kentucky bluegrass single-use groups was Midnight(KB2), whose density around the root was relatively excellent, as well. North Star(KB3) known as highly resistant to salt was the secondarily excellent cultivar. Brilliant(KB1) had visual quality of about third grade, however, it seemed profitable to develop turfgrass ground by virtue of its high density. As of April 26, 2003, when 2 weeks had passed after seeding, the visual quality was better in the groups mixed with kentucky bluegrass and perennial rye grass than in the kentucky bluegrass single-use groups. The most excellent visual color was found in Midnight(KB2)+Brightstar SLT(PR2) among the groups mixed with kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass. On August 4, 2003, a disease was found from one experimental group in Blackstone(KB4) and expanded into more than 50cm of diameter.

Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of turnip pickles added with chitosan and/or beet water extract were investigated. Turnip root slices (4${\times}$1${\times}$0.5 cm) were salted with NaCl and CaCl$_2$, soaked into pickling solution, and then stored at 2$0^{\circ}C$. Throughout the whole storage periods, pH, acidity, saltiness and soluble solid content of three pickles (C, turnip pickle; CC, turnip pickle+chitosan; CBC, turnip pickle+chitosan+beet water extract) ranged to 3.1 ∼ 3.5, 1.5 ∼ 1.7%, 0.5 ∼ 0.7% and 24.5 ∼ 28.5$^{\circ}$Brix, respectively. There were no significant differences between three pickles in saltiness, anthocyanin and reducing sugar content. However, acidity and hardness of CC and CBC were higher than those of control C throughout the storage time. While Hunter's a value of CBC was higher than those of CC or C. Sensory results showed that the best edible time was the 14th day of storage, and at that time, scores of CC and CBC were higher in over-all preference (7.8 and 8.4) than those of C (6.1), and CC and CBC maintained good sensory qualities until 28th day of storage, compared to C (p<0.05).

Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of turnip pickle prepared with different pickling spices were investigated. Turnip root slices(4${\times}$1${\times}$0.5 cm) were salted with NaCl and CaCl$_2$, and then soaked into pickling solution added to commercial (pickle P) or manufactured (pickle M) pickling spice, and then stored at 2$0^{\circ}C$. Throughout the whole storage periods, the acidity, pH, saltiness and reducing sugar content of two pickles were 3.1∼3.5%, 1.4∼1.7, 0.2∼0.6% and 25.2∼30.4 mg/mL, respectively. There were no significant differences between two pickles in saltiness, anthocyanin, reducing sugar content, color(Hunter L, a and b value) and hardness. However, acidity of pickle M was higher than that of pickle P throughout the storage time. Sensory results showed that the best edible time was the 14th day of storage, and at that time, scores of pickle M was higher in 리avor(7.3 and 6.9), taste(7.8 and 5.4) and over-all preference(8.0 and 6.1) than those of pickle P, and pickle M maintained good sensory qualities until 28th day of storage, compared to pickle P(p<0.05).

The effect of CA storage on the fresh ginseng roots were investigated. The quality of red ginseng prepared from the roots of CA storages were also evaluated and following results were abtained. 1. Fresh ginseng roots stored at controlled atmosphere showed normal appearances for as long as 6 months, while they were contaminated with fungi in 3 months when stored in the refrigerator. 2. The weights of fresh ginseng roots were reduced for 180 days to 9% and $4{\sim}5%$ in cold storage and CA storage, respectively. Those of CA storage were higher than cold storage in their hardness. 3. Bitterness of the fresh ginseng root was generally decreased as it was stored long. The decrease in bitterness of CA group was less than cold-storage group. 4. Respiration of CA group was lower than that of cold-storage group for whole storage periods. 5. Red ginseng perpared from the fresh roots stored for 180 days was incomplete in gelation and its husk was easily detached. 6. Total saponins of the red ginseng made from the fresh ginseng of CA storage was greatly reduced as compared to that prepared commonly.

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplemental dry powder of Rehmannia radix (RR) root on the growth performance and physiological status of broiler chicks. The treatments consisted of corn-soybean meal control diet, and RR 0.5, 1, and 2％ diets. A total of 160 Arbor Acre male broiler chicks were randomly allotted to 16 pens ; four pens per treatment and 10 birds per pen. The growth performance, feed intake and carcass weight did not show any differences among the treatment groups, but feed conversion was significantly lower (P< 0.05) in RR 1％ group than that of the control group. The muscle color was lighter (P < 0.05) in RR lof group than those of the other treatment groups. The blood concentrations of protein, glutamic-oxaloacetic-transaminase (GOT) and glutamic- pyruvic-transaminase (GPT) were not different (P > 0.05) among the treatment groups, but the blood total cholesterol content was significantly decreased (P < 0.05) in RR 2％ group than those the other treatment groups. The blood concentration of sugar was lower (P <0.05) in RR 2％ group than those of the other treatment groups, and hemoglobin concentration was decreased (P <0.05) by addition RR. Crude fat content of thigh muscle was higher in RR 1％ group than those of the other treatment groups, and bone hardness of broiler chicks fed RR was higher (P < 0.05) than that of the control group. The saturated fatty acid content of the thigh muscle tende to be high in control and RR 0.5％ groups, and unsaturated fatty acid content tende to be high in RR 1 and 2％ groups than those of the other treatment groups

This study investigated changes in quality characteristics of wrap- and vacuum-packaged peeled lotus roots treated with strong acidic electrolyzed acid water (SAEW pH 2.58, ORP 1,128 mV, HClO 105.0 ppm) or low alkaline electrolyzed water (LAEW pH 8.56, ORP 660 mV, HClO 73.8 ppm) as immersion liquids prior to packaging and storage at 5C. Immersion of peeled lotus roots in SAEW and LAEW reduced initial microbial load by about 1 log compared to treatment with tap water (TW). Hardness differences on storage were observed. However, reduction in PPO activity by electrolyzed water was not reproducible. Changes in Hunter's color value and the color difference value ($\Delta$) of peeled lotus roots immersed in 0.5% (w/v) sodium metabisulfite (SMS) and electrolyzed water were smaller than those of roots treated with TW prior to storage. Sensory characteristics measured during storage were best-preserved in lotus roots previously immersed in 0.5% (w/v) SMS or electrolyzed water, compared to TW. Immersionin electrolyzed water and vacuum packaging preserves the quality of peeled lotus roots in terms of microbial, visual, and sensory aspects, at levels comparable to those offered by storage after treatment with 0.5% (w/v) SMS.

This study was conducted to find out the changes of soil physical properties and rice growth by the different soil prepartion, such as direct seeding in dry or submerged condition, tillage or no-tillage, and transplanting the infant seedlings. Soil bulk density and hardness were higher in no-tillage plots than tillage plots, and in dry-seeding plots than submerged seeding plots. Permeability of no-tillage plot was increased 56% and water requirement was also increased 27% compare to the conventional transplanting condition. In no-tillage plot, the soil water contents were so rapidly decreased that easily changed to optimum condition for machinery working. The root growth of rice was inhibited as increasing the soil bulk density at early stage, bottom of culm in no-tillage submerged plot was located 0.9cm above the soil surface and the rice plant slightly lodged. The root distribution of surface layer was higher in no-tillage plot and the heading date was 2 days earlier in no-tillage plots than tillage plots, and 3 days earlier in dry seeding plot than submerged seeding plot. Rice yields of no-tillage plots were 5.55 M/T/ha and 5.16 M/T/ha for dry and submerged seeding respectively. These yields were lower about 12.1 % in dry seeding and 18.3% in submerged seeding compare with 6.31M/T/ha of transplanting plot. Rice yields were higher at dry seeding than submerged seeding in no-tillage condition, but in tillage condition, the rice yields were better at submerged seeding plot than dry one.

This study was conducted to investigate the response of growth and yield of rice under five different cultural methods, machine transplanting(MTNT), puddled drill seeding (PDSNT), drill seeding on soil surface (DSNT) , broadcasting on soil surface (BSNT) under no-tillage paddy condition and conventional machine transplanting(MTT) in Jeonbuk series(siltyloam soil) from 1993 to 1995. Soil hardness was higher in no-tillage soil and increased with highly difference between tillaged and no-tillage soil with deeper soil depth. Bulk density was heavier in no-tillage soil and porosity was higher in tilled soil than that of the control. The rate of effective tiller was higher in MTT, following MTNT, PDSNT, DSNT and BSNT. Weed occurrence was more serious in no-tillage soil, than that of tillaged soil. The rate of lower internode length was lower in DSNT and BSNT and was similar with MTT in PDSNT and MTNT. Height of center gravity in terms of lodging tolerance was lower in direct seeding than in machine transplanting. Depth of buried culm was shorter in no-tillage soil, especially in DSNT and BSNT. Total amount of root was higher in MTT, following MTNT, PDSNT, BSNT and BSNT and the distribution rate of root in shallower soil layer was higher in no-tillage soil, especially in BSNT and DSNT. Field lodging occured highly in BSNT, following DSNA, PDSNT and MTNT with high lodging scale in DSNT and BSNT. Panicle number per unit land square meter was the highest in MTT and the least in BSNT. Ripened grain ratio was low in BSNT and DSNT due to heavy lodging. Yield of milled rice was 93% in PDSNT, 87% in DSNT, 81% in BSNT and 96% in MTNT, compared with 534kg /10a in MTT.
