In order to develop a commercial storage method of onions by irradiation combined with natural low temperature, two local varieties of onions, precocious species and late ripening, were stored at natural low temperature storage room ($450{\times}650{\times}250cmH.$; year-round temperature change, $2{\sim}17^{\circ}C$; R.H., $80{\sim}85%$) on batch scale following irradiation with optimum dose level. Precocious and late varieties were all sprouted after five to seven months storage, whereas $10{\sim}15$ Krad irradiated precocious variety was $2{\sim}4%$ sprouted after nine months storage, but sprouting was completly inhibited at the same dose for late variety. The extent of loss due to rot attack after ten months storage were $23{\sim}49%$ in both control and irradiated group of precocious variety but those of late variety were only $4{\sim}10%$. The weight loss of irradiated precocious variety after ten months storage was $13{\sim}16$, while that of late variety was $5.3{\sim}5.9%$ after nine months storage. The moisture content, during whole storage period, of two varieties were $90{\sim}93$ with negligible changes. The total sugar content differed little with varieties and doses immediatly after irradiation, but decreased by the elapse of storage period. 33.6% of its content was decreased in control and 12.5% in irradiated group but $20{\sim}26$ decreased in both control and irradiated group of late variety after nine months storage. No appreciable change was observed immediately after irradiation irrespective of variety and dose, but decreased slightly with storage. Ascorbic acid content of precocious variety was increased slightly with dose immediately after irradiation, but those of late variety decreased slightly. Ascorbic acid content were generally decreased during whole storage period. An economical preservation method of onions appliable to late variety, would be to irradiate onion bulbs at dost range of $10{\sim}15$ Krad followed by storage at natural low temperature storage room.

This study was conducted to find out the proper chemicals and doses for controlling the bulb disease of Lilium Oriental hybrids 'Capablanca' and 'Marco Polo' cultivars during storage, and to ascertain any disadvantage of the treatment on shoot growth and flower development. Bulbs of 'Casablanca' and 'Marco Polo' cultivars were dipped in some fungicide solutions, including azoxystrobin, benomyl+thiram, and prochloraz, and culture broth of antagonistic bacteria for one hour. The rot was apparently inhibited by azoxystrobin and prochloraz solution dippings and it was not by benomyl+thiram in bulbs produced domestically. To improve physiological integrity, calcium chloride was treated. However, this treatment had no positive effects on bulb rot of lily. When bulbs were dipped in one-fifth of diluted broth. But the bulb rot was inhibited effectively as compared with untreated during storage. Benomyl+thiram and that with calcium inhibited the sprouting in 'Casablanca' and 'Marco Polo' cultivars during cultivation. Calcium and benomyl+thiram treatments decreased growth of leaf and flower but with no statistically significant difference. Other fungicidal materials treated to bulbs showed no effect on vegetative growth and flower quality.

BACKGROUND: This study was conducted to determine effects of ridging systems and plastic film mulch types on growth, yield, and profitability of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in spring cropping using paddy field and to suggest profitable ridging system and plastic mulch type.METHODS AND RESULTS: Two potato cultivars ('Goun', and 'Atlantic') were grown at paddy field located in Gangneung in spring. For treatments, ridging systems were one-row ridge (OR) and two-row ridge (TR). Mulch types were no-mulch (NM), black plastic film mulch (BPM), and transparent plastic film mulch (TPM). Emergence of sprout was affected by the mulch types and the fastest level was shown at TPM treatment. Accumulative soil temperature during sprouting was 16.2℃ higher at TR than at OR and also higher at TPM than at BPM or NM. Stem length was not affected by ridging systems or mulch types. Leaf area index (LAI) was influenced by mulch types, while not by ridging systems. The highest LAI was shown at TR with TPM and OR of BPM. There was no significant difference in specific gravity or dry matter rate by ridging systems and mulch types. Tuber yield was significantly influenced by ridging systems and mulch types. Mean tuber weight was heavier at OR treatment than at TR and also the heaviest at TPM among mulch types. The highest marketable yield was found at OR with BPM. Based on marketable tuber yield and market price, the highest income ratio in two cultivars was found at OR with BPM and it was 20~82% higher than the ratio at TR with TPM.CONCLUSION: In spring potato cropping using paddy field, OR with BPM is better for high yield and is more profitable for farmer's income than the conventional cultivation method, TR with TPM.

Physicochemical properties were evaluated for stored garlic bulbs during 9 months under different conditions, such as low-temperature condition (3${\pm}$1$^{\circ}C$, 80${\pm}$5% RH, LT), pit-temperature condition (9${\pm}$6$^{\circ}C$, 80${\pm}$5% RH,PT) and ambient-temperature condition (14${\pm}$11$^{\circ}C$, 67${\pm}$5% RH, AT). The internal sprout development was more significant in pit and ambient conditions than in low temperature and thus certain means for sprout control is required for long-term storage of garlic bulbs under such conditions. The rates of rotting and weight loss were appreciable especially after 7 months of storage (next March) in the order of PT, AT and LT, when external sprouts were observed in PT and AT. Moisture content of stored samples were relatively constant in LT until next May, but that in W and AT was significantly reduced after next January. Total sugars showed a decreasing tendency with the prolonged period, whereas an apparent increase was found in the contents of reducing sugar and vitamin C along with external sprouting of garlic bulbs from the 7th month of storage (next March). Based on the results that around March is a limiting point in garlic storage at such conditions from the physiological and physicochemical points of view, improved storage condition should be applied to overcome the storage barrier.

The experiment was conducted to increase germination of Agrimonia pilosa seeds, one of the natural medicinal plants, by various treatments, and also the effects of seed treatments on the growth of plants after sowing in field. The optimum temperature for germination of A. pilosa seeds was $20^{\circ}C$ after 20 days stratification duration at $4^{\circ}$, the germination rate than highest, 86% at that temperature. The stratification increased germination rate in all the temperatures treated, shortened $26{\sim}32$ days of germination period and promoted more 20% germination rate than the other treatments. Flowing water, low temperature, $GA_3$ and NaOCl were not effective for germination and high temperature reduced germination rate. At the early growth stage, the plant height was taller $3{\sim}4\;cm$, one or more leaves were increased by the stratification treatments, and also stratification increased the number of leaves per plants 10 or more leaves compare with other treatments at harvesting stages. By stratification, the flowering date was 5 days earlier, June 18th than other treatments due to earlier sprouting.

The bird repellent, methiocarb 50% WP, has been used to reduce the bird damage in the crop field in the European countries. The bird damage occaisonally would occur in the wet direct seeded rice and in soybean field, and resulted in decreasing the crop productivity by the reduction of seedling emergence rate. In this experiment, rice seeds, Hwasungbyeo(Oryza sativa), were coated with the different application rate of methiocarb, 5, 10 and 15 per kg seed, and soybean, Taegwangkong(Glycine max), 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5g. In rice, the seeds coated with 10 and 15g of methiocarb were not lost by bird, while those with 5g and control were lost to 37 and 50% of total seeds, respectively. No damage by birds was observed in rice seedling when the coleoptile and radicle of rice were emerged at 7 days after the water seeding. The crop injury of methiocarb reducing the emergence rate of seedlings, shortening the shoot length, and decreasing the leaf number was occurred at the treated of methiocarb 15g per kg seed. In soybean, the loss of the sprouting by birds was lower in the treatment of methiocarb 7.5g per kg seed than that in both the control and the treatments of methiocarb, 2.5 and 5.0g per kg seed. No crop injury by the treatment of methiocarb was observed in all application rate.

The objective of this study was to determine the influence of grafting timing, rootstock cut timing and leaf removal with promalin ($GA_{4+7}+BA$) treatments on the maiden tree growth, lateral development and flower bud initiation. In mid-March 1997, two-year-old M.9-T337 rootstocks selected with trunk diameter over 1 cm were planted in the field. Chip budding with 'Fuji' scion on M.9-T337 rootstock budded in mid-April was earlier in sprouting than chip budding in mid-June. Late cutting chip budding (LCCB) with 'Fuji' scion on M.9-T337 rootstock was lower in the failed budding percentage with 14% than that of early cutting chip budding (ECCB). Especially, ECCB in April was not suitable for scion growth such as uniformity with high percentage of failed tree. Grafting timing in mid-June and rootstock cutting timing of LCCB induced more branches and flower buds than other treatments. Removal of 8 to 10 uppermost immature leaves on central leader stem and application of Promalin 250 mg/L after every 30 cm of terminal growth produced a 189 cm tall tree with 9 flower buds and 14.2 short lateral shoot from 30 to 35 cm long in length in 1998. Promalin increased branching on second-season growth and, when combined with leaf removal, resulted in uniform distribution of branches along the central leader stem.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of post-harvest drying method and subsquent storage condition on the quality of garlic bulbs for 10 months from July, 1980 to April, 1981. The 27% weight loss of garlic bulbs by HPHD (hot air post-harvest frying) for 12 days at $40^{\circ}C$ (8hrs/day) was equal to that by NPHD (conventional natural post-harvest drying) for 35 days. But the decay occured 5.5% only in NPHD. During the storage period of garlic bulbs by HPHD, their decay and weight ]oss were less 25.4% and 13.5% in ambient storage, and less 14.2% and 7.5% in low temperature storage than those of NPHD. When garlic bulbs were stored in low temperature, the weight loss and decay were less 20.0% and 22.4% in NPHD, and tess 14.0% and 9.9% in HPHD than those in ambient temperature storage. The Quality of garlic bulbs packed with 0.08mm polyethylene film stored at ambient temperature for 2 months was so poor as to be inedible because of the adverse effect of $CO_2$ and the growth of molds, but in low temperature storage for 10 months it was in good shape showing the weight loss, the decay and the sprouting 2.6%, 3.4% and 26.8%, respectively.

To newly discover the placeness of Xita Koreatown in Shenyang, this study establishes the conceptual structure of urban inclusivity based on the actor-network theory and the main discourse of inclusive cities. It then applies a framework to the relevant space for analysis. We conduct the case study by first identifying a historical timeline by dividing the age from the founding of New China to the present into sprouting and developing stages of Xita Koreatown, extracting major actors out of time, and finally creating a network graph for each of the six periods representing changes in the region. Throughout this process, we not only analyze the aspect of transition in the urban inclusivity of Xita Koreatown but also prospect the feasibility of an inclusive city for the area. The results of this study are as follows. First, the number and type of actors constituting Xita Koreatown have constantly increased significantly since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea. The related actor-networks have also continued to expand in all indicators of urban inclusivity. Secondly, the agency of human actors such as Korean-Chinese, locals, and both South and North Koreans, representing the specificity of Xita Koreatown, has continuously improved. Lastly, due to the increase of cultural exchanges and related policy actors, the actor-network in this region has achieved an unprecedented leap forward. In conclusion, the urban inclusivity of Xita Koreatown in Shenyang shows significant growth in quality, with expectations of further improvement.

The experiment was conducted to investigate effects of bensulfuron-methyl{methyl 2-((((((4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)amino)carbony)amino)sulfonyl)methyl)benzoate}on bud sprouting, percent regrowth, and regrowth from growth cessation in Eleocharis kuroguwai. Application of bensulfuron-methyl resulted in sprouts of two of three lateral buds in addition to the apical bud of E. kuroguwai. With bensulfuron-methyl the culms elongated from the sprouted buds were killed soon after emergence. However, the buds remained biologically active. During the period of growth cessation the tuber buds respired in a minimum rate, but respiration began to increase with regrowth. At regrowth increase in the respiration was greater in the lateral buds than in the apical bud. Days required to regrowth was 35 days in the suppressed apical bud when applied at the rate of 51 g a. i. ha bensulfuron-methyl, while the suppressed lateral buds sprouted first and second required 29 and 28 dyas, respectively. After regrowth number of new culms was two to three times greater in the lateral buds than in the apical bud.
