As sprout vegetables of interest growing, its maintaining the quality of the technology was needed to solve the problem of increasing growth and maintain quality after harvest. This experiment proved that the quality of radish sprout vegetable was affected by CO₂ treatment during cultivation. Thus, the effect of CO₂ treatment during cultivation on postharvest quality of radish sprout vegetable was investigated in terms of the quality changes in weight loss, gas partial pressure, SPAD, hue angle external appearance during storage at polypropylene film (thickness 30 ㎛) at 10℃. CO₂ treatment used the way to gas with 700 ppm or carbonated water with 700 ppm and 1,400 ppm. The study revealed that growths on CO₂ treated plant were more than those of non-treatment on stem length. After harvesting, the CO₂ treated plant and control growing little different characteristics on fresh weight, plant length and so on. However, there were no differences between the CO₂ treated plant and control on the Fv/Fm and SOD (superoxide dismutase). In gas partial pressure, the O₂ consumption and CO₂ accumulation of the CO₂ treated plant tended to be more than that of non-treated plant. This study also checked that after packaging, the effects of CO₂ treatment during cultivation on the quality of radish sprout vegetable was not significant. However, there were tended to CO₂ treatments were lower value compared to control on SPAD, hue angle and general appearance. CO₂ treatments of radish sprouting vegetable before harvest were improve growth of stem length, but ones were not improving the maintain of quality on radish sprout vegetable during shelf-life period. The results indicated that CO₂ treatment only affected stem elongation until radish sprout vegetable its growth.

Changes in proximate composition and meat weight of oysters cultured in shallow-water at Bukman bay of Tongyeong in Korea with Korean and Japanese spats were investigated. Protein content (dry basis) was rich in August and September, accounting for $70\~72\%$ in the oyster (Korean oyster) cultured with Korean spat and $75\~76\%$ in the oyster (Japanese oyster) cultured with Japanese spat. On the contrary to protein content, carbohydrate contents (dry basis) in the both oysters were poor in the both months, There was a negative correlation (r=-0.94, p<0.01) between protein and carbohydrate content during growing of the bath spats. Total lipid (TL) content was the poorest in August, which is known as spawning season, accounting for $1.4\~1.5\%$ in the both oysters. In addition, the korean oyster also showed the lowest level or TL content in october. Meat weights or the Korean and japanese oysterswere 4.2$\~$4.8 g/specimen and 7.5$\~$8.3 g/specimen, respectively, in the harvest season from November to December. Meat weight increased exponentially with TL content, $y=0,2081e^{1.5696x}$ (r=0.8856, p<0.001). These nutritional components per specimen were contained about two times more in the Japanese oyster than in the Korean one in the harvest period.

Fusarium infection rate of the paddy rice grain after harvest seemed to be influenced by the average temperature from late July (before heading) to the end of September (during ripening). In case of 2010 and 2013 in which average temperature of the same period was similar, Fusarium infection was related to cumulative precipitation, cumulative precipitation days, and precipitation durations over two days. The distribution ratio of Fusarium species complex isolated from paddy rice grains after harvest was 57% in 2010 and 45% in 2013 for Fusarium graminearum species complex (FGSC), 35% and 50% for Fusarium incarnatum-equiseti species complex, and 8% and 5% for Fusarium fujikuroi species complex (FFSC). The distribution ratios of FGSC and FFSC were higher in 2010 than 2013. Among the total 26 promoted rice varieties, the 'Mihyang' showed resistant response against the natural infection with Fusarium species belonging to FGSC and the varieties of 'Nampyeong', 'Hi-ami'and 'Younghojinmi' showed resistant response against the natural infection with overall Fusarium pathogens. Majority of the promoted rice varieties could not be classified for resistance or susceptibility. These results are valuable as basic data to determine the resistance and susceptibility of rice variety against Fusarium spp. infection in the field.

Sweet corn hybrid GCB 70 and super sweet corn hybrid NES were cultivated at vinyl tunnel in 1991 to determine the physiologically optimum harvest time for higher eating quality and sugar contnent of kernel by eat parts after silking and stored in refrigerator of 4$^{\circ}C$ and in the air. The development of ear increased continuously from silking to 30th day after silking, and sugar content was the hightest on 15th day after silking. The physiologically optimum harvest time for GCB 70 and NES was about 15~20th day and 20~25th day after silking, respectively. The sugar content of kernel by ear parts for two hybrids were high in order of basal, middle and top parts of the ear and showed significant differences among the parts of the ear. Changes of total sugar content during the storing period at 4$^{\circ}C$ for NES was almost the same by 9th day, but for GCB 70 rapidly decreased from 3rd day. The content of sucrose, glucose and fructose in super sweet corn NES were much higher than those of sweet corn GCB 70, but the maltose content of NES was lower than that of GCB 70.

Weak persistence of white clover （Trifolium repens L.） under continuous grazing has been limited its availability in the mixture with grasses. The experiment was done to determine the effect of defoliation interval on $N_2$ fixation. nitrogen and carbohydrate partitioning of contrasting white clover cultivars. Individual plants of Osceola（large leaf）, Grasslands Huia （me-dium leaf）, and Aberystwyth S184 （small leaf） were grown in 15cm plastic pot containing a 1：2：1 soil：sand：Promix mixture for 55 days, and then clipped to remove all fully expanded leaves every 7, 14 or 28 days. To measure the cultivar response, plants were sampled immediately before final harvest （0） and on 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days after the final harvest, and then seperated leaves and petioles, stolons and roots for chemical analysis. Total nonstructural carbohydrate （TNC） concentrations of stolons and roots, and nitrogen con-centration of all the fractions inclined with increased defoliation interval. Those of Osceola, large leaved, were greater than the other cultivars showing different partitioning patterns between stolons and roots. Concentration of TNC was less in roots than in the other fractions while that of nitrogen declined in the order of leaves and petioles, roots and stolons. $N_2$ fixation rate of larger leaved cultivar, Osceola, was higher than that of smaller leaved cultivar. TNC and nitrogen concentrations of all the fractions and $N_2$ fixation rate were reduced as defoliation was imposed, defoliation interval declined or regrowing period become shorter. The partitioning patterns of TNC and nitrogen among the fractions were modified by defoliation interval and cultivars.

Pear cultivar 'Sinhwa' (Pyrus pyrifolia var. culta Nakai) was originated from a cross between 'Niitaka' and Whasan' with the aims of improving the fruit quality and the traits of cultivation and of early maturing more than 'Whasan' cultivar at Pear Research Station of National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science, Rural Development Administration in 1995. 'Sinhwa' was preliminarily selected in 2004 and named in 2009. The tree shows vigorous growth habit and semi-spread characters like 'Niitaka'. Furthermore, it has a sufficient and well upkeep of the flower bud, so it can be more easily cultivated in orchards. In the flower characteristics, flowering time of 'Sinhwa' is $11^{th}$ April like as maternal parent 'Niitaka'. Also 'Sinhwa' has short of pollen grains, so it is need above two pollinizer cultivars. 'Sinhwa' is highly resistant to black leaf spot (Alternaria kikuchiana) and relatively strong to pear scab (Venturia nashicola) in field condition. The optimum harvest time is around Sep. $15^{th}$ in Naju, which is ahead of 'Whasan' about 10 days in the harvest period. The fruit shape is oblate and fruit skin color is yellowish-brown during harvesting time. The average weight of fruit is 627 g, and the soluble solids content is $13.0^{\circ}Brix$. The flesh is very soft and juicy, and renders good eating quality. Shelf life is about 30 days under the room temperature condition.

Crown gall of rose (Rosa hybrida) was observed in greenhouse during 2003-2007. The average disease incidence was up to 38.1 % and was more severe in hydroponic culture as compared to soil culture. The typical gall symptom occurred mainly on the root, crown, or both, and resulted on poor rooting, growth retardation and yield loss. The reduction rate of rooting influenced by crown gall was 57.5% as compared to healthy plants on nursery stock. The location of gall formation in the plant influenced growth vigor resulting in symptoms such as poor shooting. Healthy plants produced 19.1 flowers/$m^2$, while diseased plants produced 9.5 flowers/$m^2$ during the same cultivation period. Moreover, the number of days to flowering was longer for the diseased plants than for healthy plants - 51.2 days and 39.8 days for first harvest, and 60.6 days and 52.1 days for the second harvest, respectively. Conclusively, infection on the basal stem caused serious loss of the number of shoot formation; yield loss of cut flower was 38.7% due to crown gall infection and delay of harvesting time about 8-10 days.

Chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) is widely used for post-harvest sterilization treatment. However, there are limitations in the retail application of ClO₂ due to difficulties in handling, expensive facilities, and safety concerns. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a ClO₂ technology that can be easily applied and continuously released for a long period. In this study, a series of ClO₂ self-releasing sachets were developed. First, poly(ether-block-amide) (PEBAX) and polyethylene-glycol (PEG) composite films containing different ratios of citric acid (CA) were prepared using the solution casting method. The as-prepared PEBAX/PEG-CA composite films were evaluated using FT-IR, DSC, and TGA to confirm chemical structure and thermal properties. Subsequently, PEBAX/PEG-CA composite films were designed in the form of a sachet and NaClO₂ powder was transferred into the sachet to achieve a ClO₂ self-releasing system. The ClO₂-releasing behavior of the sachet was investigated by measuring the release amount of the gas using UV-vis. The release amount of ClO₂ increased with increasing CA contents owing to the existence of higher protons (trigger) in the polymer matrix. Further, ClO₂ gas was released for a longer time. Therefore, the as-prepared smart sachet can be tuned according to applications and packaging sizes to serve an optimal sterilization effect.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of stem cutting ages and harvest time on the growth and yield of potato 'Dejima' in aeroponics. The stem cuttings were produced from in vitro plantlets and transplanted into an aeroponic system with 20, 30, 40 and 50 day-old stem cuttings (DOS). Tubers were harvested 60, 70, 80 and 90 days after transplanting (DAT) and sorted into following categories: $1{\sim}5$, $5{\sim}10$, $10{\sim}20$, $20{\sim}30$, $30{\sim}40$ and over 40 g. Plant height from the 40 DOS was the highest during the growing periods but no significant difference was observed on 75 DAT. The tuber weight increased until 90 DAT with the greatest weight of tubers in the 20 and 40 DOS. However, there was no significant difference among 20, 30 and 40 DOS in the number and weight of tubers. Harvesting at 80 and 90 DAT increased the number of tubers over 5 g, which are usually considered as appropriate for direct field planting.

This paper aimed to suggest decision-making method for forest management planning using integer programming. Thus, the study examined 85 stands consisting of Korean pine, Japanese larch and oak stands-all of which were at the most suitable time for tending, selection thinning, commercial thinning and final cutting-in the experimental forest of Kangwon National University. The forest management model comprised one objective function, maximizing harvest volume in each stand according to tree species and the kinds of practices, and seven constraints: frequency and stands of practices, minimum and maximum yields, even yields, maximum production, and decision-making varialbes. Besides, the entire period intended by the study was 10 years, divided into 5 management periods. In conclusion, the forest management planning model using integer programming proved that among 85 stands, forest practices were conducted over 68 stands (202.8 ha), producing the total harveted volume of $20,000m^3$, while the rest was reserved. This case study could help make decisions on whether and when the forest practices and harvests could be done in a specific condition.
