This study was conducted from 1991 to 1993 to develop a fungicidal spray program for the apples exportable to the United States of America, in which quarantine and pesticide residue in agricultural products are strictly regulated. In 1991, 2 spray schedules were applied to an orchard, in one of which the 7 fungicides registered for apple both in Korea and U.S. were used, and in the other of which the Bordeaux mixture for which the tolerance was exempted in U.S. was used 2 times along with those 7 fungicides. The apple white rot and fruit infection by Alternaria mali were not effectively controlled by the 7 fungicides alone; however, the control efficacy was raised by adding the Bordeaux mixture to the spray schedule. In 1992, 4 spray schedules were applied in which the kinds of fungicides and spray intervals were different one another. The results suggested that an effective spray program can be developed by adopting the Bordeaux mixture for 3 times or adopting the imminoctadine-triacetate which has not tolerance level in U.S. for same times in the vulnerable stage of apple white rot and alternaria blotch. In spite of the high efficacies against major apple diseases, the Bordeaux mixture could not be recommended to the apple growers due to the various defects such as restrictions in compatibility with insecticides and acaricides, troublesomeness in preparation and spray, especially the harmful effect on the finish of Fuji apples. In 1993, a spray program adopting 3 times of imminoctadine-triacetate during the growing season of apple was developed, which not only can effectively control the major apple diseases but also avoid the pesticide residue problems if it was sprayed 2 or 3 times after bagging. On the basis of the 3 years results, a basic fungicide spray program was formulated in which 1~3 times of imminoctadine-triacetate and 1~2 times of bitertanol were adopted in addition of the 7 common fungicides registered in both countries. In the results of application of the spray schedule to the actual farming in the 4 areas of Kyungpook Province in 1994, no noticeable defects were detected at the first year trial. However, this spray program will be continuously evaluated and modified to obtain better control efficacies against major apple diseases.

한국 노인의 중요 문제 중 하나는 빈곤의 여성화다. 한국 여성의 빈곤 경험에 대해서는 다수의 선행연구가 존재하지만 재미 한인 여성노인의 빈곤 경험에 대해서는 거의 알려진 바가 없다. 따라서 본 연구는 미국으로 이주한 한인 여성노인들의 빈곤 경험을 살펴보고 그러한 경험을 맥락적으로 이해하는데 목적이 있다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 질적 사례연구 방법을 사용하였다. 캘리포니아주 오클랜드시에 거주하는, 미국 연방정부로부터 생활보조금(SSI)을 지원받는 한인 노인 중 미국 거주 10년이상, 65세 이상, 여성노인, 자녀와 비동거 중인 3명의 연구참여자를 선정하였다. 자료는 각 참여자 당 총 6회의 면담을 실시해 수집하였으며 연구자가 참여자에게 동의서를 직접 읽어주고 동의서에 자필로 서명을 받았다. 분석과 해석은 면담 전사본을 수차례 반복해서 읽는 것으로 시작하여, 반복적으로 나타나는 키워드를 재미 한인 여성노인들의 경험의 측면에서 시간, 공간, 사람들과의 관계를 중심으로 맥락적으로 이해하고자 했다. 재미 한인 여성노인의 빈곤화 경험에 관한 맥락적 이해로 모국에서의 빈곤 연장, 여성 이민자라는 이중고, 노화와 질병으로 인한 노동의 제한 세 가지 차원으로 해석되었다. 미국 이주 이전의 삶도 농사로 생계를 이어가는 어려운 살림살이 였고 남편과의 사별로 생계부양노동을 짊어졌던 빈곤한 삶이었는데 이주 이후에도 빈곤한 삶은 이어졌다. 낮은 교육수준과 특별한 기술이 없는 여성이민자로서 산업화된 미국에서 노동시장 주변부에 편입되어 낮은 임금으로 생계를 이어나갈 수밖에 없었다. 이주 당시 이미 노년기에 접어들었던 재미 한인 여성노인들은 노화와 질병으로 인해 주변부 노동시장으로 돌아갈 수도 없었고 정부 생활보조금에 의지하는 빈곤한 삶을 이어가고 있었다. 이러한 연구결과로부터 재미 한인 여성노인의 삶의 질을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안으로 한인 커뮤니티의 역할에 대해 논의했다.

Environment-friendly growth enhancers for rice are being promoted to reverse the negative impact of intensive chemical-based and conventional rice farming on yield sustainability and environmental problems. Several rhizosphere microorganisms and pyroligneous acids (PA) had demonstrated beneficial influence on growth, yield and grain quality of rice. Since most of the previous study had evaluated the effect of PGPR and PA on paddy rice singly, the effect of combined application of these on the growth and yield of paddy rice and on some soil chemical properties were determined. A four factorial pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of PGPR, PA in combination with fertilizers and on different soil types. There were 54 treatment combinations including the control with three replications under complete randomized design. Plant growth parameters were evaluated using standard procedures during tillering and heading stages. Rice yield and some soil chemical properties were determined at harvest. Results showed that inoculation of Bacillus licheniformis and Fusarium fujikuroi enhanced plant growth by increasing the plant height which could be ascribe to its ability to promote IAA and GA production in plants. Inoculation of Rhizobium phaseoli enhanced chlorophyll content indicative to its ability to improve the N nutrition. However, these plant growth benefits during the vegetative stage were override by the fertilizer application effect especially during the maturity stage and grain yield. High fertilization rates on coarse-textured soil without nutrient loss resulted to high available nutrients and consequently high yield. Wood vinegar application however improved nutrient availability in soil which could be beneficial for improving soil quality. Further evaluation is necessary to fully assess the potential benefits that could be derived from inoculation of these organisms and wood vinegar application in different soil environment especially under different field conditions.

The objectives of this study is to examine efficiency of swinery wastewater treatment by trickling filters' pilot plant. The results of this study are as follows: 1. The characteristics of sample. The BOD$_5$ was from 2,450 to 2,880mg/l, COD(KMnO$_4$ acid method) was from 910 to 1,064mg/l, and SS was from 920 to 990mg/l. The pH of influent was from 7.3 to 7.6, and the temperature of water was from 17.0$\circ$C to 22.5$\circ$C. 2. For experiment by recirculation, the BODs removal efficiency is 65.2% at recirculation ratio (r)=0, and 70.7% at r=1. The ramoval efficiency of this study is higher than NRC formula of U.S.A.. The recirculation is not significant effect on removal efficiency. 3. For experiment by hydraulic load, the BOD$_5$ removal rate decreased from 73.1% at $3.1m^3/m^2\cdot d$ to 65.3% at $9.2m^3/m^2\cdot d$. The design formula of this study which shows the removal rate of soluble BOD is $Le/Li =10^{-0.24} D/Q^{0.24}$ (Q: hydraulic load, D: depth of filter). 4. For experiment by organic load, the BOD$_5$ removal rate is increased from 70.2% at $0.77kg/m^3\cdot d$ to 75.4% at $4.28kg/m^3\cdot d$. We can obtain the straight line y=0.749 x (y: removed BOD, x :applied BOD) by the least squares method. 5. We can know that trickling filters is strong with the hydraulic load and the organic matter shock load. Here, we can judge that trickling filters is a good method for the treatment of swinery wastewater which containing high concentrated organic matter.

The quality and quantity of live food sources strongly influence the success of fish production in farming operations. Thus, critical studies of live forage species are a crucial element for progress in fish aquaculture. The fat content of food is an especially important determinant of growth in marine fish. Omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) are essential components of diet that determine the nutritional value of larval fish. Euglena is a protist that has potential as a forage species. These single-celled organisms have plant and animal characteristics they are motile, elliptical in shape and 15–500 μm in diameter. Their nutritional content is excellent, but most studies have focused on cells raised in autotrophic culture. We therefore examined differences in the lipid and fatty acid contents, and the growth of Euglena cells grown under autotrophic, heterotrophic, and mixotrophic conditions. Biomass production reached 15.03 g/L, 12.28 g/L, and 3.66 g/L under mixotrophy, heterotrophy, and autotrophy, respectively. The proportional n-3 HUFA content differed among culture methods: 10.04%, 5.80% and 10.01% in mixotrophic, heterotrophic and autotrophic cultures, respectively. Mixotrophy was to be the best form of cultivation for improving the growth and nutritional content of Euglena.

This study is aimed at giving the basic information for individual farm households to make decisions for optimizing their farm sizes and for the government to implement farm size optimization policies through the identification of combinations among rice production factors in plain areas like Cheolwon district and the suggestion of the optimal farm sizes of individual farmers based on the scale of economy calculated. The data of agricultural production costs of 50 rice farmers in the plain area which is located in Dongsong-eup Cholwon district, Kangwon province were used in the analysis. The 'translog' cost function among various methods which is a flexible function type was adopted to calculate the scale of economy in rice production. Seemingly unrelated regression(SUR) method was used in forecasting functions and processing other statistics by SHAZAM which is one of the computer aid program for quantitative econometric analysis. In conclusion, the long-run average cost(LAC) curve showed 'U-shape' which was different from 'L-type' one which was shown in the previous studies by others. The lowest point of the LAC was 9.764ha and the concerned production cost amounted to 633 Won/kg. Based on these results, it have to be suggested that around 10 ha of paddy is the target size for policy assistances to save costs under the present level of farming practices and technology. The above results show that the rice production costs could be saved up to 10ha in Cheolwon plain area which is a typical paddy field. However, land use, land condition, land ownership and manager's ability which may affect scale of economy should be considered. Furthermore, reasonable management will have to be realized by means of labor saving technology and cost saving management skill like enlargement of farm size of rice.

Green manure crops play an important role in organic farming. Field experiment was conducted at paddy soil (fine loamy, mixed, nonacid, mesic family of Aeric Fluvaquentic Endoquepts) in 2008/2009 to 2009/2010 at the National Institute of Crop Science (NICS), RDA, Suwon, Gyeonggi province, Korea. This experiment was carried out to evaluate the biomass of hairy vetch (Vicia villosa) and growth of rice (Oryza sativa) by different seeding rates. Seeding rates of hairy vetch consisted of 30, 60, and 90 kg $ha^{-1}$ by broadcasting before rice harvesting. The biomass and nitrogen production of hairy vetch were not significantly different between 60 kg $ha^{-1}$ and 90 kg $ha^{-1}$ of seedinq rates. Also, rice yield was not significantly different between seeding rate 60 kg $ha^{-1}$ of hairy vetch and conventional practice for two years. Therefore, we suggested that seeding rate of hairy vetch should be reduced by continuous cropping and incorporation of hairy vetch under rice-based cropping system.

In this study, a total of 350 households contained 700 individuals in Iganzo village were surveyed to study their literate and poverty levels and their impacts to conservation of the Mbeya Range Forest Reserve. The study included 350 women and 350 men. The majority of respondents were between the ages of 31-40 years old (53%), while the rest were between 41-50 years old (25%) and 21-30 years old (22%). The total income per day per household was calculated and averaged to 4,570 Tanzanian shillings that is equal to about 3 U.S. dollars. The average number of members per household was seven. It was reported that, there is a tremendous decrease in biodiversity composition of the reserve mainly due to poverty (80%) and ignorance (76%) of the people on the importance of the reserve. Other causes for this decrease were reported to be grazing of livestock in the reserve (23%), poor farming systems (68%), which resulted in soil erosion, encroachment (64%) through expansion of farms towards the reserve boundary and charcoal burning (34%). Respondents from Mbeya Urban Water Supply Authority and District Forest Office mentioned lack of funds (49%) and lack of experts (56%) as challenges that face the conservation of the reserve. It was revealed that 25% of respondents had never gone to school, 53% had primary level of education as their highest level of education, 20% had secondary education and 2% had first degree. The null hypothesis that poverty and illiteracy have a positive correlation to forest degradation was accepted based on these findings at a probability of p>0.85. Thus, it was concluded that poverty and illiteracy among Iganzo village residents are the main causes for the degradation of biodiversity in Mbeya Range Forest Reserve.
