This study was conducted to investigate inorganic nutrient contents in spur leaf and shoot leaf of 'Niitaka' pear during the growing season and leaf inorganic nutrient contents as influenced by meteorological elements. The contents of N, P, K, and Mg were decreased in spur leaf during their vegetative growth, while Ca and Mn increased. The contents of N, P, K, Mg, and Fe showed no differences between spur leaf and shoot leaf. However Ca, Mn, Zn, and Cu contents were higher in spur leaf than those in shoot leaf, but B content was lower in spur leaf than those in shoot leaf. The content of N in shoot leaf was positively correlated with mean temperature, whereas negatively correlated with maximum temperature. The content of P in spur leaf was negatively correlated with maximum temperature. The content of Ca in spur leaf was negatively correlated with mean temperature, whereas positively correlated with maximum and minimum temperature. The contents of Mg and B in shoot and spur leaf were positively correlated with mean temperature, whereas negatively correlated with maximum and minimum temperature. The contents of Ca and Mn showed significant differences between spur leaf and shoot leaf at mid-July to early August. These results suggest that sampling is important to distinguish between spur leaf and shoot leaf for diagnosis of nutrient conditions in pear trees.

Soybeans were soaked in water for 3 hrs and germinated at $25^{\circ}C$ for 5 days followed by hot water extraction and boilding for 30 min. The prepared soymilk was analyzed for chemical composition, phytic acid and soluble minerals. Germination resulted in a slow decrease in total solids while protein recovery increased to a maximum of 92.5% after 2 days. Carbohydrate content was reduced to 65% by the 5th day of germination. The intial phytic acid content in soymilk of 1.26g recovered from 100g dry soybean was decreased by 41.3% while inorganic phosphorus increased more than four times from 31.3mg to 135.0mg. Total soluble minerals was also steadily increased.

Correlations of soil and leaf nutrients and growth of young 'Enterprise' apple (Malus ${\times}$ domestica Borkh.) trees were analyzed with tree damage, such as Japanese beetle (JB; Popillia japonica Newman)-damaged leaves, vole damage to trunk, tree mortality, and weed density in a certified organic orchard in warm and humid environment of Southern USA. Interaction treatments of four mulch and three fertilizers were applied around trees as follows: mow-and-blow (MB), shredded paper (SP), wood chips (WC), and green compost (GC) as a mulch, with no fertilizer (NF), poultry litter (PL), and commercial organic fertilizer (CF) as a fertilizer applied in April. Vole damage to trunk and weed density were little correlated with mineral nutrients and tree growth. JB-damaged leaves were highly stimulated to 26.5% in GC-treated plots while tree mortality were increased by MB treatments. Biomass production per tree was approximately 3,700 g on the WC- and GC-treated plots, which was two times higher than those values observed on the other two mulch plots. JB-damaged leaves tended to get worse when nutrients in soil and leaf increased through the correlation analysis, with a strong positive relationship ($r^2=0.585$) observed between JB-damaged leaves and trunk cross sectional area, a vegetative indicator. Tree mortality was more negatively associated with nutrient contents and growth of trees than those of soil nutrients. Wood chips was considered for a local organic mulch materials to increase organic matter contents and to produce healthy young trees in Southern USA, with control insect, such as beetle, and vole density in an orchard habitat.

The goal of this study was to investigate change of thermal decomposition feature of miscanthus (Miscanthus sacchariflorus) after removal of inorganic constituents using distilled water (D.I-w; 30, 60 and $90^{\circ}C$). The carbon content was increased whereas the oxygen content was decreased with the temperature of D.I-w treatment. Moreover, ash content was slightly decreased from 4.6% of control to 3.2% of $90^{\circ}C$ D.I-w treated sample. Results of total monomeric sugar contents and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that structural changes of cellulose/hemicellulose regions did not occurr during D.I-w treatment. Results of inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer (ICP-ES) showed that miscanthus has the largest amount of inorganic constituents such as potassium (5,644 ppm), phosphorus (3,995 ppm), magnesium (1,403 ppm) and calcium (711 ppm). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed that the yield of char slightly decreased whereas the yield of volatiles increased with increasing D.I-w treatment temperature. In addition, differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTGA) indicated that the maximum decomposition rate ($V_M$) and temperature ($T_M$) corresponding to VM were varied from $0.82%/^{\circ}C$, $360.60^{\circ}C$ of control to $1.17%/^{\circ}C$, $362.62^{\circ}C$ of $90^{\circ}C$-D.I-w treated sample.

To evaluate wood charcoal as raw material for mineral water production, dissolution of inorganic ions from charcoal to water, pH and adsorption ability of chlorine in water were investigated as main variables. More potassium ion was dissolved in water as higher temperature manufactured charcoal but other ions showed no difference with different charcoal making temperatures. Highest dissolved cation was potassium followed by calcium and sodium. Among wood species, charcoal from Quercus variabilis and Platanus occidentalis showed significantly higher potassium content in water than that of larch, red pine and white pine. Other cations had similar pattern to the potassium but their difference was not apparent as much as potassium. pH value of water treated with charcoal was higher for wood charcoals from Platanus occidentalis (pH 8.5) and Quercus variabilis (pH 8.4) which contained higher inorganic cations. In chlorine removal in water by charcoal, all wood charcoals showed greater chlorine removal than that of the control, but softwood charcoals resulted in higher removal than those of hardwoods. There was no significant difference in the dissolution of cations and pHs between particle charcoal and whole charcoal. With easy of control, whole charcoal is better for mineral water making raw material than particle charcoal does.

In order to examine the quality attributes of native-bee honey, proximate composition and mineral components were analysed by atomic absorption spectrometry, ion chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. The analytical results showed that native-bee honey is higher in the contents of crude ash, crude protein and diastase activity than those of foreign-bee honey. The principal mineral components of honey were Ca, Mg, Na, K and Cl, which showed that almost all the mineral components were contained higher in the native-bee honey than the foreign-bee honey samples. When we calculated K/Na ratio, we could make a clear distinction between native-bee honey and foreign-bee honey. The K/Na ratio turned out to be more than 10 in 6 samples of native-bee honey, whereas the ratio of foreign-bee honey showed up less than 1.5 in all 3 samples.

Caposiphon fulvescens was dried by the hot-air (50$^{\circ}C$), vacuum (50$^{\circ}C$), and freeze drying methods. The green alga contained high proportions of carbohydrates (38.10~41.54%), ash (31.86~33.28%), and crude proteins (17.46~23.03%) regardless of the drying methods used to prepare the sample. The total sugar contents of the hot-air and vacuum dried samples were higher than that of the freeze dried sample (p<0.05). Vitamin C content of the freeze dried sample was higher than that of either the hot-air or vacuum dried samples (p<0.05). The major amino acids were glutamic acid, proline, and aspartic acid, which amounted to 33.34~34.80% of the total amino acid content depending on the drying methods used. Total mineral content of either the hot-air or vacuum dried samples was significantly higher than that of the freeze dried sample (p<0.05). Regardless of the drying methods, Na, K, Mg, Ca, and P were the most abundant elements in the samples while trace elements were identified as Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu.
