Effects of air temperature and 50% shading for 20 days at each growth stages (from 33days before heading, from heading and from 20days after heading) on the productivity of Tongil (IR667-Suweon 214) and Jinheung rice (Oriza sativa.) were as follows. 1. Shading decreased yield by 48, 98 and 18% for Tongil and 73.71 and 12% for Jinheung during ear formation, heading and milky stage, respectively. 2. Shading most severely affected filled-grain ratio in both varieties except shading during milky stage of Jinheung that more affected grain weight. 3. Optimum mean air temperature for maximum crop growth rate appears to be $25^{\circ}C$ and clitical temperature $22^{\circ}C$ for Tongil but these for Jinheung seem to be lower. Solar radiation greater than $300cal/cm^2$ day appears to be enough. 4. Maximum crop growth rate of Tongil always advanced that of Jinheung. 5. Tropical Tongil variety appeared to be more tolerant to high temperature and low solar radiation before heading than temperate Jinheung. Thus Tongil will be more productively adapted to the high temperature-low solar radiation period in rice season which mostly overlaps with ear formation stage.

These studies were conducted to verify the effect of the supplementary lighting by reflective film mulching and its establishment in the north side of greenhouse on the utility of light at tomato by means of investigating changes of leaf temperatures, stomatal features, transpiration rates and photosynthetic rates. Stomatal density of leaves were high in the reflective film mulching but sizes of stomata were not different. As the osmotic potential in rooting zone was low, the stomatal resistance was high, transpiration rate was low, and leaf temperature was increased by 40.62$^{\circ}C$. And also in the block of reflective film mulching photosynthetic rates were decreased hut chlorophyll contents were not different. Especially, there is an effect of controlling greenhouse whiteflies by treatment of reflective film mulching. It is thought that the reason of high quality or increasing yield at several crops by supplementary lighting, such as reflective film mulching, would be caused by influences of absorption and distribution of nutrients through high transpiration rate and photosynthesis which resulted from increase of stomata.

This study was carried out to develope new zoysiagrass cultivars 'JangsungChorok' (Application No. :2013-3) and 'JangsungSaetbyeol' (Application No. :2013-4). One hundred and one genetic resources were collected at Jangsung Gun area from 2010 to 2011. Among the collected lines, CY6097 (JangsungChorok) and CY6069 (JangsungSaetbyeol) showed superior performance in spring green up and growth rate. 'JangsungChorok' showed genetically light green leaf color, with medium leaf width (4.4 mm), height from ground to first leaf blade of 3.2 cm and average plant height of 18 cm. Fast recovery rate and early spring green up rate will make this cultivar (JangsungChorok) for efficient sod producer. 'JangsungSaetbyeol' showed genetically dark green leaf color, with fine to medium leaf width of 3.5 mm, height from ground to first leaf blade of 4.3 cm and average plant height of 22.6 cm. Fast recovery rate and early spring green up rate with relatively narrow leaf will make this cultivar (JangsungSaetbyeol) for high sod quality.

In order to measure the deposition velocity of $I_2$ vapor for radish plants and its translocation factor for their roots, radish plants were exposed to $I_2$ vapor for 80 min. at different growth stages between 29 and 53 d after sowing. The exposure was performed in a transparent chamber during the morning time. Deposition velocities ($ms^{-1}$) were on the whole in the range of $1.0{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}2.0{\times}10^{-4}$ showing an increasing tendency with an increase in the biomass density. The results showed some agreement with existing reports that a higher relative humidity would lead to a higher deposition velocity. The acquired deposition velocities were lower than by factors of several tens than some field measurements probably due to a very low wind speed (about $0.2\;ms^{-1}$) in the chamber. Translocation factors (ratio of the total iodine in the roots at harvest to the total plant deposition), estimated in a more or less conservative way, were $1.3{\times}10^{-3}$ for an exposure at 29 d after sowing and $5.0{\times}10^{-3}$ for an exposure at 53 d after sowing. In using the present experimental data, meteorological conditions and chemical and physical forms of iodine need to be carefully considered.

In order to obtain information necessary for attaining maximum yield of rice by increasing nitrogen efficiency, effects of top dressing of nitrogen fertilizer at the later part of growing season were investigated and results obtained are summurized as follows: 1. The increased application of nitrogen fertilizer was very effective in increasing leaf areas and net assimilation rate of rice plants. The spikelets number per hill was also increased due to heavy nitrogen fertilizer. 2. The concentrated top dressing at the later part of plant growth apparently increased the crop growth rate at the reproduction stage and ripening stage of rice, respectively. The nitrogen efficiency was greatly improved by the concentrated top nitrogen dressing through the increase of effective tiller number and the improvement of production organ to non productive organ ratio. 3. The concentrated top nitrogen dressing at the later growing season was considered to be one of the most effective methods of fertilizer applications as well as cultivation of fertilizer resistant varieties for the high yield of rice and improving soil fertility.

Strains of lactic acid bacteria were isolated from a variety of fermented foods collected in Korea. The strain L2167 showed a strong antipathogenic activity against Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. L2167 was identified as Lactobacillus plantarum by sequence analysis of its 16S rRNA gene. Scanning electron microscopy revealed rough and wrinkled morphology of B. cereus, L. monocytogenes, S. Typhimurium, S. aureus, and S. epidermidis cell membranes after treatment with a crude cell extract of L. plantarum L2167, indicating that Lactobacillus plantarum L2167 might destroy the cell membrane of pathogenic bacteria. The optimal temperature and initial medium pH for Lactobacillus plantarum L2167 growth were 35℃ and 5.5, respectively. Lactobacillus plantarum L2167 was more sensitive to NaCl than Lactobacillus plantarum KCTC21004, used as a control strain. Lactobacillus plantarum L2167 is expected to be developed as a prominent starter strain for efficient inhibition of growth of pathogens.

In order to evaluate the feed value of rice straw as influenced by ripening stage, and to determine the effects of chemical treatments and ensiling on its feeding value, in situ studies using a rumen fistulated Korean cow nylon bag technique, and digestion trials with sheep were conducted. Experiments were conducted at the Experimental Farms, Woosuk University, Wanju in 1998. The results obtained are summarized as follows; 1. The contents of crude protein and crude fat were decreased(P<0.05), while those of crude fiber and crude ash were increased as the ripening of rice straw progressed. The content of NDF was not affected by the ripening stage. After the yellow stage hemicellulose was remarkably decreased while cellulose and lignin were increased. 2. Degradation of rice straw NDF in the rumen was most rapid when at the heading stage, but degradation of straws after the milky stage were similar each other. Degradation of rice straw ADF, on the other hand, did not show any difference with advancing ripening stage. In Conclusion, the change of chemical composition and degradation rate of rice straw in the rumen under the different ripening stage, it can be concluded that the lignification of rice straw was accelerated after the heading stage.

Rhizobium japonicum isolates from all around Korea could be classified into two groups, i.e., acid producing fast-growers with 2.4 hour mean generation time and non-acid producing slow-growers in yeast extract-mannitol medium with 13.1 hour mean generation time. Tested fast-growers were higher in 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activity than slow-growers were and used sucrose as carbon source whereas slow-growers did not. Fast-grower R4, R257, R278, showed tolerance even in 0.5M NaCl or above and the growth of all the strains tested were inhibited at below pH 4.5. Relative symbiotic activities of nitrogen fixation for these isolated with Glycine max cv. Jangyeobkong (commercial soybean cultivar mostly cultivated in Korea) ranged 0.1 to 2.0 comparing to that of R. japonicum L-259 (NRRL), without regard to their growth rate.

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of recycled paper mulch on weed occurrence and the growth and yield of rice in dry-seeded paddy field. Mulch papers with basis weight of 105, 110, 115g/$m^2$ were fabricated from recycled corrugate container. It took about 80 days after mulching for the mulch papers to reach 50% decomposition, showing no significant differences among types of mulch paper. Paper mulching was very effective in controlling the paddy weeds at early stage of rice growth, but the efficacy of weeds control decreased a little at late season. However the efficacy was still higher than the plot using herbicide. The paper mulch plot showed rice yield similar to the weed control plot using herbicide. It could be concluded that paper mulch can be used as an alternative for non-herbicidal weed control and ensure as high yield as the conventional weed control method using herbicide in dry-seeded rice field.
