The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of ripe fruit based on harvest date and to examine the ripening phase of 'Seolhyang' strawberry suitable for room temperature, cold-chain, and low temperature distribution. The strawberries were harvested six times between December 20 to May 9. The appropriate maturity of strawberries is characterized by the firmness of approximately 2.9-3.0 N, and SSC remained above 8.6 °Brix until March and declined after April. The quality index values that determine the maturity stage of strawberries should be red color, Hunter a value ranging from 32 to 37, and hue angle of 36-45℃. For the after-ripening experiment, the progression rate of the ripening stage determined based on strawberry color was 10%/day at room temperature, 5%/day at 10-12℃, and 3%/day at 5℃. Thus, strawberries should be harvested at 80% coloring stage for distribution at room temperature and at least 90% for low temperature storage to maintain the merchantability. Besides, strawberries harvested at 70% coloring stage at room temperature and strawberries harvested below 80% coloring stage at low temperatures below 5℃ had lost commercial value before reaching 100% coloring stage.

This study was performed to investigate the enrichment of resveratrol content in harvested grapes using the modulation of cell metabolism with ultra-violet (UV) irradiation. Resveratrol, a phytoalexin, is produced by stilbene synthase (STSY) from malonyl-CoA and ${\rho}$-coumaroyl-CoA. Its biosynthesis has been reported to be induced by UV and other environmental factors. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis showed that STSY Promoter 1 in grapes was very highly expressed by treatment with UV. Grapes were harvested and treated for post-harvest induction of STSY gene expression with UV, and then their resveratrol content was analyzed. UV treatment for 5 minutes provided the best condition for the induction of STSY gene expression. When harvested Gerbong and MBA grapes were treated with a prototype UV radiator, their resveratrol content was enriched upto 5 times compared with untreated grapes. These results suggest that a post-harvest UV treatment can be applied to enrich resveratrol content in grapes and add value to them.

Modern society is characterized by rapid increase in world population, aging of the rural population, decrease of cultivation area due to industrialization. The food problem is becoming an important issue with the farmers and becomes rural. Recently, the researches about the field of the smart farm are actively carried out to increase the profit of the rural area. The existing smart farm researches mainly monitor the cultivation environment of the crops in the greenhouse, another way like in the case of poor quality t is being studied that the system to control cultivation environmental factors is automatically activated to keep the cultivation environment of crops in optimum conditions. The researches focus on the crops cultivated indoors, and there are not many studies applied to the cultivation environment of crops grown outside. In this paper, we propose a method to improve the harvestability of poor areas by monitoring the areas with bad harvests by using big data analysis, by precisely predicting the harvest timing of fruit trees growing in orchards. Factors besides for harvesting include fruit color information and fruit weight information We suggest that a harvest correlation factor data collected in real time. It is analyzed using the Apache Spark engine. The Apache Spark engine has excellent performance in real-time data analysis as well as high capacity batch data analysis. User device receiving service supports PC user and smartphone users. A sensing data receiving device purpose Arduino, because it requires only simple processing to receive a sensed data and transmit it to the server. It regulates a harvest time of fruit which produces a good quality fruit, it is needful to determine a poor harvest area or concentrate a bad area. In this paper, we also present an architectural model to determine the bad areas of fruit harvest using strong data analysis.

This research was conducted to investigate effect the plant growth regulators (PGRs) on the characteristics of fruit and flesh softening, using GA3 and thidiazuron (TDZ) treatments in 'Heukboseok' grapes. The total yield obtained under PGR treatment was 88.3% lower than the target production when a single treatment with $GA_3$ of low concentrations was used, but the expected yield was recovered by combined treatment with TDZ and $GA_3$. When harvested on the basis of color, the harvest rate up to 100 days after full bloom (DAFB) was low with the $GA_3$ single treatment, but was increased by the addition of TDZ, with the second TDZ mixed treatment being particularly effective. The soluble solids content in the PGR-treated samples demonstrated no significant changes after 90 DAFB, while the acidity content decreased rapidly starting from 90 DAFB. Measured on the basis of sugar and acidity content, maturity was reached much earlier in treated fruit than in the non-treated fruit. Firmness was maintained at a higher level until the final harvest time after PGR treatment compared to untreated grapes according to epidermis thickness and flesh density increase to activity cell division and expansion by $GA_3$ and TDZ. In particular, the fruit quality was improved based on the delay of softening in primary and secondary treatments of $25mg{\cdot}L^{-1}\;GA_3+2.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ TDZ. The production of seedless fruit was difficult, even with the inclusion of TDZ, reaching the highest seedless rate of only 65.5%. Fruit cracking was rare, occurring at a rate of about 0.0~0.9% in all treatments. Accordingly, 'Heukboseok' grapes should be harvested within 100 days after full bloom (DBFB) before a rapid decrease of firmness, conferred by primary and secondary treatments with $25mg{\cdot}L^{-1}\;GA_3+2.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ TDZ.

We conducted an on-site application study at the livestock cooperative fertilizer plant to compare the composting period, temperature change, moisture content, and chemical properties between livestock manure compost using sawdust as a moisture regulator with those using spent oyster mushroom substrate. The composting period, moisture content, and fertilizer composition of compost containing spent oyster mushroom substrate did not differ from that of conventional compost mixed with sawdust after the first and second fermentation and post-maturation stages, it was suitable as a material for manufacturing livestock manure compost. The spent oyster mushroom substrate also lower the production cost of livestock manure compost by replacing the more expensive sawdust. The developed technology is expected to contribute towards the utilization of by-products of the oyster mushroom harvest while simultaneously producing high quality livestock manure compost.

Garlic was stored at 4, 8, and $12^{\circ}C$ to investigate the development of green discoloration. Green discoloration developed after 7 day of storage ar $4^{\circ}C$, while it developed after 15 day of storage at 8 and $12^{\circ}C$. The effect of maleic hydrazide fertilization on green discoloration of garlic was not observed. Green discoloration of garlic was accelerated by gamma-radiation treatment. The addition of cysteine did not prevent green discoloration, which decreased the commercial value of the garlic due to the presence of white specks on the surface. When 3% ascorbic acid was added to the garlic, green discoloration developed in 6 and 24 hr at room temperature and $4^{\circ}C$, respectively. The tendency of garlic to discolor was also investigated at various storage temperatures. Discolored garlic stored for 30 day at low temperatures was conditioned at $20{\sim}45^{\circ}C$ for 20 day. The green discoloration of garlic conditioned at 20 and $25^{\circ}C$ did not disappear in 20 day, but disappeared in 20 day when conditioned at $30^{\circ}C$. The L, a, and b values of garlic conditioned at 35, 40, and $45^{\circ}C$ for 4 day were similar to those of normal garlic. Conclusively, our results indicated that the best method for suppressing green discoloration was conditioning discolored garlic at $35^{\circ}C$ for 4 day.

신선 과일, 채소 편의식품의 주요 특징으로는 박피, 절단 등에 의한 식물조직의 손상, 최소가공에 따른 제품의 불확실한 미생물 안전성, 식물 조직의 활발한 물질대사, 제품 종류의 제한 등을 들 수 있다. 따라서 이들 제품에서는 미생물이 증식하기 쉬우나 실제 미생물의 거동은 식물조직의 대사에 의해 영향을 받으며, 또한 생체의 호흡과 필름 포장재의 기체투과도에 의해 좌우되는 포장내부 환경기체에도 영향을 받는다. 수확후 감염은 과일, 채소와같은 원료 농산물의 주요 손실요인으로(Harvey, 1978;Lund, 1983) 신선 과채류 편의식품의 경우 절단면의 노출과 포장내부의 고수분 함량 등에 의해 미생물 감염의 위험은 더욱 더 증가할 수 있다. 특히 대부분의 신선 편의식품이 어떠한 가열처리도 없이 그대로 이용되므로 식품유래 병원균의 오염과 저장중 이들의 증식은 각별한 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 이에 본고에서는 현재 과채류 편의식품에 주로 사용되고 있는 미생물 오염 방지 또는 조절 방법에대해 설명하고 이의 적용과 관련한 주의사항을 살펴보고자 한다.

This research was conducted to elucidate the appropriate light environment right after grafting to produce vigorous cherry tomato seedlings. Tomato plants were grafted and then treated in 4 different ways: to keep in the natural light (Non), to cover the grafted stem part with aluminum foil to make only that part dark (Part), to put the grafted seedlings in the acclimation room for two (Day-2) or four days (Day-4) to make the whole seedlings in the dark condition. Tube grafting method was used for grafting, in which silicon tube of 1.5mm in diameter was used. The survival rate was the maximum in the treatment Day-2. The SPAD value, seedling quality and yield of $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ cluster were the best in the treatment Part. The treatment Part needs cost more than other treatments but is more economic thanks to higher yield. Therefore it was concluded to be economically feasible to make the grafted stem part dark right after grafting in case of cherry tomato.
