In order to analyze the effects of percolation rate on the growth and yield of rice plants in paddy soils, pot (1a/2000) experiments were carried out. The soil used was highly concentrated with various salts in the horticulture area under vinyl house cultivation, and Samgang variety of Japanica rice was planted. With the increasing rates of percolation, $SiO_2$ and $Ca^{2+}$ were more leached out from soils than supplied by irrigation while $K^+$ and $NH_4{^+}$ were more supplied to soils than leached out. The root activity in the late growth stage was higher in the percolation pots than in the non-percolation pots. Amounts of nutrient uptake of T-N, $P_2O_5$, $K_2O$ and MgO were increased gradually with the increase of percolation rate, but that of $SiO_2$ was maximum at 10mm per day. The percolation rate of 5~10mm per day was considered to be the optimum condition for obtaining more than 95% of relative yield in rice cultivation.

The run-off experiment plots had been established for eight sets of plot comprising four treatments with two replications on $20^{\circ}$ slope land having the Wait-A-Bit Clay soil(locally known), at the Olive River Soil Conservation Centre, Trelawny in Jamaica. The location of plots was about 820 metres m.s.l. and sloped north-west. Each plot size was determined as $40m^2$ having 2.7 m wide and 15.8 m long along slope. All of the run-off soil and water were collected by using the receiving tanks through the collection troughs and conveyance pipes. These run-off materials were measured and sampled, dried and computed for determination of the soil loss from each treatment of plots. During the first period of experiment for about 10 month which was one crop-year cycle of yam crop, total amount of 1,295 mm rainfall received. The heaviest daily rainfall was recorded as 116.2 mm on August 5 followed by 100.4 mm on August 6, 1980. The soil sediment had been collected and analysed for eleven times during this experiment. Total amounts of soil sediment as over-dried weight by the treatment plot were estimated as 182 ton/ha from treatment I, 105 tons/ha from treatment II, 50 tons/ha from treatment III, 43 tons/ha from treatment IV respectively. It is recommendable at present that the treatment III and IV measure which treated with contour mounds with the hillside ditch and grass buffer strip should be adopt4ed for hillside farming particularly with yam cultivation in Jamaica.

천마(Gastrodia elata)는 연중생산을 위해 실내시설 재배 시 생육모델을 구죽하고, 생육단계에 따른 온도, 수분, $CO_2$ 등 환경 조건 설정이 필요하다. 본 연구는 천마의 생육단계 중 괴경형성기와 괴경비대기의 수분함량을 설정하여 최적의 환경조건을 찾기 위해 수행하였다. 먼저 괴경형성기 수분함량 공급은 괴경형성기에 -20kPa, -30kPa, -40kPa로 처리하여 120일간 배양한 뒤, 괴경비대기를 -40kPa로 고정하여 60일간 배양하였다. 반면, 괴경비대기 수분함량 공급은 괴경형성기를 -30kPa로 고정하여 120일간 배양한 뒤 괴경비대기에 -20kPa, -30kPa, -40kPa, -50kPa로 처리하여 60일간 배양하였다. Tensiometer(토양수분장력계)기를 설치하여 수분을 공급하였고, FDR센서 (UbiMas, CoCo sensor, Frequency domain reflectometry type)를 배양토의 깊이 5 cm와 15 cm에 2개를 설치하여 평균값으로 수분함량을 측정하였으며, 전체수량, 성마율, 종마율 등을 조사하였다. FDR센서로 수분함량을 측정한 결과, -20 kPa은 43.3%, -30 kPa은 34.7%, -40 kPa은 29.8%, -50 kPa은 25.3%로 측정되었다. 괴경형성기 수분함량 처리 후 수확기의 상자 당 전체수량은 -30 kPa일 때 985 g으로 가장 많았고, -40 kPa일 때 912 g, -20 kPa일 때 703 g으로 처리간의 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 성마율은 수분함량처리별 각각 25, 34, 30% 이었고, 종마율은 수분함량처리별 각각 53, 73, 65%로 나타났다. 따라서 -30 kPa 처리구가 다른 처리구에 비해 전체수량, 성마율, 종마율 등이 유의적으로 우수하였다. 괴경비대기 수분 함량 처리 후 수확기의 상자 당 전체수량은 -40 kPa일 때 992 g으로 가장 많았고, -50 kPa일 때 955 g, -30 kPa일 때 903 g, -20 kPa일 때 686 g 순으로 나타났다. -30 kPa에서 -50 kPa 사이에서는 전체 수량의 유의성 차이는 없었다. 성마율은 수분함량처리별 각각 20, 30, 35, 33%이었고, 종마율은 수분함량처리별 각각 45, 65, 75, 68%로 나타났다. 따라서 -40 kPa 처리구가 다른 처리구에 비해 전체수량, 성마율, 종마율 등이 유의적으로 우수하였다. 반면 -20 kPa 처리구는 과도한 수분으로 천마가 오히려 부패될 수 있는 환경조건이 조성됨에 따라 성마율, 종마율 등 전체적인 수량 감소에 영향을 미친 것으로 판단되었다.

환경부 하수재이용사업은 2007년도 하수도법 개정을 통해 공공하수처리시설 처리수의 재이용 의무화를 시작으로 2010년도 "물의 재이용 촉진 및 지원에 관한 법률"의 시행으로 전국적으로 사업이 확대되고 있다. 제주도 월정하수처리장은 2009년도 하수재이용사업지구로 선정이 되어 2010년도부터 농업용목적의 재이용으로 구체적인 설계와 시공이 추진되고 있는 사업지구이다. 제주도에서는 지하수보존을 위해 대체수자원 개발 방안을 시급히 마련중에 있다. 특히, 제주도 농업용수 종합계획수립(제주도, 2004)에는 하수처리수를 농업용수로 이용하기 위한 계획을 수립할 정도로 지하수 사용량을 줄이기 위한 노력을 진행중에 있으며, 그 일환으로 하수재이용사업을 지속적으로 추진하고 있다. 하수처리수의 농업용수 재이용은 사용된 물을 재이용함으로써 물과 에너지를 절약할 수 있고, 유역 또는 해양으로 배출되는 오염원을 억제하는 장점이 있는 반면에 농산물 생육에 직접 영향을 줄뿐만 아니라 주변의 수질 생태 토양 환경 및 영농인의 보건에도 영향을 주기 때문에 장기적인 관찰과 검증작업이 필요하다. 이 에 서울대와 한국농어촌공사는 안전한 농업용수 재이용기술을 개발하기 위해 장기간 현장시험을 통해 재이용 재배기술과 함께 보건환경에 미치는 영향을 검증하였고 그 개발기술을 월정사업지구에 적용하게 되었다. 월정하수처리장이 위치한 제주 동부의 월정지역은 농지면적이 밭(374ha)과 과수(12ha)등 제주도의 전형적인 농촌마을으로 주요 재배작물은 마늘과 당근, 쪽파, 콩 등으로서 농업기반시설의 미비로 영농에 어려움을 호소하고 있으며, 2006년도에 발생한 가뭄으로 그 해 평균 수학량의 30%가 감소된 바 있는 지역이다. 제주도 농업용수 종합계획수립(2004, 제주도)에서는 10년에 한발을 기준 으로 $43,000m^3$/일의 용수가 부족할 것으로 분석하였으며 최근 $35,000m^3$/day 규모의 상수도 확보사업 계획 수립하였으나 여전히 농업용수가 부족하다. 방류수의 수질은 방류수수질기준을 만족하지만 염분함량이 높아 직접 농업용으로 사용하기에는 적당하기 않고, 농업용재이용방류수 수질기준에 맞도록 재이용시스템을 통해 재처리하여 농업용수로 사용해야 한다. 제주도에서는 이미 제주 서부하수처리장 농업용수 재이용사업(이하 판포재이용사업)'이 완료되어 재이용수를 농업용수로 공급하고 있으며 향후 지속적으로 하수재이용사업이 확대될 것으로 판단된다.

In the greenhouse fields for fruits and vegetables during the winter in Korea, there are serious damages by the sclerotium diseases due to the low temperature and humidity. This study was carried out to select an antagonic agent for the biological control of the sclerotium diseases. The 55 antagonic agents were selected from the rhizosphere in soil where the fruits and vegetables were cultivated in the green house fields, and strain AB02 among the tested isolates was estimated to be the strongest antagonist against the sclerotium disease. Using strain AB02, the antifungal spectrum was tested against 5 different plant pathogens. According to the results of the test, strain AB02 . showed the high antagonistic effect against Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. For the experiment of biological control against the sclerotium disease, it was estimated the suppression effect and the control effect by the strain in the pot experiment using the green perilla. According to the result of the pot experiments, the suppression effect was 40% and the control effect was 62%, respectively. For the stimulation effect of the tested plant growth by strain AB02 compared to the control, it was improved as 120% for the total length, 141% for the liveweight, 121% for the total number of leaves, 185% for the leaf area, and 327% for the liveweight of the root, respectively. Strain AB02 showing the antagonistic effect against the sclerotium disease and the stimulation effect for the plant growth was identified as Bacillus sp.

This study was conducted to investigate how maize (Zea maize L.) growth and yield were affected by irrigation and fertigation using a subsurface drip system. The system consisted of a buried (40 cm underground) drip pipe that can be used in a semi-permanent manner without affecting agricultural work on the ground. The amount of water required for the fertigation treatment was determined to be 24.3 tons 10a^-1 for the sandy loam soil used in this experimental field. Fertigation treatments based on the previously calculated 24.3 tons 10a^-1 were carried out as topdressing applications. They were applied through the subsurface drip system with the following fertilizer concentration (nitrogen only, written in kg 10a^-1: N 4, N 6, N 8, N 10 ). The other treatments were irrigation only and control (non-treatment). The results indicated that the N 8 treatment was the most effective, increasing yield by 30% and 14% compared with the control and irrigation treatments, respectively. These results highlight the effectiveness of fertigation (N 8 kg 10a^-1) at V6 and R1 stage as a form of topdressing fertilization using a subsurface drip system for achieving a high yield and stable maize production.

This research was conducted to determine the effect of soil pH change followed by leaching with ground water on crop growth, yield and nutrient uptake of strawberry. Treatments were leaching with ground water (A), hydrated lime application of dissolved portion in $500g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ solution followed by leaching (B), application of $Al_2SO_4$ solution with the concentration of $0.75g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ followed by leaching (C), pH elevation by (B) followed by pH lowering by (C), then leaching (D). Soil samples taken before experiment had 6.0 in soil pH. But the pH of all treatments taken after pH changes and leaching were in the range from 5.8 to 6.2 without statistical differences among treatments. Electrical conductivity of soils taken before experiment was $1.82dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ and those of (A), (B), (C), and (D) were 1.65, 1.72, 1.71 and $1.83dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$, respectively. The plant height in treatment (C) was 20.4 cm at 80 days after transplanting which was the highest among treatments tested. The other growth characteristics did not show statistical differences among treatments. Tissue contents of Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu and B in treatment (C) were higher than those of other treatments at 80 days after transplanting. The treatment (C) had the highest number of special sizes and fruit weight per 50 plants such as 137 and 3.784 g, respectively. The treatment also had 3.123 kg in total fruit weight and 2,489 kg in marketable fruit weight per 10 are. The treatment (B) also had good results such as 2,820 kg in marketable fruit weight per 10 are.

The lower portion of sloping paddy fields normally contains excessive moisture and the higher water table caused by the inflow of ground water from the upper part of the field resulting in non-uniform water content distribution. Four drainage methods namely Open Ditch, Vinyl Barrier, Pipe Drainage and Tube Bundle for multiple land use were installed within 1-m position from the lower edge of the upper embankment of sloping alluvial paddy fields. Knowledge of the spatial variability of soil water properties is of primary importance for management of agricultural lands. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of drainage in the soil on spatial variability of soil water content using the geostatistical analysis. The soil water content was collected by a TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) sensor after the installation of subsurface drainage on regular square grid of 80 m at 20 m paddy field located at Oesan-ri, Buk-myeon, Changwon-si in alluvial slopping paddy fields ($35^{\circ}22^{\prime}$ N, $128^{\circ}35^{\prime}$). In order to obtain the most accurate field information, the sampling grid was divided 3 m by 3 m unit mesh by four drainage types. The results showed that spatial variance of soil water content by subsurface drainage was reduced, though yield of soybean showed the same trends. Value of "sill" of soil water content with semivariogram was 9.7 in Pipe Drainage, 86.2 in Open Ditch, and 66.8 in Vinyl Barrier and 15.7 in Tube Bundle.

This survey was conducted to investigate the factors affecting the chemical components of groundwater in the plastic house area cultivated with horticulture crops. The data were evaluated with depth of groundwater, topography and years of cultivation as major factors. $NO_3-N$ content of groundwater was higher at waterside(Alluvial plain) than Inland plain(Alluvial plain), local valley & fan or mountain foot area, and also was detected the highest concentration in 6-10m depth well. The contents of $NO_3-N$ and $SO_4{^{2-}}$ in groundwater were increased with cultivation years. The ionic composition (${\sum}A/{\sum}C$ : ratio between total equivalant of anions and cations) of groundwater decreased with depth and was higher at waterside(alluvial plain) than other topography. The $NO_3-N$ content was negatively correlated with pH whereas it was positively correlated with $SO_4{^{2-}}$, $Cl^-$, $K^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, and $Mg^{2+}$.
