An experiment was conducted at the Yeongnam Crop Experiment Station for 4 years from 1985 to understand the effect of repeated use of same herbicide on weed growth. For this, the most common 6 herbicides, butachlor, bifenox, butachlor/pyrazolate, piperophos/dimethametryne, bentazon and propanil were used as single treatment or combination treatment. For non chemical plots, weed occurrence was rapidly increased with time in terms of number and weight. However no rice plot recorded the least increasing ratio. Similar trend was obtained at the herbicide plot even though the increasing ratio varied by herbicide properties. The least increasing ratio (1200 was recorded at the plot of butachlor/pyrazolate (5 days after transplanting, 5 DAT) followed by bentazon+propanil(25 DAT) while the greatest ratio (28%) was obtained from the plot of bifenox (5 DAT). In general, Scirpus hotarui, Eleocharis kuroguwai and Cyperus serotinus was gradually inereased with time by herbicide application, particularly at the butachlor/pyrazolate treatment. The community dominance and simpson index increased at the plot of bentazon and propanil due to increased of particular species while other herbicide plots exhibited reverse trend. Grain yield was curvilinearly decreased with weed weight for both times, 40 DAT and heading time eventhough the correlation coefficient of heading time was higher than 40 DAT.

This study was carried out to improve the rice grain quality of Gyeoungbuk Province from 2002 to 2004. In variation of grain quality characteristics as the cultivation years were changed, the coefficient of variation (CV) of palatability and amylose content were relatively low as $3.9\~4.3\%$ and those of protein content and head rice rate were high as $7.9\~12.2\%$. Among the varieties, the tendency of variation was similar with cultivation years changing, CV of amylose content and palatability also low as $2.6\~3.6\%$ and those of head rice rate and protein content were high as $5.4\~7.2\%$. In variation as affected by shifting of transplanting times, the CV of protein content was low as 2.2, it was also relatively low in amylose content and head rice rate as $3.1\~3.7\%$, but it was high in palatability as $5.8\%$. As the nitrogen application levels were different the CV of amylase content was $1.8\%$ that it was not affected by the N levels. But in case of protein content, the CV was $4.4\%$ that the variation was somewhat increased, it suggested that as the N levels were increased the protein content was also increased. From these results, the rice quality characteristics showed the higher variation in the change of cultivation years than that in rice varieties, transplanting times or nitrogen levels.

Korean paddy soils have long been almost uniformly managed throughout the whole country with flooded, deep tillage, puddlling, transplanting, and uncovering after harvest. Management of soil organic carbon could be more important in the sources of green house gases. However, soil organic carbon dynamics were not been studied for Korean paddy soils. Therefore, we evaluated the changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) of paddy soils between 1999 and 2003 at the same locations nationwide except islands. Soil organic carbon tends to increase in Inceptisols, which is predominant soil order for Korean paddy soils, from 1999 to 2003. Soil organic carbon increases in topographically plain paddy soils was greater than in valley soils, and was considerably high in predominant types of paddy soils (i.e., well adapted paddy soils, sandy paddy soils, and poorly drained paddy soils) but low and stable in the saline paddy soils. We also found that clay paddy soils are greater in soil organic carbon than sandy paddy soils. Through this study, we concluded that a proper management of paddy soils could contribute to soil organic carbon storage, which imply that the Korean paddy soils could help to enhance carbon dioxide sequestration via soil organic matter into the soil.

The symptom expressions such as yellowish and mosaic spots in overwintering barley have been considered to be a damage by cold or water. However, it had revealed that the symptom expressions were caused by viruses throughout three year nationwide surveys. Barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV), Barley mild mosaic virus (BaMMV), and Soil-borne wheat mosaic virus (SBWMV) was detected in 2001-2003 and Barley yellow dwarf virus-MA V (BYDV -MA V) from field samples collected on March in 2003. The results of investigation showed that the incidence of BaYMV was more than 70％ and that of BaMMV and SBWMV was 15.7-37.4％ and 0.7-10.1 ％ in three year surveys, respectively. The incidence of BYDV-MAV was approximately 1 ％ in 2003 only. The distribution of BaYMV was relatively uniform throughout barley fields in Korea, but the incidence of the virus in Gyunggi Province was as low as 19％ compared to 65-85％ in the rest of regions. On the other hand, 70％ of BaMMV was found to be in the west south regions of Korea, Jeonbuk and Jeonnam Provinces. Taken together, both BaYMV and BaMMV were thought to be dominant casual agents in overwintering barley by either single or mixed infections. Previous survey data for BaYMV from 1994 to 1996 indicated that the incidence of the virus was approximately 40％ in Jeonbuk, Jeonnam, and Gyungnam Provinces. Thus, comparing with the results from the recent nationwide survey, the incidence of BaYMV had been rapidly increasing in overwintering barley fields in the southern part of Korea.

The effects of the rice weevils(Sitophilus oryzae L.) on naked barley and wheat were studied in connection with the moisture contents and the molds in the grain under the controlled conditions; R.H. $75\%,\; 28^{\circ}C.$ 1. The moisture contents of control grain were decreased $2.07\%$ for naked barley and $1.29\%$ in wheat in four weeks. 2. The moisture contents of naked barley which had been infested with 100 weevils were decreased $0.29\%$ and were increased $0.79\% in the berley infested with 200 weevils at t beginning. In wheat, the moisture contents were decreased by$0.84\%\; and\; 0.13\%$ in respective experimental lots. 3. The moisture contents of grains have close relation with the population densities of the weevils in the grain. 4. The pattern of the change in the moisture content of grain have close relation with the population densities of the weevils in the grain. 5. The number of the mold colonies in the grain increased exponentially with the increase in the population densities of weevils in the grain. 6. The species of the mold found were A. restrictus and A. versicolor, which were the most abundant, and A. candidus was also found, but Ins common.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes of soil properties for potato and Chinese cabbage after application adding phosphorus and potassium fertilizers in the mounded highland soil from 1999 to 2001. Experimental plots were designed with control(NPK+Lime+Compost) and chemical improvement(Control+Application adding P and K). Mounded soil before field experiment of first year(1999) was low in organic matter, available phosphorus and exchangeable potassium, and the soil texture was loamy sand soil. After 3 years, the contents of soil organic matter increased a little, and available phosphorus and exchangeable potassium contents were remarkably increased. The crop growth in chemical improvement plot was better than control plot. Yield of chemical improvement plot in comparison with control plot was increased by 5~22% for potato and 6~25% for Chinese cabbage after 2~3 years.

Four regions have been selected and surveyed to investigate the effects of air pollution and acid deposition on forest ecosystem. They were Seoul as urban region, Yeochon and Ulsan as industrialized region, and Kangwondo as uncontaminated region. Soil pH and the distribution of elements were analyzed in process of time for three years as well as by distance from pollution sources. In general, forest soils acidified in process of time from pollution sources to suburban areas. Hydrogen ion concentration in forest soils increased in 1988 as much as 60% of that in previous year. Average soil pH values in coniferous forest were 4.45 in Seoul, 4.54 in Yeochon, 4.81 in Ulsan, and 6.03 in Kangwondo. Forest soil pH increased with the distance from pollution sources to suburban areas at constant rate within short ranges (up to 30 km) and at decreasing rate within long ranges (up to 200 km). On the contrary, sulfur content in soils decreased every year except in Yeochon region. Base saturation of forest soils in polluted regions were all below 20% level compared with 70% in Kangwondo region. Active aluminum content in soils increased with the soil acidification at the highest rate in Yeochon, and the next in Ulsan and Seoul. Heavy metal content such as copper and zinc in tree tissues were the lowest in Kangwondo region, and the next in Yeochon, Seoul and Ulsan.
