This study investigates the changes in inorganic composition and the microbial counts during the process of fermentation of mixed domestic organic resources for the development of alternatives for imported oil cake, and examines the characteristics of mixed fermentation organic fertilizer (MFOF). The effect of the MFOF on the lettuce growth is investigated in order to evaluate the possibility of replacing the existing mixed oil cake with the MFOF. Six kinds of domestic by-product resources, which are rice bran, distiller's dried grains, sesame meal, fish meal, and spent mushroom substrate, are mixed by mixing ratio and the composition was analyzed during the fermentation process for 90 days under moisture content 30% and sealed condition. During the 90 days of fermentation, the pH change of the MFOF was little, and the moisture content was maintained at 34-35% until the 60^th day of fermentation, and then decreased to 30-31% on the 90^th day. Total nitrogen content remained unchanged during the fermentation period, but total carbon content showed a significant difference on the 21^st day of fermentation. It was confirmed that the content of fertilizer composition (nitrogen, phosphate, and potash) of the MFOF was 8.7% or more, which is suitable for the minimum amount standard of the main nutrients to be contained in the organic fertilizer. During the fermentation process of organic fertilizer, the density of bacteria and actinomycetes increased until 60 days and 30 days, respectively, and thereafter little changes were shown, and fungal population showed an increasing trend. As a result of lettuce cultivation test in the greenhouse by applying the MFOF, the growth and yield were comparable to that of using the existing mixed oil cake fertilizer when 100% was applied based on crop standard nitrogen fertilizer level. The use of mixed fermentation organic fertilizer made with domestic by-product resources can be used for use in farms in the future and is expected to contribute to the stable production of environment friendly agricultural products.

To investigate a comparison of rice yield and quality between organic and conventional cultivation, study for occurrence of rice diseases carried out in rice (Oryza sativa L.) field of Noahn and Bannam region. The results obtained as following: 1) Bactericide and insecticide were applied twice and four times at Noahn and Bannam region in conventional cultivation (C.C) of rice field, respectively, it was applied twice at two region in organic cultivation (O.C). Rice strip virus, leaf blast, neck blast, sheath blight, bacterial leaf blight, rice water weevil, rice leaf folder, and plant hoppers were occurred mainly in rice field. Leaf blast, neck blast, and rice leaf folder were occurred highly at O.C compared with C.C. 2) Growth level of rice in clum and panicle length was lower at O.C than C.C. Number of panicles per hill was by 0.6 higher at O.C than C.C. Number of panicles per hill was by 0.6 higher at O.C than C.C in Noahn region. Number of spikelets per panicle, grain filling ratio, brown/rough rice ratio, and weight of 1,000 grains was lower at O.C than C.C. Number of panicles per hill was by 0.8 lower at O.C than C.C in Bannam region. Number of spikelets per panicle and grain filling ratio was higher at O.C than C.C while brown/rough rice ratio was lower at O.C. Total yield percentage of rice in O.C was level of 84% at Noahn region and 94% at Bannam region compared with C.C. 3) Head rice percentage was lower at in O.C than C.C at two region. Protein and palatability (Toyo value) were lower at O.C than C.C in Bannam region causing occurrence of neck blast and rice leaf folder by oversupply of nitrogen fertilizer. Protein, whiteness, and palatability (Toyo value) were adequate level at O.C in Noahn region by lower nitrogen fertilizer.

The culture condition and medium composition for the enhanced mycelial growth of Lepista nuda DGUM 26501 were investigated. The optimal temperature and pH for the mycelial growth were $24^{\circ}C$ and $7.0\~8.0$, respectively. The partial pressure of oxygen for the enhanced mycelial growth was more than $10\%\;O_2$. When Czapek-Dox medium was used as a minimal medium, manitol and xylitol were very good carbon sources. Organic nitrogen sources were better than inorganic ones for mycelial growth. As the nitrogen source tested, com steep liquor, soytone and protease peptone were the best as a source of organic nitrogen sources. When ammonium phosphate as phosphorus sources was used, the enhanced mycelial growth was shown. Nicotinic acid was proved to be the most appropriate source of vitamin. After the mycelia of L. nuda DGUM 26501 was cultivated at $24^{\circ}C$ for 10 days in LNM broth (pH 7.0), the activities of extracellular enzyme were determined. The specific activity of $\alpha-amylase$ was much higher than those of other enzymes. However, little or no enzyme activities of $\beta-glucosidase$, CMCase, laccase and lipase were found.

In order to investigate the content and seasonal variation of the extractive components including taste compounds, free amino acids, nucleotides and related compounds, quanternary ammonium bases, and guanidino compounds of ascidian collected from the south coast of Korea were determined bimonthy from April to October in 1990. The extractive nitrogen was composed of $60{\sim}62\%$ as free amino acids, $12{\sim}16\%$ as betaines, $5{\sim}9\%$ as nucleotides, and others as trimethylamine oxide(TMAO) and total creatinine. The muscle of ascidian was rich in such free amino acids as taurine, proline, glutamic acid, glycine and glycinebetaine. Most of nitrogenous compounds in the extractives showed a marked seasonal variation with a maximum in summer or autumn. AMP content was relatively high among nucleotides. Succinic acid, malic acid, lactic acid and pyroglutaric acid were the major organic acids in ascidian. The results of omission test suggested that the taste of ascidian is attributed to mainly free amino acid, betaines, nucleotides and nonvolatile organic acid in order.

Elastomer-clay nanocomposite membranes were prepared by melt intercalation mothod with internal mixer. We are used NMR, Ionomer, SEBS (Styrene Ethylene Butadien styrene Copolymer) as elastomer, and modified clay. Gas barrier property of the elastomer-clay nanocomposites membranes were investigated by a gas permeability of $CO_2,\;O_2,\;N_2$ at room temperature. Gas permeability through the elastomer-clay nanocomposite membranes increased due to increased tortuosity made by intercalation of clay in elastomer.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of different nitrogen source and rate on the growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. vasinfectum which is known to be a noticeable fungus causing the wilt disease of both sesame and cotton in Korea. From the results of this study, It was known that different N source and rate markedly affect the growth of Fusarium oxyspsrum f. vasinfectum Among four N sourses were used in this study, nitrate-N and urea-N were appropriate N source for the growth of fungus. Above all, nitrate N was the best N source because it is utilized in more extensive range of concentration in comparison with the other N source by the fungus, On the other hand, ammonia-N is of little avail for the growth of the fungus because of the formation of unusual colonies with wavy margin and bead-like mycelial cells in addition to marked reduction of mycelial growth and B sporulation of the fungus irrespective of concentration. Judging from the formation of such an abnormal colony and bead-like mycelial cell which is known to be a characteristic of 'staling-type' growth of fungi, the effect of ammonia-N on the growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. vasinfectum is similar to that of phenoxy componnds on some other fungi previously investigated by some workers. Ammonium and nitrate also was not considered to be an appropriate source for the growth of the fungus because of the formation of colonies with slight wavy margin and appreciable reduction of mycelial growth and sporulation in higher concentration than 50meq. , although much or less masking of the irregularity of colony occurs. Therefore, ammonia N alone or any other N combined with ammonia N is of little avail for the growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. vasinfectum.

Reductive reactivity of zero-valent iron nanoparticles was investigated for removal of nitrate-nitrogen which is considered one of the major water pollutants. To elucidate the difference in reactivity between preparation methods, iron nanoparticles were synthesized respectively from microemulsion and aqueous solution of ferric ions. Iron nanoparticles prepared from microemulsion were deposited on aluminum by electrophoretic method, and their reaction kinetics was compared to that of the same nanoparticles suspended in aqueous batch reaction. With an approximation of pseudo-first-order reaction, rate constants for suspended nanoparticles prepared from microemulsion and dilute aqueous solution were $3.49{\times}10^{-2}min^{-1}$ and $1.40{\times}10^{-2}min^{-1}$, respectively. Iron nanoparticles supported on aluminum showed ca. 30% less reaction rate in comparison with the identical nanoparticles in suspended state. However, supported nanoparticles showed the superior effectiveness in terms of nitrate-nitrogen removal per zero-valent iron input especially when excess amounts of nitrates were present. Iron nanoparticles deposited on aluminum maintained reductive reactivity for more than 3 hours, and produced nitrogen gas as a final reduction product of nitrate-nitrogen.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of concentrated pig slurry and byproduct liquid fertilizer on the growth and yield of chinese cabbage. The experiment was conducted in a rain-shelter house which was installed in the agriculture farm. Plants were fertilized with concentrated slurry (CS), byproduct fertilizer (BF), mixture of concentrated slurry and byproduct liquid fertilizer (CS+BF), combined organic and chemical fertilizer (CS+BF+BF) and chemical fertilizer (CF) as control. 1. The pH level of byproduct liquid was decreased from the 3rd to the 7th day and increased 9 day to 14th day, but pH of concentrated slurry (CS) was not greatly varied. EC of concentrated slurry (CS) and byproduct liquid was increased gradually during the fermentation. 2. The concentrated slurry (CS) was low in phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, rich in potassium and unbalanced as a low nitrogen and high potassium. But byproduct liquid fertilizer was balanced in nitrogen and potassium ratio. 3. The leaf number, head height, head width of chinese cabbage in treatment with organic and chemical fertilizer (CS+BF+N) showed significant difference compared with control. The plant and head weight of chinese cabbage in treatment of concentrated slurry was severely decreased, but that in treatment organic and chemical fertilizer (CS+BF+N) were increased 8, 10% compared with control chemical fertilizer (CF), respectively. 4. The content of $K_2O$ in plant tissue and in soil was increased after using concentrated slurry. On the other hand, mineral content of except $K_2O$ did not differ significantly between any of the treatments. In conclusion, organic and chemical fertilizer (CS+BF+N) could improve growth and head weight of chinese cabbage.

In order to find out the application effect of commercial organic fertilizer on the germination rate of ginseng seed, growth of ginseng plant and changes of the physicochemical properties of soils, a Miwon organic fertilizer, byproduct of amino acid fermentation, was applied to the ginseng nursery bed. The application rates of Miwon organic fertilizer were 0kg-N from organic fertilizer and 30kg-N from wild grass compost per 10a as control(namely 0kg-N/10a), 2.5kg-N and 27.5kg-N/ 10a(2.5kg-N/10a) 5.0kg-N and 25kg-N/10a(5.0kg-N/10a), 10kg-N and 20kg-N/10a(10kg-N/10a), 15kg-N and 15kg-N/10a(15kg-N/10a) respectively, The obtained results are as follows: 1. The germination rate of ginseng seed were better in the plots that received 2.5kg, 5.0kg and 10kg-N/10a as compared with control plot. However no difference was found on germination rate between control and 15kg-N/10a, 2. The higher rate of missing plant was found in the 15kg-N/10a plot that showed poor growth. However control and 10kg-N/10a plot showed similar rate of missing plant. The best result, lower rate of missing plant, was obtained in the order of 5kg-N and 2.5kg-N/10a respectively. 3. The significant heavier ginseng root weight was obtained in 5kg-N/10a and 10kg-N/10a plot. However the root weight was decreased in the order of 2.5kg-N/10a, control, 15kg-N/10a. 4. In the physicochemical changes of soils between control and organic fertilizer treated soil before and after harvesting the increment of pH, C.E.C. and organic matter content along with the rate of organic fertilizer application were found. There were significant correlation between nitrate nitrogen and the rate of organic fertilizer application. 5. In the view points of germination rate, missing rate of plant and yield of ginseng root, it can be stated that the best result could be obtained from the plot that received 10kg-N/10a from Miwon commercial organic fertilizer and 10kg-N/10a from wild grass compost.

Poultry manure compost (PMC) as the organic fertilizer sources has a high nutrient content such as nitrogen, phosphate and potassium, and its properties been affected by bulking agent. This study was conducted to evaluate properties of mixed organic fertilizer (MOF) containing PMC composting with sawdust and peat moss as bulking agent, and to measure a characteristics of plant growth by their application. The MOF containing 10~30 % PMC had a coincidency with its guideline in Korea. As applied with MOF containing PMC composting with sawdust (PMCS) or MOF containing PMC composting with peat moss (PMCP), dry weight of plant was increased in MOF treatments blending with 10~30 % PMCS or 10~30 % PMCP. In correlation coefficient between blending ratio of PMC in MOFs and plant growth indexes, PMCS was not significantly different, but its PMCP a positive effect (P<0.05). These results indicated that PMC was able to blend about 10~30 % as mixed organic fertilizer source, and its application increased in plant growth.
