This experiment was conducted far the efficient use of plant growth retardants (PGR) for suppression of plug seedling height. 'Seokwang' tomato seeds were soaked in I5 mL solution of daminozide (1,000, 10,000, or 100,000 mg.L-1) or uniconazole (1, 10, or 100 mg.L-1). And then, they were put in $25^{\circ}C$ chamber for one or three days. Seeds were washed in tap waters and were dried in 5$^{\circ}C$ chamber for one day. Dried tomato seeds were sown and seedlings were raised in 288-cell plug trays. Seedlings grown were evaluated at 21 and 38 days after sowing. Treatments of 10 or 100 mg.L-1 uniconazole as compared to the control had significantly suppressed hypocotyl length and seedling height, but fresh and dry weights of roots, emergence, no. of leaves, chlorophyll concentration, dry matter, and T/R ratio were not significant by different among treatments.

This experiment was carried out to obtain the information on seed dormancy, germinability during storage in wasabia japonica Matsum. $GA_3$ 100ppm+BA 10ppm was more effective than $GA_3$100ppm alone in breaking the dormancy. Storage of seeds pretreated with growth retardants (CCC, Uniconazol) seemed to be a useful method for preventing germination during storage. The stratification was an effective storage method to germinate the seeds for sowing them in fall.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of plant growth regulators on the growth and development of pot 'Pinto Rose' and 'Pinto Scarlet' geraniums. Plant height was increased by $GA_3$ treatments in both 'Pinto Rose' and 'Pinto Scarlet' geranium. However, the number of branches was not affected by $GA_3$ and daminozide treatments. The combined treatments of $GA_3$ and daminozide delayed the days to first flowering in 'Pinto Scarlet' geranium. Also, in 'Pinto Rose', $GA_3$ or the combination of $GA_3$ and daminozide treatments delayed the first flowering time. 'Pinto Scarlet' geranium was more sensitive to growth regulator treatments than 'Pinto Rose'. The number of flower stalks and branches were increased by uniconazole in 'Pinto Scarlet', while the flower stalk length and canopy diameter were severely decreased by uniconazole treatments in both cultivars. The days to first flowering tended to be delayed by all growth retardant treatments in geranium.

To develop Korean native lilies as mini-potted plants, the effects of plant growth retardants on inhibiting stem elongation and improving flowering rate were evaluated. Bulblets of Lilium concolor var. parthneion (5-7 g) and L. dauricum (3-4 g fresh wt) derived from in vitro culture and then enlarged by field culture were applied with 0, 25, 50, or $100mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ ancymidol, diniconazole, and uniconazole through bulb dipping, foliar spray, and drench. In L. concolor var. parthneion, uniconazole dipping most effectively reduced plant height by 60.7-78.3% depending on concentration compared with control without decreasing flowering percentage. In L. dauricum, dipping into diniconazole solution significantly retarded the plant height by 70.0-86.3% and improved flowering percentage by 8.3-18.2% compared to control of 0%. Drench of $25-50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ ancymidol was also effective on inhibition of stem elongation and improvement of flowering rate. Therefore, dipping into $50-100mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ uniconazole solution in L. concolor var. parthneion and dipping into $25mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ diniconazole solutions or drench of $25mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ ancymidol in L. dauricum can be useful to produce the mini-potted plants.

We evaluated the presence of uniconazole residual pesticide in agricultural products by using multiclass pesticide multiresidue methods. Samples were collected from January to August, 2012. The pesticide was detected in 14 samples among the 3,632 samples tested. Amount of the uniconazole pesticide ranged from 0.098 to 2.2 mg/kg in the 14 samples. This method was described for the simultaneous determination of uniconazole by using gas chromatography with an electron capture detector (GC-ECD) and mass spectrometry (MS). For evaluating the GC-ECD method, uniconazole was spiked into gyeojachae at a level of 0.05, 0.5 mg/kg. The recoveries of uniconazole with the GC-ECD method ranged from 98.9-109.4%. The results indicate that our method of simultaneous analysis is applicable to uniconazole analysis.

The monitoring of the uniconazole residual pesticide for agricultural products was conducted by multiclass pesticide multiresidue methods. Samples were collected from June to November, 2011. Uniconazole pesticide was detected in 49 samples from a total of 3,939 samples. The amount of uniconazole pesticide ranged from 0.09 to 17.89 mg/kg in 49 samples. This method was described for the simultaneous determination of uniconazole by gas chromatography with a nitrogen phosphorus detector (GC-NPD) and mass spectrometry (MS). The limit of detection and quantification were 0.006 and 0.018 mg/kg GC-NPD, respectively. For an evaluation of the GC-NPD method, uniconazole spiked into gyeojachae at a level of 0.5, 5 mg/kg was determined. The recoveries of uniconazole by the GC-NPD method ranged from 83.4 to 101.4%. The results indicate that the method of simultaneous analysis is applicable to uniconazole analysis.
