It is necessary to develop an efficient and affordable cooling technology and apply the practical system to rural farmhouse, control to adequate growth environment by adjusting temperature of root zone. A study on managing medium temperature of the hydroponics for strawberry cultivation was conducted and feasible evaporative cooling system for the media cooling were as follows: Characteristics of temperature drop were investigated for the evaporative cooling devices using microporous film duct, felt mulching on media surface, and water permeable sheet in culture tank. The evaporative device with water permeable sheet in culture tank was the most efficient and economic on media cooling system.

The purpose of the cultivated crops have been changes in the aim of improving quality production. In recent years, as people's attention on health, the demand for healthy crops such as mushrooms gradually increased. In the process of mushroom factory production, regulation of environmental factors directly affects the yield and quality of mushroom. In related to the methods of mushroom cultivation, the recent technologies apply the new technology such as sensors and IT convergence services. And then cultivating mushroom is managed effectively. Farmers use plastic greenhouse cultivation mode more and more in order to reduce the impact of outdoor environment on crop cultivation, which requires farmers to adjust the greenhouse temperature at any time. But the majority of farmers still use a thermometer to measure temperature. This paper constructs an environment that can automatically adjust the temperature, so as to measuring temperature in real time, improving the efficiency of the farm work, and reducing unnecessary labor.

우리나라에 널리 보급ㆍ이용되고 있는 양액재배방식중 하나는 펄라이트경이며 대부분 비순환식이다. 펄라이트 재배에서의 적정 양액조성, 양액관리기술 및 배지내 환경조건에 관한 연구가 꾸준히 이루어지고 있다. 한편 적정 수분관리는 작물의 생장뿐만 아니라 경제적, 환경적 측면에서 대단히 중요하다. 따라서 생육단계 및 재배시기별로 급액량을 달리하고 있지만 아직은 비효율적인 측면이 있어 양액소모량이 더 많다. (중략)

The research was aimed to improve pre-harvest methods to maintain marketability in postharvest leaf lettuce. In this study, the effect of hydroponics on the growth and post-harvest storage characteristics of 'Chongchima' lettuce grown in peat mass medium hydroponic system using a non-powered culture device or deep water culture (DWC) was evaluated. There was no difference in fresh weight, leaf number, SPAD, moisture content, and C/N ratio between peat moss growing medium hydroponic and DWC methods except plant height. It was found that lettuce cultivation by a nonpowered hydroponics method is easier than the existing DWC. The quality parameters, such as fresh weight loss, SPAD value, and general appearance of lettuce were investigated after harvest. There was no significant difference in fresh weight loss and general appearance during storage of lettuce by the hydroponics methods. However, with the increased storage time of SPAD, which is related to chlorophyll content, was slightly higher in peat moss medium hydroponic was than DWC. When crops such as lettuce are grown under favorable conditions without any agronomic abnormalities, it is suggested that post-harvest storage is not significantly affected by peat moss growing medium hydroponic and DWC.

In this paper, we propose a thin-film hydroponic plant cultivator using HMI display and IoT technology. Existing plant cultivators were difficult to manage due to soil-based cultivation, and it was difficult to optimize environmental conditions due to the open cultivation environment. In addition, there are problems with plant cultivation as immediate control is difficult and growth of plants is delayed. To solve this problem, a cultivation environment was established by connecting the MCU and sensors, and the environment information could be checked and quickly controlled by linking with the HMI display. Additionally, a case was applied to minimize changes in environmental information. Implementation of a thin-film hydroponic cultivation system made soil management easier, improved functionality through operation and control, and made it easy to understand environmental information through the display. The effectiveness of rapid growth was confirmed through crop cultivation experiments in existing growers and hydroponic growers. Future research directions will include optimizing growth information by transmitting and storing cultivation environment information and linking and comparing growth information using vision cameras. It is expected that this will enable efficient and stable plant cultivation.

One of the major problems in automation of soybean sprouter is watering method. This study was conducted solve this problem. The soybean sprouter consisted of three parts: water-receiving chamber with siphon, water spraying bowl and sprout cultivating bowl. It functions as automatic-watering without manpower and electric power, and is not noisy and has duration. Watering interval, watering time and amount could be controlled by regulation of dropping times/min from a tap. Chlorine contained in tap water is naturally decreased during its (water) storage in the water receiving chamber. Among three types of sprouter (siphon type, wet paper type and water pump type) the siphon type can be used at $25{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ that is the optimum temperature for soybean sprout.

Oriental melon (Cucumis melo L.) is generally cultivated on the ground by creeping culture. A farmer has a higher workload for training stems. This study was conducted to find out a new cultivation of oriental melon to reduce a workload and improve the quality of fruit. There were three treatments for training stem of oriental melon; upward stem growing, downward stem growing, control (creeping stem growing). The results of the plant growth and the net photosynthesis showed higher in upward stem growing. The root activity was higher in downward stem attract. The yield was not significant as 4,055kg/10a in upward stem attract and 3,983kg/10a in downward stem attract. According to the results of the ergonomic agricultural workload evaluation, in the case of the working posture, the working posture of creeping cultivation methods (squatting, bending) showed a higher risk level than the upward and downward cultivation methods. Therefore, it is recommended the upward stem attract of oriental melon is a new cultivation as well as an alternative method for creeping stem attract in terms of improving the plant growth and yield, and reducing the workload.

분화 양액 재배에 있어서 저면 관수 방식은 두상 관수 방식 보다 더 널리 사용되고 있다. 저면 관수 방식의 장점으로는 지상부에 물이 닿지 않아 고품질의 식물체 생산 가능, 균일한 크기의 식물체 생산 가능, 물과 양분의 사용의 줄임 등이 있다 (Newman, 1999). 현재 유럽은 저면 관수방식의 대표적인 ebb-and-flow 시스템이 상용화 되어있으며, 북미에서도 점점 그 사용 비율이 증가하고 있다 (Biernbaum, 1990). (중략)
