This experiment was carried out to clarify the effect of root diameter and length on yield in Rehmannja glutionosa on experimental fields of Chungbuk Provincial Rural Development Ad­ministration. Emergance date was faster Sand 10 days with root diameter 3mm and 9mm than that of root diameter 6mm. Emergance ratio was high in the order of 6mm >7mm > 9mm with root diameter, and bolting ratio was increased in the order of 9mm > 6mm > 3mm with root diameter. Leaf length had no differences betwere root diameter and length, and leaf width had same tendency. Content of inorganic matter such as T - N, $P_2O_5,\;K_2O,\; C_aO,\;M_gO$ was high measuring date was delayed, and higher in root than leaf. Sugar content was higher in November than in October and had no differences with root diameter, but was more de­creased as the root length was longer. Yield was increased 9 % with root diameter 9mm. Comparing with root length, yield was higer 5% with 6cm than that of 1, 172kg/10a with 3cm, and decreased 25% with 9cm. And the profitable root was considered root diameter 8mm and root length 6cm.

Conventionally, the seeds of Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) Libosch. ex Steud. have been directly sown at the field without using the plug seedling method. Plug seedlings have the advantage of promoting germination and convenient transplanting. However, there is little information about propagation of R. glutinosa using the plug seedling method. This study was conducted to investigate the optimal seed rhizome length, diameter, and sowing direction of R. glutinosa for establishing the plug seedling method. Seed rhizome length and diameter were separated by 1, 2, 3 cm and 0.3-0.5, 0.6-1.0, 1.1-1.5 cm, respectively. And seed rhizomes were sown in vertical and horizontal directions. The survival rate in 1 cm length of seed rhizomes was lower than in other treatments. The leaf length, leaf width, number of leaves, SPAD, leaf area, and fresh and dry weights of shoot and roots were the greatest in 3 cm length of seed rhizomes. As the seed rhizome diameter decreased, the growth characteristics of R. glutinosa tended to increase. When R. glutinosa was sown horizontal direction, the leaf length, leaf width, number of leaves, and leaf area were significantly higher than in the vertical direction. In conclusion, when sowing seed rhizome in a plug tray, using a length of 3 cm, a diameter of less than 1 cm, and sowing in a horizontal direction is considered an appropriate sowing method for R. glutinosa.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of direct seeding and planting of seedlings in different ages on yield and yield characteristics of Cynanchum wilfordii $H_{EMSLY}$. Emergence date was three days earlier in direct seeding compared to May 14 in plots planted with one - or three - year - old seedlings. Petiole length was 16cm and 26cm longer in direct seeding and 1 - year - old seedlings, respectively, compared to 279cm in plot of 3 - year - old seedling. Root diameter was 0.4cm thicker in direct seeding and 0.5cm thicker in 1 - year - old seedlings compared to 1.0cm in seedlings of three years old. Root length was 7.2cm shorter in direct seeding, but was 0.6cm longer in 1 - year - old seedlings than 32.2cm in seedlings of three years old. Yield increased by 29 % in direct seeding and 55% in seedlings of one year old compared to 1,403kg/l0a in 3 - year - old seedlings. In cultivation of Cynanchum wilfordii $H_{EMSLY}$, the suitable planting methods were direct seeding or the use of 1 - year - old seedlings which were profitable at higher density as $50{\times}10cm$.
