For nine taxa of the genus Carex which consist of C. arenicola, C. chordorhiza, C. curta, C. gibba, C. laevissima, C. leiorhyncha, C. neuromrpa, C. maakii and C. remouscula with mixed pistillate and staminate flowers, morphological characters such as inflorescense, spikelet, inflorescence bract, utricle, pistillate and staminate scales, achene, length between two spikelets were observed to find useful characters for their identification. Especially, the shape and the number of spikelet were very useful characters to divide the treated nine taxa into two groups, the their keys were prepared. The first group was comprised of five species of C. arenicola, C. chordorhiza, C. curta, C. gibba, and C. remouscula, which were characterized by broadly oboval or narrowly elliptical shape of spikelet, and 3-9 spikelets per infIorescence and gradual decrease in length between two spikelets. The second group was composed of four species of C. laevissima, C. leiorhyncha, C. neurocarpa, C. maakii, which were distinguished by oval shape of spikelet, and 17-20 spikelets per infIorescence and repetition of increase.

This study was conducted to provide primary data through analysis of zoysia grass genetic resources to develop grass cultivars with beneficial novel properties. Zoysia grass (Zoysia. spp) is native to Korea, and is mainly propagated through stolons. However, since seed coat treatment technology was developed, the breeding of sexually reproductive grass variants has become possible, necessitating characterization of the floret appearance rate in the secured zoysia grass genetic resource before developing sexually reproductive cultivars. In this experiment, 549 grass lines were examined, revealing that florets appear in only 43 lines (7.81%). Survival rates after transplantation, and stolon generation rates displayed a significant positive correlation (Rho = 0.44). Survival rates after transfer, and rates of stolon production displayed very low correlations with floret appearance (Rho = -0.11 and Rho = -0.06). No significant results were obtained in 43 lines that displayed >20% floret appearance. To breed sexually reproductive grass variants, it is thus necessary to secure more genetic resources, considering the low rate of floret appearance. Finding traits that predict floret appearance at an early stage is also required.

Three Phyllostachys stands of P. pubescens, P. bambusoides and P. nigra var, henonis in Sunchon were studied to investigate biomass, net production and nutrient distribution. Five $10m{\times}10m$ quadrats were set up and 20 sample culms of 2 years and over were harvested for dimension analysis in each stand. One year old culms and subterranean parts were estimated by the harvested quadrat method. The largest mean DBH, height and basal area were shown in P. pubescens stand, and followed by P. nigra var. henonis stand and P. bambusoides stand. There was little difference in accuracy among three allometric biomass regression models of logWt=A+B1ogD, $logWt=A+BlogD^2H$ and logWt=A+BlogD+ClogH, where Wt, D and H were dry weight, DBH and height, respectively. Analysis of covariance showed that there were significant differences in intercept among the linear allometric biomass regressons of three Phyllostachys species. Biomass included subterranean parts was the largest in P. pubescens stand(103.621t/ha), and followed by P. nigra var. henonis stand(86.447t/ha) and P. bambusoides stand(36.767t/ha). Leaf biomass was 6.3% to 7.8% of total biomass in each stands. The ratio of aboveground biomass and subterranean biomass in each stand was 1.87 to 2.26. Net production included subterranean parts was the greatest in P. pubescens stand(6.115t/ha/yr), and followed by P. nigra var. henonis stand(5.609t/ha/yr) and P, bambusoides stand(3.252t/ha/yr). The highest net assimilation ratio was estimated in P. pubescens stand(2.979), and followed by P. nigra var. henonis stand(2.752) and P. bambusoides stand(2.187). Biomass accumulation ratio of each stand was 2.679 to 5.358. Concentrations of N, P and Mg were the highest in leaves, and followed by subterranean parts, and culms+branches in all three species. Concentration of Ca was the highest in leaves, and followed by culms+branches, and subterranean parts in all three species. The difference in biomass among three species stands was caused by their culm size, leaf biomass, net assimilation ratio, and efficiency of leaves to produce culms.

This study was conducted to find out withering and dying trends of turfgrasses on the base of tree, and to investigated how much area of turfgrasses withering and dying were progressed on angle of inclination at golf course. Turfgrasses withering and dying on base of trees on slope was extended more to the down-solpe direction than to the up-solpe direction. This trend was common in all experiment plot. Turfgrasses on the base of trees were withered and dead by competing with tree root fur nutrients and moisture in soil. But the trend of the withering and dying in some experiment plots occurred by soil erosion following turfgrass withering and dying occurring on upside ridge. This trend was generally appeared in region of tree community at upside ridge. The form of turfgrass withering and dying on the base of tree in some experiment plots was similar to that of the tree crown. This withering and dying from occurred at the $11^{th}$ experiment plot in Ji San Golf Course and the $6^{th}$ experiment plot in East valley Golf Course.

This experiment aimed to estimate the effect of imperfect rice on rice palatability. Rice cultivar, Ilpumbyeo, was cultivated by direct-seeding on flooded paddy surface with 11 kg/10a nitrogen application. Palatability of harvested rice was measured by NIR spectroscope. Brown rice was divided according to their appearance namely, perfect, discolored, green-kerneled, and immature opaque with a composition ratio of $75.7\%,\;11.0\%,\;8.0\%,\;and\;5.3\%$ respectively. When the perfect brown rice was milled, the grain were composed of head, cracked, and white core & belly, at $64.7\%,\;25.3\%\;and\;10.0\%$ respectively. The milled rice of discolored brown rice had similar composition with the perfect rice. The milled green-kerneled vice, on the other hand, had $36\%$ head rice and $64\%$ white core & belly rice. The immature opaque brown rice, when milled, had $25.3\%$ white core & belly and $74.7\%$ damage & opaque rice. With the respect to grain quality, the viscosity of white core at belly rice and damaged & opaque rice was lower than that of head rice. In contrast, their protein content was a little higher than that of head rice. The palatability value of pure imperfect rice was much lower than head rice. The palatability value of damaged & opaque rice was the lowest among the imperfect rices. When mixed with head rice, the damaged & opaque rice impacted on the deterioration of vice palatability. Mixing $1\%$ each of white core at belly rice and damaged h opaque rice decreased the palatability value by $5\%$ as compared with the head rice.

This study was carried out to compare the rice quality between domestic brand rice and imported Chinese rice. In the appearance of grain, head rice rates were $96.1\%$ in domestic brand rice (Ilpumbyeo), $94.1\%$ in Jingguan (Chinese brand rice) and $86.5\%$ in Xiaozhandao(Chinese brand rice). In case of Chinese parboiled rice, the head rice rate was $0\%$ because the cracked and broken rice occupied about $95.5\%$. The low protein contents in Ilpumbyeo and Xiaozhandao as 6.5 and $6.7\%$ show relatively high palatability as 81.9 and 71.4. However, high protein contents in Jingguan and Chinese parboiled rice as 7.5, $7.4\%$ show low palatability as 64.3 and 55.6. In viscosity characteristics, peak viscosity, break down and final viscosity were higher in Ilpumbyeo and Xiaozhandao, midium in Jingguan and lowest in Chinese parboiled rice. And the set back value, which was negatively related with amylose content, was lowest in Ilpumbyeo and highest in Chinese parboiled, suggesting slow deterioration in Ilpumbyeo and rapid deterioration in Chinese parboiled rice. Overall physical components of cooked rice measured by Texture Analyser were higher in Ilpumbyeo than those in Chinese parboiled rice.

This study examined the effects of delayed harvest of Miscanthus on its biomass yield and growth characteristics. The trial was conducted at a 5-year-old demonstration field, using Miscanthus sacchariflorus cv. Geodae 1 and Miscanthus ${\times}$ giganteus. Harvesting was carried out using a mower, baler, and bale picker driven by a 5-ton tractor. Harvesting dates were the $1^{st}$, $10^{th}$, and $17^{th}$ of April, which respectively corresponded with the first, mid, and last emerging dates of new shoots. The sequential changes in stem number due to delayed harvesting were investigated on April $29^{th}$, May $27^{th}$, July $22^{nd}$, and October $30^{th}$, which corresponded to the juvenile, mid, luxuriant, and senescence stem stages, respectively. Soil penetration resistance, biomass yield, and growth characteristics were investigated on October $30^{th}$. There was no difference in soil penetration resistance at a depth of 10 cm, but it increased at a depth of 20 cm in proportion to the delayed harvesting time. The sequential change in stem number due to delayed harvesting was greater in M. sacchariflorus cv. Geodae 1 than in M. ${\times}$ giganteus. In M. sacchariflorus cv. Geodae 1, which was harvested on the last emerging date of new shoots, the stem number was $169/m^2$ in the mid stage but decreased to $70/m^2$ in the luxuriant stage. The diameter of newly developed rhizomes, stem height, and biomass yield decreased in the two Miscanthus species due to delayed harvesting. The ratio of Miscanthus headings, which is a critical characteristic for landscape use, also decreased due to delayed harvesting. Heading of M. sacchariflorus cv. Geodae 1 was not observed in plots harvested on the mid and last emerging dates of new shoots.

To determine the possibility of solidified se wage sludge for use as a soil cover material in reclaimed land, the growth of energy crops and soil chemical properties investigated in each experimental plots during 2 years (2010 and 2011). The experimental plots consisted of the mixing with solidified sewage sludge plot (SS50), the covering with solidified sewage sludge plot (SS100), and the original reclaimed land plot (ORL) on reclaimed land for the intended landfill in Sudokwon Landfill Site Management Corporation (SLC). Plant height, measured in the second year (2011), was highest in the Geodae 1 grown at plots treated with solidified sewage sludge. The growth of energy crops cultivated in both SS50 and SS100 were better than in ORL. The contents of organic matter (OM) and total nitrogen (T-N) at both SS50 and SS100 were considerably higher than that of the ORL over 2 years. However, the soil from ORL showed higher salinity with high contents of exchangeable $Na^+$ cation than that of SS50 and SS100 over 2 years. We consider that soil chemical and physical properties on reclaimed land used in this study could be improved by the application of solidified sewage sludge due to following reasons. Firstly, the application of solidified sewage sludge may provide soil nutrients on reclaimed land i.e. the growth of energy crops better than in ORL, resulted in more OM and T-N contents in SS50 and SS100. Secondly, the top layers mixed or covered with solidified sewage sludge on reclaimed land may be prevented the salinity accumulation due to capillary rise to surface soil, and improved the cultivation layer for effectively propagating the rhizomes of energy crops. Thus the solidified sewage sludge may be a great soil cover materials for cultivation of bioenergy crops in reclaimed land.

The rice stem borer (Chilo suppressalis Walker) was one of the most destructive pest of rice for the 1960s and 1970s in Korea. Recently, it is newly recognized as a potential risk factor to the biomass yield of bioenergy crops. The current research was firstly conducted to investigate overwintering larvae population density and pattern of rice stem borer attacking Miscanthus sacchariflorus cv. Geodae 1 which is referred to as an ideal lignocellulosic bioenergy crop in Korea. Population density of larvae per $1m^2$ in stems and rhizomes at the Miscanthus experimental plots and rates of damage (wormhole, abscission) of M. sacchariflorus cv. Goedae 1 were investigated from October 2012 to March 2013. The population of larvae per $1m^2$ in stems of Miscanthus were 23, 4, 1, and 1 in October, November, December 2012, and January 2013, respectively. Over the same period, the population of larvae in basal stem rots and rhizomes were increased, whereas decreased in stems. Interestingly, the positions of larvae for overwintering in Miscanthus were confirmed to 5~10 cm below the soil surface such as basal stem rot and rhizome, whereas the most common overwintering position known in rice is a part of stem on the ground such as rice straw and rice stubble. It would suggest that the larvae gradually moved to bottom of stems and rhizomes in soil in line with decline in temperature. Moreover, the damage rates of stems per $1m^2$ were up to more than 50% in some places. In conclusion, this might be the first report that rice stem borer could affect the productivity of biomass of Miscanthus in case of mass cultivation. Moreover, it should be necessary to make a decision in insect control management for this bioenergy feedstock and other related crops.
