To better understand the exact nature of the major toxic compound responsible for phytotoxicity of sorghum stem, the most toxic compound from the stem extract was isolated by rapid chromatography and subsequently purified by thin-layer chromatography(TLC) and high pressure liquid chromatography(HPLC). Of the eight fractions isolated by rapid chromatography, the fraction with solvent combinations of butanol (8) : acetic acid (1) : water (1) had the highest toxicity. Further separation of the fraction by TLC in a solvent mixture of butanol (24) : acetic acid (16.4) : water (7) : propanol (1) showed that the spot with an $R_f$ 0.71 had one major peak with retention time of 20.40 minutes. Upon subjecting gas chromatography and the HPLC fraction to the mass spectrometry, the toxic compound is probably one of the four compounds ; 1-methyl-1-(2-propynyl)-hydrazine, 1-aziridineethanol, 5-chloro-2-pentanone, and 2-(methylseleno)-ethanamine.

This study was carried out to examine the allelopathic effect of the aqueous extract of Hypochaeris radicata L. on growth of three gramineous forage crops, tall fescue, perennial ryegrass and italian ryegrass. The result on relative elongation ration (RER) of gramineous forage crops treated with the aqueous extract of Hypochaeris radicata L. and the change of quantity generally indicated the inhibitory effect. The inhibitory effect was increased as its concentration was increased. As a result, it is ascertained that the aqueous extract of Hypochaeris radicata L. has allelopathy effect. According to the chemical experiment of the allelochemical substances in Hypochaeris radicata L. by HPLC, there are the differences at each part of plants. However, it is ascertained that there are eleven phenolic compounds, ${\rho}-hydroxybenzoic$ acid, chlorogenic acid, catechin, caffeic acid, syringic acid, salicylic acid, ${\rho}-coumaric$ acid, ferulic acid, hesperidin, trans-cinnamic acid and naringenin. Especially three phenolic acids such as caffeic acid, ferulic acid and naringenin were detected from all part of the plant.

겨울철 농경지 이용율 제고 및 자연경관 조성을 위하여 녹비작물을 재배하는 면적이 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 그 동안 녹비작물에 대한 연구는 주로 파종적기, 작물에 대한 양분공급효과 및 타감 효과 등에 집중되어왔다. 본 연구에서는 토양 중 양분공급 및 미생물활성의 경시적 변화, 잡초억제 및 작물생육에 대한 녹비작물의 투입효과를 알아보기 위하여 수행하였다. 국립농업과학원 구내포장에서 2007년 9월 하순에 헤어리베치(8kg/10a)와 호밀(10kg/10a) 종자를 파종한 후, 이듬해 4월 하순에 수확하여 토양에 환원하였다. 질소공급량은 화학비료(15.2kgN/10a) 대비 헤어리베치(32.2kg/10a, 212%), 호밀(9.2kg/10a, 60%) 및 헤어리베치+호밀(15.5kg/10a, 102%)로 헤어리베치의 질소공급효과가 매우 높았다. 토양 무기태질소 함량은 녹비 처리 후 30일경에 최대에 도달하였으나, 호밀 처리구는 조사기간 동안 큰 변화가 없었다. 토양 유기물 함량의 변화는 시험 전(10DBI)과 비교하여 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 녹비환원 후 10일경에 일시적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였는데 이는 녹비환원 후 토양경운에 의한 영향으로 판단되며, 무기태질소와는 달리 호밀처리구의 유기물함량이 지속적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 토양 탄수화물(수용성 당)은 시험 전에 가장 높았으며, 시간의 경과와 함께 서서히 감소되는 양상을 보였으며 토양 미생물탄소 및 미생물질소의 양은 녹비처리구가 화학비료 처리구에 비해 높았으며 녹비환원 후 50일 까지는 증가하다가 그 이후에 감소하는 경향을 보였는데 이는 토양의 무기태질소 및 탄수화물과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 녹비처리 후 85일경에 잡초발생량을 조사한 결과, 화학비료 처리구에 비하여 헤어리베치 처리구는 40%, 호밀 처리구는 68%, 헤어리베치+호밀 처리구는 40%의 잡초억제효과가 있었다. 고추과의 수량은 화학비료 처리구(702kg/10a)>헤어리베치(694kg>10a)>헤어리베치+호밀(361kg/10a)>호밀(179kg/10a)의 순으로 나타났다.

Algal blooms of cyanobacteria (blue-green Algae) due to the eutrophication of rivers and lakes can cause not only the damage by its biological toxins but also the economic loss in drinking water treatment. The natural algae coagulant, a commercial product known as W.H. containing the algicidal and allelopathic material derived from oak, can control algal problems proactively through the coagulation flotation process. However, because there have been no applications of the process for pre-treatment in drinking water plants, we could find no report on the optimum injection dose of W.H.. In this study, we have conducted several sets of jar-tests while changing W.H. dose and concentration of chl-a for (1) Han-river samples and (2) subcultured cyanobacteria samples, and monitored the removal mechanisms of algae intensively. Based on these jar-test results, two linear equations with variables of chl-a and turbidity have been deduced to predict the optimal W.H. dose after the multiple regression analysis using IBM-SPSS. Also, prototypes of automatic control logic have been suggested to inject the optimal W.H. dose promptly in response to the variation of water quality.

This experiments were conducted to determine the effect of allelopathy and autotoxicity in alfalfa. Among several alfalfa cultivars, the substances exudated from seven cultivars including Medicago sativa, c.v. Luna, Sparta, Magnum, Husky, Milkmaker, Challenger and Anchor inhibited the germination and seedling growth of radish, ranging from 60 to 80％. When allelopathic substances were exudated from the soil of the alfalfa-cultivated field, the increased levels of substance retarded the germination rate and seedling growth of radish and alfalfa. The inhibition rate was about 80％, compared with that of control. Thus, this study indicates that the allelopathy and autotoxicity substances of alfalfa influenced the germination and seedling growth in alfalfa itself and radish. When allelopathic substances were analysed by using gas chromatograph, several kinds of phenol compounds were detected as follows; Salicylic acid, hydroxybenzoic acid, vanillic acid, syringic acid, coumaric acid, and ferulic acid.

Hypochaeris radicata, native to Europe and Eurasia, is a perennial plant of the Asteraceae family. In Korea, H. radicata was reported in 1992, mainly in Jeju Island, and gradually spreading to the inland. It overwinters in the form of a rosette and blooms yellow flowers from May to June. H. radicata propagates by seeds and rhizomes. The germination temperature of the seed is 15/20℃ (day/night), and the rhizome forms a new plant at a depth of 2-3cm in the soil. The roots of H. radicata secrete allelochemicals that inhibit the development of other plants. Some use it as a salad or forage substitute but to a limited extent. However, extensive research on ampicillin contained in H. radicata has been conducted, and its anticancer and anti-inflammatory effects have been recognized. There are only a few methods to manage H. radicata both culturally and physically. In orchards, soil treatments such as oxyfluorfen and diclobenil, or nonselective foliar treatments such as glufosinate-ammonium and glyphosate are used. Notably, there are no known biological control agents.
