This study was conducted to estimate the optimum application rate of fertilizer N based on $NO_3-N$ concentration in soils for tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) cultivation in plastic film house. Tomato plants were cultivated with and without fertilizer in twelve soils which have different concentrations of $NO_3-N$ ranging from 46 to $344mg\;kg^{-1}$. Dry weight (DW) of above-ground part of tomato with no fertilizer ranged from 28.9 to $112.5g\;plant^{-1}$, depending on N-supplying capability of soils. The soil $NO_3-N$ was positively correlated with DW ($r=0.83^{**}$) and N uptake ($r=0.78^{**}$) by tomatoes in no fertilizer treatment, and negatively correlated with fertilizer effciencies resulted from the differences of DW and N uptake between fertilized and non-fertilized plot. The relationships between soil $NO_3-N$ concentration and DW, N uptake, and fertilizer efficiency were analyzed to determine the critical levels of soil $NO_3-N$ for tomato cultivation. The limit critical levels of soil $NO_3-N$ were estimated to be more than $280mg\;kg^{-1}$ for no application of fertilizer N and to be less than $50mg\;kg^{-1}$ for recommended application of fertilizer N. These critical levels of soil $NO_3-N$ were nearly the same as those calculated from regression equation between electrical conductivity(EC) and soil nitrate for critical levels of EC in recommendation equation of fertilizer N for tomato under the plastic film house by NationaI Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology. Consequently, the optimal application rate of ferdilizer N for tomato cultivation in the soils containing $NO_3-N$ concentration between $280mg\;kg^{-1}$ and $50mg\;kg^{-1}$ was estimated by the equation Y = -0.4348X＋121.74, where Y is the percent(%) to the recommended application rate of N fertilizer and X is the soil $NO_3-N$ concentration ($mg\;kg^{-1}$).

From ^{15}N$ labelled nitrogen experiments on 13 fields use efficiency by difference method was higher than that by labelling method in 80% of fields tested indicating augmentation of soil nitrogen uptake by fertilizer nitrogen. Both methods showed very similar trend among fields. Sulfur coated urea(SCU) and point application increased fertilization efficiency(yield increment per fertilizer nitrogen applied, Fe) to 23 from 15 of split application through the increase of fertilizer use efficiency from 29(Eu) to 50 but tended to decrease efficiency of absorbed fertilizer nitrogen(yield increment per nitrogen derived from fertilizer, Ef) from 50. to 46 High yielding capacity of Tongil line appears to be attributed to the higher Ef, translocation efficiency and soil nitrogen preference index(soil nitrogen increment in plant per the increment of fertilizer nitrogen in plant, PI). This studies confirmed that yield under fertilizer application system depends on Fe which is the multiplication of Eu and Ef and that the improvement of fertilizer management(form, application method and time) increases principally Eu, the limit of which is controlled by Ef that is attributed mainly to varietal characteristics.

This study is focused on the cultivation of seedlings and cuttings of roundleaf chastetree(Vitex rotundifolia L. f.) according to the sorts of soil and fertilization methods. The results are summarized as follows: When roundleaf chastetree seedlings(aged 1-0) and cuttings(aged 1-0) were cultivated in three different kinds of soil- sand, granite soil, and yellow silt- without any fertilization, 70% of the seedlings survived in sand and granite soil, and 35% did in yellow silt; 90% of the cuttings survived in granite soil and 80% did in sand and yellow silt. The general growth of both seedlings and cuttings was good in granite soil, and sand but relatively inferior in yellow silt. Seedlings showed good stem growth while cuttings had fine root growth. In case of cultivation of seedlings with different kinds and quantities of fertilizer adjusted and with granite soil as basic soil, seedlings and cuttings survived in the experimental section where only the organic fertilizer was used as basic fertilization; in contrast, seedlings grown in the experimental section were all dead where both inorganic and liquefied fertilizer were used. Cuttings showed considerably higher survival rates than seedlings at the experimental fertilization section; particularly, the survival rate of cuttings was twice as much as that of seedlings at the experimental section with low fertilization. This study results revealed that cuttings are desirable than seedlings in general rootage, growth, adaptability to soil, and cuttings have lower demand for soil fertility in time of growing roundleaf chastetree saplings.

This study was conducted to investigate effects on the co-situs application of coated urea complex fertilizer in dry seeded rice in Dukpyong series soil. Number of spikelet established in 15 days after seeding, conventional plot was $120ea\;per\;m^2$. and whole layer placement(WLP), co-situs application 70%(CSA70%) plot and co-situs application 50%(CSA50%) plot were 146, 126 and $120ea\;per\;m^2$, respectively. There was not concentration obstacle in co-situs application plot in spite of closing application between seed and coated urea complex fertilizer. The amount of $NH_4-N$ into soil solution in different growth stage was highest in WLP 70% plot compare to other treatment. N uptaken amount was highest in CSA 70% plot as $94kg\;ha^{-1}$ compare to $90kg\;ha^{-1}$ of WLP 79% plot and $82kg\;ha^{-1}$ of CSA 50% plot. However, N use efficiency of CSA 50% plot was highest among treatments as 48%. Rice yield was highest in CSA 70% plot as 102% compared to conventional plot.

This investigation was conducted to know the present conditions of the the chemical components in the soils and chemical fertilizer rates applied in the Yuyu village located Sanne myun, Buan gun, Jeonbug province. Total silkworm rearing farms in this village were 54 and 47 of them were chosen at random. Average fertilizer rate applied in this village was 40.8-13.7-13.9kg/10a as N-P$_2$O$\_$5/-K$_2$O. Farmers seemed to stress too much to nitrogen fertilizer. Available P$_2$O$\_$5/ in soils was below 7ppm (by Bray No. 1 method). However, 47% of the farms applied phosphate fertilizer less than 11kg/10a. The average of exchangeable K in soils was 0.68me/100g. Nine of the farms applied potassium fertilizer more than 20kg/10a and 7 farms of them had the soils contained above 0.4me/100g as the potassium content. The average soil pH was 5.3. All of the soils were below than pH 6.5. Exchangeable Ca and Mg were 3.62 and 0.83me/100g, respectively. The average lime requirement was 269kg/10a. The average organic matter content was 2.55% and for 72% of the total farms, organic matter content was below than 3%.

To establish law-put fertilization technique and increase of fertilization efficiency during cultivation of vinyl mulching for plant, the improvement of soil properties, nutrition efficiency and yields by band spotty fertilization(BSF) using band spotty applicator was carried out at garlic(Alltuiti sativum L.) field in Honam Agricultural Research Institute from 2001 to 2002 for 2 years. The value of pH and the content of total nitrogen, organic matter, exchangeable potassium and calcium of soil after experiment were increased but the content of available phosphate was decreased than soil before experiment. Uptake amounts of nitrogen fertilized by plants were more than in BSF plots($89{\sim}111kg\;ha^{-1}$) compared to in CF(conventional fertilization) Plot ($76kg\;ha^{-1}$) and nitrogen use efficiency were high in BSF plots(42.9~58.2%) compared to in CF plot(34.9%). Also Uptake amounts of potassium fertilized by plants were more than in BSF plots($34{\sim}58kg\;ha^{-1}$) compared to in CF plot($33kg\;ha^{-1}$) and potassium use efficiency were high in BSF plots(21.6~41.2%) compared to in CF plot(19.4%). Residual amount of nitrogen fertilized on soil were more than in BSF plots($38{\sim}54kg\;ha^{-1}$) compared to in CF plot($22kg\;ha^{-1}$) while loss amount of nitrogen fertilized on soil were less than in BSF plots($32{\sim}53kg\;ha^{-1}$) compared to in CF plot($120kg\;ha^{-1}$). Also Residual amount of potassium fertilized on soil were more than in 100% BSF plot($109kg\;ha^{-1}$) compared to in CF plot($72kg\;ha^{-1}$) while loss amount of nitrogen fertilized on soil were less than in BSF plots($14{\sim}38kg\;ha^{-1}$) compared to in CF plot($113kg\;ha^{-1}$). The BSF plots were increased plant height, leaf number, leaf sheath diameter, bulb diameter and height compared to CF plot. The total yields of garlic were more increased 14~19% because of high large bulb rate, commercial yields in 70, 100% BSF plots compared to in CF plot($102.9Mg\;ha^{-1}$). It was found that 70% band spotty fertilization was more effective as fertilization method to reduce both environmental pollution and chemical nitrogen fertilizer in plastic film mulching cultivation.

Effects of inoculation with phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms, Pseudomonas putida and Aspergillus niger, were studied in both acidic red-yellow and alkaline calcareous soils cropped with pimiento. In red-yellow soil after cultivation, the amounts of soil available phosphorus on non-fertilizer and fertilizer plots inoculated with Aspergillus niger, and on rice straw plot inoculated with Pseudomonas putida and Aspergillus niger were significantly higher than uninoculation treatments, but there were no differences in calcareous soil. With inoculation of either Pseudomonas putida or Aspergillus niger, increase in phosphorous uptake by pimiento cultivated in calcareous soil was detected on non-fertilizer, and fertilizer plots except rice straw plot. Although there were no significant differences in soil cellulase activities among treatments, the activity was the highest on rice straw plot in red-yellow soil. The phosphatase activities in red-yellow soil were increased by the inoculation with Aspergillus niger only, and the activity in calcareous soil was improved by the inoculation with either Pseudomonas putida or Aspergillus niger.

Field experiment and silkworm rearing were conducted for 4years in an attempt to reduce phosphorus fertilizer in mulberry field with high levels of phosphate. Experiments consisted of four treatments; normal recommended P application(13kg P2O5/10a), half, null and no fertilizer on each of 3 mulberry fields, two fields with 300ppm and one filed begining with 450ppm of aviable P2O5 content in soil. One of 300ppm fields was used for leaf quantity and one for leaf quality test by silkworm rearing. Leaf yield in the 300ppm field decreased after the 3rd spring in the no phosphorus treatment and in the 4th fall in the half phosphorus treatment. No yield decrease occurred in 450ppm field for 4 years. Yield decrease did occur in the next rearing season after soil phosphate content in the 10~20cm zone dropped below 150ppm. Phosphorus fertilizer should be applied at this time. Though P2O5 concentration in leaves of no phosphorus treatment was 0.18% lower that that of conventional treatment, there were no difference in cocoon quality.

농작물 재배에서 토양 중의 양분을 일정 수준으로 유지하는 것은 매우 중요한 기술이다. 일반적으로 전년에 수확이후의 토양에 대해 토양중의 이화석 성분을 분석하여 일정한 시비 기준에 의해 시비처방전을 만들고 이에 따라 비배작업을 수행한다. 이러한 목적을 위해서는 토양 이화학성을 자주 측정해야 하는데, 기존의 토양유기물, 수분 및 전질소와 같은 이화학 성분 측정방법은 조작에 전문성이 필요하고 현장에서 결과 값을 알 수 없는 단점이 있었다 이러한 단점을 해결하고, 정밀농업형 기계에 맞는 실시간 처방을 위해서는 비접촉형 센서의 개발이 요구된다. 비접촉형 센서 개발을 위해 주로 사용되는 방법이 근적외선 반사를 분석하는 방법이다. 즉, 측정하고자 하는 토양에 전자파 에너지가 투입되고 반사될 때 생기는 에너지 차이를 수량화하여 토양 유기물 함량과의 상관관계로 토양 내 유기물 함량을 측정한다. 정밀농업형 센서는 일반 계측용 센서와 달리, 측정값을 몇 개의 그룹으로 구별하게 된다. 측정값이 어떠한 그룹에 속해 있는가에 따라 전문가 시스템에 의한 농작업 의사결정이 내려지고, 그 결정에 따라 변량형 농작업이 수행되게 된다.
