Recently, the interest and consumption of mini watermelon (Citrullus lunatus Thunb.) are increasing due to nuclear family and one person household. However, there's no research for mini watermelon. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to develop standard cultivation method of mini watermelon. The test cultivar is 'Minimi', which is a small-sized fruit, the rootstock is 'Bullojangsaeng', which is a cucurbit line. Grafted plants were transplanted on April 5, 2017, and harvested in early July. Cultivated types were 3 methods, which are ${\cap}-form$, arched, and runner type, and plant spacing were 40, 60, and 80 cm, respectively. The rowth and yield in ${\cap}-form$ was higher than that of the arched and runner types, and the sugar content was higher a bit. The yield per unit area was about 50% higher than ${\cap}-form$, which can be plant density cultivation than that of the runner type. The number of seeds per fruit of 'Minimi' was similar to that of 'Sambokggul', but seed weight was one third lower than that of 'Sambokggul'. The content of lycopene was 30% higher than that of 'Sambokggul' watermelon, and the main sugar content is similar to or slightly less. In conclusion, the ${\cap}-form$ staking cultivation was superior to the runner type or arched cultivation in terms of fruit setting ratio, yield and quality.

Ethylene evolution of leaves was measured in the samples of barley and wheat grown in the various conditions and treatments. The older and stepped leaf of barley had tended to the tendency to contain more ethylene than the younger and sound leaf. Relatively high concentration of ethylene was evolved in the samples which the detecting time was delayed and so was in the samples incubated at high temperature. The higher evolution of ethylene was determined by the barley plant grown in the field and with compost application compared to the samples grown in the pot and with composite fertilizer application, however the flooding treatment resulted in decreasing ethylene evolution comparing to untreated barley and wheat. The prostrate type and higher chrolophyll content leaves of wheat appeared to produce more ethylene than erect and lower chrolophyll leaves did.

Compared with ordinary varieties, the cold resistant lines were heavy in fresh weight of seedling, low in stalk elongation. Their leaf-types were complete runner types, and they were high in wintering rate, and were abundant in the branch number and in pod numbers per branch. They were high in the seed yield.

New malting barley variety" Doosan #8" is a short culm, lodging registance, high tillering, good quality and high yielding variety. This variety was developed from the cross 'Tai Chung 2 rowed barley #1 \times Deba abed' made in 1972 at Sacheon Malting Barley Experiment station, Doo San Fann's Co. This variety was determined to recommend to the all malting barley production areas in southern part of Korea from 1981. of Korea from 1981.

This study was conducted to investigate the mixed seeding of 5 forage barley varieties (youngyang, yuyeon, dami, wooho, soman) with 1 malting barley variety (hopum). Yield of the mixed seeding was compared with each single seeding and variety combinations. Yield of mixed seeding combination was higher than each single seeding. In mixed seeding of 'Youngyang' and 'Hopum' (50% and 50% ratio), 'Yuyeon' and 'Hopum' (70% and 30% ratio), 'Dami' and 'Hopum' (50% and 50% ratio), 'Wooho' and 'Hopum' (50% and 50% ratio) were higher yield of dry weight than yield of other mixed ratios. Most of all, mixed seeding of 'Dami' and 'Hopum' were high yield mixed seeding (ratios of 50% each other). In generally, the yields of barley mixed seeding with malting barley 'Hopum' were high production. The forage quality of mixed seeding combination was higher than any each single seeding. 'Youyeon' 50% and 'Hopum' 50% ratio was more higher TDN content (69.2%) than any other mixed combination.

Annual bluegrass(Poa annua L.) is a problem weed that is very difficult to control on golf courses. There are some reasons that make Poa annua such a difficult weed to be controled. One of these reasons is this plant's ability to reproduce its seed even under stressful conditions. Another reason is its adaptation to low mowing heights. Above all things, the greatest competitive advantage of Poa annua is its genetic diversity. Generally, Poa annua is a bunch type and annual type cool-season grass, but some types act as weak perennials and have stolons. There has been much research on controlling annual bluegrass in golf course turf with chemical and cultural techniques. This research has been conducted for more than 85 years. There has been some progress in controlling some types of Poa annua, but these methods have not been successful on every biotype. Among all of the techniques, Roundup ready creeping bentgrass has the most promise of controlling the diverse types of Poa annua. Roundup ready bentgrass is capable of tolerating the effects of Roundup(glyphosate) while it kills other plants including Poa annua. By using this new technology, we can make Poa annua free greens, tees, and fairways.

Research was initiated to compare establishment vigor, uniformity, rooting potential and turf quality in sods of cool-season grasses (CSG). Several turfgrasses grown under pure sand soil were tested. Establishment vigor, uniformity, rooting potential and turf quality were evaluated in the study. Turfgrass entries were comprised of three blends from Kentucky bluegrass (KB, Poa pratensis L.), perennial ryegrass (PR, Lolium perenne L.), and tall fescue (TF, Festuca arundinacea Schreb.), respectively and three mixtures among them. Differences by treatments were significantly observed in establishment vigor, uniformity, rooting potential and turf quality. Early establishment vigor was mainly influenced by germination speed, being fastest with PR, intermediate with TF and slowest with KB. In a late stage of growth, however, it was affected more by growth habit, resulting in highest with KB and slowest with TF. There were considerable variations in sod uniformity among turfgrasses. Best uniformity among monostand sods was associated with KB, while poorest one with TF. PR sod produced intermediate uniformity between KB and TF. The uniformity of polystand sods of CSG mixtures was inferior to that of monostands of KB, PR and TF, due to characteristics of mixtures comprised of a variety of color, density, texture and growth habit. The greatest potential of sod rooting was found with PR and the poorest with KB. Intermediate potential between PR and KB was associated with TF. In CSG mixtures, it was variable, depending on turfgrass mixing rates. Generally, the higher the PR in mixtures, the greater the sod rooting potential. At the time of sod harvest, however, turfgrass quality of KB was superior to that of PR. because of its characteristics of uniform surface, high density and good mowing quality. These results suggest that a careful expertise based on turf quality as well as sod characteristics like establishment vigor, uniformity and rooting potential be strongly required for the success of golf course or athletic field in establishment.
