Purpose: Performances of a tractor diesel engine fueled by three different animal fats biodiesels were evaluated comparing with light oil tractor in terms of power, fuel consumption rate, exhaust gases, particulate matter amount and field work capacity. Methods: Animal fats based on pig biodiesel were manufactured manually and tested for its engine performance in the tractor diesel engine and fuel adoptability in the field works. Four different fuels, three different content of biodiesel (BD20, BD50, BD100) and light oil, were prepared and tested in the four strokes diesel engine. Power output, fuel consumption rate and exhaust gases of the four fuels in the diesel engine were compared and discussed. Results: Power output of light oil engine was the greatest showing 5.3% difference between light oil and BD100, but 0.37% better power than BD20 engine power. Less exhaust gases of $CO_2$, CO, $NO_X$ and THC were produced from animal fats biodiesel than light oil, which confirmed that biodiesel is environmental friendly fuel. For fuel adoptability in the tractor, biodiesel engine tractor showed its fuel competitiveness comparing with light oil for tractor works in the faddy field. Conclusions: With four different fuel types of animal-fats biodiesel, performances of a four cylinder diesel engine for tractor were evaluated in terms of power, exhaust gases, particulate matters (PM) and field work capacity. No significant differences observed in the engine performances including power output and exhaust gases emission rate. No significant power difference observed between the various fuels including light oil on the engine running, however, amounts of noxious exhaust gases including $CO_2$ and $NO_X$ decreased as biodiesel content increased in the fuels. Field performances of animal-fats biodiesel tractor were investigated by conducting plowing and rotary operation in the field. Tilling and rotary performance of light oil tractor and BD20 tractor in the field were compared, in which about 10% travelling speed difference on both operations were monitored that showed light oil tractor was superior to BD20 tractor by 10%. Animal-fats can be an alternative fuel source replacing light oil for agricultural machinery and an environmental friendly fuel to nature.

Because soil compaction is a concern in crop production and environmental pollution, quantification and management of spatial and vertical variability in soil compaction for soil strength) would be a useful aspect of site -specific field management. In this paper, a soil strength profile sensor (SSPS) that could take measurements continuously while traveling across the field was developed and the performance was evaluated through laboratory and field tests. The SSPS obtained data simultaneously at 5 evenly spaced depths up to 50 em using an array of load cells, each of which was interfaced with a soil-cutting tip. Means of soil strength measurements collected in adjacent, parallel transects were not significantly different, confirming the repeatability of soil strength sensing with the SSPS. Maps created with sensor data showed spatial and vertical variability in soil strength. Depth to the restrictive layer was different for different field locations, and only 5 to 16% of the tested field areas were highly compacted.

To estimate the effect of long-term fertilization on metabolically active bacterial communities in a rice field, RNA was extracted from endosphere (rice root), rhizosphere, and bulk soil that had been subjected to different fertilization regimes for 59 years, and the 16S rRNAs were analyzed using the pyrosequencing method. The richness and diversity of metabolically active bacteria were higher in bulk soil than in the endosphere and rhizosphere, and showed no significant difference between non-fertilized and fertilized plots. Weighted UniFrac analysis showed that each compartment had characteristic bacterial communities and that the effect of long-term fertilization on the structure of bacterial community was more pronounced in bulk soil than in the endosphere and rhizosphere. The 16S rRNAs affiliated with Alphaproteobacteria and Firmicutes were more abundant in the endosphere than in bulk soil while those affiliated with Chloroflexi and Acidobacteria were more abundant in bulk soil than in the endosphere. Several dominant operational taxonomic units (clustered at a 97% similarity cut-off) showed different frequencies between non-fertilized and fertilized plots, suggesting that the fertilization affected their activities in the rice field.

The purpose of this study is to measure load data for a 55 kW class agricultural tractor during a harvesting operation and to analyze the required power according to the working conditions. A field test was conducted at three different tractor speeds (1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 km·h^-1). A load measurement system was developed for the front axles, rear axles, and for power take-off (PTO). The torque and rotational speeds of the axles and PTO were measured during the field test and were calculated as the required power. The results showed that the total required power was in the range of 4.86 - 5.48 kW during the harvesting operation according to the tractor speed, and it was confirmed that this represents a ratio of 8.8 - 10.0% of the engine rated power. Also, it was confirmed that the required power of the axle and PTO increased as the tractor speed increased. In future studies, we plan to supplement the measurement system for a tractor to include a hydraulic system and perform a field test for harvesting various underground crops.

Converting the agricultural land-use of rice field to upland has been increasingly conducted as farmers encourages themselves to grow higher value-added crops on rice fields under the policy support. Comparing to rice field, Upland shows different characteristic of discharge due to the slope, scale, and shape of field and characteristics of rainfall event. In this study, we designed the experiment fields reflecting flat-upland characteristics with different land scale, and tried to collect the discharge and load data. Soybeans and corn were selected as target crops considering the possibility of large-scale cultivation and crop demand. The cultivation was conducted during the growth period in 2019 with 3 different field scales. Hence, we have collected the discharge data from 17 rainfall events and the load data for 8 rainfall events. As a result, the magnitude of rainfall events and the discharge duration were found to have a strong positive correlation and field discharge occurred during the period by 55% to 83% of rainfall duration. Besides we found other relationships and characteristics of rainfall event, discharge, and pollutant load and also pointed out that continuous monitoring and more data are required to derive statistically significant results. Compared with slope-field monitoring data obtained from the precedent research, the runoff ratio of the flat-fields was significantly lower than slope-fields. Overall the discharge in the slop and flat-fields shows appreciably different characteristics so that the related researches need to be further conducted to reasonably assess environmental impact of agricultural activities at flat-field.

본 연구는 논, 밭, 과수원, 도로변에 생육하고 있는 식물상을 조사하여 $C_4$식물의 분포특성을 규명하고자 하였다. 현장조사는 2002년부터 2006년까지 5년간 수행되었다. 그 결과, 총 74과 231속 352종이 확인되었으며, 쌍자엽식물 255종, 단자엽식물 89종, 양치식물 8종으로 분류되었다. 농경지유형별로는 논에서 55과 203종, 밭에서 49과 218종, 과수원에서 44과 115종, 도로변에서 48과 202종이 출현하였다. 본 조사를 통하여 논은 쑥과 고마리, 밭과 도로변은 쑥과 개망초, 과수원은 닭의장풀과 바랭이로 대표되며 농업생태계에서 출현율이 가장 높은 식물은 쑥으로 확인되었다. 또한, 출현식물 중 $C_4$식물은 8과 25속 38종으로 확인되었으며, 논, 과수원, 도로변에서는 $C_4$ 단자엽식물의 출현율이 높았으며 밭에서는 다른 농경지유형에 비해 쌍자엽식물의 출현빈도가 높았다. 이러한 $C_4$식물의 출현율 차이는 고온 건조한 우리나라 밭 주변 식물서식환경을 반영하고 있으며, 논과 과수원은 상대적으로 습윤한 미기후조건에서 건조조건이 아니라 온도조건에 의해 $C_4$ 단자엽식물이 분포하는 것으로 생각되었다. 또한 농업생태계를 대표하는 $C_4$식물 중 단자엽식물은 바랭이와 닭의장풀이며 쌍자엽식물은 개비름과 명아주로 확인되었다. 본 조사에서 총 47종의 귀화식물이 확인되었으며 토양의 수분환경조건이 상대적으로 건조한 밭과 도로변에서 많은 귀화식물이 출현하였다. 귀화식물 가운데 $C_4$ 식물은 비름속의 개비름과 털비름 2종으로 나타났으며, 단자엽식물은 관찰되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 농경지유형에 따른 대표적인 $C_4$식물의 분포특성이 확인되었으며 지구온난화로 인한 기온의 상승으로 고온에 적응성이 높은 $C_4$식물의 새로운 유입과 이미 유입된 종 가운데 농업생태계에 나쁜 영향을 미칠 수 있는 외래식물의 확산에 대한 장기적인 모니터링의 필요성을 제안하였다.
