  • Straw and other fibrous by-products are inevitably produced during cereal production and have traditionally been used for many purposes including feeding animals . The potential of these by -products as a feed resource for ruminants is being increasingly appreciated (FAO , 1977). In the future, the amount of cereals fed to farm animals will have to be reduced and livestock will have to rely more on by-products such as straw. The method of animal production can be classified by the major portion of feed. One is animal forage and the other is grains. In Korea , livestock farmers normally depend more than 70% upon grains for the feed stuff. The livestock production system causes the unbalance of nutrition, and results in low productivity of animal farming. In many livestock farms in Korea the rice straw is using as a major forage and the amount of rice straw fed takes 46% of total amount of required forages. Especially the rice straw is mainly using during spring, fall and winte season. However, there are still lots of problems to solved such as harvesting cost, transportation between rice farm ad livestock farm, and quality loss during drying and storage . Therefore the mechanization of straw harvesting is urgently needed to use the renewable agricultural by-products and to overcome the shortage of animal forage. The objective of this research is to develope a straw harvester with new concept which can solve the problems of the quality loss and the labor cost during drying in a field, collecting , and storage. The developed straw harvester is self-propelled machine rebuilt by rice combine and equipped with the pick-up device, the macerater and the mat-forming device.

  • With the decrease of the agricultural population in Korea, the workers who is vulnerable to labor are increasing in agricultural industry because of aging, feminization of population. They are exposed in poor working environment with higher temperature and concentrations of dust, gas. Higher concentration of harmful gas and dust can cause chronic and acute disease to workers depending on exposure intensity and frequency. In order to improve the working environment in the livestock facilities, It is important to secure monitoring data of the thermal environment and the concentration of harmful gases and fine dust. Multi-point measurement was performed to analyze the regional environmental conditions in the pig rooms. When analyzing the working environment, video monitoring was conducted to analyze the concentration changes of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and fine dust according to worker movement and work type. Ammonia and hydrogen sulfide monitoring result showed 1.5~2 times higher concentrations than other work when working in the pigs living zone, and 2~4 times higher than other work when working to increase the activity of pigs. In the case of fine dust, the result was 1.3 times higher than the worker's exposure standard in a specific work. The concentrations of gases and dusts from pig farms are not of concern for acute poisoning in normal work, but there is a risk of chronic respiratory disease if they are continuously exposed. Accordingly, there is a need for development of work environment monitoring device tailored to workers and preparation of alternatives.

  • This study is aimed at identifying the decision making criteria as B/C ratio, IRR and NPV based on the expected benefits and costs of the land utilization and promotion projects which have implemented to improve agricultural structure under WTO system. To carry out the objectives of the study, Sinseok project area located at Dangjin district, Chungnam province was selected. Sinseok project area has 306.2 ha of paddy area with 172 farm households. The project area will be operated by the 33 specialized farm households after completion of the project which will have 20 years of economic life. After completion of the project, farm size will be increased from 1.8ha to 9.3ha. Land intensity of the project area will be increased by 10%. Increase of land productivity and cost saving due to the labor saving technology as farm mechanization will be expected. According to the survey results, the annual amount of production cost savings per farm was estimated 3.884million won and increased total farm income was expected about 43.8million won per year. The total expexted project benefits was expected 174million won per year. The project costs to promote land utilization and structural change consisted of handling charges, and direct payment for land movility. The decision making criteria representing economic feasibility of the project such as B/C ratio, NPV and IRR were estimated 2.49, 483million won and 30% respectively when the cut-off rate was taken into account 10%. In conclusion, the land utilization and promotion project proppeled by the Korean Government under the agricultural land law is considered economically feasible from the view points of expected project benefits and costs. Accordingly the project have to be implemented more strongly under the G't financial support considering WTO and UR negociation which were aimed at achieving the free trade and improvement of international competitiveness of farm products.

  • The objectives of this study were finding out some methods about development of oversea agriculture in Korea. It is a tough task that faces us now. China is a big agricultural country, most agricultural investment country and the nearest located in Korea. So this study researches on the quality of farmers and characters of rural human resources in China. In China, agriculture industry is the basic industry among national economy developments. The majority of populations in China are living in rural region. Agriculture, villages and farmers are main issues in China. From this point, An analysis of Chinese farmers' characters and qualities; general conditions of farmers' knowledge of science and technology, their education level, quality of minds and sprit, and rural public health service situation in China. The result of this study is following; First, Chinese farmers' factors that low education level, big cultural differences between cities and country sides affect the development of China's agriculture as obstruction factors. Second, Practice conditions of farmers' science knowledge and technology are low level, output of higher rural human resources, low quality of minds and sprit and problems of agricultural extension service. It is negative influenced of agriculture and farmers economic development in China. Third, unsociable culture of the peasantry influences Chinese farming in the negative ways. Also, conventional notions of family are getting weaker, it makes connection of the kinship weaken. But, Chinese think that this kind of kinship is the most important thing in their life. Fourth, in the case of situations that the farmer's sanitation and health, low level of the medical service is getting worse than before relatively. And there are a lot of discordances between a planned childbirth policy and personal recognitions. Also, lacking of nourishment makes labor productivity falling tendencies. The medical industry falls short of the standard as compared to the number of farming people. Fifth, in the peasantry's consciousness of the legal system, this causes difficulties to farmers in the market. Shortage of the legal knowledge exerts a bad influence upon rural economy.

  • Soil structure plays an important role in ecological system, since it controls transport and storage of air, gas, nutrients and solutions. The study of soil structure requires an understanding of the interrelations and interactions between the diverse soil components at various levels of organization. Investigations of the spatial distribution of pore/particle arrangements and the geometry of soil pore space can provide important information regarding ecological or crop system. Because of conveniences in image analyses and accuracy, these investigations have been thrived for a long time. Image analyses from soil sections through impregnated blocks of undisturbed soil (2 dimensional image analyses) or from 3 dimensional scanned soils by computer tomography allow quantitative assessment of the pore space. Image analysis techniques can be used to classify pore types and quantify pore structure without inaccurate or hard labor in laboratory. In this paper, the last 50 years of the soil image analyses have been presented and measurements on various soil scales were introduced, as well. In addition to history of image analyses, a couple of examples for soil image analyses were displayed. The discussion was made on the applications of image analyses and techniques to quantify pore/soil structure.

  • Pollutant unit load developed by Ministry of Environment (MOE) in 1995 has been a tool commonly used for water quality management and environmental policy decision. In spite of the convenience of the method in application, the shortcoming of the method has been criticized especially for nonpoint source pollution from paddy field. In this paper the estimation procedures of pollutant unit load from paddy field in the major river basins (Han, Nakdong, Geum, and Youngsan river) were investigated, and some suggestions of improvement measures of the unit-load estimation were made. The investigation showed that the distributions of rainfall, run-off, and run-off ratio, which are the most important factors affecting discharge amount of pollutants, were not similar among river basins. Such differences seemed to result in a greater unit loads estimation at Han river and at Nakdong river watersheds compared to the others. Therefore, it is not likely to be rationale to compare unit load among the watersheds without consideration of such differences. We conclude that estimation of unit-load through an intensive monitoring of pollutant discharge is crucial for better estimation of unit-load. When such an intensive monitoring is not easy due to labor and expense restriction, we suggest that unit-load should be estimated based on the storm-events which is a representative rainfall-runoff event of the area.

  • 동충하초 재배 농가는 누에가 고치를 짓게 한 후 동충하초균 감염 개체를 식별하기 위하여 그 고치를 절개하는 작업 노력이 수반되나, 고치를 짓지 않는 나용 1대 교잡종을 이용함으로써 고치를 절개하는 노력을 줄일 수 있다. 나용 교잡종을 이용할 때에는 사육온도와 균 접종조건을 기존의 방법과는 달리해야 한다는 것이 다음과 같이 확인되었다. (1) 동충하초 생산성을 높이는 나용 교잡종 사육 온도(가) 나용화율 표준 사육온도($^{\circ}C$)보다 $3^{\circ}C$ 고온사육 때 나용화율이 약 90%로. 가장 높았고, $-2^{\circ}C$ 저온사육 때 약 40%로 가장 낮았다. (나) 용화율 및 용체중 : 고온과 적온사육 간에는 큰 차이가 없었으나 저온 사육에서는 다소 낮아지는 경향이었다. (다) 누에 소잠에서 상족까지 소요일수 : 표준사육 온도에 비해 고온사육에서 3.3일 단축되고 저온사육에서 5.7일 연장되었다. (2) 나용 교잡종에 대한 동충하초균의 최적 접종 조건(가)균 접종 농도 : $1{\times}10^7spores/ml$에서 감염을 및 분생자병속 형성율이 가장 높았고, $5{\times}10^7spores/ml,\;1{\times}10^8spores/ml$ 순으로 접종농도가 높아질수록 감염률 및 분생자병속 형성율이 낮아졌다. (나) 접종시간 : 춘추 모두 12시간 고온 다습처리 메 감염을 및 분생자병속 형성률이 높았다.

  • 본 논문에서는 1860년대에서 1930년대까지 비농업직을 중심으로 하여 러시아 극동지역의 한인 이주민의 직업에 관하여 고찰한다. 먼저 이주민의 직업선택과 노동시장에서의 위치에 관한 이론들 즉 문화이론, 분절노동시종이론, 인적자본론 및 인종적 특수시장이론 등을 살펴보고 이들 이론이 러시아 극동지역 이주한인의 직업들 중 농업을 제외한 여러 가지 직종에 어떻게 적용되는지를 검토한다. 이러한 과정을 통해서 기존 이론들에서는 이주민의 직업에 관한 공급적 측면과 수요적 측면을 모두 분리하여 고찰하고 있다는 한계성을 지적한다. 이러한 한계성을 극복하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 러시아 극동지역 한인 이주민의 사례를 들어 이주민의 직업에 관한 두 가지 측면을 모두 통합해야 할 필요성을 설명하고 이를 위해 공급적·수요적 측면을 모두 고려할 수 있는 통합적 모델을 제시한 후 이러한 모델에 따라 러시아 극동지역 한인이주민의 직업에 영향을 키친 요인들을 광업, 어업, 자영업종, 서비스직종, 기타 단순 노무직 등으로 나누어 고찰한다. 마지막으로 이주의 통합적 모형에서 공급적 측면에 포함되는 것으로서는 한인의 농업중심적 성격, 이민직전의 조선에서의 사회경제적 모순 및 한인의 자급자족적 성격 등과 수요적 측면에서는 러시아의 이민정책과 러시아 극동의 다양한 지역적 상황이 고려되어야 함을 지적하였다.
