  • A single cross hybrid, Heukjinjuchal, is a black color waxy corn (Zea mays L.) developed by the maize breeding team at NICS in 2008. Heukjinjuchal was produced by crossing two inbred lines, KBW24 as seed parent and KBW2 as pollen parent. Ear length and ear diameter of Heukjinjuchal was 16.0 cm and 4.4 cm, respectively. The ratio of kernel set length/ear length was 89%, similar with that of a check hybrid, Chalok1. It is resistant to Northern corn leaf blight disease and also lodging tolerant. Fresh ear yield of Heukjinjuchal comparable with those of a check hybrid, Chalok1 in regional yield trials for three years. Seed production of this hybrid is relatively easy because of well overlapping period of silking and pollen dispersal between the two parents. This cultivar would be well adaptable to the whole country.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the effects of slow-releasing fertilizer and sowing date on waxy corn propagated through double cropping without tillage. "Mibaek 2" was sown for first cropping on March 25th, April 5th, and April 15th, and for second cropping on July 5th, July 15th, and July 25th in 2018-2019. In order to save labor, slow-releasing fertilizer was utilized only one time before sowing. The accumulated temperature from sowing to silking was about 590-700℃. It took 65-77 days when "Mibaek 2" was sown in early April, but the one sown in early July took 42-52 days. In the first cropping, the culm length and ear length caused by the sowing date had no statistical significance, but the kernel set length was the highest at 123 cm in the sowing district on April 5th. The weight of marketable ears was the highest at 100%, in addition to soil testing-based recommended fertilization. Meanwhile, in the second cropping, culm length, ear length, and yield were less compared to the first cropping. The culm length, kernel set length, ear length, and seed set length decreased as sowing date was delayed. The number and yield of marketable ears were the highest at 100%, in addition to soil testing-based recommended fertilization like in the first cropping. It has been found that securing yield by July 15th to finish the second seeding of the crop in the central part of Korea is advantageous. These results of this study will be helpful to farmers for the double cropping of waxy corn cultivation and management.

  • “DK 537”has been selected by forage crop breeding team at the National Livestock Research Institute(NLRI), RDA and has been determined by the Deliberative Council of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation(NACF) in 2002, as a new recommended hybrid which is early maturing, good quality and hi호 yield of corn for silage. The characteristics of this hybrid are as follows ; 1. The seed coat is yellow and the mean of tasseling date is 5th of July, included in early maturing hybrid which is one day delayed than check cultivar, DK 501. The culm length is 246cm. It is resistant to lodging because of its low height from surface to ear. 2. DK 537 shows resistance to H. maydis and Maize Black-Streaked Dwarf Virus(MBSDV). It also shows strength to corn borer as much as DK 501 does. 3. Fresh yield. dry matter yield. and TDN per a ha are 50 tons, 16.9 tons, and 11.4 tons respectively. which are almost same yielding level of DK 501. Its percent ear to total dry matter is 50.8% at the same time. Through all these tests, we could make sure at DK 537 hybrid will be recommended as good forage crop.

  • Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merill) is a very outstanding material crop with high protein and oil contents. We conducted this study to evaluate forage value and usability of soybean varieties as livestock forage. Three soybeans cultivars, OT93-26, Geomjeongsaeol, and Pungwon, were evaluated for forage use in this study, and Kwangpyeongok and Yeongwoo were used as check forage corn and rice, respectively. The whole soybean plants were harvested at the R5 (beginning seed development)- and R6 (full seed)-reproductive stages for analyzing forage usability and quality. Days to harvesting of the R5 stage-OT93-26 was the shortest among the tested crops while that of Yeongwoo was 122 days. The fresh and dry matter yields of all 3 soybeans were greater at R6 stage than at R5. Crude protein of the soybean cultivars harvested had a higher compared to the rice and corn regardless of the harvesting stage. Contents of crude fiber, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber of Yeongwoo had the lowest whereas Pungwon harvested at R5 were the highest. Among the soybeans, digestible dry matter, dry matter intake, and relative feed value of R6-harvested Geomjeongsaeol and Pungwon were high more compared to those at the R5-harvested, but in case of OT93-26 those at R6 stage were inversely measured rather than those at R5 stage. In conclusion, soybean can be used as s forage with high nutritive value for livestock. Moreover, Geomjeongsaeol can be applied to develop new forage soybean varieties with high nutritive value, and R6 stage is the optimum harvesting stage in yield and quality of the tested soybeans more than R5.

  • The performance of 7 sugary (su) and 12 shrunken-2 (sh2) sweet com hybrids which are commercially grown in the United States was tested in Korea. The 100-seed weight of su hybrids (16.5-23.6 g) was much heavier compared to that of sh2 hybrids (10.9-17.5 g). The germination rate of su and sh2 hybrids at $25^{\circ}C$ ranged 93.3-100% and 86.7-98.9%, the emergence rate of su and sh2 hybrids in cold test ranged 78.9-97.8% and 62.2-97.8%, and field emergence rate of su and sh2 hybrids ranged 74.4-100.0% and 79.9-98.2%, respectively. In su hybrids, there was a significantly positive correlation between germination rate at $25^{\circ}C$ and emergence rate in cold test or early growth. In contrast, in sh2 hybrids seed weight was positively correlated with early plant growth, while not with the germination rate at $25^{\circ}C$ or emergence rate in cold test and field. Most sh2 hybrids produced larger and more marketable ears compared to su hybrids although there were significant differences among the hybrids in the same genotype. At harvest (24 days after pollination) soluble solids content of su hybrids (24.3-27.1 Brix %) was much higher than that of sh2 hybrids (13.8-18.0 Brix %), while total sugars of sh2 hybrids (21.4-28.6% on the dry weight basis) was much higher compared to su hybrids (2.4-15.9%). Considering germination and emergence rates, marketable ear production, and total sugar content, 'GCB 70' and 'Sweet Satin' in su hybrids and 'Ice Queen', 'Aspen', 'Sweet Magic', 'Bandit', 'Xtrasweet 82', 'Aspen', and 'Cambella 90' in sh2 hybrids performed better than other hybrids.

  • To develop the red pepper seasoning oil(RPSO), corn oil was used as the base oil. For generating hot taste and color, oleoresin capsicum and oleoresin paprika were mixed to base oil (SSO1). Then, for generating black red color, natural black pigment that is extracted from gardenia and kaoliang was added SSO1 to prepare SSO2. To magnify the hot taste, extract of red pepper, phosphoric salt and emulsifier (monogly 20) were. then added to SSO2 to prepare SSO3. This SSO3 was very similar to real red pepper seed oil as a color and taste, but its hot flavor was not enough. To resolve this problem, we mixed about 5% of another oil(SSO4), which was mingled and roasted red pepper powder with corn oil, to SSO3. In terms of above experiment, RPSO was obtained.

  • This experiment was conducted to determine correlation between in vitro protein fractions and in situ protein degradation rate with major dairy protein sources(soybean meal, corn gluten meal, cotton seed meal, kapok seed meal and perilla meal). Five protein fractions were obtained according to the Cornell Net Carbohydate and Protein System(CNCPS), and in situ protein degradation rates were determined by technique using nylon bags incubated for 0, 4, 8, 12 and 24hrs in the rumen of three Holstein steers. Fraction A was highest in kapok seed meal(14.6%) and lowest in corn gluten meal(0.6%) (P<0.05). The highest B1, B2 and B3 fractions were contained in soybean meal(8.27%), cotton seed meal(74%), and perilla meal(40%), respectively. Corn gluten meal was very high in fraction C. In situ protein degradation rate of soybean meal was 98%, highest among five protein sources, and corn gluten meal had the lowest rate at 28%. Correlation analysis showed that easily soluble fractions of both methods, in situ protein degradation rate and digestible protein fractions, and in situ protein degradation rate minus “a” and fraction B2+B3 were highly correlated. These results indicate that in vitro protein fractionation can be used in the estimation of in situ protein degradation.

  • The study analyzed the lipid patterns and fatty acid compositions of serum and liver tissues in groups of Sparague-Dawley rats. Some of the groups were fed with an basal diet, which contained com oil (C), grape seed oil (GSO), or perilla oil (P), and the others were fed with a high fat diet, which had cholesterol (1%) and lard (10%) mixed with corn oil (CHF), grape seed oil (GSHF), or perilla oil (PHF). The amount of dietary intake was higher for the basal diet groups than the high fat diet groups. And diet efficiency was significantly low in the group of rats fed with the basal diet mixed with perilla oil. From the analysis of the serum lipid patterns, a significant decrease in total lipid concentration was observed in the group of rats fed on the basal diet mixed with perilla oil and the high fat diet group. The levels of triglyceride and phospholipid were significantly low in the basal diet group when perilla oil or grape seed oil was involved. The ordinary diet groups showed significantly higher in HDL-C than the high fat diet groups. There was no significant difference among the basal diet groups, whether the diet was mixed with grape seed oil, perilla oil, or com oil. However, a significant increase in HDL-C was observed in the group of rats fed with the high fat diet containing perilla oil. For LDL-C, there was a significant difference between the high fat diet groups and the basal diet groups. LDL-C was especially low in the group of rats fed with the high fat diet to which perilla oil was added, and the grape seed-added high fat diet group showed a decreasing tendency in LDL-C. The content of total fat, total cholesterol, and triglyceride was the lowest in the group of rats fed with the perilla oil-containing basal diet, and this group was followed in order by the grape seed oil-containing diet group and com oil-containing diet group. In the analysis of the fatty-acid composition in liver tissue, the high fat diet groups showed an increase in saturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids, but a decrease in mono unsaturated fatty acids when compared to the basal diet groups. The composition ratio of fatty acids varied according to which type of oil the diet contains. Our finding suggest that grape seed oil was an apparent diet effect on the fatty-acid composition.

  • Effect of water treatment sludge(alum sludge) application on the growth of Korea local corn(Zeas Mays L.) was evaluated and phytotoxicity of alum sludge on the growth of corn roots and plant height was tested. Alum sludge itself and composted alum sludge compost were applicated by 1500kg/ha in the plot respectively. For the fertility test, yield, chlorophyll content, plant height of corn treated by alum sludge and composted alum sludge were better than that of control. No clear toxixity of alum sludge was found. At the food chemical analyses of seed corn, no obvious component variation were evaluated either. Test of pH effect on phytotoxicity of alum sludge on corns showed that plant height and root growth of corns were inhibited at low pH 4 solution. Phytotoxicity test of alum sludge extract which was extracted at various pH solutions, showed that growth and cations uptake inhibition were found the more serious the lower the pH. Plant height and root growth injury were serious at higher than 100ppm Al content solution.

  • Changes of starch, soluble sugar and activities of amylase in germinating maize seeds were studied with comparison of germinating barley seeds. The starch in the endosperm was degraded slowly during the course of germination, and starch degradation of maize seeds compared with barley seed was found after 2 or 4 days of seed germination. There was a transient decline of soluble sugar come-its in ungerminated seed at early stages, followed by the rapid increase which concided with the degradation of starch. Activities of amylases were increased with the progress of germination, and maximum activities were founded after 8 days of seed germination. The higher activities of ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-amylase were found at Hwang-ok maize and barley, respectively.
