Establishment of mechanized soybean production system without herbicide is required for organic soybean production in recent. Effects of mechanized soybean planting with partial tillage between growing rye living mulch, which was sown in April or early May, on weed suppression, soybean early growth and yield were investigated with different rye sowing dates and locations in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Effect of rye living mulch on weed suppression at 40~50 days after soybean planting was high as much as 70~90% regardless of rye sowing dates. In particular, a strong suppression effect on the occurrence and growth of Echinochloa crus-galli which occupied 60~80% of total weed biomass was observed. Rye living mulch sown on April 9, of which biomass was more than that sown on April 27, inhibited soybean early growth severely and reduced soybean grain yield in 2007. However, soybean grain yield was no t reduced despite suppression of early growth of soybean plant by living mulch sown during from late April to early May compared with conventional planting. Rye sowing before late April was not proper considering tendency of weed occurrence in spring because of unfavorable changes in weed suppression, early growth and grain yield of soybean according to amount of living mulch.

A cultivar of taro(Colocasia antiquorum var. esculenta Engl.), Tosutoran was cultivated with planting density 60×30 cm at the field of Kwang-ju located in Kyeong-ki province in 1989. The purpose of this experiment was to attain the basic information about the pattern of weed occurrence and the effect of weed control on yield by various treatments in taro field. Ethalfluralin(35 EC), Clomazone(47.1 EC), Paraquat(24.5 Lq.) fb Ethalfluralin and Paraquat fb Clomazone were treated except for untreated plot and hand weeding plot. Weeds occurred were 15 species in 12 families, the dominant weed species were Echinochloa crus-galli, Potulaca oleracea, Acalypha australis in taro field. Weed control effects were higher in combination treatments than in single treatments so the yield was higher in combination treatment than in single treatment. Yield of untreated plot was reduced to 91.8% by comparison with that of hand-weeding plot.

Field experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of different residue treatment of vetch sward on soil improvement, rice growth and grain yield from 1995 to 1996. With Chinese milkvetch, pH, Ca, and Mg of paddy soil were increased in subsoil(10~20cm soil depth), and organic matter, P$_2$ $O_{5}$, and K were increased in top soil (0~10cm soil depth). Redox potential of the paddy soil with milkvetch residue was severely reduced at earlier flooding period, and recovered gradually as rice growth continued. Weeds were more abundant in the paddy with unchanged vetch stand. The most dominant weed species in the paddy soil with vetch sward residue was Echinochloa crus-galli, followed by Leersia japonica, Polygonum hydropiper in the order of abundance. Seedling establishment ratio of rice directly sown over vetch-sward was lower than in conventional tillage paddy(no-vetch, tilled) condition. Rice growth pattern, however, was not significantly affected by vetch sward treatments. The number of tillers per square meter and plant height at heading date were not significantly different among the vetch-sward treatments. Grain yield was the highest in plough of vetch vegetation, followed by conventional (no-vetch, tilled), live-mulching of vetch, vetch-removed, and vetch-desiccated by weedcide. The whole grain rice yield was the lowest in vetch-desiccated by weedcide.

The experiment was crried out to evaluated the herbicidal properties of bensulfuron methyl [methyl 2-[[[[[(4, 6-dimethoxy pyrimidine-2yl) amino] carbonyl] amino] sulfonyl] methyl] benzoate]. No phytotoxicity was observed when bensulfuron methyl was applied at 3 and 6 g a.i./ 10a while the application rate 12 g a.i./10a slightly retared the growth of rice. The phytotoxicity decreased as the application time was delayed. The effect of application rate, leaching grade, transplanting depth, soil type and temperature on crop injury was little. Japonica variety (Dong-Jin) was more sensitive to bensulfuron methyl than indica X japonica variety (Sam-Kang). Bensulfuron methyl controlled effectively perennial weeds such as Sagittaria pygmaea Miq., Potamogeton diatinctus A. Benn., Cyperus serotinus Rottb., Sagittaria trifolia L., Eleocharis kuroguwai Ohwi. including most annual weeds except Echinochloa crus galli P. Beauv. The effect slightly decreased with lowering the temperature increasing the leaching grade. Application time and soil type employed did not affect the weeding effect.

This experiment was carried out to select some herbicides for edible wild greens, Album monanthum, Petasites japonicus, and Aster scaber. The herbicides tested were napropamide 21.8% EC, nitralin 50% WP, and pendimethalin 31.7% EC. Dorminant weeds in the field were Echinochloa crus-galli, Digitaria sanguinalis, Persicaria hydropiper, Chenopodium album, and Siegesbeckia pubescens. Simpson's index was calculated to 0.26~0.30, which showed that weed occurrence in the field was quite various. Control efficacy in the field treated with napropamide EC 872g(ai/ha)., nitralin WP 1,000g(ai/ha), and pendimethalin EC 634g(ai/ha) were 81.4%~85.6%, 79.4%~82.8%, and 86.8%~92.2%, respectively. The typical phytotoxic symptoms to herbicides were germination inhibition, growth retardation, and malformation.

Cyhalofop/bentazon ME and pyribenzoxim EC herbicides were originally developed as foliarapplied herbicides to control weeds at 4-5 leaf stages of barnyard grass 20-25 days after seeding (DAS) in direct-seeding culture but further possible utilization of these two herbicides earlier than 3-4 leaf stages of rice were evaluated for a field where early weed infestations might be severe. The application of cyhalofop/bentazon ME and pyribenzoxim EC at right after rice emergence and the 2-3 leaf stages of rice had an excellent weed control efficacy with above 90% up to 30 DAS without a phytotoxicity of rice plant and the control efficacy of over 80% was maintained until 60 DAS. However, these two herbicides controlled Echinochloa crus-galli very effectively above 97% but Aneilema keisak and Aeschynomene indica were not controlled by cyhalofop/bentazon ME and Cyperus serotinus by pyribenzoxim EC. Therefore, to control those problem weeds, second systematic application of pyribenzoxim EC and pyrazosulfuron/mefenacet G for A. keisak and A. indica, and pyrazosulfuron/molinate G, cyhalofap/ azimsulfuron/molinate G, pyrazosulfuron/mefenacet G and bentazon SL for C. serotinus at 30 DAS was found to be very efficient herbicide systems.

Effect of azimsulfuron {1-(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)-3-[1-methyl-4-(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl) pyrazol-5-ylsulfonl]urea} combined with eight annual herbicides on shoot and root growth of rice (Oryza sativa L.) and barnyardgrass [Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv.] was investigated. Annual herbicides used were four thiocarbamates (dimepiperate, molinate, esprocarb, and thiobencarb), two acetanilides (butachlor and pretilachlor), one urea (dymron), and one oxadiazole (oxadiazon) herbicide. Growth inhibition in rice shoot was greater with azimsulfuron mixed with the annual herbicides than with azimsulfuron only. The azimsulfuron mixtures did not bring about decrease in growth inhibition of rice shoot. However, safening effect in root growth of rice was obtained when dimepiperate, molinate and dymron were combined with greater than 10ppm of azimsulfuron. Greater inhibition in shoot and root growth of rice occurred with straight chain hydrocarbon substitute such as esprocarb and thiobencarb than with cyclohydrocarbon substitute such as dimepiperate and molinate. Application of the azimsulfuron mixtures resulted in increase. in growth inhibition of shoot and root growth of barnyardgrass as compared with when azimsulfuron only was applied.

The objectives of the present study were to find out 1)the differences in growth of radish under foggy and non-foggy condition, 2)the weed competition between radish and major upland weeds including Echinochloa crus-galli, 3)difference in response of radish to herbicide and weed, and finally 4)the fundamental data for the establishment of radish weed control system under locational foggy regions. The research was carried out by tray in greenhouse equipped with Auto Foggy System(SAE KI RIN Co.) and results were summarized as follows. 1. Plant height and shoot fresh weight of radish cultivars(long skirt, delicious altari, green mascot) were not different at the early growth(8 to 38 days after seeding), but increased at 55 days after seeding under foggy condition. Root fresh weight increased only in green mascot cultivar tinder foggy condition. Chlorophyll contents were higher in all the cultivars of radish under foggy condition. 2. Plant height and shoot fresh weight increased at 0 and 20 days of weed competition under foggy condition. Root fresh weight increased at 0, 20 and 35 days of competition under foggy condition. Above 50 days-competition, there was no difference between foggy and non-foggy condition. 3. Napropamide, alachlor and linuron did not show any differences in plant height and shoot fresh weight between foggy and non-foggy condition. Molinate reduced the root fresh weight at 65 days after seeding tinder foggy condition. 4. No difference in weeding efficacy by any herbicides tested was found tinder foggy condition. Weeding efficacy of Aeschynomene indica was reduced under foggy condition.
