  • 우리나라는 1990년대 후반부터 유기농업에 대한 관심이 높아지기 시작해 유기농산물 생산이 매년 증가추세를 보이고 있다. 유기농업의 관심증대는 유기농업에 사용되는 자재에도 영향을 미치게 되었으며, 친환경농업육성법 제7조에 따른 별표1에 유기농산물 생산을 위해 사용이 허용된 자재 119종을 명시하였다. 또한 이를 원료로 한 친환경유기농자재에 대해 농촌진흥청에서 고시한 '친환경유기농자재 목록공시기준 및 품질규격'에 따라 제품을 평가하여 친환경유기농자재목록에 등재하게 되어있다. 본 연구는 우리나라 친환경유기농자재 등록을 위한 안전성 평가 항목을 유럽에서 적용하고 있는 유기 농자재 목록공시를 위하여 요구되는 FiBL(스위스 국제유기농업연구소)의 평가 항목과 미국 OMRI(미국 유기농자재 평가원)의 평가 항목을 비교하여 도입이 가능한 항목을 검토, 제안하기 위해 수행하였다. 조사 결과는 친환경유기농자재 평가항목의 국 내외 기준 평가와 친환경유기농자재 평가의 국제 규격 부합도 평가, 두 가지로 구분되며, 친환경유기농자재 평가항목의 국 내외 기준 평가 결과 선진국의 평가 항목에 비해 평가항목들이 세분화되어 있지 않고 검토과정이 서면으로 이뤄지기 때문에 전문가들의 평가에도 한계가 있었다. 따라서 OMRI 및 FiBL의 평가항목 중 국내에 도입 가능한 항목을 수집하여 평가항목 개선방안(표 1)을 제시하였다. 국제 규격 부합도 평가 결과 친환경유기농자재 관련 법규 및 규정의 분산으로 인해 생산자 및 수요자가 자재 등록 및 사용에 어려움이 따르고 있고, 미국 OMRI의 경우 자재를 자체적으로 분석하여 검토하는 절차에 반해 우리나라의 경우 전문기관과 전문 인력의 부족으로 평가결과에 대해 수요자의 신뢰도가 낮아지고 있다. 환경위해성 및 독성에 대한 안전성 강화를 위해 전문기관과의 협의 및 심의 체계 확립이 필요하며 올바른 관리를 위한 자재 종류별 최소한의 담당 전문가 배치가 필요하다.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze for resonant frequency, vibration transmissibility and damping ratio of multi-layered corrugated structures using a random vibration test. Methods: The random vibration test was performed by the ASTM D4728 specifications using two paperboards (S120, K180) and two types of flutes (A/F, B/F). Damping ratio of the multi-layered corrugated structures was estimated using a theoretical equation derived from the measured resonant frequency and transmissibility. Results: The resonant frequency and vibration transmissibility of the multi-layered corrugated structures of K180 and B-flute were higher than those of S120 and A-flute, respectively; however, the damping ratio of each sample had the opposite tendency. The resonant frequency was inversely proportional to the sample thickness and static stress; vibration transmissibility and damping ratio were not correlated with sample thickness and static stress. In addition, we developed a mathematical model of the resonant frequency with variables of sample thickness and static stress. Conclusions: Results of this study can be useful for environment-friendly and optimal packaging design since vibration has been a key factor in cushioning packaging design.

  • To assess the effects of proton beam on radiation sensitivity of the basidiospore and mycelium of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus), the $D_{10}$ values and $L_{50}$ (lethal 50%) values were analysed. By the proton beam radiation, the survival rate and germination rates increased at the dose of $10\;Gy{\sim}100\;Gy$ and then decreased significantly over 500 Gy. $L_{50}$ values of basidiospore and mycelium of Pleurotus ostreatus were over 500 Gy and 400 Gy, respectively. $D_{10}$ values were calculated from linear regression formulae ($D_{10}\;=\;-1/slope(b)$, y = a + bx) as 750 Gy and 1,250 Gy, respectively. Based on our experiment, the optimum dose of proton beam as a mutation source would be between from 500 Gy to 750 Gy for basidiospores and from 400 Gy to 1000 Gy for mycelium of oyster mushroom.

  • Cyclic AMP receptor-like protein (Clp), is known to be a global transcriptional regulator for the expression of virulence factors in Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc). Sequence analysis showed that Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) contains a gene that is strongly homologous to the Xcc clp. In order to determine the role of the Clp homolog in Xoo, a marker exchange mutant of $clp_{xoo4158}$ was generated. Virulence and virulence factors, such as the production of cellulase, xylanase, and extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) and swarming motility were significantly decreased in the $clp_{xoo4158}$ mutant. Moreover, the mutation caused the strain to be more sensitive to hydrogen peroxide and to over-produce siderophores. Complementation of the mutant restored the mutation-related phenotypes. Expression of $clp_{xoo4158}$, assessed by reverse-transcription realtime PCR and clp promoter activity, was significantly reduced in the rpfB, rpfF, rpfC, and rpfG mutants. These results suggest that the clp homolog, $clp_{xoo4158}$, is involved in the control of virulence and resistance against oxidative stress, and that expression of the gene is controlled by RpfC and RpfG through a diffusible signal factor (DSF) signal in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae KACC10859.

  • This study aims to find out the design needs of millennials for flower services amid changes in the environment in which flowers are purchased online. To this end, first, the consumption tendency of millennials and online flower purchase trends were examined. In addition, focusing on flower bouquet products, the market status of flower delivery shopping malls, which are online flower product services, and regular flower subscription services, a new trend in the flower market, were investigated. Based on this, a survey was conducted to improve online flower services. As a result of the survey, it was found that millennials trusted branded products, preferred eco-friendly products, and tended to have strong design openness in improving online flower service design. In addition, millennials prefer natural bouquet designs mixed with large and small flowers to large and colorful roses, which are currently mainly sold at flower delivery shopping malls. Therefore, we hope that this study will improve the design of online flower services that meet the needs of millennial consumers, revitalizing flower purchases, and expanding to new online flower service design research.

  • Soybeans have various applications, and are a major source of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. As climate warming has accelerated in recent years, this study was conducted to analyze the effect of different sowing periods on component changes in protein, amino acid, and antioxidant contents of various soybean varieties. The isoflavone content of soybeans that were sown early did not differ with the sowing period. Based on the results, only the total isoflavone content was confirmed in functional soybean cultivars such as Cheongja-5, which had blue-colored seeds; Pungsan and Sowon, which used soybean sprouts; and Jinyang, which lacked a fishy smell. There was no significant difference in the changes in protein and amino acid content in soybean cultivars with respect to the sowing time. The protein and amino acid contents in early-sown soybeans tended to be lower than that in timely sown soybeans. In most varieties, the content of proline was the highest in early-sown soybeans, confirming the presence of stress due to early sowing.

  • Sustainable agriculture is a potential strategy to enable agricultural cultivation systems to feed the growing population under climate change. Sustainable agriculture consists of environment-friendly farming methods that allow the production of crops with minimal harm to the ecosystem. Early establishment in rice might be helpful to adopt sustainable agriculture with less inputs, such as water and phosphorus fertilizer. Two QTLs conferring tolerance to abiotic stress and low nutrition condition, DTY4.1 and Pup1, respectively, are effective for good establishment in the early growth stage under low water and phosphorus fertilizer application. We developed 'Sechanmi' and 'MSI 1-DTY' harboring Pup1 and DTY4.1 into MS11, a japonica rice variety adaptable to tropical regions, using Marker-Assisted Backcrossing (MABC). MS 11-PD lines were developed to meet the demand for less water and P fertilizer application throughout the growth stage of rice. In the F5 generation, water-saving or rainfed cultivation was performed in different P (phosphorus) content. Irrigation was applied only when severe drought was observed one month after transplanting. There was no significant difference observed between the parents and MS11-PD lines in low P conditions. However, MS11-PD lines had more tillers in P-supplied conditions compared to that of the parents 40 and 50 days after transplanting. Under the same amount of P, MS11-PD lines might have higher phosphorus uptake capacity than the parents, increasing the number of tillers and showing better early establishment. The better vegetative growth stage is one of the factors that can potentially increase production by way of higher number of panicles. Through this breeding strategy, it is possible to attain sustainable agriculture by applying less P and water to address the need of a growing population.

  • To reduce the dose of fertilizers is very important to sustainable production of many horticultural crops, including strawberry. In order to practice the environment friendly agriculture of strawberry cultivation in plastic film house, soil chemical properties of 435 soil samples (232 for loam, 83 for sandy loam, and 120 for silt loam) in Chungnam Province from2008 to 2009 were determined. The average of pH, EC, OM, Av. $P_2O_5$, Ex. $K^+$, Ex. $Ca^{2+}$, Ex. $Mg^{2+}$, and Ex. $Na^+$ was 6.5, 2.28 dS $m^{-1}$, 26 g $kg^{-1}$, 910 mg $kg^{-1}$, 1.09 $cmol_c\;kg^{-1}$, 8.3 $cmol_c\;kg^{-1}$, 2.5 $cmol_c\;kg^{-1}$, and 0.58 $cmol_c\;kg^{-1}$, respectively. The content of Av. $P_2O_5$ in sandy loam soil was significantly higher than silt loam soil, whereas other properties showed no difference between soil texture. The kinds of strawberry cultivars showed no difference in soil chemical properties. The frequency distribution within optimum range of soil chemical properties was 30.6%, 35.4%, 37.0%, 5.3%, 8.5%, 8.5%, and 17.9% for pH, EC, OM, Av. $P_2O_5$, Ex. $K^+$, Ex. $Ca^{2+}$, and Ex. $Mg^{2+}$, respectively. Especially, excessive portion of Av. $P_2O_5$, and Ex. $Ca^{2+}$ were high 86.9%, and 86.0%, respectively. EC values of soil samples were significantly positive correlatoin with all chemical properties except soil pH. In principle component analysis of chemical properties in soil samples, the percentage of variance explained by PC 1 was 38.8%, while PC 2 explained 17.8%of the variance, for a cumulative total of 56.6%. These results were able to distinguish between soil textures and strawberry cultivars. Also, these results considered that understanding of soil chemical properties under using principal component analysis be able to improve amounts of fertilizers for sustainable agriculture in plastic film house.

  • Nowadays, Korean farmers rely more on chemical fertilizers than low input sustainable agriculture drawn from the farm itself. In order to improve soil nutritional imbalance for environment friendly agriculture in greenhouse, we have carried out a relationship between fertilizer application level, and soil chemical properties for strawberry cultivation at 56 sites in Chungnam Province. Average amount of nitrogen as basal fertilization was 92.3 Mg $ha^{-1}$ which higher 2.6 times compared to standard amount of basal fertilizer. In case of compost application more than 30 Mg $ha^{-1}$, excessive ratio compared to optimum level was higher 1.8 times for EC value, 3.0 times for available phosphate, 2.6 times for exchangeable potassium, 1.7 times for exchangeable calcium, and 1.6 times for exchangeable magnesium, respectively. Amounts of compost application significantly correlated with available phosphate (r=0.370, $p{\leq}0.01$), exchangeable potassium(r=0.429, $p{\leq}0.01$), exchangeable calcium(r=0.404, $p{\leq}0.01$), exchangeable magnesium(r=0.453, $p{\leq}0.01$), and exchangeable sodium(r=0.369, $p{\leq}0.01$), respectively. Our results suggest that soil nutrients management for sustainable agriculture was optimum fertilization based on soil testing for strawberry cultivation in greenhouse.

  • This study investigates the changes in inorganic composition and the microbial counts during the process of fermentation of mixed domestic organic resources for the development of alternatives for imported oil cake, and examines the characteristics of mixed fermentation organic fertilizer (MFOF). The effect of the MFOF on the lettuce growth is investigated in order to evaluate the possibility of replacing the existing mixed oil cake with the MFOF. Six kinds of domestic by-product resources, which are rice bran, distiller's dried grains, sesame meal, fish meal, and spent mushroom substrate, are mixed by mixing ratio and the composition was analyzed during the fermentation process for 90 days under moisture content 30% and sealed condition. During the 90 days of fermentation, the pH change of the MFOF was little, and the moisture content was maintained at 34-35% until the 60th day of fermentation, and then decreased to 30-31% on the 90th day. Total nitrogen content remained unchanged during the fermentation period, but total carbon content showed a significant difference on the 21st day of fermentation. It was confirmed that the content of fertilizer composition (nitrogen, phosphate, and potash) of the MFOF was 8.7% or more, which is suitable for the minimum amount standard of the main nutrients to be contained in the organic fertilizer. During the fermentation process of organic fertilizer, the density of bacteria and actinomycetes increased until 60 days and 30 days, respectively, and thereafter little changes were shown, and fungal population showed an increasing trend. As a result of lettuce cultivation test in the greenhouse by applying the MFOF, the growth and yield were comparable to that of using the existing mixed oil cake fertilizer when 100% was applied based on crop standard nitrogen fertilizer level. The use of mixed fermentation organic fertilizer made with domestic by-product resources can be used for use in farms in the future and is expected to contribute to the stable production of environment friendly agricultural products.
