  • Damages of medicinal crops by thrips and identification of thrips species were investigated by periodic surveys on major medicinal crops, Platycodon grandiflorum, Schizandra chinensis, Codonopsis lanceolata, Lycium chinense, Bupleurum falcatum, Ledebouriella seseloides, Angelica gigas, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Liriope platyphylla, Atractyloides sp., once or twice a month in Suwon, Eumseong, Jecheon, Pyeongchang, Chyungyang from May to October in 2012. Thrips and their damages were found at all of the medicinal crops investigated, mostly occurring at early growing stages of each medicinal crop and causing apical meristem region withered, thereby inhibiting the growth of plants. For species identification of thrips collected from each medicinal crops, DNA from each individual was extracted and ITS2 and COI regions were amplified by PCR. As a result, Frankliniella intonsa, Thrips tabaci, and Megalurothrips distalis have been identified as dominant species on medicinal crops in open field, whereas Frankliniella occidentalis was restricted to Lycium chinense in which protected cultivation. This study suggests that the occurrence of thrips species on medicinal crops seems to be affected by host specificity and environmental factors such as cultivation types.

  • Crop response to weather and internal water pressure changes is more sensitive to crop water stress than soil water content. Recently, its implementation to optimal irrigation scheduling has been receiving much attention. This study was conducted to determine and compare the theoretical crop water stress index (CWSI) using meterological data and canopy temperature collected from three different irrigation treatments, which were Tr-1 plot (rainfed), Tr-2 plot (50% of daily evapotranspiration (ET) irrigated) and Tr-3 plot (75% of daily evapotranspiration (ET) irrigated). The readings of canopy temperature and CWSI were significantly different among irrigation treatment schemes. The average canopy temperatures and CWSIs of Tr-1 and Tr-3 plots were $34.6^{\circ}C$ and $32.6^{\circ}C$, 0.79 and 0.64, respectively. Solar radiation had the biggest correlation with CWSI (R=0.68) which was followed by wind speed, relative humidity and air temperature. Overall, the findings of this study indicated that canopy temperatures and CWSIs could be further used for irrigation scheduling for crop growth.

  • Angelica gigas Nakai (AGN) is a perennial plant belonging to the family Apiaceae. Its root has been utilized as a traditional medicine especially in Korea. This study was carried out to evaluate the potential use of extracts from AGN root parts as a cosmetic material. The dried AGN roots are divided into body (B), thick root (TkR), medium root(MR) and thin root (TnR) according to their diameter before cutting into medicine. B, TkR and MR of AGN are combined and used as medicinal herbs (MH). The extracts from AGN each root part (B, TkR, MR, TnR, MH) were used to test the effect on cell viability using MTS assay and to examine inhibitory effect on melanin accumulation in B16F10 melanoma cells. All extracts (50 - 200 ㎍/mL) from the each root part did not affect the cell viability. And inhibitory effect of all root extracts (200 ㎍/mL) on melanin accumulation was 12-19%. Especially, TnR showed similar inhibitory effect on melanin accumulation to MH. In addition, DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activity were higher in the TnR extract compared to MH. This study showed that the TnR extract exhibit high inhibitory effect on melanin accumulation and antioxidant activity compared to MH, suggesting that TnR extract has potential as a cosmetic ingredient.

  • Background: Root diseases caused by Cylindrocarpon destructans and Fusarium solani decrease the yield and quality of ginseng. Cylindrocarpon root rot is a major disease caused by replant failure in ginseng fields. Methods and Results: Solarization of infested greenhouse soil was carried out during the summer season after applying green manure (Sudan grass) and Calcium Cyanamide (CC) on the soil. Mycelium and conidia of C. destructans died at $40^{\circ}C$ after 15 h, but they did not die at $35^{\circ}C$ after 15 h. They also died after keeping the soil at $40^{\circ}C$ for 2 h daily for 9 days, and at $45^{\circ}C$ for 8 days, but they did not die at $38^{\circ}C$ for 9 days. Maximum soil temperature was $55.4^{\circ}C$ at 5 cm depth, $48.7^{\circ}C$ at 10 cm, $44.7^{\circ}C$ at 15 cm, $42.5^{\circ}C$ at 20 cm, and $31.9^{\circ}C$ at 30 cm by incorporating green manure into the soil and using solarization. Solarization using green manure mixed with CC was the most effective in decreasing soil-borne pathogens of 2-year-old ginseng. However, the addition of CC decreased the root weight due to the increase in EC and $NO_3-N$. Conclusions: Soil disinfection using green manure and solarization in a greenhouse environment was effective in inhibiting root rot, however, it did not completely kill the soil-borne pathogens.

  • Land application of animal manure, such as pig slurry(PS), has been considered as valuable organic source to supply necessary nutrients for crop growth. On the other hand, little information is available on the effect of consecutive application of PS on agricultural soils. This study was conducted to evaluate the influence on change in soil chemical properties and yield of Chinese cabbage in soils amended with slurry composting and bio-filtration pig slurry (SCB) for four consecutive crop cultivations (2007-2008). Among total application rates required, a basal fertilizer (35%) was applied with SCB or chemical fertilizer (CF). The CF was applied as a side dressing was applied in all treatments. There was no significant effect of SCB and CF on Chinese cabbage yield during four cropping seasons. In addition, soluble sugar, vitamin C contents and yields of Chinese cabbage between SCB and CF did not show statistically significant difference. During the experiment, soil chemical properties between SCB and CF treatment showed similar pattern, however, the contents of exchangeable sodium (Na) in soil has been increased (P<0.05) since the second cropping season because of higher Na contents in SCB. Therefore, the use of SCB as a substitute of CF is available for growth and yield of chinese cabbage while its long-term application might leads to an accumulation of Na in soil.

  • Changes of fruiting body yield and morphology according to growing temperatures in Pleurotus strains were investigated. In this study, twelve commercial strains divided into low, medium and high temperature groups were tested. On the basis of fruiting body yield, they showed best in their own temperature properties. On the other hand, they didn't have any fixed tendency to growing temperatures on morphological characteristics. Thicknesses of pilei were best at $10^{\circ}C$, having nothing to do with strains. Lengths of stipes were increased with the progress of cultivation temperatures in five strains including 'Sambok'. The other strains showed differences on this trait. Thicknesses of stipes were decreased with the progress of cultivation temperatures in other strains excepting 'Sambok and ASI2029'. Days for harvest were extended as temperature decreased, even though the shortest days were different according to strains. Sometimes there were abnormal shapes of fruiting bodies in response to temperatures in some strains. In 'Suhan-1', white cilia fully covered onto the surface of pilei were observed macroscopically at the early stage and then disappeared or remained a little later at $10^{\circ}C$ cultivation. In 'Chunchu-2', their stipes were twisted and bent over $20^{\circ}C$ cultivation.
