The field experiment for field desalinization by precultivation of orchard crops were carried out to evaluate relationship between the varieation of chlorine contents of soil and crop uptake in the upland diverted from paddy field. After harvest of grass crops, soil samples were taken for analysis of chlorine contents of soil layers. Regardless of kinds of grass crops cutivated, contents of soil chlorine were decreased comparing to non-crop plot. Chlorine content in plant harvested at just before the flowering stage was much higher than that of after flowering. Chlorine uptake and dry matter were increased in order of Italian ryegrass, Perennial ryegrass, and Sudan grass. Positive correlations were showed between chlorine uptake and dry matter. The content of soil chlorine decreased by higher yield of dry matter.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of pelleted-Italian Ryegrass (IRG) as a source of fiber on reproduction performance in pregnant sows. A total of 24 pregnant sows were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments, which was given a corn-soybean diet with 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% pelleted-IRG from 105 days prepartum to 7 days postpartum. During experimental period, the sows fed the IRG supplemented diet showed the lower feed intake than the sows fed the control diet (p<0.05). The changes of body weight in sows from initial to pre- and/or post-partum was significantly smaller in sows fed the IRG supplemented diet than control group. It is thought that the lower weight gain in IRG supplemented groups is caused by low feed intake. Although there was no significant difference, sows fed the IRG supplemented diet tended to increase the litter size and birth weight in piglets compared with sows fed the control diet. This result suggests that the dietary supplementation of IRG has the positive effects to improve the reproductive performance in sows. But, the excessive feeding of IRG to sows might cause to retard the days of return to estrus, and decrease the contents of solid, milk protein, and milk fat in colostrum. Thus, the addition of about 10% IRG is desirable to increase the reproductive performance. Meanwhile, the feeding energy diet is better effective than feeding the fiber diets to improve overall productivity in sows after postpartum.

This study was conducted at the National Institute of Animal Science from 2010 to 2017. As a variety that is sufficiently productive in the southern regions to replace imported varieties and sufficiently cold-resistant to be cultivated in the central-northern regions, "IR605" was developed and submitted to the Korea Seed & Variety Service in an application for protection. The novel Italian ryegrass variety "IR605" is a diploid with green leaves, a semi-erect growth habit before wintering, and an erect growth habit in the spring. "IR605" was a medium maturing variety with a heading date of around May 15th. "IR605" had a flag leaf width of 9.9 mm, flag leaf length of 26.7 cm, and plant length on the heading date of 100 cm, which was approximately 5 cm longer than "Kowinearly." The stem thickness and ear length of "IR605" are 0.08 mm thicker and 0.5 cm longer than those of "Kowinearly", respectively. The cold-resistance of "IR605" was weaker than that of "Kowinearly", but strong enough to be cultivated in Pyeongchang, Gangwon province. The dry matter yield of "IR605" (9,308 kg/hectare) was 20% higher than that of "Kowinearly", which was further pronounced in the southern region of Haenam, where there was a 52% increased (p < 0.05). The in vitro dry matter digestibility of "IR605" was 68.4% at which was slightly higher than that of "Kowinearly", The total digestible nutrients was 58.5%, which was slightly lower than "Kowinearly". Overall, the feed quality characteristics of "IR605" were similar to those of "Kowinearly".

Several regenerated plants were obtained from anther culture of the hybrid lines of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) X Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.). When the anthers of the hybrid plants were incubated for 20 days on callus induction medium, MS medium containing 30 g/$\ell$ of sucrose, 2 mg/$\ell$ of NAA and 1 mg/$\ell$ of kinetin, their calli were induced. The mean ratio of callus induction was 11.6 percent, and the mean of callus weight was 9.1 mg/callus/anther. When the calli of the hybrid plants were incubated for 50 days on plant regeneration medium, MS medium containing 30 g/$\ell$ of sucrose, 1 mg/$\ell$ of NAA and 2 mg/$\ell$ of kinetin, the hybrid plants were regenerated. The mean ratio of plant regeneration was 27.1 percent and line Hyb-1 showed highest regenerabillity with the frequency of 30.2 percent.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the selection of regional double cropping system for production of organic forage in southern region of Korea. The species of forage crop used in this experiment were com, sorghum$\times$sudangrass hybrid and japanese millet for summer crops and rye and Italian. ryegrass for winter crops. In organic cultivation condition, sorghum$\times$sudangrass hybrid showed higher DM (dry matter) and TDN (total digestible nutrient) yield than that of com. Dry matter yield of com which cultivated in organic condition decreased to about 35% that of control because of weed. In winter crops, DM and TDN yield of rye is similar to that of Italian ryegrass. We could not find out the difference of nutrient value between each treatments. It means that the amount of nutrient is affected by DM productivity of each crop. The result of this study indicated that sorghum$\times$sudangrass hybrid (summer crop) and rye (winter crop), sorghum$\times$sudangrass hybrid (summer crop) and Italian ryegrass (winter crop) cropping system could be recommended as producing high yield of organic forage in southern region of Korea.

This study was conducted to find out the suitable NaCl concentration and temperature for investigating the varietal difference of salinity tolerance in Italian ryegrass. Seeds of 20 cultivars including 9 diploid and 11 tetraploid were exposed to eight levels of NaCl concentration ranging from 0 to 350mM under three temperature levels of 15, 20 and $25^{\circ}C$. The NaCl concentration(C50%) inhibited germination of 50% of the viable seeds for the cultivars at 15$^{\circ}C$ was 354mM, and those at 2$0^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ were 342mM and 325mM, respectively. There were significant correlations among C50% at three levels of temperature, and correlation coefficient for C50% between 2$0^{\circ}C$ and 15$^{\circ}C$ was higher than that between $25^{\circ}C$ and 15$^{\circ}C$ or 2$0^{\circ}C$. C50% was positively correlated only with germination speed at 10 days after sowing when the plants were exposed to 350mM NaCl at 2$0^{\circ}C$. For the germination speed at 10 days after sowing in 350mM NaCl at 2$0^{\circ}C$, the cultivars used could be classified into three groups. Wase Aoba, Bettina, E. K -11, Tetrone, Lira Sand, Tetra Florum and Billiken belonged to the tolerant group, and Tuchi Was, Wase Yutaka, Sakura Wase, Magnolia, Limella and Delita were as the semi-susceptible group, and Atalja, Barmultra, Ajax, Liberta, LM-16, Elving and Wilo were as the susceptible group.
