This study was carried out to investigate about cultivation and export of major medicinal crops in Korea. The results obtained were summarized as follows'Planted area, harvested area and pro-duction were increase very much, but yield was not increased almost to 1993 from 1988. In spiteof, cultivation area was increased, export was decreased to 1993 from 1988. In cultivation area, major medicinal crops were Angelica gigas, Platycodon grandiflorum, Astragalus membranaceus, Paeonia lactiflora and Codonopsis lanceolata in 1993. In amount of export, major medicinal cropswere Ginkgo biloba, Bupleurum falcatum, Cornus officinalis, Asarum sieboldii in 1993.

It was indicated that natural fiber crops Ln Korea have been major crops, such as cotton, flax, ramie and Kenaf. The major varieties andagronomic characterics are summarized as follows. Cotton variety, Mokpo 6 is long fiber length and, is high lint yield, flax variety, Wiera is hiTh amount of dry stem and grains weiTht. On the other hand, kenaf variety, Suweon 2 is high dry fiber weight and fiher ratio.

This study was conducted to investigate cropping system using paddy field in 152 cities and counties of Korea. Out of the 152 cities and counties, 106 regions responded(70%). The number of cultivated crops in 2 and 3 cropping system using paddy field was 48 crops. Among these, 35 crops were cultivated in winter and spring, 27 crops were cultivated in summer and fall. There were 33 crops in paddy field after cultivating rice. Among these, 11 crops were cultivated in spring and 26 crops were in fall-winter. There were 44 crops in paddy field without cultivating rice. Among these, 19 crops were cultivated in spring, 27 crops were in summer, 15 crops were in fall. Total cropping systems in Korea were 138 types, 2 cropping system were 119, among them outdoor crops were 77, using facility crops were 42, and 3 cropping system crops were 19. Cropping system of Jeonbuk province was 45 types and it was the most in Korea. Cropping systems of southern area were more various than those of middle-northern area in Korea.

This study was conducted to monitor the residue of the herbicide butachlor in major crops. The residue monitoring covered 106 samples of rice, barley, garlic, onion, and strawberry colledted from markets of intensive cultivation area including Kwangju, Daegu, and Pusan. The residue levels in 27 sample of polished rice produced by applying the herbicide were below the detection limits adopted analytical method. The residue levels in 21 sample of garlic, 18 sample of onion, and 18 sample of strawberry which were succeeding crops after paddy rice were also below the detection limits. In consequent, all the samples resulted safe status in terms of the butachlor residue level in agricultural produce.

The production of bio-energy crops is a major research project in the emphasizing the "low carbon green growth" strategy. For this, the possibility of the introduction of the new energy crops improve the agricultural income from fanning must be diagnosed. This study describes the level of agricultural income per unit area by cropping system based on the income of crops in the field. Especially, we have chosen the southern part attracting the attention in the possible area of the bio-energy crop production. This study consists of five chapters. Chapter I is the introduction. Chapter II is on the status of the southern part cropping system and the analysis of the economic value. Chapter III is on the economic value analysis introducing new bio-energy crops. Chapter IV is on the comparative analysis for the economic value of the croping system introducing new bio-energy crops. Chapter V is the conclusion.

The coexistence policy of GM and non-GM crops is still on the debates in EU since “the recommendation on guidelines for the development of national strategies and best practices to ensure the coexistence of GM crops with conventional and organic farming” has been reported in 2003. The major issues are maximum tolerance level of GMO admixture and minimum isolation distances of GM fields with others including conventional, organic and seeds production. Majority of member states in EU proposed that the tolerance level of GMO admixture must be more strictly controlled, in particular in the fields for organic crops and seeds production. To this end, it was proposed that minimum isolation distances to segregate GM crops from fields with organic crops and seeds production need to be further extended than those of conventional crops since cross pollination with other crops adjacent GM fields is known as the most prevalent source for GMO contamination. In these circumstances, it is strongly suggested that the current legislations need to be revised including the minimum isolation distances of fields for each species before field cultivation for a commercial GM crop is approved for the first time in South Korea.

For organic farming, green manure crops such as leguminous forages and barley have been broadly used to improve soil fertility and soil physical and chemical properties by repeatedly cutting and mulching them directly as winter crop in the field in the rotation. In this investigation we selected 78 agricultural farm corporations as well as individual organic farmhouses related to crop rotation from greenmanure crops to main crops in order to analyze the relationship of cropping system between main crops and green manure crops. The results showed that the green manure crops were divided into two groups as leguminous and nonleguminous crops, representing that those are limited to specific climate and farming systems of regions. Also the 10 or less green manure crops including sudangrass, hairyvetch, italian ryegrass, sorghun, buckwheat, oat, pea, rye, clover, and canola which belong to leguminous crops which are presently cultivated from the organic farmhouses within the rotational crop system. We also confirmed that the major main crops are sweet potato, soybean, corn, tobacco, spinach from usage frequency analyzed by NetMiner H 2.6 which was used to estimate the rotational cropping system among the green manure crops and main crops.

We analyzed the landuse change, quantify the area covered by majors food crops (Paddy, Wheat, Barely, Maize, Millet and Potato) and their productivity trends in Terai, Nepal from 1987 to 2006. We used series of area covered by each single crop and production data published by Government of Nepal, Central Bureau of Statistics and Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives. Our results indicated that the agriculture land has increased by about 47% while forest has decreased by 32% between 1964 and 2001 in Terai. Whilst the total cropped area has increased by 19% between 1987 and 2006. The highest incremental change has observed in Potato by 234% followed by Wheat 31%, Maize 20% and Paddy 12% and so on. However, data revealed with very low crops productivity and it showed less than half of its potential except in Potato. The average yield of food crops /hectare /year during last 20 year has found only 3.094 metric tons. Only Potato has gained high average yield by 10.34 metric tons. While others crops yielded entirely low. 3 periods moving average depicted that the productivity trend of Barely and Millet has stagnant while others crops showed slightly up and down and increasing steadily over time. Further study is needed to comprehend the linkage of food productivity in the present food supply to demand and food security system in Terai, Nepal.
