In order to investigate the effect of sowing dates on some agronomical characters and yield of corn in southern part of Korea. a field experiment was carried out at Gyeongnam Provincial Livestock Breeding Station in chinju. Single cross hybrid corn (cv. Suwon #19) was sown from April 13 to June 2 with five-day interval in 1984 and 1984. The relationship between herbage and grain yield and various meterological measurements was evaluated. As the sowing dates were delayed. the days from sowing to seedling emergence were shortened, as more closely affected by the soil temperature at seedling emergence. growth period and was dependent on precipitation and temperature during the growth period. Based on the relationship between herbege dry matter yield of corn and soil temperature at seedling emergence, the estimated critical sowing date for corn in the southern Korea was March 23${\pm}$3.6 days.

Reforestation is one of the most important ways to reduce erosion soil. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of jellyfish soil amendment on seedling growth for reforestation. 100g jellyfish soil amendment was applied into planting hole for the purpose of improvement of the Chamaecyparis obtusa seedling growth. Results showed that during growing period, mortality were 4.4% for the fertilized group and 8.3% for control group. The seedling average height and root diameter were 95.0 cm and 1.07 cm in fertilized group and 40.6 cm and 0.74 cm in control group. The fertilized group was found to be superior (by 1 to 5%) to control group in terms of mortality rate, seedlings height, and root diameter. The positive growth of the fertilized group can be due the increase in soil moisture and the higher availability of nutrients to the plants from jellyfish fertilizer.

This study was carried out to provide basic data for spreading rice direct seeding by inducing stabilization of seedlings, yield and quality according to sowing times in rice direct seeding cultivation. In 2016, 'Sukwang' was seeded 3 times by 10 days interval on May. 10, 20, 30 and 6kg/10ha of seeding rate respectively in Iksan. In summary, the number of rice seedling establishment was higher than the optimum seedling establishment level at all sowing periods and the seeding rate was better as the sowing period was delayed. Weed development by sowing was the highest at early sowing, May 10, and decreased at late sowing. Heading dates were delayed by 3days for sowing on May 10, 7days for sowing on May 20, and 11 days on sowing on May 30. Rice yield increased with the delay sowing time and compared to the transplanting. It was 84% in sowing on May 10, 94% in sowing on May 20, and 99% in sowing on May 30. In addition, head rice ratio and head rice yield increased according to delayed of seedling.

This experiment was carried out to study the influence of temperature on the growth rate and nutrient uptake of tobacco seedlings grown on neutralized charcoal bed during temporary transplanting. The highest growth rate was obtained at tile temperature of 26-22-$l8^{\circ}C$, probably due to fast establishment of roots in the soil. Seedling growth was better in neutralized charcoal bed than in chaffy charcoal bed at each temperature. Days required for fresh weight to reach 20g/10p1ants were shortened by 9~12days as the temperature increased from 18-14-$l0^{\circ}C$ to 26-22-$l8^{\circ}C$. Compared with chaffy charcoal bed, days required for fresh weight to reach 20g/10 plants with neutralized charcoal bed were shortened by about 5 days, 4 days, and 2days at 18-14-$l0^{\circ}C$, 22-18-$l4^{\circ}C$, and 26-22-$l8^{\circ}C$, respectively. Three macronutrient (N, $P_2O_5,\;K_2O$) contents in seedlings increased with increase of temperature. At each temperature, N and $K_2O$ contents in seedlings of neutralized charcoal bed was higher than those of chaffy charcoal bed, whereas that of $P_2O_5$ was low conversely. Nitrate nitrogen from nitric acid that was used to neutralize chaffy charcoal was maintained to tile end of seedling period, providing the source of nitrate nitrogen for the better seedlings.

To investigate the effects of sulfite on the chloroplast development, etiolated barley seedlings were treated with 100 mM sulfite solution every 3 hour by spraying during 96 hours greening Period. The effects were determined by chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids contents, photosynthetic electron transport activity, chlorophyll fluorescence yield and fluorescence quenching parameters. The contents of chlorophyll a and carotenoids were decreased than that of control by treatment of salfite over 48 hours greening. PS II Is more sensitive to sulfite than PS I Is. And by the addition of DPC to the chloroplasts of the barley seedling treated with sulfite, the photoreduction of DCPIP was not recovered. In greening with suite treated barley leaves, Fo, Fv and Nlh ratio were decreased with little difference from that of control. But qP, qNP and qR were lowed in comparison with those of controls whereas qE was markedly higher than that of control. Especially, It is Interesting that qR was decreased markedly compared to that of control. The results in the change of PS I activity, Nf and qP suggest that the strate of Inhibition by suite Is carbon dioxide reduction cycle.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of $GA_{3}$ and cold stratification as presown treatments on seed germination, seedling emergence and final survival rate of Acanthopanax senticosus Maxim. Seeds collected 145 days after-ripening period followed by 10 days of cold stratification was effective in promoting germination. Dehisced seeds treated with 500 ppm of $GA_{3}$ for 3 days was also effective in promoting germination. However, seedling emergence rate remained low in both treatment. Seedling emergence rate was higher for seeds germinated in Heungnong-Bio and Klasman-Bio than in vermiculite, perlite, vermiculite-perlite mixture, or sand. After 40 days of cold stratification, seedling emergence was significantly higher in the 500 ppm $GA_{3}$ treatment than nontreatment for both dehisced and non-dehisced seeds. However, for dehisced seeds, $GA_{3}$ treatment before sowing resulted in decreased final seedling survival rate.

This study was carried out to investigate the availability of covering material used for raising seedlings in the rice nursery bed. The pre-germinated seeds of a rice cultivar 'Chilbo' were sown into seedling tray ($60{\times}30{\times}2.5cm$) on 20th April and 3rd May 2010. Polypropylene spunbonded fabric (PSF) and lagging were used for covering materials in rice nursery bed. The growth characteristics of seedlings were evaluated at 8, 15 and 25 days after sowing (DAS) in the nursery beds covered with PSF and lagging, respectively. The plant height of 8-day old seedlings grown in lagging nursery bed was longer by 2cm than those in PSF nursery bed when the seeds were sown on 20th April, but seedling quality grown in lagging nursery bed was poor compared with that in PSF nursery bed. The growth characteristics of 15-day old seedlings were similar to that of 8-day old seedlings. The plant height of 8, 15 and 25-day old seedlings grown in lagging nursery was longer than those in PSF nursery when the seeds were sown on 3rd May. The seedling quality grown in PSF nursery was better than that in lagging nursery. The seedlings grown in PSF nursery have more leaves and better seedling quality compared with that of lagging nursery. The seedling quality was remarkably decreased with the increase of nursery period in lagging bed but seedlings quality were recovered at 5 days after hardening treatment by removing the lagging.

Germination and seedling elongation of soybeans [cult. ‘Williams’] were measured at two temperatures (15 and 3$0^{\circ}C$), three seed water contents (30, 50, and 70%), and with and without polyethylene glycol-8000 (PEG) treatments. A split-plot design was used with four replications. Observations were made from two hours to eight days for each treatment combination. Seeds were soaked with 30% PEG solution with 0.2% thiram at 15 C for six days, rinsed with deionized water and dried at 25.5$^{\circ}C$ for three days. Ten treated or untreated seeds were placed on Whatman No. I (9 cm) filter paper in plastic petridishes to which sufficient deionized water was added to adjust seed moisture content to the desired level. The dishes were then sealed with parafilm and placed in a continuous programmed temperature chamber under dark condition. Seedling growth did not occur at either temperature when moisture content was 50 percent or less. Osmo-conditioning with PEG showed positive effects on seedling moisture uptake and seedling growth at 15$^{\circ}C$ but little effect at 3$0^{\circ}C$. Seedling moisture content increased rapidly early in the germination period and reached 60% at 15 C for 56 hours and at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 28 hours. Seedling growth started when seed moisture reached a critical point of 60% at 15$^{\circ}C$, however, growth started after 20 hours of germination at 3$0^{\circ}C$. Seedlings of soybeans elongated more than four times faster at 3$0^{\circ}C$ than at 15$^{\circ}C$. Water uptake during germination was characterized by two phases in this experiment.

Background: Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) Libosch. ex Steud. has long been used as a traditional medicinal plant in Korea. This study was carried out to investigate the emergence conditions during the seedling periods in R. glutinosa. Methods and Results: The rhizomes of R. glutinosa variety (Jihwang 1) were harvested in the 22, March, 2018. The rhizomes were sown on in 50-cell plug trays. The emergence rates of seedlings at $15^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, $25-40^{\circ}C$, and $45^{\circ}C$ treatment seedling were 1.3%, 96%, 100% and 0%, respectively. Rhizome rot was occurred at the temperature of $15^{\circ}C$ and $45^{\circ}C$. The emergence rates of seedlings in high moisture (HM), moderate moisture (MM) and low moisture (LM) treatments at $35^{\circ}C$ were 99.3%, 100%, and 0%, respectively. Drought damage was recorded in plant with the LM treatment. Seedling quality surveys were carried out at 10-days intervals from 10 to 60 days after sowing (DAS). Leaf length and leaf width were increasing until 50 DAS and the number of leaves was increasing until 60 DAS. Root length was increasing until 40 DAS, and then, flowering occurred from 30 to 60 DAS. Lastly, at 40 DAS, leaf aging and root enlargement was observed. Conclusions: We concluded that the emergence of seedlings was possible in the range of 20 to $40^{\circ}C$. Considering drying and rotting damage, we concluded that the moderate level of moisture is most appropriate for seedling emergence. In addition, we concluded that optimal seedling periods are between 30 and 40 DAS.

The results of recent researches for improvement of seedling stand in direct seeded rice on the dry paddy in Korea were summarized as the following ; a variety to be cultivated should be chosen the characteristics of high percentage germination under low temperature, shorter period of shoot emergence, and better growth of the mesocotyl and shoots. Meanwhile, there was 40% increase in seedling stand at the treatment of removal of the seed awn under using the drill seeder. After seeding the rice seed covered with soil of 3cm depth was better seedling emergence and also there was the hightest seedling emergence at the 70% of moisture content of the soil. In addition, the application of the Release containing GA 10% enabled to increase the seedling stand and furthermore it was effective under deep seeding depth. The optimum seeding date should be seeded around May 10 when mean air temperature is above 12-13$^{\circ}C$ so that may establish more less 70% in seedling stand. Based on an appropriate seedling stand of 150/$m^2$, the optimum seeding rate was 5kg/10a. It was the best in seeding method using drill seeder and the most desirable recommended seeding method was the drill seeder in terms of seedling stand. In order to improve seedling stand water management was more effective in canal irrigation and in drainage at 6hr after irrigation following by the seeding process. On the other hand, for the increase of seedling stand under flooded condition a variety might have characters being better germination at low concentration of dissolved oxygen and vertically deeper growing of the crown root. Also, seedling stand was able to increase with the seed coating of $CaO_2$in the flooded soil. It was possible to be seeded on the early part of May being mean air temperature of avove 10$^{\circ}C$ and the optimum seeding rate was 5kg/10a. For an effective water management water would be flooded up to 3cm depth for 2-3 weeks after seeding. The rice plant grown under the direct seeded cultivation might be not so much strong in lodging resistance compared to that grown under the transplanting and moreover direct seeded rice cultivation under flooded condition would be more weak growth of the rice plant than that on dry paddy. Meanwhile, the lodging would be affected by the seeding rate, the soil depth after seeding. and seeding method even in the same variety. In particular, roots in the lodging pattern of direct seeded rice cultivation under flooded condition were largely distributed on the soil surface so that resulted easily in the lodging. In general, the lodging resistance would be greater as seeding rate and amount of N fertilizer application are lower and soil depth after seeding is higher. Among the introduction of different seeding method the high ridged drill seeding method on dry paddy soil resulted in the lowest in the lodging index and also it was lower in the drill seeding method than in the scattering seeding method under flooded condition. In case of more than 150 seedlings per $m^2$ there was a severe lodging due to high lodging index at the 3rd and 4th internodes. The effective lodging prevention was able to at the treatment of the Inabenfide at 45 days before heading and the Uniconazol at 15 days before heading which caused the shortage by 10-15cm in culm length. Also, fertilizer management using split application of nitrogen would be contributed the reduction of lodging at the rate of 20-30-20-20-10%(basal-5th leaf stage-7th leaf stage-panicle initiation stage-heading stage) on the dry paddy soil.
