This study was carried out to develop new hybrid zoysiagrass cultivar 'Seah' (The application no. for cultivar protection : 2014-22). Native zoysiagrasses were collected from south-west seaside of Korea from 2010 to 2011. Artificial crossing was conducted to develop F1 hybrid between Z2011 (Z. sinica) and NM1 (Z. matrella) at plastic house in 2011. Among the progenies, 'Seah' showed fine leaf texture and high shoot density from the space planting plots at field. 'Seah' showed genetically light green color, with fine leaf with 1.8mm and height to the lowest leaf blade was 1.94 cm. Ground coverage rate was slower than medium leaf zoysiagrass (Jung-gi), but plant height of 7.1 cm was the lowest among the compared zoysiagrasses and height to lowest leaf of 1.94 cm was lower than most zoysiagrass, which may allow low mowing height.

Five parents which showed differential response to thiobencarb and their $F_1$ hybrids were treated with thiobencarb (S-[(4-chlorophenyl) methyl]diethylcarbamothioate) at 2 and 4 kg ai/ha in order to investigate the inheritance of rice (Oryza sativa L.) to the herbicide. In the analysis of diallel crosses for tolerance of rice cultivars to the herbicide, highly significant GCA (general combining ability) and SCA (specific combining ability) effects were observed at both herbicide rates using the parameters of plant height and dry weight ; the GCA effect being greater than the SCA effect. The additive effects appeared to be more prevalent than dominance effects, and partial dominance was recognized in relation to herbicide tolerance in the different rice cultivars. Higher heritabilities in the narrow and broad senses were observed at 4 kg ai/ha. The heritabilities in the narrow sense for plant height and dry weight were 0.726 and 0. 743, respectively. IR9660-50-3-1 which showed the highest GCA effects seemed to possess more dominant genes related to herbicide tolerance than the other rice cultivars tested.

Hormesis is a dose-response phenomenon that is characterized by low-dose stimulation and high-dose inhibition. This biphasic dose-responses have had a long and extensive history in the fields of chemical toxicology, radiation biology and pharmacology. Hormesis has been found from bacteria, fungi, plants and animals, but hormesis in plants has received relatively little attention. Thus principles, occurrence, factors affecting the expression of hormetic responses, and their mechanisms in plants induced by herbicides are reviewed to provide the potentials for crop enhancement. Bromacil, bromoxynil, chloramben, propachlor, terbacil, EPTC, MSMA, and glyphosate at low doses showed stimulatory response in growth. Subtoxic dose of glyphosate increased sucrose content in sugarcane that is used worldwide in sugarcane production. Low dose of protoporphyrinogen-inhibiting herbicides induced increased pathogen defence, and low dose of triazine herbicides improved nitrogen metabolism and increased protein content in some crops. Further researches on potential benefits and risks of hormesis and its mechanism are needed for application of crop enhancement in agriculture.

The physicochemical properties of tuber starch in water chestnut have been studied. Peak viscosity, hot paste viscosity and cooling peak viscosity were 5679, 3146 and 4262 RVU, respectively. In three transition parameters, onset temperature ($T_o$), peak temperature ($T_p$), and conclusion temperature ($T_c$) were 64.1, 68.5 and $72.3^{\circ}C$, respectively. Gelatinization enthalpy (${\Delta}H$ gel) was 4.48 J/g. A-type starch has a smaller proportion (11.4%) of short chains ($DP{\geq}12$) and a larger proportion (57.2%) of short chains ($13{\leq}DP{\geq}24$). The tuber starch of water chestnut displayed an A-type X-ray diffraction pattern showing a strong diffraction peak at $2{\Theta}$ values of $15.18^{\circ}$, $17.13^{\circ}$, and $23.1^{\circ}$, and a weak peak at $2{\Theta}$ values of $18.1^{\circ}$, $20.06^{\circ}$, and $26.69^{\circ}$. Their crystallinity was 28.6% and the mean starch granule size was 21.5 ${\mu}m$.

Herbicidal activity and characteristics of chrysophanic acid were investigated in semi-field condition. At early and middle post-emergence, Trifolium repens appeared to be very susceptible to chrysophanic acid of $2,000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$. However, herbicidal activity of chrysophanic acid of $2,000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ estimated by visual injury to Artemisia princeps was not caused considerable phytotoxicity. Also by foliar application, the concentration of crysophanic acid for effectively control to Polygonum aviculare was much higher than $2,000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$. Herbicidal activity of chrysophanic acid to Echinochloa crus-galli, Cypres difformis, Setaria viridis, Digitaria sangguinalis, Bidens tripartita by foliar application was more effective at concentration ranges from 4,000 to $6,000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$. These results suggest that chrysophanic acid demanded for higher than $2,000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ to successful weed control in the field condition.

This study was conducted to investigate herbicidal efficacy and diffusibility of halosulfuron-methyl+mefenacet in water treated with 500 g great granule (GG) and 3 kg granule (GR). The 500 g GG was been spreading on the surface of the water within 6 minutes, 53 seconds, and it's active ingredient was diffused in the water bath of $10m^2$ size between 30 and 60 minutes. In addition, the diffusion of 500 g GG was influenced by moisture contents, so it have to immediately use 500 g GG in paddy fields when it was been unpacked. The herbicidal efficacy of the 500 g GG and 3 kg GR of halosulfuron-methyl+mefenacet was excellent to most weed species, but showed different efficacy for the control of Aneilema keisak and Scirpus juncoides, that was may be distribution pattern of active ingredient as different formulation.

The Rhizoctonia blight causing by Rhizoctonia spp. is an important disease of turfgrass, requiring fungicide application to maintain acceptable conditions for turfgrass good qualities in the golf course. The experiment was conducted to determine the mean 50% effective concentration inhibiting mycelial growth ($EC_{50}$) value of to flutolanil, pyraclostrobine and hexaconazole to Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IB, Rhizoctonia cerealis and Rhizoctonia solani AG2-2IV isolated from Gyeongbuk province of Korea in vitro. Five discriminatory concentrations of each fungicide were used to detect in vitro sensitivity. The mean of $EC_{50}$ values to three systemic fungicides was the lowest isolate of R. solani AG-1 IB. However, the sensitivity of fungicides to Rhizoctonia solani AG2-2IV were higher mean $EC_{50}$ value of 0.026 ${\mu}g\;a.i.\;ml^{-1}$ of pyraclostrobine and 0.044 ${\mu}g\;a.i.\;ml^{-1}$ of flutolanil. R. cerealis was the lowest sensitivity to hexaconazole which was an average $EC_{50}$ value of 0.022 ${\mu}g\;a.i.\;ml^{-1}$. Inhibition of mycelial growth rate (%) by three combine fungicides using the $EC_{50}$ value of each fungicide was the highest R. solani AG2-2IV. Results of this study were may confirmed in vitro response fungicide of three Rhizoctonia species for control of Rhizoctonia blight in the field.

This study was carried out to investigate the differences in germination and growth of Quamoclit coccinea Moench under various temperatures, seeding depths, and levels of shading and soil moisture for effective weed management. Seed dormancy of Q. coccinea Moench was over 1 year; best results were obtained when seeds were soaked in sulfuric acid for 15 minutes in order to break the dormancy. Germination rates of Q. coccinea Moench ranged from 69 to 73% at $25-35^{\circ}C$ and 26% at $15^{\circ}C$. The germination rates ranged from 70-84% at 2, 3, 5, 7, and 8 cm of seeding depths. In addition, the germination rates were 7% and 13% at 12 cm and 15 cm of seeding depths, respectively, and showed normal growth at the both seeding depths. Q. coccinea Moench showed a high germination rate regardless of shading levels, but shoot fresh weight varied depending on the level of shading as follows: 20%>no shading=shading 35%>shading 50%>shading 75%=shading 90%. Q. coccinea Moench did not germinate when soil had a saturation rate of either 30% or 100%. However, 60-83% of seeds germinated with optimal growth when soil had saturation rates of 60% and 80%.
