  • The experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of different mulching materials on the growth and quality of oriental melon in protected cultivation. Soil temperature, plant growth and fruit quality were affected by different mulching materials, clear polyethylene (P.E.) film (control), clear inset between black P.E. film, green P.E. film. and recycled ethylene vinyl acetate (E.V.A.) film. The highest night soil temperature was at 20 cm depth under green P.E. film, but was at 5 cm depth under other materials. Difference of soil temperature as affected by mulching materials decreased with increasing soil depth. Plant height, number of nodes, leaf area index (LAI), crop growth rate (CGR), and relative growth rate (RGR) at 30 days after transplanting were significantly greater in the recycled E.V.A. film treatment than in the other treatments. Fresh weight of weeds growth under the mulching materials was not affected by mulching material at 30 days after transplanting. However, it was the greatest under clear P.E. film mulching at 90 days after transplanting. Harvesting time of recycled E.V.A. film was 2 days earlier than that of clear P.E. film. Difference in fruit weight and length, and soluble solid content were not affected by the mulching materials. Marketable yield was 2,426 kg.10a$^{-1}$ in recycled E.V.A. film treatment, which was 6% greater than in clear P.E. film treatment.

  • In order to evaluate the effect of soil salinity and culturing conditions including compost application and vinyl mulching on the maintenance of ridge and the growth of upland crops, three crops such as corn, soybean and sweet potato were experimented by using three or four cultivars of crops in the Saemangeum reclaimed tidal land. Average soil salinity before seeding was 2 dS $m^{-1}$, which was low enough for general upland crops to grow. However, high soil EC more than 16 dS $m^{-1}$ was observed in some parts of the experimented field. In the experiment, it was concluded that growth retardation and yield reduction of summer upland crops might be from severe erosion of ridge, soil compaction, flooding or wet soil condition and high salinity of some parts, and then these deteriorations were possibly improved for good crop growth and yield increase by compost application and vinyl mulching cultivation in the Saemangeum reclaimed tidal land.

  • The effects of slow-release fertilizer, C. D. U. (cyclo-di-urea), vinyl mulching and herbicides in different combinations were tested for weed control as well as the growth and yield of Cnidium officinale and economics were analyzed. Black vinyl mulching, ethalfluralin EC+white vinyl mulching, and ethalfluralin EC controlled weed completely till 60days after planting. When pendimethalin GR was sprayed more than 4.5kg/10a weed control value was $93.7{\sim}97.3%$, so significant difference was recognized with the recommended application rate (3.0kg/10a).

  • The influence of planting density, on the mulberry yield, had been studied for 5 years period since 1982. For this purpose, a hilly land (15$^{\circ}$) was selected and 5 planting density level (926, 1,667, 2,780 and 3,444 tree/10a) were used. Following results were obtained. 1. Vinyl mulching promoted 2 days earlier of green tip sprouting stage and 3 days earlier of shallow-bill stage, compared with the non-mulching. 2. It was shown that increase of the length of the branch with vinyl mulching and decrease of the mulching effect with the higher density of plants from, 2,780 tree/10a. 3. When the planting density was higher, length and width of leaf was decreased sharply, and chlorosis of the lower part of the branch was occured heavily. 4. With the higher planting density, number of branches per tree and average length of the branch was decreased. Number of shorter branch-normal branch ratio were increased. However, number of branches and total length of branch per area were shown opposite. 5. Yield of mulberry was increased for the peroid of 3 years after planting with the all the levels of planting density after that, yield increase was dully in 926 tree plot, and more dully in 1,677 trees plot, while decrease of the yield were showen with density of 2,780 and 3,444 trees plots. 6. The highest average yield for the 5 years were obtained from 2,780 trees plot, 46.6% higher than in 926 trees plot, followed 40% higher in 3,444 trees plot, and 29.9% higher in 1,667 trees plot. 7. Soil pH, organic matter, Ca and Mg decreased with cultivation, especially P2O5, pH, Ca and Mg in the density of more than 926 trees plot.

  • To find out the effect of transplanting time on the autonomic characters, yield of cured leaves and content of polyphenols in burley tobacco, three transplanting time were evaluated. The results obtained are as follows. Low temperature which was caused damage earliest stage of tobacco in early transplanting could escape by vinyl mulching and other treatment. 2. The major polyphenols in leaves were chlorogenic acid and rutin, small amount of scopolin and quercetin were also detected. 3. Chlorogenic acid decreased during curing. 4. Polyphenols content was not influenced by transplanting time.

  • Experiments were conducted to investigate the soil freezing depth and pattern with freezing measuring instruments during 1988-l989 winter season in Kangwon province. Freezing measuring instrument was made with acrylic pipes which were consisted of inner and outer parts. Inner pipe was filled with 0.01 % methylene blue solution and rubber hose to protect pipe breakdown by solution freezing. Freezing measurements were carried out by observing discoloration of methylene blue solution. Moisture content of evergreen trees and ground cover plants was also examined in the winter season. The observed results are as follows: 1.In the land of I OOM above sea level, soil freezing depth became deeper as the sum of Accumulated degree-days of temperature below 0˚C(0˚C . day) increased: Soil freezing depth was 30-40cm at l00˚C, 42-43cm at 150˚C, and 47cm at 200˚C day 2.Soil freezing with vinyl mulching was less developed by l3cm at l00˚C with sum of subzero temperature, by l7cm at 200˚C than that of the bare ground. Soil of rich hulls mulching with 4Ocm was not frozen until soil freezing at the bare ground was developed to 25cm depth. 3.Cashmeron mulching was more effective than felt mulching in the heat insulation of soil. 4.Thawing of soil was done from the lowest part of the frozen in the ground to upward in the beginning and after that it was done from the surface of frozen soil to downward. Finally thawing was completed at the middle of frozen soil.
