This research was conducted to get the basic information for improving production amount as well as fruit quality by using Prohaxadion-Calcium (Pro-Ca) used as 'Sato Nishiki', cherry cultivar, which is most frequently cultivated in Korea. In fruiting trees, we used Pro-ca and concentration of treatment selected 150, 200 and $250\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. When treating Pro-Ca $200\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, we could get the highest effect on inhibition of shoot growth. All treatments of Pro-Ca were increased chlorophyll a and b, respectively compared with control. Although treatments of Pro-Ca treatment showed the decreased effect on leaf area and there was no difference in fruit quality among treatments. Also, Pro-Ca $250\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, sprayed 3 times, and pclobutrazol ($PP_{333}$) 500 and $1,000\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, applicated soil, were treated to 1 year old plnted pot. Pro-Ca and $PP_{333}$ showed inhibition of shoot growth, especially, Pro-Ca showed the more effect than $pp_{333}$ on growth inhibition. Soil applications of $pp_{333}$ showed less effect to enlargement of tree trunk compared to Pro-Ca and control. Pro-Ca and $pp_{333}$ were not difference in number of inter-nodes when comparing to control, but they on decreased leaf area and increased chlorophyll.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of temperature ($15{\sim}40^{\circ}C$) and the spraying plant growth regulators ($GA_{4+7}+BA$ and prohexadione-calcium) during full blooming on pollen germination and pollen tube growth of the commercial apple cultivars ('Fuji' and 'Tsugaru') and apple cultivars bred in Korea ('Chukwang', 'Gamhong', 'Hongan', 'Honggeum', 'Hongro', 'Hwahong', 'Hongso', 'Summer dream' and 'Sunhong'). Pollen germination and pollen tube growth were increased with increasing temperature from 15 to $25^{\circ}C$, but high temperature over $30^{\circ}C$ inhibit those. The apple cultivar bred in Korea that shows the highest value on pollen germination and pollen tube growth at over $30^{\circ}C$ was 'Sunhong'. The spraying $GA_{4+7}+BA$ increased pollen germination and pollen tube growth than control, but that effect was not show at $40^{\circ}C$. The spraying prohexadione-calcium was not affect to pollen germination and pollen tube growth. In conclusion, if the air temperature during full bloom of apple tree rises about $30{\sim}35^{\circ}C$, the spraying $GA_{4+7}+BA$ after artificial pollination will be good to increasing fruit set.

In recent years the growth rates of world agricultural production and crop yields have slowed because of rapid urbanization but the agriculture mechanization implies the use of various power sources and improved farm tools and equipment to enhance the efficiency of utilization of various crop input. Therefore the current study was conducted to investigate the growth characteristics of seedlings treated with plant growth regulators for the production of seeds suitable for mechanical formulations of soybeans and red beans. The seeds of Uram bean and Arary red bean were sown in 128 well plug tray as the testing varieties. Three growth inhibitors such as 0.05% hexaconazole, prohexadion-calcium, and 0.1% diniconazole were treated and fifteen representative plants were collected from each treatment at 2, 5, 7, 13, 16, 17, 19, and 20 days interval after treatment. The collected plants were examined for the growth atributes such as plant height, root length, leaf area and chlorophyll. The growth promoter was treated at the 13th day after treatment with growth inhibitor and treated with 0.1% concentration of Pomina ($GA_{4+7}$ 1.8% + 6-benzylaminopurine 1.8%) and Nonaji (gibberellic acid 2% + $GA_{4+7}$ 2%). Initially the growth data was recorded to examine the effect of growth inhibitor, while after treatment with growth promoters, the growth attributes were recorded at 4th and 7th day. As a result of measuring the growth parameter of soybean, the inhibitory effect was shown in the aerobic treatment at the ground level at the 7th day after treatment. At the 4th day of growth promoting agents treatment, the stimulation effect of non - treated plants was greater than that of formalin treatments. As a result of measuring the growth attributes of red bean, In the latter part of the growth, at the 4th day after the growth promoter treatment. This study was able to confirm the effective growth regulators and treatment periods for each crop, and it was possible to control the growth of seedlings. Based on these results, it can be expected that the basis of seedling production technology of crops which is necessary for sowing and transplantation mechanization of agriculturle field can be established.
