This study was conducted to determine the effects of high temperature and deficit irrigation on growth and yield of hot pepper. Hot pepper was subjected to four irrigation treatments: fully irrigation (FI), 10, 20, and 30 days deficit irrigation (DI) combination with high temperature treatment. Control plants were grown natural environment and conventional culture methods. The plant height treated with high temperature was significantly higher than that of control plant. At FI combination with high temperature treatment, growth parameters such as stem diameter, leaf area, fresh and dry weight were the greatest. The yield was the greatest (2,036 kg/10a) under control, DI combination with high temperature treatment decreased by approximately 42% compare with FI combination with high temperature treatment. The number of abnormal fruits was approximately 38/plant under control, which was the smallest and that of 30 days DI combination with high temperature was higher 3.3 times compare with control. Flower abscission and calcium deficiency induced by DI treatments, especially those physiological disorder promoted by increasing DI treatments period. Results indicated that yield of hot pepper reduced by DI treatments, these results suggest that the growers should irrigate to proper soil moisture for preventing reduction of total fruit yield.

The purpose of this article is analyzing the economic impacts of abnormal climate on fall chinese cabbage farmers and consumers in Korea, with employing the equilibrium displacement model. Our results show that there were little difference in gross farm income, even though there were significant yield reductions due to abnormal climate changes. However periodic occurrences of abnormal climates caused serious damage to consumption levels which had declined by 10.6~17.1 percent with higher prices by 15.3~24.6 percent than normal climate years since 1990.

여주는 몇몇 열대지역에서 중요한 채소 작물이다. 여주 과 실이 의학적으로 효능이 있는 활성물질을 포함하고 있음에도 불구하고, 한국에서는 주로 장식용으로 이용되어 왔다. 최근 여주의 미숙과실에 있는 항당뇨성분 때문에 여주에 대한 관 심이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 재배법과 기능성성분에 대한 연 구가 거의 수행되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 항 당뇨성분인 카란틴 성분 함량이 높은 유전자원을 선발하기 위하여 카란틴 성분을 분석하였다. 여주 과실의 카란틴 성분 분석은 31자원 의 인공교배된 착과 후 15일 경과한 과실을 이용하였다. 카란틴 함량은 15.1∼161.4 μg·g -1이었으며, 건물중은 221 ∼2,097 g이었다. ‘K169998’, ‘K042800’, ‘K170002’, ‘Hwanock’ 그리고 ‘Nockwoo’ 5개 계통의 카란틴 함량은 각각 143.7, 104.6, 103.5, 161.4, 101.1 μg·g -1이었다. 이러한 결과는 항 당뇨 성분인 카란틴 함량이 높은 여주자원 선발에 활용될 수 있으며, 안정적인 고품질 여주 자원 선발에 기초자료로 이용 될 것이다. 향후 여주의 수확시기가 어떻게 카란틴 함량 변화 에 관여하는지에 대한 기작 규명 연구가 필요하다.

Three rice cultivars, Namweonbyeo (early maturing), Hwaseongbyeo (medium maturing) and Dongjinbyeo (medium-late maturing) were trans-planted with 3 different seedling ages to investigate their growth habits and to improve the cultural method in paddy fields in the southern plain area of the Honam region in 1993. The 10-day old seedlings had more vigorous elongation of plant height and higher tillering ability but lower effective tiller rate, when compared with 35-day or 40-day old seedlings. Leaf area index and top dry weight were lower in 10-day old seedlings up to 40 days after transplanting but thereafter, were not different among seedlings ages. CGR was later in 10-day old seedlings, up to 30 days after transplanting, but in 30 to 40 days after transplanting, it was reversed. RGR was the highest in infant seedlings to 40 days after trans-planting, while in 50 days after transplanting, it was reversed. Panicle number and spikelet number per square meter were the highest in 40-day old seedlings, next highest in 35-day old seedlings and the lowest and in adult seedlings up to 40 days after transplanting, while spikelet number per panicle was vice versa. Milled rice yield did not vary significantly by seedling ages, but among the varieties, it was less in Hwaseongbyeo compared with Naweonbyeo and Dongjnbyeo.
