Background : The Schizonepeta which is characterized by short growth period is used for the pedicel as a medicinal plant. Its main ingredients are essential oil, monoterpenoid, and flavonoid. Major effects include fever, pain, anti-inflammation, and anti-allergy. There are no varieties developed so far, and it is necessary to develop standard varieties to supply domestically good varieties. In this study, the growth and yield characteristics of the genetic resources collected for cultivating good-quality varieties were tested. Three strains were classified into early, medium, and late life. Methods and Results : The research was carried out in the test packaging of the Medicinal Resources Research Institute (Hamyang) in Gyeongnam province. It was harvested in late May, early June, and mid June by flowering season. The harvest time was mid June, late June, mid July, late July, mid August, and late August. Flowering, growth characteristics and yield were investigated. Growth characteristics showed a tendency to increase with the delay of flowering and harvesting time, such as plant height, leaf length etc. As the flowering time and harvesting time were delayed, the number of trees increased. The selected early line showed 89.4 ㎝ in plant length, 38.3 g grain weight, medium line 69.5 ㎝, 61.0 g, late line 136.4 ㎝, 111.2 g. Conclusion : When the cultivars are selected for the selected strains, it is expected that the cultivars with high physiological activity characteristics will be able to develop the cultivars as high quality varieties and high yield varieties.

Background : When the Platycodon grandiflorum is applied before the rainy season, the increase of the incidence of the Platycodon grandiflorum root rot disease increases greatly. This experiment was carried out to reduce the incidence of rot root rot disease through the lodging protecting method. Methods and Results : Three-years-old Platycodon grandiflorum was subjected to four treatments with no treatment, net installation, cutting stem, and removing bud. No treatment was used as a control, and as a further control, netting was used in the Platycodon grandiflorum to set up a treatment with almost no lodging. In the case of cutting stem, the stem was cut off in the middle of June, leaving more than 60 ㎝ before flowering. In the case of removing bud, blooming just before, the bud was removed. As a result, the coverage rate was the highest at 36.9% in the non - treatment area in the middle of July after the rainy season and 0.4% in the net installation. Compared with the case of cutting a lot of stems, 12.7% of the stem was covered with stones, whereas the stalk was 31.8%, which was close to the untreated stomach. As a result of the change of morbidity rate per treatment, it showed a morbidity rate of 49.7% in case of net installation, compared with 60% or more morbidity rate in case of untreated. Conclusion : As a result, an anti-lodging technic has helped prevent the onset of root rot disease. Further research on how to prevent the lodging of Platycodon grandiflorum using cutting stem will be needed.
