This experiment was carried out in experiment field at Hoengseong from March to July 2015 to evaluate the seed productivity and feed value of oats (Avena sativa L.) according to the difference of seeding date. The experiment was arranged randomized complete design with three replications. The treatments were consisted of three seeding dates (12, 22 March and 2 April). The emergence and heading of oat showed a tendency to accelerate as the seeding date was delayed while the number of days taken for the flowering after the heading remained unchanged. The plant height, panicle length, number of culm, and number of panicle all tended to decrease with the delay of seeding date. The seed yield showed a significant difference with 3.55 ton/ha in 12 March and 2.38 ton/ha in 2 April (p<0.05). The dry matter yield also showed significantly different in 12 March and 2 April which were 6.57 ton/ha and 4.56 ton/ha, respectively (p<0.05). The feed value measured as CP (crude pretein), NDF (neutral detergent fiber), ADF (acid detergent fiber) and DMD (dry matter digestibility) showed no difference according to the seeding date. In the case of RFV (relative feed value), a decrease with the delay of seeding date was observed but only an insignificant difference (p>0.05). As the purpose of this study was not production of roughage but that of the seed, cultivation was in the full-ripe period, hence a relatively low feed value. In conclusion, it is considered that the appropriate seeding date for a spring cultivation of oats for the purpose of seed production in Hoengseong is in early March regarding growth characteristics, seed yield, and feed value.

The objective of this study was to efficiently produce forage crop seed of spring oat (Avena sativa L., cultivar High Speed) in Gyeongbuk area. Forage crop oats (130 kg/ha) were sown with a randomized block design. They were sown in triplicates in 2015 and 2016 using basal fertilizer of 70 kg N, 74 kg P, and 39 kg K/ha. Agronomic traits and seed production of oats were investigated to determine the influence of seeding dates (February 28/29th, March 10th, and March 20th). Heading, flowering, and maturing dates of these oats sown on February 28/29th and March 10th were almost close to each other with 1-2 days of difference for all test plots. For oats sown on the last day (28/29) of Feb., plant heights (111.6-122.6 cm) were significantly longer than those sown in March each year. In addition, panicle number (416.7 per m2) and panicle length (17.3 cm) of oats sown on the last day of February were also significantly (p < 0.05) larger than those of oats sown in March in 2015 and 2016, respectively. Based on these results, it is recommended to sow these oats on the last day of February to have better agronomic traits in terms of plant height, stem length, panicle length, and panicle number per m2. Grain numbers (56.3 and 63.3) and kernel weights (1.72 and 2.00 g) per spike in plots of oats sown on the last day of February were also significantly (p < 0.05) larger than those of oats in other plots in 2016 and in the average of 2015~2016, respectively. The highest grain yield (6,243 kg/ha) was obtained when oats were sown on the last day of February. Feed value of harvested oats was good in terms of proximate compositions including fiber contents and TDN contents. In conclusion, sowing on the last day of February is the most effective way to increase seed production of spring oats in Gyeongbuk area of Korea.

The study was conducted to determine proper seeding rate and nitrogen fertilizer level for the effective seed production of Winter Rye (Secale cereale L.) with randomized block design with three replicates by combining both seeding rates (3, 5, and 7 kg/10a) and different nitrogen fertilizer application levels (0, 3, 6, and 9 kg/10a) in northern area of Gyeongbuk province from Oct. 7, 2013 to Jun. 15, 2014. Emergence and overwintering rates were not influenced but lodging degree was influenced by seeding rate and nitrogen fertilizer level. High lodging were observed at the seeding rates and nitrogen fertilizer levels of more than 5 kg/10a and 6 kg/10a, respectively (p < 0.01). Lodging less than 20% were observed at the seeding rate of 3 kg/10a regardless of the increase of nitrogen fertilizer level, furthermore, no lodging was shown though seeding rate was increased up to 7 kg/10a under the condition without nitrogen fertilizer. No. of leaves per plant, plant height and culm length were increased as affected by the increase of nitrogen fertilizer level rather than the increase of seeding rate. Spike length was shortened as affected by the increase of seeding rate while it was lengthened by the increase of nitrogen fertilizer level with no interaction effect between the two factors. No. of stems and spikes per m2 were influenced by the increase of nitrogen fertilizer level rather than by seeding rate with no interaction effect between the two factors. Grain yield was significantly increased as influenced by the increases of seeding rate (A) and nitrogen fertilizer level (B) with interaction effect (A × B), which resulted in the highest grain yield (310 kg/10a) at the seeding rate of 5 kg/10a and the nitrogen fertilizer level of 3 kg/ 10a. In conclusion, the proper seeding rate and fertilizer application level would be 5 kg/10a and 3 kg/ 10a, respectively to effectively produce the winter rye seeds in northern Gyeongbuk province.

본 연구는 가축 체지방 감소를 위한 수동면역학적 기법의 기초자료 확보를 위해 흰쥐 지방부위별(복강 및 피하지방) 특이 다클론 항체를 개발하고자 실시되었다. 흰쥐 부위별 지방 조직에서 지방세포를 분리하고 각각 primary 배양시킨 후 개발된 복강지방(AAb) 및 피하지방 특이 다클론 항체(SAb)를 주입한 뒤 media 내 lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) 방출 수준을 조사하였다. 희석배율 1:1,000배를 기준으로 비면역혈청은 항원-항체 결합 반응이 거의 측정되지 않았고, AAb 및 SAb는 희석배율 1:128,000배까지 각각 항원-항체 반응이 감지되었다. 부위별 지방과 비교했을 때, AAb 및 SAb는 흰쥐 타 장기들과는 특이한 반응을 나타내지 않았다(p<0.001). 본 연구에서 개발한 두 항체들은 모두 항원으로 이용된 부위의 지방세포 PMP와 가장 높은 반응을 나타내었으며, 지방세포 배양을 통한 LDH 수준 검사에서는 AAb 및 SAb 모두 비면역혈청에 비해 유의적으로 높은 세포파괴가 일어났음을 확인할 수 있었다(p<0.01). 이상의 결과를 종합할 때 본 연구에서 개발된 AAb 및 SAb는 높은 역가, 타장기 안전성 및 in vitro 지방 감소 효과가 있었다고 생각된다.

본 연구는 환경오염을 감소시키고, 안전한 축산물의 생산에 기여할 수 있는 조사료를 효율적으로 생산하기 위해 대표적인 하계작물인 옥수수와 사초용 수수에 액상 우분뇨와 발효우분을 시용하여 작물의 생산성과 사료가치를 평가하고, 토양의 지력 향상과 가축분뇨의 자원화를 위해 가축분뇨의 적정 시용수준을 구명하며 단위면적당 한우의 사육능력을 추정하고자 하였다. 옥수수와 사초용 수수의 연간 건물수량과 가소화양분 수량은 화학비료 NPK구가 가장 높았으나(p<0.05), 가축분뇨 시용구간에 유의적 차이는 없었고, 가축분뇨 시용구간은 발효우분보다 액상우분뇨가 그리고 100% 시용구 보다는 150% 시용구가 높은 경향이었다. 옥수수의 RFV는 액상우분뇨 100% 시용구가 화학비료 NPK구 보다 유의하게 높았고(p<0.05), 사초용수수의 RFV는 가축분뇨 시용구 중 발효우분 100%와 액상우분뇨 150%구가 높았다(p<0.05). 한우 사육능력은 옥수수의 경우 화학비료 NPK구가 평균6.26두/ha를 사육할 수 있었으나 발효우분 150%, 액상우분뇨100~150% 수준의 평균 5.24~5.97두와는 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 사초용 수수에서도 화학비료 NPK구가 평균4.08두/ha로 가장 높았으나(p<0.05), 발효우분 150%, 액상우분뇨 100%와 150% 시용구의 평균 2.63~3.38두와 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 이상의 결과로부터, 사료작물 재배에 화학비료 대신 가축분뇨 만으로도 사료작물의 건물 및 가소화양분수량을 향상시킬수 있을 뿐만 아니라 연간 한우 사육능력도 증대하였으므로, 가축분뇨 재활용을 통한 조사료의 생산은 환경오염 감소와 자원순환형 친환경 농산물 생산에도 기여할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

he present study was conducted to provide basic data for efficient vermicomposting of swine manure by investigatingthe effect of rice hull mix on growth and reproduction of earthworms, amount of earthworm cast produced, and its chemicalcomposition when mixing swine manure in different levels (0 (SRH0), 10 (SRH10), 20 (SRH20), 30 (SRH30), and 40%(SRH40)) with rice hull commonly used as a bulking agent for facilitation in manure composting. The C/N ratio of thefeed was 10.19-13.95 and increased with higher level of rice hull mixed, and the survival rate of earthworms during theexperiment period was 35.2-99.2%. The biomass growth rate of earthworms was significantly higher in the SRH30 andSRH40 treatments than others (p<0.05), and young worms were not found in any treatments, but the number of cocoonswas 7.4 in the SRH40 treatment. The production of earthworm cast and digested amount were higher with the higherlevel of mixed rice hull (p<0.05), and the C/N ratio of cast increased with the mixed rice hull ratio, being significantlyhigher ratio in SRH40 than other treatments (p<0.05). Among heavy metals, the copper content tended to decrease withthe mixed rice hull level. To summarize, the higher level of mixed rice hull was associated with improvement in growth,reproduction, and cast production of earthworms, and 30-40% rice hull mix in particular could result in efficientvermicomposting.

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the varietal variation of Se concentration and to determine the effects of selenium foliar applications on the productivity and agronomic characteristics of the whole-crop barleys. Se fertilizer was foliar applied at five levels(0, 50, 100, 200, 400 ppm) and two forms (sodium selenite and sodium selenate solution) at stem elongation stage, the middle of April. Cultivar effects on whole-plant Se contents were small and not significant. Regardless treatments, there were no remarkable effects on dry matter yield and forage quality of whole crop barleys. Se contents of plant was higher in selenate application by 3~10 times than selenite. In selenate treatments, as Se levels were raised from 50 ppm to 400ppm the Se contents were increased from 331ppb to 3433ppb and Se contents were positively correlated with the rate of Se application levels. Selenium(Se) is an essential nutritional trace element, which is needed for growth and reproduction in all living animals. But the line between the requirement and harmfulness of Se is narrow since selenium is a highly toxic element. The level of Se in feeds of plant varies depending on plant species, growing season and soil which the plants grow on. Because of low concentration of Se in domestic soils, the selenium availability to plants is limited and it is necessary to supplement feed with selenium. Generally organic Se is less toxic and more efficiently utilized than inorganic Se. Under the condition that antibiotics use in feed are prohibited, selenium enriched whole-crop barley can be one way to improve animal health.

Present studies were carried out to produce tetraploid plants by colchicine treatment using seeds, seedlings and shoot tips of Codonopsis lanceolata. Three tetraploid plants of C. lanceolata were produced from seeds which absorbed 0.1 % colchicine solution for 12 hours, and 0.5% colchicine solution for 1 and 6 hours from seedlings, respectively. But tetraploid was not produced from shoot tips treated by colchicine solution. Compared to diploid, tetraploid plants had larger stomata, but less number of stomata. Fresh weight of tetraploid plants was 1.4∼3.6 times heavier than diploid plants.

Present studies were carried out to produce tetraploid plants by colchicine treatment using seeds, seedlings and shoot tips of Platycodon grandiflorum in Campanulaceae. The most successful colchicine treatment for tetraploid production in P. grandiflorum was soaking treatment using 0.01 and 0.5% colchicine solution for 1 hour and 12 hours, respectively. Morphological characteristics of both diploid and tetraploid were similar, but tetraploid plants had more leaves. Compared to diploid, tetraploid had the larger stomata, but less number of stomata. Fresh weight of tetraploids was 20∼40% heavier than that of diploid.
