낭충봉아부패병에 저항성인 신품종 토종벌을 농업과학원에서 시험재료로 제공받아 일반 농가에서 사육중인 일반벌과 비교하였다. 꿀벌 수밀력을 조사한 결과 일벌 개체당 수밀력은 비저항성 계통보다 저항성계통이 15% 높았으며, 화분채집량은 저항성계통에서는 358mg, 비저항성 계통은 330.3mg으로 저항성계통이 비저항성계통보다 8.4%의 높은 화분채집력을 보였다. 질병저항성을 알아보기 위해 봉개유충 청소행동 평가에서 8시간 후 저항성계통에 서는 51.3%, 비저항성계통에서는 50.7%이었으며, 24시간 후에는 두계통 모두 98.7~100%의 사충 제거율을 보였다. 봉군발육조사에서는 저항성 계통의 경우, 일벌, 유충, 번데기의 수가 비저항성계통에 비하여 41%, 7%, 73% 로 발육이 우수하였다.

본 연구는 토마토의 주요해충인 토마토녹응애(Aculops lycopersici Massee)의 조기 예찰을 위한 새로운 예찰법 개발에 관한 것이다. 토마토 녹응애는 4월경 최초 발생하여 토마토의 아래 줄기부터 감염시키며 엽병을 타고 잎으로 이동한다. 발생이 심할 경우 줄기는 다소 광택이 나면서 녹이 낀 색을 보이며, 잎은 은빛을 띠다가 점차 녹슨 형태를 띠고 잎 끝이 말린다. 성숙된 과실보다 푸른색을 띠는 시기에 피해를 주며 과실에 피해가 보일 경우는 밀도가 상당히 높아야 하기 때문에 과실 피해를 보기란 쉽지 않다. 녹색의 라벨스티커에서 최초로 토마토녹응애를 찾아내는데 걸리는 시간은 약 7.0초로 가장 짧았으며 청색, 주황색, 백색의 경우 각각 17.1, 19.8, 12.3초의 시간이 걸렸다. 투과현미경에 측광을 주었을 때 가장 관찰이 용이하였다. 토마토녹응애는 4월 하순부터 발생하여 5월 중순 이후 급격히 밀도가 증가하였으며, 6월 중하순경 최대 발생 양상을 보이고 기온이 높아지면서 6월 하순 이후 밀도가 급격히 감소하였다. 토마토녹응애 접종 후 개체군 증가를 보았을 때, 접종 20일 후 하단부 줄기에서 최초로 관찰되었고 60일 후에는 상단부 줄기에서도 관찰되었다. 접종 후 최대의 발생량을 보이는 시기는 줄기의 경우 40일부터 60일까지였으며 잎의 경우는 약 80일 후였다. 라벨스티커는 토마토재배지에서 토마토녹응애의 발생을 예찰하기에 충분하였다

Background : The rhizome of ginger (Zingiber officinale) is widely used as a spice or a traditional medicine. It contains the phenolic compounds, such as gingerol, zingerone and shogaols as the major pungent compound. Ginger is commonly used for various types of "stomach problems," including motion sickness, colic, upset stomach, gas, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), nausea. The cultivation area of ginger is 1,046 ha, and it is cultivated as 5th of 55 medicinal crops in Korea (2016). When ginger is cultivated in a vinyl house, the growing periods can be prolonged by early sowing and the yield is improved compared to the conventional cultivation. This experiment was carried out to investigated on growth, rhizome shape and yield as affected by the soil covering in rain-shelter greenhouse. Methods and Results : Seed ginger was planted on March 10 at 75 × 15 ㎝ planting density in greenhouse. The soil covering on furrow area was carried out on June 20, July 20 and August 20. The control, conventional cultivation was planted four rows on 120 ㎝ wide ridge. As a results of applying the soil covering, emergence was 2 - 3 days earlier than that of conventional cultivation. On November 5, samples were harvested for each treatment, and growth characteristics, tuber shape, and yield were investigated. As the number of soil-cover increased up to 3-times, the weight of the tuber increased to 44.4% and the length to 21.9% as compared with the control. However, as the number of soil-cover increased, workspace was needed, resulting in fewer seeding gingers and lower total yield. Therefore, it was advantageous to perform two times soil-cover to obtain the maximum yield. In the case of soil cultivation, the length of the foot was longer than that of conventional cultivation, and the quality was improved. Conclusion : From the above results, it is recommended that the soil covering is carried out twice at greenhouse’s cultivation. The first covering is in mid-June, and the second is in mid-July.

Background : Zingiber officinale is known as the source of the pungent, aromatic spice called ginger. Ginger, especially dried rhizomes, has been widely used for many medicinal purposes. The pungent principles in ginger are the non-volatile phenolic compounds gingerol, gingeridione and shogaol. It is cultivated 1,046 ha as 5 th of 55 medicinal crops in Korea (2016). Ginger has been successfully propagated using internodal cuttings. Ginger emergences at 18℃ or higher, and it takes about 40 - 50 days to emerges after sowing. Therefore, it is required a cultivation method that promote the emergence. Methods and Results : The internodal cuttings with 25 – 35 g was planted on 30 April at 30 × 30 ㎝ on 120 ㎝ broad bed. Five covering materials included the illite non-woven fabric (18 g/㎡), rice straw and vinyl were treated to promote emergence and early growth. Soil temperature covered by illite non-woven fabric was higher by 2.6 - 2.8℃ than that of rice straw covering, and lower by 2.2 - 2.4℃ than that of the transparent vinyl mulching. Emergence was faster in the illite non-woven fabric mulching by 5 - 6 days compared to vinyl mulching. It was presumed to be due to the small diurnal difference with increasing soil temperature. The covering with illite non-woven fabric had a large plant height and a large leaf number. So, the early growth in the covering of illite non-woven fabric was better than other treatments. There was a differences in rhizome’s yield among treatments. The content of gingerol was 2.29 – 2.37 ㎎/g and there was no significant difference. Conclusion : From the above results, covering illite non-woven fabric until sprouting after planting promoted its emergence and early growth.
