Sweetpotato tips are known to be very useful parts as a vegetable because of their high nutritive values and great biomass yield. This study was carried out to select a variety that is suitable to the tips of sweetpotatoes as vegetables. Twenty-two varieties were planted in polyethylene (PE) houses and upland field. The tips were cropped, tested and their tips' external characteristics, quantity, sweetness, toughness and taste were likewise tested. This research found that the external characteristics of the sweetpotato tips were mostly colored green or greenish purple and the leaves were of heart shape. When it comes to texture, the crops from the PE houses presented softer sense than those from the upland field, and due to the blanching, the degree of hardness was reduced by 60 percent. The varieties that presented soft texture after blanching were Yulmi, Geonmi, Hwangmi, Sinchunmi, M301, Eunmi, Juhwangmi, Singeonmi and Gogeonmi. The sweetness, which gives a great influence to the taste, was found to be 3.8 Brix°％ on the average for raw tips of sweetpotatoes cropped in P.E. houses, lower than the crops from the upland field which yielded 4.6 Brix°％. By varieties, those that were commonly high in both P.E. houses and upland field crops were three kinds - Geonmi, Sincheonmi and Juhwangmi. The yield derived was on the average 150 tons/ha, which was considerably high yield, compared to the greens like the Korean leeks, which were repeatedly cropped once planted, like the tips. The investigation into the external appearances, texture, sweetness and acceptability found that the varieties that are suitable for sweetpotato tips production are Yulmi, Geonmi, Hwangmi, Yeonmi, Chinmi and Juhwangmi.

A field experiment was conducted in Agronomy farm at an altitude of 1350 m. above sea level in a randomized complete block design with three replications and eight treatments on vegetable type soybean in 2005. The objective was to see the effect of vermicompost alone and in combination with Rhizobium inoculum and mineral fertilizers on the yield of vegetable soybean. The result showed higher number of nodules from the non inoculated plot, however, the nodules weight was highest from the inoculated plots. No significant difference was notice statistically on roots and shoots dry weight. Soybean grain was obtained highest (32.3%) over the non inoculated plot followed by vermicompost plus inoculated, however, there was non significant difference. There was a slight increment on grain and straw yield from the inoculated plots over the non inoculated.

“Neulbora” is a new leaf vegetable perilla (Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton) variety developed from a cross between Ipdeulkkae1/YCPL173 and YCPL199 at the Yeongnam Agricultural Research Institute, NICS, RDA, in 2005. Wrinkled leaf shape and purple color o

“Saebora” is a new leaf vegetable perilla (Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton) variety developed from a cross between “Ipdeulkkae1” and YCPL199 at the Yeongnam Agricultural Research Institute, NICS, RDA, in 2004. Purple backside leaf color is a very importan

“Sangbeak” (Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton), is a cultivar for leaf vegetable, from a cross between YPL5 (Ipdeulkkae1/ YCPL187) and “Namcheon” at the National Yeongnam Agricultural Experiment Station (NYAES), RDA, in 2003. The size of fully grown leaf is a important trait in delayed harvesting. The maximum leaf size of “Sangbeak” is 18.5cm, smaller than 21.4cm of a check cultivar, “Ipdeulkkae”1, leading to the constant leaf quality in delayed harvest. The fresh leaf yield of “Sangbeak” is 6% higher than that of “Ipdeulkkae 1” (5029 vs. 4742 kg/10a). For the leaf production, “Sangbeak” could be grown in whole area of South Korea. However, because of its late maturity, seed production culture is available in South Gyeongsang and South Jeolla provinces.

“Daeshin” (Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton), a new cultivar for leaf vegetable, was developed from a cross between YPL5 (Ipdeulkkae1/YCPL187) and Milyang2 at the National Yeongnam Agricultural Experiment Station (NYAES), RDA, in 2002. For the cultivation of leaf vegetable perilla, seeds are sown in narrow spacing of 10 × 5 cm and all branches are removed to harvest uniform leaves from main stem. Because of the narrow planting distance, it is difficult to distinguish seeds from soil in dark brown seed cultivar. Therefore the gray-white size color of “Daeshin” is very useful characteristic for easier sawing in perilla cultivation. “Daeshin” grow vigorously and yield high quality leaf. The fresh leaf yield of “Daeshin” is 9% higher than that of “Ipdeulkkae 1” (4,823 vs. 4,459 kg/10a). For the leaf production, “Daeshin” is adaptable to whole arable land in South Korea. However, the southern parts of Korea such as South Gyeongsang and South Jeolla provinces are appropriate for the seed production.

“Ilyeop” (Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton), a new cultivar for leaf vegetable, was developed from a cross between Ipdeulkkae1 and YCPL187 at the National Yeongnam Agricultural Experiment Station, RDA, in 2001. For the cultivation of leaf vegetable perilla, the plants are grown with a spacing of 10 × 5 cm between rows and plants and all branches are removed to harvest uniform leaves from main stem, indicating that the amount of the next harvesting leaf is a important characteristic for the growth of the plant. “Ilyeop” grows vigorously and yields high quality leaf with higher amount of the next harvesting leaves composed with a check cultivar, “Ipdeulkkae1”. “Ilyeop” has five days of earlier seed maturity (Oct. 24) than that of “Ipdeulkkae1” under natural condition, less chance of frost damage is expected. The flowering date of “Ilyeop” is same with that of “Ipdeulkkae1” in winter cultivation with night break treatment.

“Bora” is a new perilla (Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton) cultivar developed from a cross between Ipdeulkkae1 and YCPL199 at National Yeongnam Agricultural Experiment Station, RDA, in 2001. Purple backside leaf color is one of the most important characteristics for the high quality perilla leaf. “Bora” has purple backside leaf color in all climate condition, while a check variety, Ipdeulkkae1 has too light color during summer season or in high temperature condition. “Bora” matures at October 18th and has 79 cm of the stem length, shorter than that of Ipdeulkkae1. Although leaf yield is 11% less than that of a check variety Ipdeulkkae1, the harvested leaf number of “Bora” is similar with that of Ipdeulkkae1. The cultivar is appropriable in all area of Korea for the leaf harvesting cultivation whereas it is restricted to southern part of Korea South Gyeongsang and South Jeola provinces, for the seed harvesting cultivation.

식물자원을 이용하여 식물추출물 발효식품을 제조하는데 있어서 적합한 발효기간을 설정하기 위하여 발효기간의 경과에 따른 발효액의 품질특성과 효소활성 및 항산화활성 등의 변화를 조사하였다. 발효기간이 경과함에 따라 pH와 ˚BX는 점차 낮아졌으며, 점도는 3개월 경과 시 현저히 낮아졌다. 색도는 발효기간이 증가함에 따라 무를 제외한 시료에서 L값과 a값은 증가되고, 은 감소되었으며, 무는 L, a, 값이 모두 감소하였다. 발효액 중의 amylase활성은 전체 시료에서 활성을 나타내었고 특히 브로컬리, 가지, 양배추. 치커리, 두릅, 무에서 발효 전에 비하여 발효 6개월 경과 후에 각각 460, 430, 190, 420, 560, 260 units로 활성이 크게 증가하였다. invertase는 무와 토마토에서 활성을 나타내었으며 발효 전에 각각 170, 130 units 에서 6개월 경과 후 200과 460 unit로 증가되었다. cellulase는 두릅, 무, 토마토에서 활성을 나타냈으며 발효 전에 55, 10, 95 units 에서 발효 6개월 경과 후에 자각 100, 280, 140units 증가하였다. 총 페놀 화합물 함량은 발효가 진행됨에 따라 증가하여 2~4개월 발효 시 가장 높았고, 항산화활성도는 발효 4개월 경과 시에 가장 높았으며 그 이후에는 감소하였다. Tyrosinase와 SOD 유사활성은 전체적으로 약한 활성을 나타내었다. 발효액의 관능적인 특성을 조사하였을 때 두릅의 경우에는 발효 기간의 경과에 따라서 두릅 고유의 냄새, 단 냄새, 새콤한 냄새는 감소하였으며 두릅맛, 쓴맛, 떫은맛은 감소하여 전체적인 기호도가 3개월 발효액에서 가장 높았다. 무의 경우에는 발효기간이 증가함에 따라 무 냄새와 매운맛이 감소하고, 단맛이 증가하였으며, 전체적인 기호도가 발효 3개월에서 가장 좋은 것으로 평가되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 식물자원 추출물의 발효기간은 3~4개월 정도가 적합할 것으로 판단된다.
