This study was carried out to find out the changes in the growth characteristics and feed value of the three different whole-crop silage rice cultivars of whole-crop silage rice such as Jonong, Yeongwoo and Mogwoo to develop an efficient double cropping system. This study showed that there were significant differences biomass and feed values among cultivars but no clear difference among transplanting dates. Dry weight and height were in order of Mogwoo, Yeongwoo, Jonong (p<0.05). Dry weight and feed value of Jonong showed no significant difference after 21 days after heading (DAH), it was expected to be harvested before DAH 30 days. Yeongwoo showed a lower dry weight than Mogwoo, but heading date was earlier than Mogwoo, so one can expect a higher feed value than Mogwoo. Mogwoo had lower crude protein and total digestible nutrient than the other two cultivars but relative feed value in stem was higher than that of the other cultivars, but had higher dry weight than other cultivars so it was considered to take an advantage as a silage rice. Therefore, the results of this study suggest that the selection of whole-crop silage rice on the cropping system be made comprehensively by considering the heading characteristics of the cultivars and the feed value.

This study aimed to discuss the optimal seeding and harvesting dates with growing degree days(GDD) via meta-data of whole crop maize(WCM). The raw data (n=3,152) contains cultivation year, cultivars, location, seeding and harvesting dates collected from various reports such as thesis, science journals and research reports (1982-2012). The processing was: recording, screening and modification of errors; Then, the final dataset (n=121) consists of seeding cases (n=29), and harvesting cases (n=92) which were used to detect the optimum. In addition, the optimal periods considering tolerance range and GDD also were estimated. As a result, the optimum seeding and harvesting periods were 14th April ~ 3rd May and 15th August ~ 4th September, respectively; where, their GDDs were 23.7~99.6℃ and 1,328.7~ 1,602.1℃, respectively. These GDDs could be used as a judge standard for selecting the seeding and harvesting dates.

This study was conducted to compare the agronomic characteristics and productivity according to the species and varieties of winter forage crops in reclaimed land. Winter forage crops used in this study were developed in National Institute of Crop Science, RDA. Oats (‘Samhan’, ‘Jopung’, ‘Taehan’, ‘Dakyung’ and ‘Hi-early’), forage barley (‘Yeongyang’, ‘Yuyeon’, ‘Yujin’, ‘Dacheng’ and ‘Yeonho’), rye (‘Gogu’, ‘Jogreen’ and ‘Daegokgreen’) and triticale (‘Shinyoung’, ‘Saeyoung’, ‘Choyoung’, ‘Sinseong’, ‘Minpung’ and ‘Gwangyoung’) were planted in the reclaimed land of Sihwa district in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do in the autumn of 2018 and cultivated using each standard cultivation method, and harvested in May 2019(oat and rye: 8 May, barley and triticale: 20 May.) The emergency rate was the lowest in rye (84.4%), and forage barley, oat and triticale were in similar levels (92.8 to 98.8%). Triticale was the lowest (416 tiller/㎡) and oat was the highest (603 tiller/㎡) in tiller number. Rye was the earliest in the heading date (April 21), triticale was April 26, and oat and forage barley were in early May (May 2 and May 5). The plant height was the highest in rye (95.6 cm), and triticale and forage barley was similar (76.3 and 68.3cm) and oat was the lowest (54.2 cm). Dry matter(DM) content of rye was the highest in the average of 46.04% and the others were similar at 35.09∼37.54%. Productivity was different among species and varieties, with the highest dry matter yield of forage barley (4,344 kg/ha), oat was similar to barley, and rye and triticale were lowest. ‘Dakyoung’ and ‘Hi-early’ were higher in DM yield (4,283 and 5,490 kg/ha), and forage barley were higher in ‘Yeonho’, ‘Yujin’ and ‘Dacheng’ varieties (4,888, 5,433 and 5,582 kg/ha). Crude protein content of oat (6.58%) tended to be the highest, and TDN(total digectible nutrient) content (63.61%) was higher than other varieties. In the RFV(relative feed value), oats averaged 119, while the other three species averaged 92∼ 105. The weight of 1,000 grain was the highest in triticale (43.03 g) and the lowest in rye (31.61 g). In the evaluation of germination rate according to the salt concentration (salinity), the germination rate was maintained at about 80% from 0.2 to 0.4% salinity. The correlation coefficient between germination and salt concentration was high in oat and barley (-0.91 and -0.92) and lowest in rye (-0.66). In conclusion, forage barley and oats showed good productivity in reclaimed land. Adaptability is also different among varieties of forage crops. When growing forage crops in reclaimed land, the selection of highly adaptable species and varieties was recommended.

본 연구는 이형발효 유산균을 첨가한 이탈리안 라이그라스 및 총체보리 사일리지의 저장 기간 동안의 변화에 따른 반추위 발효 효과를 규명하고자 수행하였다. 사일리지의 접종 균주는 이형발효 유산균으로 Lactobacillus casei KACC 12413 및 Lactobacillus reuteri KCTC 3594 및 Lactobacillus casei + Lactobacillus reuteri로 하였다. In vitro 실험의 pH 변화는 LCR 처리구가 높은 경향이었으며, 작물 간의 차이는 WCB사일리지 보다 IRG 사일리지의 pH가 높았다. 총 가스 생산량은 대조구에 비해 유산균 첨가구가 낮았고, WCB 보다 IRG 사일리지가 높은 수준이었다. 암모니아태 질소 농도는 유산균 첨가구 보다 대조구가 높은 경향이었고, 30일 보다 60일 사일리지가 낮았다. 총 휘발성지방산 생성량은 30일 및 60일 WCB 사일리지의 LC 처리구가 높았다. In situ 실험에서 건물 소화율은 48시간 발효 했을 때 LCR 처리구가 높았고 대조구가 가장 낮았다. 작물 간에 차이는 WCB에 비해 IRG가 8∼10% 더 높았다. NDF 소화율은 LC 처리구 및 LCR 처리구가 높은 경향이었고(p<0.05), ADF 소화율은 LC 처리구 및 LCR처리구가 높았다. 본 연구의 결과로 미루어 보아 propionate를 생성하는 이형 발효 유산균이 접종된 사일리지는 반추위 내 발효조건을 개선하고 가축의 사일리지 소화율을 증진 시킬 것으로 보이며, 가축의 생산성 및 사료가치가 향상 될 것으로 여겨진다.

본 연구는 적외선 열 영상 장치를 이용하여 2년생 ‘유미’ 복숭아나무의 토양수분 수준에 따른 엽온 및 CWSI를 분석하여 수분스트레스 측정 가능성을 검토하였다. 엽온은 대기온도와 유사한 일변화를 보이며 낮 시간대에는 대기온도보다 높은 양상을 보였다. 엽온은 전일(24시간) 기준으로 대기온도(r2 = 0.95), 일사량(r2 = 0.74), 상대습도(r2 = -0.88)와 모두 높은 상관계수를 나타났다. 또한 토양수분장력은 낮 시간대(11~16시)에 엽온(r2 = -0.57), 엽-대기온도차(r2 = -0.71), CWSI(r2 = -0.72)와 높은 부의상관을 나타냈다. CWSI와 엽온, 엽-대기온도차의 상관계수는 24시간 기준으로 매우 높았고(r2 = 0.90, r2 = 0.92), CWSI와 토양수분장력의 상관분석에서 24시간 기준으로는 상관관계가 낮았으나(r2 = -0.27), 낮 시간대(11~16시)에는 상관관계가 매우 높았다(r2 = -0.72). CWSI (y)와 토양수분장력(x)의 상관관계 결정계수(r2)는 11~12시간대에 가장 높았으며(r2 = 0.68), 이때 회귀식은 y = -0.0087x + 0.14로 조사되었다. 일반적인 토양수분스트레스 시점인 -50 kPa에 해당되는 CWSI는 0.575로 계산된다. 따라서 적외선 열 영상 장치를 이용한 엽온 및 CWSI는 토양수분장력에 대해 높은 상관계수를 나타낸 것으로 보아 복숭아나무의 수분스트레스 진단에 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

In this study, whole crop rice samples were used to develop near-infrared reflectance (NIR) equations to estimate six forage quality parameters: Moisture, crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), Ash and relative feed value (RFV). A population of 564 whole crop rice representing a wide range in chemical parameters was used in this study. Undried finely chopped whole crop rice samples were scanned at 1 nm intervals over the wavelength range 680–2500 nm and the optical data recorded as log 1/Reflectance (log 1/R). NIRS calibrations were developed by means of partial least-squares (PLS) regression. The correlation coefficients of cross-validation (R2 cv) and standard error of cross-validation (SECV) for whole crop rice calibration were 0.98 (SECV 1.81%) for moisture, 0.89 (SECV 0.50%) for CP, 0.86 (SECV 1.79%) for NDF, 0.89 (SECV 0.86%) for ash, and 0.84 (SECV 5.21%) for RFV on a dry matter (%), respectively. The NIRS calibration equations developed in this study will be useful in predicting whole crop rice quality for these six quality parameters.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of whole crop rice based TMR on the meat quality of Korean Native Cattle (Hanwoo). Sixteen Hanwoo steers (average 8 months old) were divided into the control group (commercially marketed TMR) and the WCR-TMR group (whole crop rice based TMR). Feeding trials were carried out up to 30 months of age, and after slaughter, the strip loin were collected and analyzed for meat quality. There were no significant differences in proximate compositions of Hanwoo (P>0.05), and crude protein, crude fat and crude ash were 19.51∼20.23 %, 11.53∼11.35 % and 1.10∼1.12 %, respectively. There was no significant difference in water holding capacity and cooking loss between treatments (P>0.05), but it was slightly lower in the control group. Among the various functional components in meat, β-carotene was not detected, but α-tocopherol was significantly higher in WCR-TMR group and vitamin A content in control (P<0.05). The a*-value in the meat color index decreased significantly with longer storage period in the control group, whereas the WCR-TMR fed group showed no significant difference (P>0.05) according to the storage period. There were no difference between the treatments in the TBARS (2-Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) value used as an indicator of lipid oxidation and in fatty acid content. But the control group had high myristic acid content, whereas the WCR-TMR supplemented group showed higher oleic acid and linoleic acid content. In conclusion, feeding of WCR based-TMR increased the α-tocopherol content, which is a functional ingredient in meat, and the other components were not significantly different from the control. Therefore, it was judged that there was no significant difference between WCR based and conventional TMR in meat quality characteristics.

본 연구는 고부가가치 약용작물인 잔대(Adenophora triphylla var. japonica Hara)의 종자 형태특성과 휴면 유형을 조사하고, 발아율 향상을 위한 소독제와 광질을 선발하기 위해서 수행되었다. 종자 소독은 증류수(대조구), NaClO 4%, H2O2 4%와 benomyl 500mg·L-1를 이용하여 실시하였으며, 광질처리는 암조건(control I), 형광등 (control II), LEDs[red, blue, green, RB LEDs(red:blue = 8:2, 6:4, 4:6, 2:8)]를 광주기 12/12(light/dark), 광도 150μmol·m-2·s-1 photosynthetic photon flux density로 설정 하였다. 잔대 종자는 emryo (E):seed (S) ratio가 0.4로 미숙배 종자지만 30일 이내에 발아가 되며, 침지 6시간 만에 포화상태에 도달하였다. 종자 소독 후 benomyl 처리에서 곰팡이 발생이 유의적으로 억제되었으며, 최종 발아 율이 87%로 가장 높았다. 적색광에서 최종 발아율이 92%로 가장 높았으며, 일일평균발아수는 R2B8에서 가장 적었다. 따라서 잔대 종자는 휴면이 거의 없으며, benomyl 소독제와 적색광이 발아율 향상에 효과적이여, 향후 약용작물 잔대 재배에 이용가치가 높을 것이라 판 단된다.

The production of traditional cool season grasses in temperate regions is becoming hampered during summer seasons due to water deficit. Thus, incorporating water use efficient warm season annual grasses are generally considered to fill the gap of summer season forage reduction that would offer considerable flexibility and adaptability to respond to forage demand. Teff (Eragrostis teff Zuccagni) Trotter) is, a C4 drought tolerant warm season annual grass primarily grown for grain production, recently gaining interest for forage production particularly during summer season. Previous reports have showed that teff is palatable and has comparable forage biomass and feed quality as compared to other warm season annual grasses which would make it an alternative forage. However, the available data are not comprehensive to explore the potential of teff as forage, hence further assessment of genotype variability and performance along with compatibility study of teff with forage production system of specific environment is key for future utilization.
