본 연구는 코이어 배지를 이용한 오이 수경재배에서 배지 포 수액의 종류와 정식 방법에 따른 생육 및 생산성을 검증하여 가장 효율성이 높은 재배 방법의 선발을 위하여 수행되었다. 포수액은 배양액(S)과 원수(W), 육묘는 암면큐브 육묘(RC), 암면 플러그묘(RP), 슬라브 직파(DS)로 하였다. 재배 기간을 동일하게 하기 위하여 기준일은 파종일로 하였다. 초기 생육 량은 S 처리에 서 유의하게 높았으나, 생육기간이 길어질수록 처리 간 차이가 감소하였다. 정식 방법과 생육량 간에는 관계 성이 나타나지 않았으나, 포수 방법에 따라 동일한 정식방법 간에도 다른 결과가 나타났다. 생산성도 동일한 경향으로 초 기 수확기인 파종 후 6－8주까지는 S 처리에서 수확과의 수가 유의하게 많았으며, 이후 동일한 기간 수량의 격차가 해소되 었다. 누적 수량은 초기 수확량의 차이로 인하여 S 처리에서 유의하게 높았다. 식물체의 생육과 과실 생산성은 유사한 경 향으로 선형적인 관계성을 나타내었다. 정식 방법 간에는 상 관성을 나타내지 않았으나, S의 DS 처리가 초기 근권부 안정 적인 양·수분 공급으로 초기 생육 및 수량이 가장 많은 경향이 었다. 따라서 S 처리한 배지에 DS 방식이 식물체의 생육 및 생 산성에 가장 유리할 뿐만 아니라 재배단계 간소화를 통한 노 동력 및 생산 원가 절감으로 경제성 측면에서도 기여할 수 있 을 것으로 생각된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the reasons for the decreased importation of fresh Shiitake mushrooms into Korea after implementation of the Korea–China Free Trade Agreement (FTA). Monthly time-series data from January 2009 to December 2022 were analyzed using regression analysis and vector autoregression (VAR) models to determine the relationship between the amounts of fresh and spawn Shiitake mushrooms imported. The analysis revealed that a major reason for the decreased importation of fresh Shiitake mushrooms was an increase in mushroom spawn imports after Korea–China FTA implementation. The same results were obtained from the VAR model analysis. However, in terms of the dynamic changes in amount of fresh shiitake mushrooms imported, it was confirmed that the impact of the change in mushroom spawn imports could increase the amount of Shiitake mushrooms imported.

본 연구는 국내육성 수국 ‘Morning Star’와 ‘Pink Ari’에 있어서 삽목배지 및 삽목시기가 발근에 미치는 영향을 조사하 기 위해 수행하였다. 삽목배지 실험에서 코코피트, 펄라이트, 피트모스 단용과 코코피트+코코칩을 혼용 처리하였으며, 7월 15일에 ‘Morning Star’의 정아에서 삽수를 채취하여 삽목하 였다. 삽목시기 실험은 4월, 6월, 8월에 정아를 채취하여 삽 목하였다. 삽목배지로써 코코피트와 코코칩의 혼용 배지는 발 근에 가장 부정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 다른 배지들은 발근율과 뿌리길이에서 통계적인 차이가 없었으나, 펄라이트와 피트모 스보다 코코피트에서 뿌리수가 더 많았다. 따라서 국내육성 수국 ‘Morning Star’의 삽목은 코코피트를 배지로 사용하는 것이 발근에 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 삽목시기에 관 한 실험에서, ‘Morning Star’의 발근율은 삽목시기와 상관없 이 83~90%로 통계적인 유의성이 없었으나, 뿌리수와 생체 중은 4월과 8월보다 6월에 삽목했을 때, 가장 증가하였다. 그 리고, 신초의 길이, 엽수 등의 줄기의 생육도 6월에 삽목한 처 리에서 가장 좋았다. ‘Pink Ari’의 삽목시기 실험에서 발근율 은 4월 삽목보다 6월과 8월 삽목 처리에서 높았고, 뿌리수와 뿌리 생체중은 6월 삽목처리에서 각각 61.4개와 0.31g으로 가장 양호하였다. 또한 엽수와 신초의 길이 등 지상부 생육도 전반적으로 4월과 8월 삽목보다 6월 삽목처리에서 가장 좋았 다. 따라서, 국내육성 수국 ‘Morning Star’와 ‘Pink Ari’는 4 월과 8월보다 6월에 삽목하는 것이 발근과 지상부 생육에 효 과적인 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, we developed Rapid Enrichment Broth for Vibrio parahaemolyticus (REB-V), a broth capable enriching V. parahaemolyticus from 100 CFU/mL to 106 CFU/mL within 6 hours, which greatly facilitates the rapid detection of V. parahaemolyticus. Using a modified Gompertz model and response surface methodology, we optimized supplement sources to rapidly enrich V. parahaemolyticus. The addition of 0.003 g/10 mL of D-(+)- mannose, 0.002 g/10 mL of L-valine, and 0.002 g/10 mL of magnesium sulfate to 2% (w/v) NaCl BPW was the most effective combination of V. parahaemolyticus enrichment. Optimal V. parahaemolyticus culture conditions using REB-V were at pH 7.84 and 37oC. To confirm REB-V culture efficiency compared to 2% (w/v) NaCl BPW, we assessed the amount of enrichment achieved in 7 hours in each medium and extracted DNA samples from each culture every hour. Real-time PCR was performed using the extracted DNA to verify the applicability of this REB-V culture method to molecular diagnosis. V. parahaemolyticus was enriched to 5.452±0.151 Log CFU/mL in 2% (w/v) NaCl BPW in 7 hours, while in REB-V, it reached 7.831±0.323 Log CFU/mL. This confirmed that REB-V enriched V. parahaemolyticus to more than 106 CFU/mL within 6 hours. The enrichment rate of REB-V was faster than that of 2% (w/v) NaCl BPW, and the amount of enrichment within the same time was greater than that of 2% (w/v) NaCl BPW, indicating that REB-V exhibits excellent enrichment efficiency.

In recent years, the government has strongly promoted multi-purpose utilization of paddy field. However, poor drainage causes waterlogging stress in upland crops, requiring subsurface drainage technology, resulting in high installation and management costs. To address this issue, a low-cost and high-efficiency technique was developed that utilizes wasted coir substrates which have characteristics of high porosity and good drainage, for upland crop cultivation in paddy fields. Soybeans were grown in both paddy soil and wasted coir slab with two planting densities (80×20 cm and 60×20 cm). The results showed that the coir substrates had better performance than the paddy soil in terms of soil physical and chemical properties and the growth and yield of upland crops are improved. The treatments using wasted coir substrate showed a 41.4% increase in yield and a 21.3% increase in protein content compared to PS treatment. Our findings demonstrate that recycling waste coir substrates to grow upland crops is a positive cultivation strategy to solve some drainage problems in paddy fields. This approach offers a sustainable solution for upland crop production while also addressing the issue of waste management in agriculture.

본 연구에서는 MnSO4이 B. thuringiensis의 곤충독소 형 성에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 신속 검출배지 개발의 기초 자료를 제안하고자 하였다. 본 실험에 사용한 균주는 순 천대학교 식품위생안전실험실에 보관되어 있던 B. thuringiensis reference 1주(KCTC 1511)와 식품에서 분리 된 wild type strain 9주를 사용하였다. B. thuriengiensis의 곤충독소 생성 확인은 식품의약품안전처의 곤충독소 확인 시험법에 따라 실험하였다. 0.005%-MnSO4이 첨가된 Nutrient agar는 배양 48시간에 3개 평판 중 2개 평판 (66.6%)에서 곤충독소가 관찰되었고, 120시간에 3개 평판 (100%) 모두에서 곤충독소가 관찰되었다. AK agar는 48 시간 배양 후 3개 평판 중 1개 평판(33.3%)에서 곤충독소 가 관찰되었으며, 배양 120시간에 3개 평판(100%) 모두에 서 곤충독소가 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과는 포자형성에 사 용되는 AK agar보다 식품공전에서 제시하고 있는 포자형 성 배지인 0.005%-MnSO4 Nutrient agar가 B. thuringiensis 의 곤충독소를 신속하게 생성시키는 것으로 나타났다. B. thuringiensis 10개 균주를 24시간 배양하여 관찰한 결과, 0.000%-MnSO4 배지에서 10개 평판 중 1개 평판(10%), 0.001%-MnSO4이 첨가된 배지의 10개 평판 중 2개 평판 (20%)에서 곤충독소가 관찰되었다. 0.002%-MnSO4이 첨가 된 배지는 10개 평판 중 3개 평판(30%)에서 곤충독소가 관찰되었다. 0.003%-0.009%-MnSO4이 첨가된 배지에서는 곤충독소가 관찰되지 않았다. 이러한 결과로 보아 24시간 배양 시까지는 0.002%-MnSO4이 첨가된 Nutrient agar가 B. thuringiensis의 곤충독소를 가장 신속하게 생성시키는 것으로 나타났다. B. thuringiensis의 곤충독소는 포자형성 과 동시에 생성된다는 보고와 MnSO4이 포자형성에 기여 한다는 보고를 종합하여 보면, MnSO4이 B. thuringiensis 의 포자형성을 가속화하고 이로 인해 곤충독소도 신속하 게 생성된 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 B. thuringiensis의 곤 충독소를 신속하게 생성하기 위해 기존 식품공전에서 제 시하고 있는 Nutrient agar보다 0.002%-MnSO4이 첨가된 Nutrient agar를 사용하는 것이 효율적일 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 Nutrient agar와 0.002%-MnSO4 Nutrient agar의 24 시간 배양 후 곤충독소 생성율의 차이는 작게 나타나 다 수의 wild type B. thuringiensis를 대상으로 추가적인 연구 가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

This study aims to select eggplant cultivars adaptive to the hot temperature period greenhouse climate by water consumption, and growth performance of plants and fruits of different European eggplant cultivars, including ‘Bartok (BA)’, ‘Bowie (BO)’, ‘Black Pearl (BP)’, ‘Ishbilia (I)’, ‘Mabel (M)’, ‘Vestale (VE)’ and ‘Velia (VL)’, in substrate hydroponic cultivation under hot and humid greenhouse conditions. On the 118 DAT, the leaf number and stem dry weight were highest in ‘VL’, followed by ‘M’, and there was no significant difference in leaf dry weight among cultivars. The marketable fruit number per plant was 16.4 for ‘M’, which was higher than other cultivars, and ‘VE’ and ‘VL’ were 8.5 and 8.8, respectively. The weight per fruit was low for ‘M’ at 136 g, and the highest in ‘VE’ and ‘VL’ at 332 and 281 g, respectively. There was no significant difference in fruit production per plant. In this study, ‘M’, which has high water use efficiency and a large number of fruits, and ‘VL’, which required less quantity to water consumption for producing 200 g of fruit and had a high product weight, will have excellent adaptability in the UAE greenhouse condition.

This study was aimed to determine the effects of grow media on the mineral contents of the leaves and growth characteristics of strawberry grown under aquaponics system in a plant factory. For aquaculture, 12 fish (Cyprinus carpio) (total weight, 2.0 kg) were raised in an aquaponics tank (W 0.7 m × L 1.5 m × H 0.45 m, 472.5 L) filled with 367.5 L of water at a density of 5.44 kg·m-3 and total 34 of strawberry seedlings were transplanted in the pots filed with 200 g of orchid stone, hydroball or polyurethane sponge in the growing bed (W 0.7 m × L 1.5 m × H 0.22 m) laid out with holly acrylic sheet (140×60 mm, Ø80) on the top of the system. The pH and EC of the aquaponic solution was ranged from 7.6 to 4.9 and 0.24－0.91 dS·m-1, respectively. The concentration of NO3-N was about 28% lower than that of the hydroponic standard solution, and K, Fe and B were 10, 27 and 3.8 times lower, respectively; however, the mineral contents of strawberry leaves were in the appropriate ranges with lower contents in the leaves grown with sponge media. The organic content (OM), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) of the sludge were 61.5, 5.72, 8.92, and 0.24%, respectively. The leaf area, leaf number, and dry and fresh weights of shoot at 81 DAT were significantly higher in the hydroball, and the average number of fruits per plant was significantly higher in both the orchid stone and hydroball. There was no significant difference in the fresh and dry weights of fruits. Integrated all the results suggest that the orchid stone and hydroball media are more effective to utilize nutrients in solid particles of aquaponic solution, compared to the polyurethane sponge.

Melons, a rich source of vitamins and fibers, are commonly grown in the soil. Hydroponic cultivation could improve yield and quality of melon and selection of substrate volume and the kind of substrates is important for hydroponic cultivation of melons. This study investigated the effect on melon growth according to volume of granular rockwool and substrates of coir and rockwool slab. ‘Geumsegye’ melon (Cucumis melo L. cv. Geumsegye) was cultivated hydroponically according to volume of granular rockwool to 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 L, and was also cultivated using coir and rockwool slabs. Logistic model was applied to estimate the growth characteristics of melons such as plant height, leaf length, leaf width, and the characteristics of fruit. The growth characteristics of melons were significantly increased at 4.0 L compared to those grown of 1.0 L volume of on granular rockwool, and the results were the highest in coir and rockwool slabs. Melons grown in rockwool slabs showed the largest fruit fresh weight, fruit length, and fruit width. During hydroponic cultivation, growth characteristics of melon appropriate at the 4.0 L volume of granular rockwool, and the highest at coir and rockwool slabs. This study provides a basis for understanding the effect of root zone environment to the growth characteristics and fruit quality of non-netted melon.

The present study aimed at selecting a cost-effective substrate for king oyster mushroom based on the growth characteristics of fruiting body for use as a basic resource to ensure stable production on farms. Compositional analysis of substrates manufactured with different materials in each process revealed that the total carbon content was 42.24–48.22% higher and the total nitrogen content was 1.7–2.29% higher in the processed lot than in the control (i.e., substrate used by the farmhouse; 40.86% and 1.39%, respectively). Meanwhile, the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio was the highest in the control (27.9% vs. 19.12–27.88% in the processed lot). When cultured for 28 days, the mycelium growth was 11.5 and 11.3 mm in substrates 1 and 6, respectively, indicating the fastest growth; meanwhile, the values were 10.1–10.3 mm in the control and substrate 11, showing a similar tendency. Mycelial density did not differ significantly among the processed lots. Yield per bottle was higher in substrates 8 (205.95 g/bottle), 7 (178.51 g/bottle), and 11 (170.63 g/bottle) than in the control (152.2 g/bottle). Fruiting body quality was comparable to controls in all processed lots. Overall, economic effects, such as substrate material prices, should be analyzed, and stability evaluations, such as residual pesticide and harmful microorganisms, should be undertaken along with further detailed examination to ensure safe and stable production on farms.

Pleurotus species are the most consumed and cultivated mushrooms in Korea. Although oyster mushrooms (P. ostreatus) can be cultivated automatically, their storability is slightly lower than that of king oyster mushrooms (P. eryngii) and winter mushrooms (Flammulina velutipes); therefore, the export proportion of oyster mushrooms is very low. Since Korean mushrooms are highly preferred across Southeast Asian, the export of oyster mushrooms in the form of complete substrates is expected to be more promising than that of fresh mushroom. Here, 1 and 2.5 kg complete substrates of P. ostreatus ‘Soltari’ and P. sajor-caju ‘Sambok’ were prepared and stored at different temperature from 0 to 15°C for 10 days. Thereafter, the formation of fruiting bodies was induced. Since the 2.5 kg complete substrates required 70 days of incubation, their mycelia were at an advanced age and their fruiting bodies did not grown normally. When 70%-incubated complete substrates were stored at 5–10°C, the growth was faster and more uniform and stable fruiting bodies were formed. Export test of complete substrates to Vietnam using distribution containers set at 0°C and 15°C revealed that the growth period was shortened by 1–2 days when the distribution containers were set at 15°C and the yield of ‘Soltari’ increased by approximately 10%. In addition, even though the yield of ‘Sambok’ was similar between treatments at 0°C and 15°C, the quality of fruiting bodies from 15°C-distributed complete substrates was much better than that of those from 0°C-distributed substrates.
