This study was carried out to have the basic and applied information to develop the cultivation methods and models and to increase the productivity of high-quality ginseng. Plant height was dramatically increased from one year old to four years old, and then it was grown up very slowly. Stem length was shown similar tendency as the plant height did. Its range were from 9.4 cm in one year old to about 42.4 cm in four year-old ginseng. The leaf area was clearly increased until four years old, 10.1cm2 in one year old to 204.9cm2 in four years old, while it was slightly increased after four years old. Root length was continuously increased from one year old until four years old, and then it was grown up very slowly. Tap root length which was measured was appeared about 8 cm from three years old to six years old, showing not much different among the year-olds. The root diameter was continuously increased from one year old to six year-old ginseng, about 2.9 mm and about 19 mm, respectively. The moisture content was higher on the shoot than that on the root. It was slightly decreased as they were getting old. In shoot part, the rate of leaves and stems based on dry weight was about 1 : 1. In the root, the dry weight of tap root was heavier than that of lateral root. The dry weight of shoot was decreased after four years old, while it of the root was continuously increased until six years old, resulting the production of ginseng root. Based on the results of this study, growth characteristics of shoot and root of ginseng were dramatically increased from one year old to four years old and then their growths were appeared different between shoot and root, showing not much growing in shoot and keep growing in root.

Korean ginseng has been used for thousands of years as an important medicinal plant. Lime-Bordeaux mixture (LBM) was made with copper sulfate and quicklime, which was sprayed instead of pesticides in ginseng field. Net photosynthesis (PN) was compared between Treatment and Non-treatment of LBM in 3 Year Old Ginseng. PN in control plot recorded 2.94μmol (CO2) m-2s-1 at the first day of experiment, which was similar until the last day of experiment. However, The PN in LBM recorded 2.23μmol (CO2) m-2s-1, which was lower than that in control plot. As time goes by, The PN in LBM was gradually increased up to 3.21μmol (CO2) m-2s-1 and finally, it was similar with that in control plot at 7th day as a 3.20μmol (CO2) m-2s-1).

Lime-bordeaux mixture has been used to prevent diseases in the field of ginseng. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of lime-bordeaux depending on the concentration and treatment time on major diseases of ginseng such as Alternaria blight and anthracnose, and to evaluate the root growth of ginseng. Lime-bordeaux caused damage on leaf when it was sprayed on ginseng between April and early May. No difference was found in root growth by spraying lime-bordeaux mixture between ratio 4-4 and 8-8 ratio in concentration. Plot of 6-6 raito and 8-8 ratio appeared to be similar efficacy compared to that of practical chemical control. However, the plot of 4-4 ratio showed lower than that of chemical control.

본 연구는 성인과 노인을 대상으로 한손-양손 동작전환에 신체척도 비율이 제어변수로 작용하는지 알아 보고, 그 비율이 Van der Kamp, Savelsbergh & Davis(1998)의 연구에서 밝힌 아동의 신체척도 비율과 비교하여 모든 연령에 적용되는 공통된 지각변수가 될 수 있는지 알아보는 것이다. 이를 위하여 성인, 노인 각 17명씩 총 34명을 대상으로 판지로 만든 크기 3.2cm에서 18.2cm의 정육면체 상자(한 변의 길이가 1cm) 총 16개의 상자를 한손 또는 양손으로 잡아 5cm 높이의 장애물을 넘겨 30cm 떨어진 목표 지점으로 옮기는 과제를 수행하였다. 수집된 자료로 반복측정에 의한 이원분산분석을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 성인과 노인의 한손-양손 동작전환이 일어나는 시점에서 절대적인 손 크기에는 차이가 있었지만 손 크기에 대한 물체크기의 비율인 신체척도 비율에는 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 둘째, 성인과 노인의 신체척도 비율을 이전의 Van der Kamp 등(1998)의 연구에서 밝힌 아동의 신체척도 비율과 간접 비교해 본 결과 비율의 크기에서 차이가 있었다. 셋째, 성인과 노인에서 제어변수의 증거인 Sudden jump, Enhanced variance가 나타났으나, Hysteresis는 정확하게 나타나지 않았다. 결론적으로, 성인과 노인의 신체척도 비율은 Sudden jump와 Enhanced variance의 결과를 통해 한손-양손 잡기 동작 전환에 제어변수로 작용한 것을 확인할 수 있었으나 전 연령대에 걸친 공통된 지각변수로 보기에는 어렵다고 보여진다.
