To find an alternative for synthetic pesticides, methanol extracts from 69 plant samples were tested for their insecticidal activity against two spotted mite (Tetranchus urticae Koch). Seven plant extracts including Angelica japonica showed over 80% insecticidal activity at 5000 mg/L. Extract of Prunus armeniaca seed showed high insecticidal activity at 3000 mg/L. As a naturally occurring pesticide, P. armeniaca could be useful as a new botanic insecticide.

The test was carried out at a test field at the Wanju Eco-Farming Complex from 2009 to 2010 to figure out the proper application of fertilizers when growing rice at the EcoFarming Complex. The result showed that when compared to the basal application of compost as fertilizer, applying supplementary compost after natural re-seeding of chinese milk vetch (CM씨 helped balance soìl nutrìtìon and maìntained rice yields.

Nitrogen fíxatíon by legumes can be valuable sources for organíc farmíng. Thís study was to ínvestígate the effect of dífferent legume mixtures on nitrogen fíxatíon and transfer to grasses on sp끼ng paddy fíeld. Three different mixtures were used (rye+haíry vetch, Italían ryegrass+crímson clover, oat+pea) in a randomized complete block design with three replications and sowed ín pots wíth different sowing rate (5:5 rye:haíry vetch,7:3=ltalian:crimson, 6:4=oat:pea) on early March. t 5NH4hS04 solutíon at. 99.8 atom%15N was applied to the each pot at the rate of 2kg N ha.1 on 16h Ap끼1. Forage were harvested at ground level ín heading stage and separated ínto legume and grass. Total N content and 15N value were determíned using a continuous f10w stable ísotope ratio mass spectrometry. DM yield of rye+vetch, Italian+crimson and 。at+pea were 6,607, 3,213 and 4,312kg/ha, respectively. Proportion of N from fixatíon was 0.73(rye+vetch), 0.42(1talian+crimson) and 0.93(oat+pea). The percentages of N transfer from legume to grass were from 61% to 24% in dífferent method by treatments and -35% to 21% in ísotope dilutíon method.

항만에서 작동중인 컨테이너 크레인에 갑작스러운 돌풍에 의해 크레인이 밀리는 현상을 방지하기 위한 안전장치로 레일 클램프가 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 레일 클램프 중에서 특히 레일의 손상과 레일 클램프 수명을 향상시킬 수 있는 쐐기형 레일 클램프을 제작하기 위한 기초 설계에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 특히, 조의 회전을 방지하고 적절한 가압력을 발휘할 수 있는 쐐기각을 설정하기 위해, 우선조의 설계 치수와 회전력의 관계에 대한 하중분석을 수행하고, 여기에서 최대 쐐기각을 도출하고, 이후 수치 해석을 통한 강성도 분석을 통하여 최소 쐐기각 6˚를 제안한다. 또한, 제작된 레일 클램프를 통한 실험으로 검증하였다.
