The purpose of this study was to select some superior soybean varieties adaptable to growth in the northern parts of the Korean peninsula, and to identify the suitable growing regions of soybean in North Korea. Soybean varieties from South Korea were evaluated with the Chinese locally cultivated varieties as check varieties at two locations, Donggang City of Lianing Province, and at Longjing City of Jilin Province, 2017-2019. A total of 100 soybean varieties from South Korea and three Chinese check varieties were evaluated based on ecological adaptability, and a total of 18 varieties including ‘Suwon 212’ from the Longjing test site as well as a total of 59 genotypes the Donggang test site, were selected for further evaluation in the first experiment year. A total of 12 promising soybean varieties at Longjing and 15 varieties at Donggang that were selected from the previous year, were evaluated at the same sites for ecological adaptability as well as productivity in the second experiment year. A total of nine promising soybean varieties were selected at the test sites, respectively. The nine varieties at each site that were selected from the previous year for the production capacity including flowering date, degree of lodging, yield potential, and disease resistance, were reviewed to evaluate at both sites in the last experiment year. Finally, a total of eight superior varieties, including four at the Longjing site (‘Seonnogkong’, ‘Dajinputkong’, ‘Danweonkong’ and ‘Sinpaldalkong 2’) and the other four at the Donggang site (‘Iksan 13’, ‘Seonnogkong’, ‘Gangil’ and ‘Yeonpung’) were selected. The yield potential of four outstanding soybean varieties selected at the Longjin site was 1.5-2.6t/ha, and that of the other four at the Donggang site was 2.1-2.7t/ha.

고령지농업연구소에서 육성된 '자심' 감자(Solanum tuberosum L.) 괴경의 자주색 육색은 안토시아닌 색소의 축적에 기인한다. 본 연구는 이러한 '자심' 감자의 괴경 조직에 안토시아닌이 축적될 때 결정적으로 관여하는 기상 환경요인을 분석하고 색소 함량 증대를 위한 질소시비 기준을 설정하기 위하여 수행되었다. 기상 환경요인이 뚜렷하게 다른 3개 지역에서 파종시기 또는 재배 작형을 달리하여 '자심' 감자를 재배하고 수확된 괴경의 안토시아닌 함량을 분석한 결과, 수확일을 기준으로 수확전 30일 동안의 야간온도가 낮을수록 괴경내 안토시아닌 축적이 왕성한 것으로 나타났다. 안토시아닌 축적에 영향을 미치는 질소시비 수준의 효과를 분석한 결과 고랭지인 대관령에서는 권장시비량 처리구에 비해 감량시비 혹은 증량시비 처리구에서 안토시아닌 함량이 낮은 결과를 보였다. 그러나 평난지인 강릉에서는 시비수준간 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 안토시아닌이 고농도로 축적된 자주색 육색의 '자심' 감자를 생산하기 위해서는 적절한 재배지대 및 작형의 선택과 시비관리가 매우 중요할 것으로 생각된다.

This work was carried out to evaluate the resistance of potato germplasm against late blight in Korea. Seven races ofPhytophthora infestans were detected from the main potato growing areas. Three races of pathogen were isolated from mono-crop-ping areas a

This study was carried out to understand and improve the selection efficiency of potato varieties for processing in early breeding stages under two different cultural environments - spring cropping in lowlands and summer cropping in highlands. In Gangneun

The standard of quality was required to promote the consumption of potato and produce the high quality processing products. It will contribute the stability for processing products and the marketability of potato. The quality was determined based on size of tuber and content of dry matter. Even though the criteria of potato quality was involved many characters of tubers, the most important things were grading and packing of potato to create the consumption. For processing of raw materials, the standard of tubers had create between producer and processor according to size of tuber and content of dry matter. The evaluation of quality was performed over the standard to enhance the control of quality. In addition, the seed potato should be taken the evaluation to disease in the field during the period of cultivation and managed under the strict regulation in storage before release to farmer. Then, the producer of seed potato will make a good relationship to farmer with high quality tubers.
