This study was conducted to compare and analyze the crop-livestock circulation indicators, manure compost circulation, nutrient circulation, and carbon footprint of organic and conventional dairy farms. The survey farms were 13 organically certified dairy farms and 12 conventional dairy farms. A field survey was conducted in 2024. The forage crop cultivation area per head (LSU) of organic dairy farms was 1,539.8 ㎡, which was 2.3 times more than the 682.9 ㎡ of conventional dairy farms. The livestock density index, which indicates the number of cattle per acre of farmland, was lower in organic dairy farms (6.4 LSU/ha) than in conventional dairy farms (9.3 LSU/ha). The self-produced feed feeding rate of organic dairy farms was 31.9%, which was 12.6% higher than 19.3% in conventional dairy farms. The domestically purchased feed feeding rate was 11.6% in organic certified farms (11.6% lower than 22.5%). The imported concentrate feed feeding rate was 33.2% in organic certified farms and 37.5% in conventional dairy farms, which showed no significant difference. The area of forage crops in organic dairy farms was 0.15 ha/head, which was higher than 0.11 ha/head in conventional farms. The annual milk production of organic dairy farms was 10,101 kg, which did not show a significant difference from conventional farms. The local circulation and Off-farm transfer rates of compost in organic certified farms were 5.1% and 0.4%, respectively, which were lower than those in conventional farms. The annual surplus nitrogen per cow (LSU) was 92.1 kg in organic dairy cow certified farms, which was 20% lower than 115.4 kg in conventional farms. The carbon footprint per kg of milk was 1.16 kgCO2eq in organic certified farms, which was 28% lower than 1.61 kg CO2eq in conventional farms.

Integrated crop–livestock farming systems improve the self-sufficient feed ratio, and provide environmental benefits for agro-ecosystems. This study was conducted to evaluate the crop-livestock recycling indicators of Korean Hanwoo farms. 55 Korean beef farms were classified into five types. Organic Hanwoo farms were insufficient the area of forage crop cultivation required for Hanwoo certification in Korea, with forage crop sufficiency index of 49.6%. The forage self sufficiency index of grazing eco-farms was 108.5%, and self-certified (PGS) and conventional livestock farms was only 24.5 and 25.6%, respectively. The forage self sufficiency index was 60.4, 52.9, and 111.9% for Hanwoo + grassland crop, Hanwoo + forage crop + rice, and Hanwoo + grassland combined farms, respectively. Livestock density was 10.3 LSU (livestock units)/ha for organic Korean cattle farms, which was lower than 25.6 LSU/ha for conventional farms. In addition, the livestock density of grassland eco-farms was the lowest at 3.4 LSU/ha. Livestock density was 12.2 LSU/ha in the southern region, which was lower than in the central-northern region. In conclusion, forage crop sufficiency and livestock density are considered valid indicators for assessing the level of crop-livestock integrated agriculture.

To investigate the suitable growing area for Italian ryegrass (cv. Kowinearly and cv. Green-Call), we survey the different effects of climatic conditions on plant growth in the east (hereafter termed Yeongdong) and west (hereafter termed Yeongseo) of the passes in Gangwon Province. The Italian ryegrass was grown in Gangneung of Yeongdong and Wonju and Chuncheon of Yeongseo. The plants showed growth differences depending on the cultivated regions between before and after wintering. The Italian ryegrass for pre-wintering showed the relatively long length of plant height in Wonju. While, we observed the relatively tall plants for growing- and harvestingperiod after wintering in Gangneung. The increased plant height in Gangneung was closely related to all climatic conditions for the growing period and mean- and lowest-temperature for the harvesting period, respectively. The amount of dry matter was 7,490 kg/ha for Kowinearly and 6,490 kg/ha for Green-Call in Gangneung, which has a higher yield than Chuncheon and Wonju. The relative yield index of dry matter was 77% (Kowinearly) and 78% (Green-Call) in Chuncheon and 84% (Kowinearly) and 71% (Green-Call) in Wonju compared to Gangneung as the standard region. Thus, we suggest that Chuncheon and Wonju are the possible areas for cultivation of Italian ryegrass, considering that Gangneung was the optimum growing area in Gangwon Province.

The field experiment was carried out to evaluate changes of dry matter productivity and feed value of Italian ryegrass and triticale at different growth stages in Wonju from 2018 to 2019. Italian ryegrass and triticale forages were harvested at an interval of seven days from May to June. The dry matter yield of Italian ryegrass with 7,870 kg/ha harvested on May 16 was significantly higher than that harvested on May 3 and May 9. The dry matter yield of triticale with 12,050 kg/ha harvested on June 7 was significantly higher than that harvested from May 3 to May 16. The crude protein yields harvested on May 16 were 890 kg/ha for Italian ryegrass and 1,103 kg/ha for triticale and were significantly higher than those harvested on May 3 and May 9. The total digestible nutrient yield(TDN) of Italian ryegrass with 5,223 kg/ha harvested on May 16 was significantly higher than that harvested on May 3 and May 9. The total digestible nutrient yield of triticale with 8,277 kg/ha harvested on June 7 was significantly higher than that harvested during May, but not different from that harvested after June 7. Considering the dry matter yield, crude protein yield and total digestible nutrient yield, it is suggested that the optimal harvesting times for Italian ryegrass and triticale seem to be May 16 and June 7, respectively.

This experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of Chlorella culture solution using anaerobic digestate as medium on seed germination of perennial ryegrass seeds. Four treatments were compared: control with distilled water, anaerobic digestate, Chlorella culture solution and Chlorella culture filtrate. The germination percentage of perennial ryegrass seeds was highest in the Chlorella culture solution treatment. Days required for 50, 70% seed germination were faster at 1.7 day in Chlorella culture solution compared to control. Root length of perennial ryegrass seeds was longer by 1~2cm in the Chlorella culture solution compared with control. The relative root length was by 40% longer in the Chlorella culture solution treatment compared to control. The germination index (GI) of perennial ryegrass seeds was higher by 180~202% in the Chlorella culture solution treatment compared to control. The decay rate was low as 50.0% in Chlorella culture solution, but decay rate of perennial ryegrass seeds showed 86.7~83.3% in control plot and in anaerobic digestate, respectively. Chlorella culture solution have shown stimulatory effects in germination and development of root. Overall, Chlorella culture solution could be useful to apply for promotion of germination and root elongation of seeds.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of nutrients balanced fertilizers applications, swine liquid manure(SLM) with synthetic chemical fertilizer on growth and yield of Chinese chive(Allium tuberosum Rottler) and soil properties in green house cultivation during 2015 growing season. There are 4 treatment plots; swine liquid manure(SLM), nutrients balanced fertilizers(mixture of chemical fertilizer with swine liquid manure(SLM+CF), nutrient balanced and pH adjustment (SLM+CF+pH) and the conventional chemical fertilizer(control). The phosphorous acid is added to adjust pH in animal liquid manure. The yield of Chinese chive in plot of swine liquid manure(SLM) was decreased by 4% compared with plot of conventional chemical fertilizer(control). There was no significant differences of growth and yield of Chinese chive between SLM+CF and control. The yield of SLM+CF+pH plot was highest yield as 8,235 kg 10a-1 among 4 treatments and was increased than that of swine liquid manure plot(7,489 kg 10a-1). EC and available P2O5 were decreased by SLM+CF+pH treatment. Combined application of SCM and CF fertilizer can be a useful tool, particularly for the fertigation culture of Chinese chive in greenhouse. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that the combined application of liquid swine manure and chemical nutrients was responsible for improving yield of Chinese chive and soil properties.

Anaerobic digestion is a collection of naturally occurring processes that convert organic matter and liquid residue, so-called digestate. The use of digestate biofertilizers is one of the important components of integrated nutrient management, as they are renewable sources of plant nutrients for sustainable agriculture. Seeds of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) were germinated in different concentration of Chlorella in order to investigate it’s the effect of Chlorella on growth parameters, seed germination and early growth. The experiment using plug tray was conducted at the green house placed in the Sangji University. The experiment consisted of nine treatments including different concentrations of Chlorella sp. culture solution and non-treated control. The germination percentage at the treatment with 25% Chlorella sp. culture solution was greater than that of control. The 50% concentration of Chlorella sp. culture solution was found to promote a better seedling growth in terms of shoot length, fresh weight and dry weight compared to the anaerobic digestate. Results showed that the best concentration of Chlorella culture solution was achieved by the 50% concentration of Chlorella culture solution treatment. As a conclusion, the application of Chlorella culture solution was found to be able to promote the germination and shoots growth of Italian ryegrass
