Pasture formation and management are crucial to avoid yield reduction. This experiment aimed to examine the effects of tall fescue-centered mixed-seeding combinations on yield and vegetation changes in perennial pastures in the central region for two years, from September 2020 to October 2022. The treatments were arranged in three replications in a randomized block design: control (C), tall fescue-based mixture-1 (T-1), and tall fescue-based mixture-2 (T-2). The tall fescue (TF), orchard grass (OG), perennial ryegrass (PRG), Kentucky bluegrass (KBG), and white clover (WC) were used. The emergency rate of grasses (70.0 to 73.3%) did not differ among mixed seeding combinations. Overwintering rates (81.7 to 83.3%) were similar among treatments. The plant height of grasses was similar at each harvest date, with the highest height (86.2 cm) recorded in the second harvest of the first year, followed by that (58.4 cm) in the third harvest of the first year; it was least (38.9 cm) in the fourth harvest of the second year. There was no significant difference in the dry matter yield of grasses among the mixed seeding combination treatments in the first, third, or fourth harvests of the first year (p>0.05). For second-year grasses, dry matter yield was not significantly different in harvest date among the treatments (p>0.05). Based on mixed seeding ratio, orchard grass showed the highest yield at 70% in the C treatment, followed by tall fescue at 80% and 60% in the T-1 and T-2 treatments, respectively, in the first harvest after seeding. There was no significant difference in feed value between treatments (p>0.05), but a significant difference was observed between the third and fourth harvest (p<0.05). Therefore, it indicated that it is important to create perennial pastures in the central region through mixed seeding combinations centered on tall fescue.
This study analyzed what premium features significantly affect customer satisfaction and their recommendation, and what factors significantly affect product attributes. In the process, first, the loyalty program and the customer compensation program were studied to determine the impact of the customer satisfaction and recommendation. The study analyzed that quality and design of product properties had significant effects on all factors, but the brand was not significantly affected. Second, while superiority, differentiation and scarcity of luxury items are significant to customer satisfaction but superiority is only significant in relation to recommendation intention. Third, the preceding study shows that the customer compensation program has a significant impact on sales growth, but the study found that it was not for imported luxury car customers. Fourth, if the royalties program is low in awareness, it has been analyzed that the scarcity and customer satisfaction relationships among luxury goods have been adjusted. On the contrary, if there is a high level of awareness, it is analyzed that there is a control effect customer satisfaction and differentiation among luxury brands. In the conclusion, in order to satisfy customers at the import luxury car market, the differentiation of luxury goods by standard index must be strengthened and the brand must be strengthened among the attributes of the product. In addition, by raising awareness of the royalties program, the relationship between differentiation and customer satisfaction can be enhanced.
The pre-treatment conditions of butterbur stem such as blanching, freezing, and thawing were studied to optimize it for producing frozen butterbur stem to improve its storage ability. Butterbur stems were hot water blanched at 100oC for 3, 5, or 7 min respectively and then soaked in cold water. After peeling out and cutting into blocks (4.5×1.0×0.5 cm), butterbur stems were air-dried for 5, 10, or 15 min respectively. Dried samples were analyzed for their physicochemical properties. With blanching, the hardness value increased from 2.91 kg to 3.64 kg (p>0.05); however, adhesiveness decreased drastically after 5 min of blanching (p<0.05), which changed to a crisp texture. In addition, considering other physicochemical properties, it was assumed that 5-min blanching was optimal pre-treatment to maintain the original quality of butterbur stem for freezing. Five-minute blanched butterbur stems were airdried 5 min, frozen and thawed with several methods, and analyzed for their properties. Considering the thawing loss, hardness, and color change, the fastest freezing and thawing method had the lowest changes on the quality of frozen butterbur stem. Therefore, to produce frozen butterbur stem, it was assumed that immersion freezing and running water or room temperature thawing (25oC) were the best process.
