The cultivation of green manure crops provide various beneficial influences on agricultural systems. However, there have been few studies on the use of green manure crops on upland field in Korea. The purpose of this study is the selection of green manure crop species suitable for subsequent upland crops. For this study, two leguminous green manure crops and four graminaceous crops were used as following: (1) hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth), (2) crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum), (3) barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), (4) rye (Secale cereale L.), (5) triticale (Triticosecale wittmack), (6) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Plant-available nitrogen (PAN) release from each green manure crops was estimated using PAN prediction equation. Graminaceous green manure crops produced more biomass (dry plant matter) up to 1.5 times than leguminous crops. However, PAN % was much higher in leguminous crops due to their high nitrogen content (2.4 ～ 4.4%). In late may, hairy vetch was estimated to provide PAN as much as 11kg/10a which meet nitrogen need for nearly all (except waxy corn) upland crops used in this study. However, PAN from crimson clover and graminaceous green manure crops was much lower mainly due to low biomass production and low nitrogen content, respectively. Overall, hairy vetch could be most appropriate green manure crop for upland crop cultivation in Korea.

단간 내도복성 ‘소담찰’ 수수의 논 재배 시 안정적인 수량확보를 위해 파종시기 및 재식거리에 따른 생육 특성과 종실생산성에 대한 시험을 2014년 경기도 수원의 국립식량과학원시험포장에서 수행한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 출수기는 6월 10일 파종에서 62일로 가장 빨랐으며, 비닐피복재배에서 파종기가 늦을수록 출수기가 빨라지는 경향이뚜렷하였다. 2. 파종기에 따라서는 6월 20일 파종에서 생육이 급격히 감소하였고 간경, 분지수, 천립중에서 유의적인 차이를 보였고,피복유무에 따른 간장, 간경, 분지수에서도 유의성을 보였다. 3. 주당종실중과 종실수량은 파종기별 비닐피복재배에서는유의적인 차이가 인정되지 않았으나 무피복재배에서는 6월 20일 파종에서 주당종실중이 17.7g, 종실수량이 212 kg/10a으로가장 적었으며, 파종기 간에 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 4. 소담찰 수수는 간장이 평균 90 cm로 매우 작아 논 재배에서 문제가 되는 도복에 강한 경향을 보였으며, 이삭길이는소식재배에서 길어지는 경향을 보였고 간장, 간경, 분지수, 이삭길이, 천립중은 재식밀도 간에 유의성을 보이지 않았다. 5. 주당종실중과 종실수량은 재식밀도 간에 유의한 영향을주지 않았으나 주당종실중은 60×25cm (6,600본/10a)의 소식재배에서 48.0 g으로 가장 많았으며, 10a당 종실수량은 60 × 15 cm(1본)과 60 × 30 cm(2본)의 밀식재배에서 각각 427 kg, 415 kg으로 가장 증수되어 소담찰은 밀식적응성이 높은 경향이었다. 6. 따라서 소담찰 수수는 기계수확 등 생력기술을 적용하여논 대면적 재배를 위해 파종기는 6월 10일, 재식밀도는11,000주/10 a [60 × 15 cm(1본), 60 × 30 cm (2본)가 유리한 것으로 판단된다.

Blast resistance of 29 rice cultivars confirmed as a durable resistance in the evaluation of sequential planting from 2004 to 2006 was evaluated to nursery screening in 14 test sites during 11 years in Korea. The average disease severity (ADS) of 29 rice varieties against rice blast showed 3.5 degree; however, the difference of disease severity among the varieties was from 1.9 to 4.8. The 29 varieties were grouped into resistance less than 3.0 ADS degree including 12 varieties and moderate resistance over 3.1 ADS degree including 17 varieties. Among the 12 rice cultivars presented low ADS, 4 rice cultivars, Ungwang, Pungmi 1, Sinunbong 1, and Dasan 1 were constantly appeared high resistant reaction during 11 years in all test sites and the others were showed various diseases severity across the test years and the test sites. Twenty-one rice cultivars including Gopum were more variable among the test sites while the others were higher variable among the test years. These results indicated that durable resistance test against rice blast using sequential planting is a very efficient screening method to predict durability and nursery test for long periods and also useful method to predict indirectly durable resistance of rice cultivars.

The AMMI (additive main effects and multiplicative interaction) and GGE (genotype main effect and genotype by environment interaction) biplot which were accounted for a substantial part of total sum of square in the analysis of variance suggested to be more appropriate models for explaining G x E interaction. The grain yield of total ten sesame genotypes was significantly affected by environment which explained 61% of total variation, whereas genotype and genotype x environment interaction (G x E) were explained 16%, 24% respectively. From the results of experiment, three genotypes Miryang49, Koppoom and Ansan were unstable, whereas other three genotypes Kyeongbuk18, Miryang50 and Kanghuk which were shorter projections to AEA ordinate were relatively stable over the environments. Yangbak which was closeness to the mean yield and short projection of the genotype marker lines was regarded as genotype indicating good performance with stability. Ansan, Miryang48 and Yangbaek showed the best performance in the environments of Naju, Suwon, Iksan and Andong. Similarly, genotype Miyrang47 exhibited the best performance in the environments of Chuncheon and Miryang. Andong is the closest to the ideal environment, and therefore, is the most desirable among eight environments.
