Background : To control ginseng gray mold, farmers have mainly used inorganic chemical based fungicides. The recent emergence of fungicide resistance has reduced the effectiveness of such control methods. Such pesticides also carry additional problems, such as diffuse pollution. Methods and Results : Six treatments of organic agricultural materials were tested for control of ginseng gray mold, CAPW (Chrysophanic acid + Phytoncide +Wood vinegar), EmEWV (Emodin + Ethanol +Wood vinegar), CEWV (Curcumin + Eugenol +Wood vinegar), Bacillus subtilis, soybean oil and sulfur. The control effect for gray mold by a single application of the agrochemical fungicide industrial Fenhexamid wettable powder (WP) was 84.4%. The control effect by CAPW, EmEWV and CEWV varied between 52.7 - 64.9%. The control effect by B. subtilis, soybean oil, and sulfur were 32.9 - 59.2%. Conclusions : In the field tests, CAPW showed the highest control effects when used before, and at first stage of disease incidence, against ginseng gray mold.

The objective of this study is to analyze the properness, effectiveness and sustainability on the large-scale environment-friendly agricultural districts (LEAD). For this, we survey 11 public officers who manage the LEAD. Most of them aware necessities of LEAD project. They have a higher satisfaction and think that the project affect ripple effect and contribution on environment-friendly agriculture. Main performance expected of the LEAD project is a spread of natural circulation agriculture in connection with cultivation and stockbreeding. For continuance of environment-friendly agriculture after the project, it is necessary to find markets of products. Also policy making related with environment-friendly agricultural technique is required. The results of this study show that the LEAD project need a modification based on field and change of agricultural issues.

The objective of this study is to analyze the performance and farmer’s awareness on the large-scale environment-friendly agricultural districts (LEAD). For this, we survey 393 farmers who cultivate in the 14 LEAD. Most of farmers aware a necessity of LEAD project. They have a higher awareness and practical use on the ‘production facilities and equipments for environment-friendly agricultural materials’ and ‘resource recovery center of crop-animal farming’. The spread and consciousness on the environment-friendly agriculture increase before LEAD project. Also the environment-friendly agricultural areas and incomes slightly increase. The results of this study show that the LEAD project need a modification in to response to change of agricultural issues and customer’s needs.

This study analyze the policy efficiency of the environment-friendly farming zone program using data envelopment analysis. On analyzed results, the average policy efficiency is 0.185 and 98.3% of zones are inefficient. 97.8% of zones are in increasing returns to scales. The empirical results indicate that more work need to be done to increase the efficiency of the program.

This study was conducted to select and develop effect of eco-friendly organic materials for the eco-friendly prevention of Anthracnose occurred in the ginseng. Anthracnose on ginseng is occurred by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and the crop damage is severe especially from July to August after rainy season. The test results showed that control effect by test products materials on the three years ginseng and four years ginseng field was lower in eco-friendly organic materials than that of chemical pesticide. However, the control effect of bordeaux mixture was higher with 71.3% and 73.8% levels than those of mineral matter, microbial agent, and developed plants extract mixtures (Eugenol, Curcumin, Wood vinegar, etc). On the other hand, three types of developed plants extract mixtures (3 types) showed control effect in a range of from 58.1% to 63.6% against Anthracnose which was higher as compared with plant extract alone and sodium silicate regardless of ages of ginseng. The results of this study would attribute in verifying the control effect of eco-friendly materials against Anthracnose for ginseng through investigating antimicrobial compounds contained in the plants body. Also, it would be used as control method against Anthracnose occurred in ginseng by judging the right control time through monitoring occurrence of disease.

This case study surveyed management situations of environmentally friendly farming(EFF) producers’ organization and their main activities. Farmers are aging as an average age of 55-year old and producing fruit-bearing vegetables. The EFF did not increase farmer’s income, however, price and income was stabilized more than that of conventional farming because of contract farming. Farm household liabilities are caused by purchasing agricultural machinery, materials and so on. Farmers of EFF have been also cultivating conventional farming, but they don’t plan much conversion intention of conventional farming into EFF owing to lack of differentiated and stable market for their EFF products. And they are guessing that EFF income will increase a little. For increasing of EFF income, they think that it is necessary to reduce production cost, produce high quality production, develop processing foods, enlarge contract farming and so on.

This study was conducted to select environmental friendly organic materials for controlling the ginseng alternaria blight and to evaluate their effects from 2011 to 2012. Alternaria blight is caused by Alternaria panax and is the most common ginseng disease in Korea. Environmental friendly organic materials were used to reduce amount of chemical fungicides and the number of spray for control of Ginseng Alternaria leaf blight. In 4 years of ginseng, control value of Alternaria leaf blight by single application of Defenoconazole WP was 82.3% and those of single application was 62.0~75.9%. Consequently, mixed or alternated application of eco-material products could be recommended as a control method to reduce the amount of fungicides.

The Purpose of this paper is to suggest sustainable strategies of the project for developing large-scale environment-friendly agricultural districts (LSEAD). This study used assessment 3 indicators, efficiency, impact and sustainability of environmentfriendly agricultural certification area and farmers, management situations of croplivestock circulation center, educations for environment-friendly farming, changes of farmer’s income and so on. This project has contributed to develop environment-friendly agriculture and model of LSEAD. And for sustainable development of LSEAD, it is necessary to renovate crop-livestock circulation centers, promote organic farming of resource-circulation type, converse to non-pesticide or organic farming of low pesticide one, do active marketing activities, establish a governance system of business projects and so forth.

This case study surveyed management situations of environmentally friendly farming (EFF) and their awareness situations. Farmers are aging as an average age of 62-year old. The EFF did not increase farmer’s income, however, farm income of EFF was more than that of conventional farming. Farm household liabilities showed large deviation among farmers. Livestock and greenhouse farm households have more liabilities because of facilities and feed cost. Farmers of EFF have been also cultivating conventional farming, but they don’t plan much conversion intention of conventional farming into EFF owing to lack of differentiated and stable market for their environment-friendly agriculture products. And they are guessing that EFF income will usually not increase more. For increasing of EFF income, they think that it is necessary to enlarge production area, change to high-income crop, develop processing foods, change to organic farming and so on.

This study was performed to investigate the recognition of Korean farmers for the safety of environment-friendly organic materials (EFOMs). The main purchase line of environment-friendly organic materials was the sustainable agriculture organizations, and decisive basis for the materials purchase was because they thought that agricultural produce cultivated with EFOMs were safe. Currently farmers obtained the most information about EFOMs through farmer’s education operated by agricultural technology center. Sixty nine percent of respondents hoped that they would get the information on the website and through official education opened by of the government or relative institutions. Whereas, only a few respondents hoped that they would get the information from the sellers. Therefore we thought that government and related institutions should operate the education program to give the sellers the scientific and accurate information about EFOMs. In addition, farmers are highly recognized the necessity of safety-related information provided by government and related institutions. Most Farmers thought that safety education for farmers using EFOMs was very important. Also, it was confirmed that farmer respondents thought to need to establish the shelf-life and user guideline and to label about toxic category of EFOMs. The Cronbach’ alpha coefficient calculated in order to verify the reliability of survey questions was 0.699. That value indicates that responses of the respondents in this study might be reliable.

The Purpose of this paper is to analysis on farmer’s awareness and satisfaction level of the project for developing large-scale environment-friendly agricultural districts (LSEAD). To analysis farmer’s awareness and satisfaction level, a series of farm household surveys were conducted on farmers, take part in the project for developing LSEAD. The sample size of the survey is 80 respectively. As a survey result, awareness and practical use of facilities & equipment shows a little different outcome. Satisfaction level of the project for developing LSEAD is summarized as follows. Influence on disposal of livestock excretions and farmer’s consciousness change appears 4.47 and spreading environment-friendly agriculture 4.44, distribution of environment-friendly agricultural product 4.33, and demand of environment-friendly agricultural materials 4.04. In order to sustainable development of LSEAD, a governance system should be established.

The Purpose of this paper is to establish development strategies for sustainability of environment-Friendly agriculture based on farm awareness analysis. To analysis farm management, a series of farm household surveys were conducted on farmers residing in Embong-Myun. The sample size of the survey is 108 respectively. As a survey result, satisfaction level about market stability and understanding of upper organization is high, on the contrary, awareness of related organization is low in a relative sense. Most of farmers reveal their intention to sustain environment- Friendly agriculture but future agriculturalist and an ageing society that one face as well. In order to establish development strategies for sustainability of environment- Friendly agriculture, an infrastructure should be consistently expanded. On the other hand, self-supporting ability of farmer’s organization and education system attempt to expand for sustainability.

본 연구는 방글라데시의 친환경농업 실태와 농업인들의 인식을 바탕으로 친환경농업 개발에 대한 정부의 역할과 정책적 대안을 모색하고자 하였다. 연구 자료는 방글라데시 탕가일 지역의 농업인을 대상으로 유기농가 100가구와 일반농가 100가구를 무작위로 추출하여 설문조사를 통하여 수집되었다. 인구 과밀의 방글라데시 정부는 식량안보를 위하여 지력 저하 및 환경악화를 방지하고자 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 즉 지속 가능한 농업개발을 위하여 통합해충관리(IPM), 통합작물 관리(ICM)를 비롯하여 토양의 비옥도 개선, 페로몬트랩이나 자연 천적을 이용한 해충방제 등 다양한 프로그램을 운영하고 있다. 농업인들의 의견 조사에 따르면 친환경농업에 대한 정부의 역할은 긍정적으로 평가하고 있으나 정책이나 관련 프로그램은 아직 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 일반농가인 경우 극히 소수 농가만이 친환경농업을 실행하고 있는데, 이는 관련기술에 대한 지식의 부족과 유기농 비료 등의 자재 부족이 친환경농업을 실행하는데 가장 큰 어려움이라 지적하고 있다. 일반 농가의 39%는 유기농업 의사를 보이고 있지만 마케팅시설의 부족과 농사 실패에 대한 두려움 등을 유기농으로 전환하지 못하는 주요 이유로 들고 있다. 일반농가의 일부(17%)만이 정부의 농업교육 프로그램임인 통합해충관리(IPM)과정을 이수하고 있다. 정부의 유기농 정책은 거의 전무하며 NGO들의 지원에 의하여 꾸준하게 진행되고 있을 뿐이다. 따라서 농업인들은 통합해충관리(IPM), 유기농 퇴비, 페로몬트랩이나 자연 천적 등 매우 다양한 농민교육프로그램들을 정부 주도적으로 실시하여야 하며 친환경농업정책을 보다 명확하게 규정하기를 요구하고 있다. 비교적 젊고 교육수준이 높은 소규모 농업인들 이 유기농에 적극적임을 알 수 있다. 유기농의 평균 농지규모는 0.246ha, 유기농 평균 경력은 7.63년, 일반농가대비 농가수 입은 11.4% 높게 나타났고 비교적 소농들이 높은 수익률을 보이고 있다. 소비자의 신뢰, 마케팅시설, 생산자단체나 조직의 부족 등이 유기농가들의 가장 큰 애로점이 되고 있고, 유기농산품의 표준화를 위하여 정부의 인증제도와 인증기관 설립이 필요함을 지적하고 있다. 유기농을 보다 활성화하기 위해서는 정부 주도하에 마케팅을 비롯하여 교육, 수출 및 각종 장려책 등이 마련되어야 할 것이다.

This study explores the development processes of organic farmers" groups that have tried to manage farming activities at the regional level. They formed the groups from different reasons and situation each other. The motives to set up the groups differ between them. Some set up for the local farmers movement, others aim to get more income from the group activities. Whatever the motives, they all have been succeeded in the agricultural sector. Many new-born farmer"s groups in organic farming sector tend to be regarded them as the models for success. Therefore, it is important to clarify how they have overcome difficult situation that may differ from group to group. This study tries to find and compare the four organic farmers groups with the factors of the historical processes for establishment, the process of business development, and the development of networks.

동작물과 하작물의 작부체계와 녹비작물을 활용하는 벼재배 기술을 개발하기 위하여 2007년과 2008년의 2년 동안 충북대학교 농업생명환경대학 농장 답작 시험포장에서 공시 녹비작물로는 두과작물인 헤어리베치와 화본과작물인 호밀을 사용하여 배 재배시 녹비작물들의 효과를 조사분석하기 위하여 수행한 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 초장은 최고분얼기, 수잉기에서 출수기에 이르기까지 완만한 속도로 컸으며, 관행처리구에서 가장 큰 약 105 cm정도를 보였고, 녹비처리구들에서는 약 100 cm 정도로 뚜렷한 차이는 아니지만 헤어리베치, 헤어리베치+호밀, 호밀처리구순으로 초장의 크기를 보였다. 최고분얼기의 분얼수는 녹비처리구에서 관행처리구에서보다 더 많았으며 헤어리베치와 헤어리베치+호밀처리구는 비슷하고 호밀처리구는 관행구와 비슷한 분얼수를 보였다. 출수기의 유효분얼수도 최고분얼기와 비교해 그 수가 줄었지만 비슷한 경향이었으며, 헤어리베치처리구에서 가장 많은 포기당 19개 정도였다. 벼의 수량 및 수량구성요소는 헤어리베치처리구가 관행구에 비해 주당수수가 뚜렷이 많았으며, 수수당 영화수도 2008년에는 관행구에서 많았지만 전반적으로 헤어리베치구에서 많았다. 천립중과 등숙율에서는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았지만 주당수수와 수수당 연화수에 의해 정조수량은 헤어리베치처리구에서 관행구에서보다 2007년에는 5.3% 2008년에는 7.9%의 더 높은 수량을 보였다. 반면에 호밀구에서는 관행구에 비교해 수량이 현저히 떨어 졌다.

The green craze has hit all the world lately. The green revolution which means immense changes for sustainable development under the new environment-economy system is foretelling that we should have new angle to the environment and economy. This paper is about the development of the model and indicators for construction of ECO(Energy Circulating Organic)-Village which is the green growth option of local community. This model is composed of three concepts - SPDC (about procedural methodology of Model), Virtuous Circle (about functional relationships of three requisites), Network (about spatial relationships between communities) - and evaluation indicators. Environment, tourism, industry (Energy & Organic Agriculture) are set as the three requisites for green growth of local community. Nations of the world plunge into the green war which is silent, general, sweeping changes. We can not win this war with the existing thinking system and policy. We need revolutionary changes reconsidering of environmental value and sustainable development strategy of the region. Each of us should go through the changes and this work would be the one among those efforts.

The purpose of the study is to investigate factors influencing the adoption of environment-friendly agriculture in greenhouse vegetable production of Jeonnam province. An interview survey were conducted during 2008, including six counties: Gwansanku of Gwangju, Gwangyang, Goheung, Damyang, Boseong, and Suncheon. Major crops grown in surveyed area were green peppers, cucumbers, strawberries, cherry tomatoes, tomatoes, and watermelons. Logit model results show that adopters of environment-friendly agriculture are more likely to participate in extensional education programs, attend educational programs on environment-friendly agriculture, have greater cultivated acreage, and have larger agriculture-only-designated farmland. However the adopters are less likely to have greater number of family members participating in farming, and live Goheung county. Efforts should be made in extensional education programs to lead more vegetable growers to adopt environment-friendly agriculture. Policy makers’ additional efforts should be followed to increase adoption rate of environment-friendly agriculture in lower adopted areas.

Rumex속 식물의 경쟁적 우세원인을 규명하고 친환경 제초제 등의 자원화 연구에 기초자료로 제공하고자 이 식물의 생육특성과 Allelopathy효과를 알아보았다. 돌소리쟁이 수용성추출액을 이용하여 벤트그라스 (Agrostis stolonifera subsp. stlolnifera), 배추(Brassica campestris subsp. napus var. pekinensis), 이탈리안라이그라 스, 토끼풀(Trifolium repens), 가시비름(Amarathus spinosus), 들묵새(Festuca myuros)등의 상대 발아율을 조사하 여 수용성 추출액이 농도가 높아질수록 발아가 억제되는 경향을 볼 수 있었다. 특히 제주도 위해식물인 가시 비름이 수용성추출액 50% 이상에서는 발아가 되지 않는 경향을 보여 선택적으로 가시비름에 많은 억제력을 보이는 것으로 연구되었다. 애기수영의 수용성 추출액을 이용하여 벤트그라스(Agrostis stolonifera subsp. stlolnifera), 도깨비바늘(Bidens bipinnata), 배추(Brassica campestris subsp. napus var. pekinensis), 크림슨클로버 (Trifolium incarnatum), 이탈리안라이그라스, 토끼풀(Trifolium repens), 등의 발아율을 조사하였는데 수용성 추 출액의 농도가 높아질수록 발아가 억제되는 경향을 보였으며, 배추의 경우 100% 수용성 추출액의 농도에서는 발아가 되지 않아 배추의 생장에 억제력이 높게 나타났다. 반면 평균발아일수는 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. Rumex속의 식물의 수용성추출액을 실험하므로써 식물의 선택적 생장억제력을 알수있었으며 이 실험자료를 토대로 친환경농가에서 대상 식물의 방제에 직접 사용해 볼 수 있고, 추후 친환경자재 개발의 기초자료 될 것으로 기대된다.
