The study was conducted to gather basic information on the occurrence of phytophagous nematodes for the establishment of nematode management strategy in major highland crop production such as chinese cabbage, carrot and potato. Soil samples were collected from five areas in 48 fields in the highland and sub-highland (425m to 1136m asl) areas in 2006. Majority (88%) of the soil samples contained the root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne hapla. The average density of the root-knot nematodes in chinese cabbage, carrot and potato fields were 8.3, 18.0 and 25.9 nematodes/100g soil, respectively. Helicotylenchus sp., Pratylenchus sp. and Dorylaimida sp. were also detected but in low densities.Root-knot nematode damage was not detected in potato growth and harvest at 0, 2, 12, 23 nematodes/100g soil densities.

As suggested by Kawashima (2006), the most abundant Tetranychidae was Tetranychus sp. as a pest in persimmon orchards. The observatory orchards were selected 16 in total, 2 from Gurye, 2 from Gwangyang, and 2 from Suncheon in Jeonnam Province and 3 from Jinju, 4 from Sacheon, and 3 from Sancheong in Gyeongnam Province. Number of mites in 100 persimmon leaves were observed from each orchards nearly every ten days. Careful rearing of the mites sample collected from the four observaory persimmon fields at which the mite had occurred the most seriously among 16 fields and results from taxanomical identification process indicated that the species was identified Tetranychus urticae. Maximum number of T. urticae reached to 436 on 27 June at Jeongdong, Sacheon, 108 on 1 August at Sinann, Sancheong, 406 on 26 June Okgok, Gwangyang, and 509 on 15 June Muncheok, Gurye. When the number reached to more than 400 mites, the persimmon leaves changed from clear yellow dots, to pale yellow, and to grey in the backside. An experiment was conducted to control T. urticae and to select highly active miticide in persimmon orchards in Jinju and Sacheon. Spiromesifen 20SC and acequinosyl 15 SC were effective.

This survey was conducted from 1992 to 2005 in the major apple producing districts in southern part of South Korea including 4~8 cities, to know the occurrence and damage level of two major pests, Carposina sasakii and Grapholita molesta that attack apple fruit. The fruit damage by G. molesta during the harvest period ranged from 0.02 to 1.64%. A tendency of higher damage of G. molesta was observed after 1997 compared with the previous years. The other hand, the fruit damage by C. sasakii was 0.02 to 1.30%, and the damage level was very low with fruit damage of ＜ 0.3% except 1998. The orchard infested with G. molesta was 13 to 71%, while 12 to 57% with C. sasakii. The rates of orchards where fruit damage by G. molesta was found were higher than those by C. sasakii after 1997. The tendency of fruit damage rates in the orchard where the most fruit damage was found was same with the trend of orchard rates infested with the pests. The maximum damage rate by G. molesta was 20.0% in 2005, while 4.5% by C. sasakii in 1998. The damaged shoot rates by the first generation G. molesta was 0.1~8.1%, and it had a positive correlation with the rates of fruit damage during the harvest period. Consequently, it is concluded that G. molesta is dominant species compared with C. sasakii in commercial apple orchards recently.

Korean music educators have wondered when they face with many non-music major university students. The fields of music deal with many areas: performance, music apprehension, music history, music therapy, and music theory, etc. Lecturers have no time to teach such vast areas of musical fields in one semester. Thus a questionnaire regarding non music major students` musical experiences has been provided to 315 students in two universities. The X2 shows us the differences between female and male students` preferences for music. Many students had little experienced in systematic learning for music in their previous schools. Beside regular music courses provided by the previous schools, most of Korean students` music related experiences are limited to play the piano in their childhood. This tendency occurs more frequent to female students than male, since female students had more an experience to play instruments than male students in their childhood. Piano is the most favorite instrument to girls, violins and flutes are the next favoured. Some of their musical activities were largely related to church activities. Other results show that most of male students had little experience to read music score and tend to buy more music CDs than female students. The reason why male students tend to buy some more CDs than female students is maybe caused by their lack of musical backgrounds in high school years through the specific Korean educational circumstances. Most of students prefer listening more instrumental music than vocal music. While female students played the piano, male students had more experience to play the guitar, etc.

황해와 북동중국해에는 중국의 황하와 양쯔강 그리고 한국의 강들로부터 많은 양의 부유물질이 공급되어 대륙붕 해역에 여러 개의 니질 퇴적체가 발달하고 있으나, 이들 퇴적체에서 두 기원을 설명할 수 있는 퇴적-지화학적 요인은 아직까지 명확하게 제시되고 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 한국과 중국 기원 강 퇴적물의 주성분 원소의 함량 특성을 비교 연구하고, 그 결과를 토대로 황해와 북동중국해 퇴적물에 적용 가능한 기원지 추적자를 제시하였다. 본 연구를 위해 총 102개의 강과 연안 퇴적물에 대한 주성분 원소(Al, Fe, Mg, K, Ca, Na, Ti)들의 함량을 유도결합플라즈마 분석기를 이용하여 분석하였으며, 이와 함께 입도효과를 최소화하기위해 원시료를 실트(60∼20μm)와 점토 구간(<20μm)으로 분리하여 주성분 원소 함량과 스트론튬 동위원소 비(87Sr/86Sr)를 분석하였다. 연구결과, 새로운 방법의 입도보정을 통한 Fe/Al과 Mg/Al 함량 비는 매우 유용한 잠재적 추적자로 제시되며, 이러한 결과는 입자 분리된 실트와 점토 퇴적물에서 더욱 뚜렷하다. 또한 실트 구간의 퇴적물에서 한국 기원의 87Sr/86Sr 비는 0.7229∼0.7253(평균 0.7243) 범위로 중국 기원 퇴적물(0.7169∼0.7189, 평균 0.7179)과 뚜렷한 차이를 보여, 황해와 북동중국해에서 한국과 중국 기원의 퇴적물을 구분할 수 있는 중요한 지화학적 성분으로 평가된다. 이러한 잠재적 추적자들에 근거할 때, 한국 서남해에 발달하고 있는 니질 퇴적대의 전퇴적물은 한국과 중국의 혼합 기원으로 해석되나, 실트와 점토 구간의 퇴적물로 나누어 볼 때 그기원이 각각 다르게 나타났다. 즉, 점토 퇴적물은 한국과 중국의 혼합 기원으로, 실트 퇴적물은 한국 기원이 우세한 것으로 해석된다.

This study was conducted to examine the problems that would arise in our cropping systems when introducing Gain Threshold (GT) which is an important element in determining Economic Injury Level (EIL). Gain Threshold (GT) can be defined as the amount of damage (= yield loss) to justify management, and calculated by dividing the management costs by the market crop price. GTs for some pests in rice, soybean, and greenhouse vegetable crops cultivation were estimated and also compared with those in foreign countries. GTs and percentage of yield loss equivalent to them were estimated to be 4.6-6.1 ㎏/10a/season and 1.0-1.3% for brown planthopper, white-backed planthopper, rice water weevil, and sheath blight, whereas for rice blast in rice cultivation were 12.7 ㎏/10a/season and 2.7%. In soybean cultivation, the values for bean bug were 6.2 ㎏/10a/season and 3.6%. GTs and percentage of yield loss estimated for melon thrips, whitefly, and downy mildew in cucumber cultivation were 10.0-12.6 ㎏/10a/week, 1.4-1.7%, and the values for two spotted mite and gray mildew in strawberry cultivation were 3.1-3.5 ㎏/10a/week, 1.3-1.5%, and the values for American leaf minor, whitefly, and gray mold in tomato were 8.4-9.7 ㎏/10a/week, 1.7-1.9%. Overall GTs in our cropping systems were so low compared to those in foreign countries, which meant that the low GTs might yield the low EILs. Therefore, we could suggest that prior to direct introduction of GTs calculated from current cultivation systems in developing EILs it is necessary to seriously consider reasonable values of GTs or the yield loss equivalents to them.

본 연구는 신갈나무군락, 소나무군락, 아까시나무군락, 리기다소나무군락을 대상으로 최근 11년간(1994~2005년) 식생구조 변화상태를 분석하여 생태적 복원 기초자료 제공을 목적으로 하였다. 4개 군락내에 설정한 고정조사구(1,200m2)내 식생구조 조사결과, 교목층에서는 기존 우점수종들이 지속적으로 세력을 유지 확대하고 있었으며 아교목층은 도시환경에 적응성 이 높은 때죽나무, 관목층 국수나무의 세력을 증가하였다. 샤논의 종다양도 분석결과 신갈나무군락(1.0921→1.0381→1.0633), 소나무군락(0.7071→0.8553→1.0164), 아까시나무군락(0.9255→0.8392→0.8721)은 1998년에 급격히 감소하였다가 최근에 증가하는 추세이었고 리기다소나무군락은 1998년 0.9008에서 2005년 0.8850로 감소하였다. 종수 및 개체수도 유사한 경향이었다. 토양산도는 4.34~5.31로 20년에 비해 다소 양호해졌다.

Insect pests attacking the leaf of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) were surveyed in environmentally frendly leaf-lettuce-greenhouses in Hwaseong, Namyangju, and Suwon from 2003 to 2004. Sixteen insect species of eleven families in eight orders were collected in greenhouses. Among them, Acyrthosiphon solani, Frankliniella occidentalis, and Autographa nigrisigna were the most serious pest species because of their damage ratio was over 30%. Population of Acyrthosiphon solani showed the highest peak one or two times between mid-April and early June in both the second and the third cropping period. Frankliniella occidentalis reached the highest peak one or two times, the first peak between mid-June and the late July, and the second peak between the mid-August and the mid-October. Autographa nigrisigna reached the highest peak one or times between early June and late July and in the mid-August to late October. The highest peak occurrence of A. solani was observed in early June as many as 4,836 nymphs and adults per 100 leaves. And for F. occidentalis it was in early July occurring 437 larvae and adults per 100 leaves, for A. nigrisigna in early October occurring 42 larvae per 100 leaves. The density of F. occidentalis and its damage as well was greater in soil culture than in hydroponic culture, but in case of both A. solani and A. nigrisigna no such difference between cropping systems was found.

This study was conducted to get basic information on the occurrence of plant-parasitic nematodes for the establishment of nematode management strategy in major potato production areas in Korea. Nationwide soil collection was done in 11 areas of Cheju, Yesan, Gimchun, Goryoung, Hong chun, Pyungchang, Gimjae, Milyang, Namwon, Gangnung, and Inje in 2004-2005. Root-knot nematode juveniles(J2) were detected in 30 samples among the 50 samples. The average density was 12-69 J2/100㏄ soil. Pratylenchus sp., Helicotylenchus sp., Ditylenchus sp., Tylenchus sp., and Tylenchorh-ynchus sp. were also detected in various locations, however, their densities were very low. Root-knot nematode females were collected from tomato roots inoculated with the potato field soils for PCR-RFLP identification. The females from Cheju, Milyang, and Goryung showed PCR products of 500 bp. And the Dra I restriction enzyme digestions showing 290 bp and 230 bp fragments confirmed their identity as Meloidogyne hapla.

광주광역시 향등지역에서 화강암의 풍화에 따른 토양단면의 지화학적 특성을 파악하기 위하여 11개의 시료를 화학분석 하였다. 모암에서부터 풍화암까지 주성분원소 중 Si, Ca, Na, Mg, P, Mn은 감소하고 Ti, Fe, K는 증가하는 경향을 보인다. 미량성분원소의 경우 Rb, Sr, Pb, Ba은 증가하는 경향을 보이며, As, Co늘 감소하는 경향을 보인다. 또한 Zn, Cr, Ni등은 부분적으로 집적된 경향을 보이나 전체적으로는 모암과 풍화토에서 거의 비슷한 함량을 갖는다. 희토류원소는 전체적으로 상부로 갈수록 증가하는데 경희토류원소(LREE)는 풍화초기에 기반암에서 용탈되어 풍화암(saprock)에서 집적되지만, 중희토류원소(HREE)의 경우는 상대적으로 집적되지 못하여 풍화초기에 약간 감소하는 경향을 나타낸다.
