‘Gwangyoung’, a winter forage triticale cultivar (X Triticosecale Wittmack), was developed at the Department of Rice and Winter Cereal Crop, NICS, RDA in 2018. The cultivar ‘Gwangyoung’ has leaves of wide width, medium length, and green color, and spikes of medium length and yellowish-brown color, and a large grain of yellowish-brown color. The heading date of the cultivar ‘Gwangyoung’ was April 22 which was similar to check cultivar ‘Shinyoung’. Its tolerance or resistance to cold, lodging, wet injury powdery mildew, and leaf rust were also similar to those of the check cultivar. The leaf blade ratio of ‘Gwangyoung’ (27.5%) was higher than that of ‘Shinyoung’ (21.2%). The average forage fresh and dry matter yield of cultivar ‘Gwangyoung’ at milk-ripe stages were 50.0 and 17.6 MT ha-1, respectively, which were higher than those (47.7 and 17.1 MT ha-1) of the check cultivar. The silage quality of ‘Gwangyoung’ was lower than that of the check cultivar ‘Shinyoung’ in crude protein content (5.3%) and total digestible nutrients (61.3%), while was higher than the check cultivar in neutral detergent fiber (58.2%) and acid detergent fiber (34.9%). ‘Gwangyoung’ showed the silage of 1 grade and a grain yield of 6.03 MT ha-1.

Rye, whole-crop barley and Italian Ryegrass are major winter forage species in Korea, and yield monitoring of winter forage species is important to improve forage productivity by precision management of forage. Forage monitoring using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has offered cost effective and real-time applications for site-specific data collection. To monitor forage crop by multispectral camera with UAV, we tested four types of vegetation index (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index; NDVI, Green Normalized Difference Vegetation Index; GNDVI, Normalized Green Red Difference Index; NGRDI and Normalized Difference Red Edge Index; NDREI). Field measurements were conducted on paddy field at Naju City, Jeollanam-do, Korea between February to April 2019. Aerial photos were obtained by an UAV system and NDVI, GNDVI, NGRDI and NDREI were calculated from aerial photos. About rye, whole-crop barley and Italian Ryegrass, regression analysis showed that the correlation coefficients between dry matter and NDVI were 0.91∼0.92, GNDVI were 0.92∼0.94, NGRDI were 0.71∼0.85 and NDREI were 0.84∼0.91. Therefore, GNDVI were the best effective vegetation index to predict dry matter of rye, wholecrop barley and Italian Ryegrass by UAV system.

Fungicide spraying and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) wrapping were carried out for the improvement of storage yield in winter kimchi cabbage. Acetic acid, rox, tebuconazole and fludioxonil were sprayed on the cabbage, and then cabbage boxes were wrapped with 0.02 mm polyvinyl chloride film. The weight loss ratio of wrapped cabbages were 8.62% and 15.71% in unwrapped cabbages. Trimming loss ratio was the lowest in the mixed treatment of acetic acid, rox and tebuconazole in wrapped cabbage. Physiological disorders of 90-day stored cabbage was better in wrapped cabbage, especially with the mixed treatment of acetic acid, rox and tebuconazole. Wrapping and fungicide treatment reduced the storage loss ratio and physiological disorder for storage of kimchi cabbages.

월동배추 저장 특성과 이용 시 봄배추와의 차이를 비교하였다. 월동배추의 산업현장에서 저장 특성을 조사하여, 현장에 나타나는 현상과 개선 방향을 파악하고자 하였다. 월동배추인 ‘남도장군’을 산업현장에서 저온으로 그물망 저장을 하여 16주 동안 조사한 결과, 월동배추의 외관이 변하여 상품성은 떨어졌지만, 내부 상태는 양호하여, 신선배추로 판매보다는 가공용으로 이용 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 월동배추는 저장 중에 외관 및 생체중량, SPAD지수, 색상차에서 저장 동안에 지속적으로 감소하나, 8주까지 실증 현장의 배추는 신선 배추로 판매가 가능해 보였는데, 이후 저장 종료 시까지 월동배추의 겉잎 부패로 인한 손실로 신선하게 유통하기에는 부적합해 보였다. 그러나 저장 16주간의 실증에서 월동배추 내부의 경도, 당도 등 에서는 큰 변화가 없는 것으로 나타나서, 가공 시 다듬어 손질한다면 큰 문제는 없을 것으로 판단되었다. 월동배추인 ‘남도장군’을 저장 후 봄배추인 ‘춘광’과 결구의 개체 별 특성을 비교하였는데, SSC를 제외하고는 구중과 같은 특성에서 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 저장했던 월동배추가 절임 시 조사를 통해 pH를 제외한 염 특성이나 EC에서 차이를 보이지 않아, 봄배추와 비슷한 가공 적성을 가지고 있는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 월동배추의 저장 특성을 농산업 현장에서 실증하였고, 봄배추와 저장한 월동배추의 품질과 가공용으로 이용 시 특성을 비교 검토하였다.

In this study, the humidity control effect of a counter-flow ventilator was analyzed in a greenhouse with high relative humidity at night in the winter season. A case of the counter-flow ventilator was 0.96 × 0.65× 0.82(W× D × H, m) and there were heat transfer element and two fans for air supply and exhaust in the counter-flow ventilator. Two counter-flow ventilators were used in this study and the setting humidity of the ventilators was 80%. The temperature and relative humidity at night(18:00-8:00) in the greenhouse were measured. In a greenhouse without a counter-flow ventilator, the average temperature and humidity was 14.9°C, 82.8%, respectively. When the counter-flow ventilator was operated, the corresponding averages were 15.1°C, 79.9%. The independent sample t test of monthly temperature and relative humidity showed no difference in temperature, and a significant difference in relative humidity with 1% of the significance level. Therefore, using the counter-flow ventilator helps to control relative humidity in greenhouse and increase yield.. And further research considering the pros and cons of using the counter-flow ventilator is needed.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate winter annual forage crops for yield, and horse palatability under horse grazing during the fall and spring in Jeju. The winter annual forage crops such as Italian ryegrass(IRG), rye, and oat were planted in randomized block design in October 30. The horse grazing was initiated on March 17 of the following year. At the first cutting, the dry matter yield of rye was the highest with 4,600 kg/ha compared to the IRG and oat (p<0.05). But there were no significantly different in the yield of winter annual forage crops after the second and third harvests. The total dry matter yield showed rye 12,593 kg/ha, IRG 10,941 kg/ha, and oat 9,424 kg/ha respectively. The horse intake duration of the IRG was significantly higher than the oat and rye (p<0.05). In the first grazing and the second grazing, the intake duration of the IRG was 853.2 seconds and 989.4 seconds, respectively, with oat at 147.6 seconds, and 73.0 seconds, and rye at 89.4 seconds, and 33.18 seconds. The intake duration of IRG was longer than that of oat and rye (p<0.05). The intake rate of the IRG was 60.0% in the first and 82.8% in the second, and the average intake rate was 71.4%. When considering the maintenance of pastures and the palatability of horses, the IRG is the most suitable forage crop in winter annual forage crops in Jeju.

겨울철 재배 시 중∙소과종 수박의 안정적 생산을 위한 적정 줄기유인 수와 착과 위치를 구명하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행 하였다. 줄기유인 수를 위한 시험은 아들줄기를 각각 2, 3, 4줄기로 달리하여 유인하였다. 줄기유인 수에 따른 초장, 경경, 마디수 등 생육특성은 3, 4줄기보다 2줄기에서 높은 결과를 보였다. 그러나 과중, 과고, 과폭 등 과실특성은 4줄기에서 높게 나타났다. 당도와 착과율은 줄기유인 수에 따라 유의한 차이가 없었다. 착과 위치를 위한 시험의 착과 위치는 2, 3, 4번째 암꽃으로 달리하였다. 착과 위치에 따른 암꽃의 평균 착과마디는 각각 11.5, 15.8, 23.1마디였다. 착과 위치가 높아질수록 과중이 증가하여 2번째 암꽃에 비해 4번째 암꽃이 0.8kg 무거웠다. 그러나 당도는 착과 위치가 증가할수록 감소하여, 2번째 암꽃이 4번째 암꽃에 비해 1.3°Bx 높았다. 생육과 과실 특성을 종합적으로 고려하였을 때, 겨울철 중∙소과종 수박의 줄기유인 수는 3줄기, 착과 위치는 3번째 암꽃이 고품질의 수박의 생산을 위해 적합할 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 추후에 재식거리, 중∙소과종 품종의 다착과 등 수박 재배 농가의 소득 안정을 위한 다양한 연구가 필요하다고 생각된다.
