This study was carried out to set up ventilation coefficient for high quality fruit body. We made the ventilation apparatus for ventilation characteristics of oyster mushroom. The pattern of growth of oyster mushroom for 4 stage, 1stage of the period of primordial induction and 3 stage of the period of fruit body formation, was investigated. That was favorable configuration of the fruit body at the carbon dioxide concentration under 1,500ppm. The higher was ventilation coefficient, the more carbon dioxide injury generated, and the ventilation coefficient of the late growth was low. In the case of Chunchu 2-ho, those quality were high when ventilation coefficient as the lapse of growth stage set up 8, 6, 4, 4, and Suhan 2-ho was 6, 6, 4, 2. Base on these results, if the optimum ventilation coefficient set up, the cultivator will cultivate good production.

배의 과경부에 지베렐린을 처리하면 과실비대에 효과는 있으나 저장성이 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 본 시험은 지베렐린 처리가 저장성을 향상시키기 위하여 폴리아민의 처리부위와 처리농도에 따른 과실의 특성변화를 조사하였다. 시험품종은 '황금배', '영산배', '추황배'로 하여 제베렐린을 만개 30일 후에 처리하고 폴리아민을 수확 7일 전에 과총 엽과 수관에 100, 200, 500ppm으로 엽면살포 하였다. 지베렐린 처리에 의하여 과중은 모든 품종에서 10% 정도 커졌고 경도는 0.3~0.4kg/Φ5mm만큼 낮아졌으나 당도와 식미는 차이가 없었다. 과경부의 형태적 특성은 지베렐린 처리가 무처리에 비하여 수(髓, pith) 부분에서 내피세포까지의 거리와 내피에서 표피세포까지의 거리가평균 42.0%신장되어 양 수분의 이동이 활발해지고 그에 따른 공급량이 많아져 과실의 무게가 비대해 진 것으로 추정할 수 있었다. 저장 30일 후 과실의 특성을 보면 '황금배'는 과총엽 살포의 스퍼미딘 200ppm이, 수관살포는 스퍼미딘 500ppm에서 과육의 경도가 높게 유지되어 식미가 양호하였다. '영산배'와 '추황배'도 비슷한 경향으로 주당 살포량이 적은 과총엽 200ppm살포처리가 저장성 증진에 효과적이었다.

한국 고추 주산단지에 '금탑', '부강' 품종을 1998년과 1999년에 재배하여 4회에 걸쳐 홍고추를 수확하였다. 고추의 과장, 과중, 건물율을 조사하고 색도를 분석한 후 고추 생육기간 동안의 지역별 온도 강우량 일조시간의 기상여건과 상관을 살펴보았다. 고추는 초기수확보다 후기로 갈수록 과장이 짧아지고, 과중은 가벼워지는 경향을 보였다. 두 품종간의 특성은 뚜렷한 차이를 보였으나 연도별 차이는 크지 않았다. 건물율은 수확시기가 늦어질수록 높아졌으며, 고추의 붉은색 비교를 위한 a×L값은 조사에서는 수확시기가 늦어질수록 높아지는 경향이 나타났다. 기상여건과 고추 과실 생장과의 상관관계를 살펴보면, 과장은 수확 전의 적산온도와 양의 상관이 있었다. 과중은 강우량과 수확직전의 적산온도와 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 건물율은 수확 전 온도와 음의 상관을, 일조량과 양의 상관을 보였다. 붉은색 정도는 생육기간의 강우량과 음의, 일조와는 양의 높은 상관이 있었으며, 결정계수(r3)도 모든 외적품질 중 가장 높게 나타났다.

한국 고추 주산지에서 '금탑', '부강' 품종을 1998년과 1999년에 재배하여 4회에 걸쳐 홍고추를 수확하였다. 과실 내적품질로 환원당, capsaicinoids, 비타민C 함량을 측정하여 고추 성장기간의 온도, 강우량, 일조시간의 기상여건과 상관을 살펴보았다. 고추의 환원당 함량은 늦게 수확할수록 높아지는 경향을 보이고 있다. Capsaicinoids 함량은 수확시기별, 년도별 편차가 심하게 나타났으며. 비타민 C의 함량은 품종보다 기상여건에 더 많은 영향을 받았다. 기상여건과의 고추 성분별 상관은 환원당 함량에서는 수확 전 강우량과 음의 상관을, 일조시간과는 높은 양의 상관이 있었다. Capsaicinoids와 비타민 C 함량은 수확 전 강우와 음의 상관이 나타냈는데, 비타민 C의 경우 두 품종 모두 비교적 높은 결정계수(R2 값)를 보였다.

Highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum), ‘Duke’, ‘Bluecrop’, and ‘Elliott’, were applied with ground cover mulch systems to evaluate bush growth and fruit characteristics. Soil temperature variation was lower in the woodchip mulching plot. Therefore, CEC, soil pH, phosphate, mineral ions were not significantly different among mulching materials. The number of main stem was higher in woodchip > sawdust > rice husk > plastic film mulching plot, respectively. Total shoot number was also higher in organic mulching plots than in plastic film plot. However, total shoot number was not significantly different among the organic mulching plots. Fruit weight was the highest in the woodchip mulching plot of all blueberry cultivars, however, soluble sugar content, organic acidity, fruit firmness were not significantly different in mulching materials. Yield was higher in organic mulching plots than in plastic film plot in all blueberry cultivars. Especially, yield per shrub of woodchip plots was the highest about 3.6 kg in ‘Duke’, 2.7 kg in ‘Bluecrop’, and 2.6 kg in ‘Elliott’. Furthermore, correlation of main stem number and yield was highly significant (r2 = 0.8413). Therefore, woodchip mulching is expected to be an eco-friendly method to increase the number of stems and the yield of blueberries.

Background: Recently, jujube (Zizyphus jujuba Mill.) has been attracting attention as a fruit, and its cultivation in rain shelter house is increasing to produce the high quality fresh jujube. This study was carried out to investigate the growth and fruit characteristics of jujube according to the types of rain shelter house. Methods and Results: The characteristics of 5-year-old Bokjo cultivar cultivated in 3 types of rain shelter house, multi span rain shelter house with roof vent (Type I), single span house with a column in the center and roof vent (Type II) and single span house with a column in the center and without roof vent (Type III), and open field were examined. The sprouting and blooming period were different among the types of rain shelter house. The diameter of main stem was higher in rain shelter houses than in the open field. There was no a significant difference in fruit number per leaf stem among the types of cultivation. The incidence of fruit cracking in open field cultivation which was 51.2% was much higher than that in Type I 21.6%, Type II 19.3%, and Type III 25.5%. The fruit size and weight in rain shelter houses, especially in Type III rain shelter house were higher than those in the open field and the soluble solids content of fruit in Type I and Type II was higher than in Type III rain shelter house and the open field. Conclusions: The results show that the growth and fruit quality of jujube were improved by cultivation in rain shelter house, and affected by the types of rain shelter house.

The study was performed to investigate basic tree growth and fruit characteristics of ‘Nero’ black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) depending on the different cultivation regions and altitudes in 2014, 2015. Tree growth and change of developmental stages of ‘Nero’ were similar regardless of meteorological environment of the four cultivation regions (Danyang, Okcheon, Yeongdong, and Geumsan) in 2014. Fruit characteristics of ‘Nero’ were significant differences in berry weight and anthocyanin content among the four orchards due to difference in cultivation techniques and relatively wide daily temperature range just before harvest, respectively. Tree growth and change of developmental stages of ‘Nero’ grown at the two orchards with different altitudes appeared to be similar during the successive years 2014 and 2015. Soluble solids content of the berries cultivated at low altitude (117 m) was higher than at high altitude (342 m). Acidity showed an inverse pattern with soluble solids content. Anthocyanin content increased progressively until at the middle of August, 2014-15 and then it decreased. Our results showed that black chokeberry is a species adaptive to the domestic environment as there were no differences in tree growth and change of developmental stages of ‘Nero’. Considering fruit quality of black chokeberry such as soluble solids content, acidity, and anthocyanin content, our results suggest that optimal harvest period of black chokeberry ‘Nero’ is August 8 to 19.

Hovenia dulcis fruit powder (HFP) has shown diverse functional activities; thus, it is rational to incorporate HFP into suitable food products with enhanced nutritional and functional quality, and their incorporation into bakery products such as cookies could be a good alternative for the increase of consumption. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of HFP addition on the quality characteristics of cookies. The pH of cookie doughs ranged from 5.80-6.34, with no remarkable differences by HFP addition. Density of cookie doughs significantly decreased upon addition of HFP (p<0.05), but there were no significant differences among samples added with HFP (p>0.05). Moisture content and spread factor of cookies significantly increased with higher content of HFP in the formulation (p<0.05). For color values of cookie surface, L* and b*-values decreased while a*-value increased as a result of HFP substitution (p<0.05). 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2’-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6- sulphonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activities were significantly increased (p<0.05) with higher substitution of HFP, showing a positive correlation. Hedonic sensory results indicated that cookies supplemented with 4% HFP received the most favorable acceptance scores for sensory attributes. Overall, HFP-added cookies could be developed with improved physicochemical qualities without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

Shoot and the fruit growth characteristics of ‘Campbell Early’ grape cultivar were investigated after vine thinning using the main branch leader. Before vine thinning, branch diameter was 11.8 ㎜, but it decreased to 9.3 ㎜ after vine thinning. The number of shoots per vine increased to 55.9-64.5 after vine thinning. The number of fruit clusters per shoot was higher (1.5-1.75) in the vine thinning plot than in the control (0.8). Consequently, the number of clusters per vine was 98.1–106.5 in the vine thinning plot, while that in the control was 24.4-28.0. However, soluble sugar content (SSC) and tartaric acidity showed no significant differences between the control and the vine thinning plot. The proportion of >351 g fruit cluster weight after vine thinning (81.0%) was significantly higher than that of the control (32.5%). These results imply that fruit quality based on the variation in cluster weight and fruit yield was enhanced by vine thinning using the main branch leader.

Persimmon has long been established as one of the major fruits in Korea. The southern parts of Korea were traditionally the pocket areas for good persimmon production; however, rising temperatures have gradually rendered the southern regions unsuitable for successful harvest. Ecology of fruit growing areas affects the productivity of various types of crops, including fruit trees such as persimmon. The quality characteristics of the fruit of persimmon cv. Dongchul grown in Gangwondo, which lies in the northern part of South Korea, were investigated. Different physicochemical, nutritional, and antioxidant properties of fruit were evaluated to assess the locational effect on the quality of persimmon fruits grown in Gangwondo. The results of this study showed that persimmon cv. Dongchul grown in Gangwondo maintains many of the physicochemical (4.33% crude protein and 4.32% crude fiber), nutritional (total mineral content: 461.51 and vitamin C content: 15.28 ㎎/100 g), and antioxidant properties (polyphenol content: 633.1 ㎎ gallic acid equivalent/100 g) those are found in other three commercial cultivars ‘Daebong’, ‘Kyengsan Bansi’, and ‘Sangju Doongsi’ grown in Korea. Overall results of this study imply that ‘Dongchul’ cultivar of persimmon could commercially be grown in Kangwondo, Korea.

The utilization of renewable energy will be an inevitable situation in the future because of the acceleration of climate change and depletion of fossil fuels. Waste and biomass are major sources of renewable energy. In the near future, biomass will become the main resource of renewable energy in the world. However, in case of Korea, obtaining a stable supply of biomass is difficult. To overcome this problem, we need to import biomass from other countries. Palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) is known to be a good biomass resource, which is treated by either landfill or incineration in Indonesia and Malaysia. EFB could be used as feedstock for gasification for energy recovery as a gas fuel. Generally, biomass gasification has more stable operation than waste gasification. Nevertheless, biomass gasification generates lots of tar in syngas because of the lignin content in biomass, which may cause problems for gas engines and other processes. In this study, gasification experiments as well as qualitative analysis were conducted for determining syngas characteristics with tar content. Tar sampling and analysis were performed under various conditions by changing the flow rate, sampling time, and sampling gas flow. Measuring the tar content in syngas during the gasification process was also proposed

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of weed control on disease incidence, plant growth and fruit quality, and to provide effective method to farmers at the vineyard. At the raincoat greenhouse cultivating ‘Campbell Early’, several weed controlling methods were compared to the control. Mean temperature of plots between soil covering (C.B., W.F., S.N., P.F. and R.H.) and non soil covering (M.W.2, M.W.3 and U.T.) were similar with 26.2℃ (July) and 25.8℃ (Aug.), but humidity of soil covering was sharply decreased in late-July under 40%. Soil water were all higher in soil covering plots than that of non-soil covering, however, soil temperature was recorded lower in soil covering plots. Disease incidence of Peudocercospora vitis according to soil coverings had effect on black plastic film mulching by decreasing grapevine leaf spot to 85% in July, 69% in August, compared to the control, with showing the smallest lesion incidence in FMB. Among growth characters, internode length and internode width of black plastic film mulching was higher than that of the control. SPAD value of black plastic film mulching was recorded the highest. It was not significant among the treatments, but brix was recorded highly in black plastic film mulching with 14~15°Brix.

This study was conducted to select native ground cover plants for sod culture in an organic apple orchard by estimating the effect of three native ground cover plants, Glechoma hederacea, Thymus magnus, and Ixeris stolonifera, on the soil coverage, time-periodic weed occurrence, fruit characteristics, and soil chemical properties. The plant height of G. hederace, T. magnus and I. stolonifera were 15.0 ㎝, 13.4 ㎝ and 7.2 ㎝, respectively. The dry weight of G. hederace, T. magnus and I. stolonifera were 463 ㎏/10a, 247 ㎏/10a, and 255 ㎏/10a, respectively. The plant height and dry weight of G. hederacea were higher than in the other species. T. magnus and I. stolonifera having relatively lower soil cover rate during their life cycle produced a lot of weeds in the orchard as compared with the control. In contrast, G. hederacea showed 100 percentage of ground cover in the first year, and maintained high percentage of ground cover in the growing season of ‘Tsugaru’ apple for another 2 years. When the soil was covered with G. hederacea in the orchard for 3 years, the amount of weed was only 114 ㎏/10a and number of weeding was also reduced about 33% compared with control as well as the other species. There were no differences in the tree growth and fruit characteristics between the native ground cover plants and the control; however, positive effects of native ground cover plants on soil chemical properties were found. In G. hederacea, available P2O4content in soils remarkably increased and was a significant difference among native species. In addition, cation (Ca, Mg and K) content in soils increased by 39% in Ca, 6% in Mg, and 11% in K at G. hederacea compared with control. These results suggest that G. hederacea could be advantageous in terms of reducing the amount of herbicide applied and the labor required for weed control, and controlling soil chemical properties; therefore, it is a good candidate for sod culture in an organic apple orchard.

본 연구에서는 4배체에서 염색체가 가감된 hypo-, hypertetraploid 포도들의 수체생육과 과실의 특성을 검정함으로서, 이들의 특성을 이용한 대립계 무핵포도 품종 육성 가능성에 대해서 검토하고자 하였다. Hypo-, hyper-tetraploid 포도들은 다른 이수체식물들에서 보고되었던 엽의 기형이나 수체생육의 불균일 현상 없이 4배체 포도인 ‘거봉’과 유사한 생육상을 보여 재배적으로 활용하는데 문제가 없는 것으로 나타났다. Hypo-teraploid 포도에서 만개기에 GA3 100 ppm 1회 처리 시 완전 무핵과 과실을 형성하였고, 과립도 8.5∼10.5 g 사이로 대립성 과실을 형성하였다. 하지만, Hyper-teraploid 포도는 hypo-teraploid 포도들에 비해 큰 과립을 가진 포도를 형성하였으나 낮은 무핵율을 나타나게 되는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 hypo-tetraploid 포도들의 특성을 이용하는 것은 대립계 무핵포도를 육성하기 위한 유용한 방법이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
