This study aimed to examine the operations of school food services to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in schools nationwide. The survey data on school food service operations targeting nutrition teachers and nutritionists at 1,023 schools in 2020 and 1,177 schools in 2021 were used. The year 2021 saw an increase compared to 2020 in the following: ‘average days to be served with meals for a year (144.5 vs. 184.7)', 'provided meals to all students (92.3% vs. 96.6%)', 'utilization of additional staff for foodservice assistance (33.4% vs. 38.8%)', 'installation of partitions (61.2% vs. 83.8%)', 'provision of general diet (96.1% vs. 99.1%)', and 'use of kitchen utensils (91.3% vs. 95.1%)', 'use of cafeteria water cup (9.9% vs. 31.0%)' and 'use of drinking water in school (46.8% vs. 52.1%)'. Compared to 2020, in 2021, it was confirmed that the school food service operations stabilized due to the increase in the normal school attendance rate and that systems were in place for operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the future, it will be necessary to develop manuals and special recipes necessary for responding to infectious diseases, and to operate a manpower pool that can quickly find replacement personnel if required.

국내 들깨 재배지의 식물기생선충 감염현황을 조사하기 위해 2020년 1월 21일부터 10월 27일까지 8개 시군의 노지, 시설 들깨 재배지에서 채취한 토양 시료 51점을 분석하였다. 들깨 재배지에는 뿌리썩이선충류, 나선선충류, 뿌리혹선충, 위축 선충이 감염되어 있었으며, 뿌리썩이선충 (39%)과 나선선충 (55%)이 다른 선충에 비해 높은 감염률을 보였다. 들깨는 연작연수가 증가할수록 뿌리썩이 선충의 발생 빈도는 증가하는 추세를 보였으며, 11년 이상 연작하면 5년 미만일 때보다 발생 빈도가 2배 이상 증가하였다. 잎들깨와 종실용 들깨 재배지에 감염된 선충 종류와 밀도는 차이를 보였다. 들깨 검출 선충 가운데 경제적으로 중요한 뿌리썩이선충의 분자생물학적 종 동정 결과, 2속 3종 (Pratylenchus penetrans, P. vulnus, Pratylenchoides leiocauda)의 뿌리썩이선충이 감염되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과에 따라, 들깨 밭의 선충 관리 전략 수립 을 위해서는 뿌리썩이선충이 문제 선충이라는 점이 고려 되어야 할 것이다.

To survey the incidence of plant-parasitic nematodes, 187 soil samples from leguminous plant fields in Chungnam province, Korea were assessed from June to August 2018. As the result, four nematode genera ─ the cyst nematode (Heterodera spp.), root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.), root-lesion nematode (Pratylenchus spp.), spiral nematode (Helicotylenchus spp.) ─ were detected. Among them, the incidence of cyst nematode was the highest in Taean (73%) and lowest in Hongseong (10%). The cyst nematode was detected from the adzuki and kidney bean fields as well as soybean fields. The incidence of cyst nematode in upland fields was higher than in paddy fields. In addition, the extracted cyst nematodes consisted of two species, which was identified as Heterodera glycines and H. sojae. The incidence of H. glycines (22%) was higher than H. sojae (10%), and a few of the fields (5%) was mixed with two cyst nematodes. This result suggested that we should consider that the cyst nematode is the major plantparasitic nematode when controlling the nematodes in soybean fields in Chungnam province.
