This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of harvesting time of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam; IRG) in spring on dry matter (DM) yield. IRG cultivars ‘Kowinearly’ and ‘Greenfarm’ were seeded at 50 kg/ha and grown on rice paddy fields. There was no difference in growth characteristics between both varieties before winter. However, cold tolerance of Kowinearly was higher than that of Greenfarm, as demonstrated by post-wintering growth characteristics. The heading date of both varieties was affected by the spring weather. The IRG was harvested three times at 5-day intervals beginning from 9 May. The DM yield of Greenfarm was 6,306; 7,335; and 8,109 kg/ha, and that of Kowinearly was 7,498; 9,196; and 10,449 kg/ha at the three consecutive harvests. The delay of the harvesting time for 5 and 10 days increased the DM yield of Greenfarm by 16% and 29% and that of Kowinearly by 23% and 39%, respectively, compared to the yield at first harvest (p < 0.05). Therefore, IRG harvest later than early to mid-May is expected to increase productivity. The feed values of Greenfarm were: 12.2% of crude protein (CP), 34.5% of acid detergent fiber (ADF), 57.7% of neutral detergent fiber (NDF), 61.6% of total digestible nutrients (TDN), and 72.3% of in vitro DM digestibility (IVDMD). For Kowinearly, these values were 16.4% of CP, 30.4% of ADF, 52.7% of NDF, 64.9% of TDN and 79.0% of IVDMD.

본 연구는 프리지아 구근수확 시기를 달리하였을 때 2단구가 형성되지 않으면서 구근을 장기간 보관할 수 있는 온도 및 기간 등 저장방법을 찾고자 실시하였다. 프리지아 구근 수확시기는 절화 직후와 절화 후 45일 2처리로 실시하였다. 구근 저장온도는 5, 10, 15, 20, 30οC, 저장기간은 20, 40, 60, 80, 100일 등 각각 5 처리를 두었다. 2단구는 구근의 생장점 부위에 싹이 맹아하지 않고 작은 자구가 발생하는 형태적인 변화를 말하는 것으로 저장 중 온도가 맞지 않을 경우 나타 난다. 시험결과를 보면 절화 후 바로 구근을 수확 할 경우 이본느 품종은 30οC로 80일 이상, 샤이니골드는 20οC에서 100일 이상, 30οC는 60일 이상 정식 전에 저장하면 정식 이후 2단구가 회피되었다. 절화 45일 후에 구근을 수확 할 경우에는 이본느와 샤이니골드 두 품종 모두 정식 전에 20οC에서 100일 이상, 30οC 는 40일 이상 보관하면 정식 이후 2단구 발생이 억제 되었다. 절화 직후 구근을 수확한 처리에서 구근을 30οC로 100일 저장 후 정식한 결과 샤이니골드와 이 본느 품종의 맹아소요일수는 각각 34일과 31일로 나 타나 한달 이상소요 되었지만, 절화 45일 후에 수확한 구근은 같은 처리에서 두 품종 모두 맹아소요일수가 7 일로 나타나 절화 45일 후에 수확한 구근의 휴면이 빨리 타파되는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of the first harvesting times and regrowth periods after the fist harvest on grass regrowth, dry matter (DM) yield and botanical composition in pasture mixtures during 1987 and 1988. For the test,

Background : This study examined the effect of harvesting time on the growth, yield characteristics, and major beneficial components in Salvia miltiorrhiza. Methods and Results : Although plant height, stem diameter and branch length were not affected by harvesting time, the number of stems was highest when harvested in mid October. There were no differences in root length and thickness, however, the rhizome was thicker when it was harvested at the end of October or early November than when it was harvested in early and mid October. The dried root weight also showed a similar pattern. However, there was a statistically significant increase to 408 ㎏ (16%) in the rhizome weight when in late October and a rise to 455 ㎏ (29%) when harvested in early November. Harvest time had little effect on the content of the major component of S. miltiorrhiza. For example, salvianolic acid content rose from 9.42 to 9.64% with later harvest times, and tanshinone ΠA content was tended to be slightly more increased in mid October which S. miltiorrhiza has 0.22% tanshinon ΠA than in early October. Conclusions : According to these results, the optimum harvest time for S. miltiorrhiza is early November when plant or major component yields are hightest. There were no significant harvest time effects on the major beneficial components.

There has been little research on the harvesting time-dependent changes in the antioxidant activities of new varieties of highland cultures of Gomchwi (Ligularia fischeri) crossed with Turcs (Ligularia fischeri (Ledeb.)) and Nakai (Ligularia fischeri var. spiciformis), namely Sammany (S), Gommany (G) and Damogy (D). This study was conducted to assess the effect of different harvesting times on nutritional and health-related properties such as total phenolic contents, flavonoids, DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrasyl) free radical scavenging activities and reducing power. From these harvests, extracts were prepared using methanol. Total phenolic content in Jul 14-G (Gommany harvested on July 14, 0.172 ㎎·GAE/㎖) was higher than that in other products harvested after the same period (S, 0.154; D, 0.141 ㎎·GAE/㎖). Flavonoid content was higher in Jul 3-G (0.114 ㎎·QE/㎖), compared to Jul 3-S (0.113 ㎎·QE/㎖) and Jul 14-D (0.089 ㎎·QE/㎖). Antioxidant activities were higher in samples harvested after June 12 in all cases. On July 14, the highest DPPH free radical scavenging activities among all harvest dates were seen (92.875~94.595%). The reducing power was also dependent on harvest day (Abs 0.5~0.6 on July 14), showing a pattern similar to that of DPPH free radical-scavenging activities. Antioxidant activity and harvesting times seem to correlate with total polyphenol and flavonoid contents.

Anthocyanin pigments from three pigmented rice varieties, Hongjinju, Sintoheugmi and Josaengheugchal pigmented by black color, were quantified to evaluate effects of transplanting and harvesting time during seed development. Hongjinju, a rice variety of grains pigmented by red color, contains only two kinds of anthocyanins, delphinidin and cyanidin. Meanwhile, delphinidin, cyanidin, and pelargonidin were identified in Sintoheugmi and Josaengheugchal. Anthocyanidin contents in pigmented rice variety Hongjinju under different planting times were decreased with prolonged harvesting times. The Sintoheukmi showed that cyanidin content was the highest among analyzed pigments during seed development. Two anthocyanins (cyanidin and pelargonidin) in Josaengheugchal recorded highest contents at 20 days after heading in three transplanting times. Cyanidin content was also slightly increased with prolonged transplanting time. Total anthocyanidin contents in Hongjinju were always lower than that of Sintoheukmi and Josaengheukchal. In two rice varieties, Sintoheugmi and Josaengheugchal, a* values were commonly slightly decreased by late transplanting and harvesting times. Changes of a* and b* values in waxy rice varieties, Sintoheugmi and Josaengheugchal varied more than those in Hongjinju. In Josaengheugchal, early harvesting before maturity showed lower brown rice yield and late harvesting in the each transplanting times resulted in highest brown rice yield.

We investigated antioxidant activity and lignan contents by harvesting times to expand use of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baillon. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of seed was higher than those of flesh but there is not much difference in harvesting times. As RC50 value, that was, the concentration of sample required for 50% reduction of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical, was 13.7~24.2 μg/ml in seed thus it showed a high antioxidant activity. Among lignan components, schizandrin content was the highest and followed by gomisin N and gomisin A in all of flesh and seed. Also these components in seed were 4~9 times more contained than those of flesh. All of them were decreased by harvesting times in flesh. But the contents of schizandrin and gomisin N were high in August 3rd and September 15th in seed, respectively. As the results, the seed of S. chinensis had high antioxidant activity and lignan contents so it could be potentially developed as a resource.

This study was undertaken to determine how different harvesting times affected the nutritional compositions in two forage rice varieties(Nokyangbyeo, Dasanbyeo). The contents of crude protein in leaf and stem decreased, with time, after heading in Nokyangbyeo, Dasanbyeo, but there was not so changed in that of spikes. Contents of Neutral Detergent Fiber(NDF) and Acid Detergent Fiber(ADF) in leaf and stem increased slightly but decreased rapidly in these of spikes. Contents of Total Digestive Nutrient(TDN) in spikes was the highest compared to that of the other parts of plants. Contents of Total Digestive Nutrient(TDN) in plants was the highest at 40 days after heading in Nokyangbyeo and was the highest at 50 days after heading in Dasanbyeo.

This study was undertaken to determine how different seeding methods and harvesting times affected the biomass partitioning of forage rice. Two rice varieties(Nokyangbyeo, Dasanbyeo) were planted by 4 different seeding method(rice transplanting, direct seeding on dry paddy, water hill seeding, water seeding). The heading date was delayed more than 10 days in water seeding and water hill seeding compared to that of rice transplanting method. The biomass production by harvesting times was the highest at 50 days after heading in two rice varieties and was high in order of direct seeding on dry paddy〉water hill seeding〉rice transplanting〉water seeding in seeding methods. The ratios of spikes dry weight to total dry weight increased, with time, after heading. But the ratio of leaf and stem dry weight to total dry weight decreased, with time, after heading.

사철쑥 (Artemisia capillaris Thunb.)의 수확시기 및 부위별 생육특성, scoparone과 capillarisin함량을 조사하여 약리 성분 함량이 높은 수확시기와 부위를 알아본 결과는 다음과 같다. 사철쑥은 7월 30일경 꽃봉오리가 형성되었으며 8월 30일 만개하여 9월에 종자가 성숙되었다. 생육은 8월 30일에 가장 양호하여 생체중과 건물중이 높았다. 특히 이 시기에 엽은 관찰되지 않았고 생체중은 243.7g으로 높았는데 종실의 무게는 109.6g, 줄기의 무게는 134.Is이었다. Scoparone 함량은 종실에 많이 함유되어 있었는데 8월 30일 종실에서 6.50mg/g DW로 가장 높았다. 또한 capillarisin은 줄기에는 존재하지 않았으며 엽과 종실에서 나타났는데 7월 30일 종실에 1.65mg/g DW로 가장 많이 함유되어 있었다.

중국에서 재배되는 목단의 품종 중 화형의 연화정도가 다른 대표적인 6개 품종의 뿌리에 대해 채취시기에 따른 paeonol과 paeoniflorin의 함량을 조사하였다. 6개 품종의 뿌리에서 paeonol의 양은 계절에 관계없이 거의 일정하여 변화가 없었다. 반면 paeoniflorin은 개화기인 5월에 가장 높은 값을 보이다가 6월에 감소, 7월에는 증가, 8월에 다시 감소하다가 9월에는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 비교한 6개의 품종중 화형의 형태가 단순한 종류가 복잡한 종류에 비해 약리성분을 많이 함유하고 있었다. 단판형화관인 Dan Feng과 만첩형 화관의 Wu Long Feng Sheng의 채취시기에 따른 부위별 약리성분의 분포정도를 비교하였다. Paeonol은 두 품종 모두 뿌리를 제외한 잎과 줄기에 미량으로 존재하며 채취시기가 달라져도 변화가 없었다. Paeoniflorin은 뿌리와 잎 두 부분에 다량으로 존재하여 뿌리에서의 분포양이 계절적으로 증감을 반복하는 반면, 잎은 성장이 가장 왕성한 5월에 가장 높게 분포하고 시기가 지날수록 감소하였다.

작약 식재후(植載後) 1년생은 일반관리법으로 재배하고 2년생부터 4년생 까지 3년간은 지상부 병해(病害)에 약제(藥劑)를 전혀 살포하지 않고 조기고사된 작약과 1년에 4회씩 3년간 적용약제를 살포하여 정상생육한 작약을 7월 25일부터 10월 25일까지 한 달 간격으로 4회 수확하여 조사한 결과 약제무방제에 따른 조기고사의 경우 건근수량(乾根收量)이 7월 하순경에 일찍 수확한 것은 1,126kg/10a 로 10월 하순 수확 1,177kg/10a에 비해 차이가 없으면서 paeoniflorin 함량이 가장 높았고, 약제방제에 따른 정상생육의 경우 수확 시기를 조정하여 10월 하순에 늦게 수확하는 것이 paeoniflorin 함량은 7, 8월 수확보다 낮았지만 건근수량(乾根收量)은 1,650kg/10a로 7월 수확 1,242kg/10a 에 비해 33% 증수(增收)되었다. 따라서 고품질 다수확을 위해서 는 작약 지상부병해에 약제를 살포하지 않고 일찍 고사시킬 것이 아니라 약제방제를 철저히 하여 지상부 생육을 10월 하순까지 유지하는 것이 필수적이었다.
