오이 덩굴쪼김병의 발병을 억제(抑制)하는 토양의 특성(特性)과 병원균(病原菌)에 대한 억제요인을 밝혀 내고자 진주, 함안, 남지, 밀양, 순천 등지의 28개 비닐하우스에서 토양을 채취하여 공시(供試)하였다. 접종한 병원균의 농도(濃度)에 대한 공시토양의 오이 덩굴쪼김병 발병곡선(發病曲線)을 Log-Probit로 전환하여 토양의 발병억제 정도를 DI50(50%의 공시식물을 발병시킬 수 있는 병원균의 농도)으로 수량화(數量化)하여 공시토양의 발병억제 정도를 비교하였던 바, 같은 지역내에서도 채취장소에 따라서 억제정도(抑制程度)가 크게 달랐으며 진주 5, 순천 7, 남지 22 등이 발병억제능력이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 토양의 화학적(化學的) 성분(性分)이나 물리성(物理性) 등은 발병억제 능력과 일정한 상관(相關)을 나타내지 않았다. 발병억제 토양에서는 병원균(病原菌)의 소형분생포자(小型分生胞子)와 후막포자(厚膜胞子)의 발아율(發芽率)이 현저하게 억제되었다. 병원균의 균사분해(菌絲分解)는 발병억제형(發病抑制型) 또는 발병유도형(發病誘導型) 토양에 따라서 일정한 경향(傾向)을 나타내지 않았으나 균사편(菌絲片)으로부터 형성(形成)된 후막포자(厚膜胞子)의 수(數)는 발병억제형 토양에서 현저히 적었다. 토양 중의 형광성 Pseudomonads 와 Bacillus spp의 밀도는 발병억제형 토양과 유도형 토양간에 통계적유의차(統計的有意差)가 없었으나 병원균에 길항적(拮抗的)인 용균반(溶菌斑) 수(數)는 발병억제형 토양에서 현저하게 많았다.

The physicochemical properties of soil and the yield and quality of rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Sailmi) were assessed using Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam. cv. Kowinearly)-rice double cropping systems in the paddy fields at Goseong and Miryang in southern Korea. The average temperatures during the ripening period were approximately 1 °C higher than the optimal temperature for rice ripening and the sunshine duration was reduced by frequent rainfall. Consequently, it was slightly below the optimal conditions required for rice ripening. In the soil at Goseong, winter Italian ryegrass cropping increased the pH, electrical conductivity, and the contents of organic matter, total nitrogen (T-N), available P2O5, K, Ca, and Mg than winter fallowing. Particularly, the contents of T-N and available P2O5increased significantly. In the soil at Miryang, Italian ryegrass slightly increased the electrical conductivity and the T-N, Mg, and Na contents. Therefore, winter Italian ryegrass cropping improved the physicochemical properties of paddy soils; however, Italian ryegrass-rice double cropping slightly reduced the culm length at both Goseong and Miryang, without markedly changing the panicle length or number compared to fallow-rice cropping. Furthermore, at Goseong, Italian ryegrass-rice double cropping slightly decreased the spikelet number and milled rice yield, and increased the ripened grain rate; however, at Miryang, contrasting results were observed. In addition, fallow-rice cropping revealed no differences in the head rice or opaque rice rates. The protein content was slightly increased in Italian ryegrass-rice double cropping, without significant changes in the amylose content or Toyo value, compared to that in fallow-rice cropping. The peak and breakdown viscosities were slightly decreased. These results indicate that winter Italian ryegrass cropping might alter rice taste but may not exhibit remarkable negative effects on rice cultivation. Therefore, Italian ryegrass-rice double cropping system is recommended for paddy fields in southern Korea. Nevertheless, to increase the rice yield and quality, fertilization standards for rice cropping that consider the changes in the T-N and organic matter contents in paddy fields caused by winter Italian ryegrass cropping need to be established.

The aim of this study was to investigate the comparative growth characteristics and ginenoside contents of wild-simulated ginseng on different years (7 and 13-year-old) by monitoring soil properties of cultivation regions. Plant and soil samples were collected from 6 different cultivation regions. Soil organic matter (OM), total nitrogen (TN) and cation exchangeable capacity (CEC) were significantly higher in 13-year-old wild-simulated ginseng cultivation regions compared to 7-year-old wild-simulated ginseng cultivation regions. Growth characteristics of wild-simulated ginseng had shown significantly higher in 13-year-old wild-simulated ginseng compared to 7-year-old wild-simulated ginseng. Ginsenoside G-Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Re, Rf, Rg1 were significantly higher in 13-year-old wild-simulated ginseng than 7-year-old wild-simulated ginseng. According to the results of correlation analysis, soil OM, TN and CEC of the cultivated regions were positively correlated with the growth of wild-simulated ginseng. In addition, the root length of wild-simulated ginseng showed positive correlation with ginsenoside content. Hence, this study was able to investigate the correlation between growth and ginsenoside content of wild-simulated ginseng based on soil characteristics of the cultivation regions.

This study performed to conduct a test to increase the amount of appropriate organic matter input to organic upland soil, soil fertility, and its effect on the chemical changes and yield of corn in soil due to organic use. The pH level of the T1, T5, and T6 treatment zones where livestock excreta was used was raised to 6.0-6.5, the optimal range of the soil in Korea, and it was confirmed that the pH value was appropriate. Electrical Conductivity (EC), organic content (OM), and total nitrogen (T-N) were also identified as a trend of continuous increase. The quantity of corn gradually increased from 74.1% to 96.4% over the four-year period with the use of organic materials compared to the beginning of the test, and the utilization efficiency of nitrogen has also increased. The results of the study were found to have been able to examine the increase in quantity and changes in soil chemistry through crop cultivation using organic materials such as natural materials, green manure crops , and livestock manure compost, and it is also believed that the changes due to various factors such as soil environment, soil microbes, and climate conditions need to be made through continuous research.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the soil environment of urban neighborhood parks and to use them as basic data for evaluating the ecological functions of urban parks such as groundwater regeneration, flood control, microclimate regulation, adsorption and purification. The landscape design criteria were generally evaluated as advanced, and further monitoring and studies are needed to evaluate the various ecological functions. It is also necessary to improve the phosphoric acid and nitrogen contents, which tended to be low. In addition, continuous monitoring is needed to assess the proper soil environment according to the biological species, and to evaluate the ecological functions. The results of this study can be used to evaluate the groundwater recharge of urban parks. In particular, when the land of the neighboring park is used for various purposes, the level of access of the user may be increased. Therefore, factors that may adversely affect the user's health, such as heavy metals and organic matters, should be selected and selected as management criteria. In addition, follow-up studies considering fertilization standards suitable for trees and growth of introduced vegetation, etc. are needed urgently to improve the soil environment.

This study was carried out to determine the effect of Kluyvera sp. CL-2 (KACC 91283P) on the growth of watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris L.). The study consisted of three treatments, no treatment (NT), twice application of Kluyvera sp. CL-2 before transplanting (KC1), and five times application around transplanting (KC2). We determined the chemical properties of soil before and after the treatments, and compared the growth characteristics of watermelon among treatments. The treatment of Kluyvera sp. CL-2 at 1.0×106 cfu mL-1 significantly increased available P2O5. The organic matter showed to increase for all treatments, while soil pH, exchangeable Ca and Mg tended to decrease for all treatments. The leaf width was increased by 11.6% for KC1 and 26.2% for KC2 compared to NT. But there were no significant differences in yield, leaf length, fruit weight, fruit length, fruit width, and pericarp thickness among treatments. The contents of free sugars such as fructose and glucose were increased by microbial treatments but sucrose was not different from NT. The content of glucose in watermelon was increased by 13.8% in KC1 and 12.8% in KC2 compared to NT. The content of fructose increased by 14.6% in KC1 and by 39.8% in KC2 compared to NT. The results from the study imply that Kluyvera sp. CL-2 can be used to increase sugar content in watermelon.

Background : Wild-simulated ginseng (WSG, panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) is known to be grown in high altitudes with a climate of cool, well ventilated and fertile humid forests. In this study, the effects of altitude and soil characteristics on the growth of WSG were investigated. Methods and Results : The seeds were planted on designated line, and the altitude was set at 600 highland and 300 highland. At each highland soil characteristics and forest condition were investigated also Hobo (HOBO U30 Werther station) was set up to measure the microclimate in the site. Experiments were conducted in each highland to determine the difference in the growth of WSG according to the soil condition. Growth characteristics of undergrowth, such as root thickness and length also upper growth such as stem length and thickness were measured. As a result of the soil characteristics survey, the value of available phosphorus was found to be 256.7 ㎎/㎏ at 300 highlands. On the other hand, in 600 highland, available phosphorus was 29.59 ㎎/㎏, which showed big difference. Conclusion : Overall, the cation exchange capacity was higher than the 600 highland at 300 highland. The weight, stem length, root length and leaflet size of the wild-simulated ginseng were higher than those of 600 highland at 300 highland.

Background : Foliar fertilizer materials are used in the field of ginseng farming to enhance the growth of ginseng. The law for ginseng industry prohibits the use of chemical fertilizer as a material for growing ginseng, but in recent years, various organic materials derived from natural materials have been produced and used in farming sites. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of foliar fertilizer on the growth and soil properties of ginseng during continuous use. Methods and Results : For the test materials, native seedlings were used and the amino acid solution, liquid silicate, microbial liquid and fermentation enzyme were treated from 2 to 5– year-old ginseng after transplantation. The test plots were carried out to 3 repetitions by randomized block design. The area of one plot was 3.24 ㎡. The treatments were foliar application three times at intervals of 10 days from the late of May when leaf development was completed. The chemical properties of each foliar fertilizer pH was the highest at 9.63 for liquid silicate and lowest at 5.85 for amino acids. Ammonium nitrate had the highest amino acid content (56 ㎎/ℓ). Phosphorus was the highest with 113.7 ㎎/ℓ of fermentation enzyme. As a result of foliar fertilization for 4-years up to 5-years of ginseng, the pH was similar in soil chemical properties. EC and nitrate nitrogen contents tended to be higher in foliar application than in non-treatment. In the photosynthesis of ginseng, fermentation enzyme and microbial treatment tended to be high. Thickness of ginseng leaf was the thickest in microbial treatment. Microbial treatment was the highest in the underground part. Soil chemical properties were also affected but there was no significant change to inhibit the growth of ginseng. Conclusion : The treatments of the foliar fertilizer were more effective than the no treatment on the growth of ginseng. Among the foliar fertilizers distributed on the market, those derived from natural products can be used in ginseng cultivation.

This study was conducted to improve the economy, quality, and load of Soil paving concrete by using waste materials such as Oystery and Dolomitic to solve strength reduction and durability reduction caused by hardening agents in Korea. According to the results of the study, for the curing expenses, the Fine part agreement (FC) and the Furnace slag power lower (BS) are 5:5, It was possible to verify that the best results were obtained in terms of the quality of cement mortar when the natural organic lime and dolomitic lime were mixed at a ratio of 5:5.

Background: Saline soil has negative effects on the growth of most crops. Sodium is the main element that causes salt accumulation in soil. Organic materials such as cow and poultry manure, are frequently used during the preparation stage, which causes an increase in the rate of salt accumulation in the soil. Methods and Results: To investigate the influences of sodium on ginseng, NaH2PO4, Na2SO4, and NaCl were used to adjust the sodium concentrations at 0, 12.5, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mM in nutrient solution. In a 2-year-old ginseng, toxic symptoms appeared when the sodium treatment exceeded 50 mM. The sodium concentration in the leaves was 3.33%, which is more than twice as high as that of the control treated at 50 mM. As the sodium concentration increased, the root weight significantly decreased. In the 100 mM treatment, the weight decreased by 28% when compared to that of the control. The Amount of ginsenoside significantly increased with an increase in sodium concentrations. Conclusions: These results suggest that the growth of 2-year-old ginseng is negatively affected when sodium exceeds 50 mM. This result can be used for a as basis in diagnosing the physiological disorders of ginseng.

Background : The first planted field is decreasing due to replant failure and climate change. As a result, there is an increasing number of cases where new soil is covered in agricultural land or clearing forest to cultivate ginsengs. In this case, it is essential to improve the chemical properties of the soil before ginseng site management. This study was carried out to investigate growth, quality of ginseng and soil chemical properties to set the concentrations of nitrogen. Methods and Results : 0, 1, 4, 8, 16, 32 ㎏/10 a of urea were each treated at 3.3 ㎡ of the field and ginseng cultivar 'Gumpoong' was transplanted. Growth characteristics were investigated by growth period and soil chemical properties were investigated every 3 months. In 2-years-old ginseng, the root weight was the highest at 4 ㎏ treatment group of nitrogen while it showed the rate of increase in root weight is increased at 1 ㎏ treatment of nitrogen in 3-years-old ginseng. Physiological disorder and root rot symptom are increased at 8 ㎏ treatment group of nitrogen in 2- and 3-years-old ginseng. In case of soil properties, EC and Nitrate-N concentration exceeded 0.5 dS/m and 50 ㎎/㎏ respectively from 16 ㎏ treatment group of nitrogen after 14 months. The saponin content tended to decrease with increasing nitrogen treatment concentration at the 2-years-old ginseng. In the case of 3-years-old, the highest value was 0.88% at 1 ㎏ nitrogen treatment group. Conclusion : These results indicate that the application levels of nitrogen influence growth, quality of ginseng and soil chemical properties. These data can be used to set the concentrations of nitrogen when new soil is covered in agricultural land or clearing forest to cultivate ginseng.

The vegetation-based spraying method has been used as a revegetation measure for protecting slopes. However, after the method is applied to the fields, the collapse due to deteriorated bond performance of artificial slopes and defective vegetation growth bases prevent it from displaying its proper function. Therefore, research and application technologies for revegetation measures that can achieve both the reinforcement of slopes and the ecological restoration at the same time are necessary. Accordingly, in this study, fundamental research was conducted regarding the bond properties of slopes, according to the addition of additives based on bonding materials for improving bond performance.

Background: The application of crop rotation systems may reduce the occurrence of soil-borne diseases by releasing allelochemicals and by subsequent microbial decomposition. Methods and Results: For reduction of ginseng root rot by the crop rotation system, after harvesting 6-year-old ginseng, fresh ginseng was grown along with continuous cultivation of sweet potato, peanut, and bellflower. Growth of 2-year-old ginseng was significantly inhibited in the continuous cultivation than in the first cultivation. Sweet potato, peanut and bellflower cultivations assisted in obtaining normal yields of ginseng in the first year after the harvest of 6-year-old ginseng. Salt concentration, potassium and sodium contents were gradually decreased, and, organic matter was gradually increased through cirp rotation. Phosphate, calcium and magnesium contents were not altered. The density of the root rot fungus was gradually decreased by the increase in crop rotation; however it was decreased distinctly in the first year compared to the second and third year. The severity of root rot disease tended to decrease gradually by the increase of crop rotation. Conclusions: Short-term crop rotation for three years promoted the growth of ginseng, however root rot infection was not inhibited significantly, although it was somewhat effective in lowering the density of the root rot pathogen.
