To improve the quality of jujube (Zizyphus jujuba Miller var. hoonensis), which is a fruit of health functional, the effect of polyphenol preparation treatment on the fruit characteristics of two cultivars (cv. Bokjo and cv. Sangwang) of jujube was investigated. There was no difference in the height and breast diameter of jujubes tested between the polyphenol treatments and non treatment. Jujube trees treated with polyphenol preparation produced significantly more fruit than untreated in both cultivars. In cvultivar of Bokjo, the polyphenol preparation treatment increased the fruit's fresh weight and dry weight more than two times, respectively, compared to the untreated treatment. Polyphenol preparation tr eatments also changed the leaf characteristics of jujube trees. In the polyphenol-treated trees, leaf thickness tended to be thickest at the top and thinnest at the bottom. Polyphenol preparation treated jujube trees showed no difference in chlorophyll content. Moisture content was slightly higher in the untreatment than in the treatments. Visually, the polyphenol preparation treatment had a dark green color. Jujubes treated with polyphenol preparations showed differences in polyphenol content in fruits. The polyphenol content in both peel and flesh of the treatments were much higher than that of the untreatment. Reducing sugar was contained more in the peel than in the flesh and was higher in the untreatment than in the polyphenol preparation treatments. Treatment with polyphenol preparation showed differences in fruit appearance. As described above, it was found that the treatment of polyphenol preparation changed the leaves, fruit shapes and components of jujube trees. In particular, jujubes treated with polyphenol preparations are expected to contribute significantly to eco-friendly and highly functional jujube cultivation, as they appear to produce many fruits and increase the content of polyphenols and sugars.

대추 탄저병 방제에 적합한 친환경 천연물소재를 선발하기 위하여, 약용식물에서 천연물을 추출하였고, 이를 이용하여 탄저병균에 대한 항균활성과 병 발생에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 기내 항균활성 검정에서 개똥쑥 지상부 추출물과 복숭아 나무 수지 추출물 처리는 각각 15 mm와 17.7 mm의 균사생장 억제존을 나타내 강한 항균활성을 보였으며, 처리 후 96시간이 경과하여도 항균활성을 유지하였다. 추출물의 실내접종 검 정에서 개똥쑥 지상부, 맨드라미 꽃과 잎, 복숭아나무 수지, 질경이 꽃 추출물은 잎 탄저병 방제에 효과적이었다. 과실에서는 개똥쑥 지상부 추출물은 58.3%, 맨드라미 꽃 추출물은 64.2%, 맨드라미 잎 처리는 66.7%의 병발생 억제효과를 보였고, 복숭아나무 수지와 질경이 꽃 추출물 처리에서는 60.1%의 병발생 억제율을 보여, 약용식물 추출물이 대추 탄저병을 효과적으로 억제하였고, 유과기 과실이 변색기에 비하여 병 발생 억제율이 높게 나타났다. 공시 추출물의포트 검정에서, 상처접종과 무상처접종에서 탄저병 발생 억제율이 높게 나타났다. 따라서 공시 약용식물 추출물은 대추나무 탄저병 친환경 방제를 위한 약제 개발에 활용될 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.
