This study was conducted to prepare a plan for the controlling indoor microclimate environment using natural ventilation for the single-span plastic greenhouses, which account for about 83.8% of the total area of horticultural greenhouses in South Korea. The changes of indoor air temperature and relative humidity according to the side opening height were experimentally compared and analyzed in the experimental greenhouse. As the side opening height was changed to 30, 70, and 110cm, the indoor and outdoor temperature differences were found to be 14.0, 10.1, and 7.7℃, respectively. The indoor and outdoor relative humidity differences were found to be -15.7, -12.5, and -11.1%, respectively. These results were verified for statistical significance by ANOVA. When the variable breadth of the outdoor temperature was 6.9℃, the indoor temperature breadths were 14.5, 12.3, and 9.0℃, and when the outdoor relative humidity breadth was 24%, the indoor relative humidity breadths were 31.2, 28.0, and 23.8%, respectively. It was analyzed that as the side opening height is increased, the indoor temperature and relative humidity become similar to the outdoor environment. This is because the air is mixed by active indoor-outdoor air movement of greenhouses with natural ventilation. The results indicated that the proper opening and closing of side openings is necessary for the stable indoor microclimate environment control of plastic greenhouses.

Root-knot nematode (RKN), Meloidogyne incognita, inflicts significant greenhouse crop damage, causing over 40% economic losses. While chemical agents effectively control RKN, they leave harmful residue in soil and crops. To address this issue, we investigated soil-derived entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) in this study. We assessed the nematicidal impact of ten EPF species through in vivo and in vitro tests. Beauveria bassiana JEF-503 exhibited nematicidal effectiveness exceeding 65% in both experimental settings. In a semi-field test using greenhouse pots, we experimented with the application of B. bassiana JEF-503 suspension during tomato growth, which is an uncommon practice in comparison to chemical treatments due to residue concerns. B. bassiana JEF-503 was applied during transplantation, and the same application was repeated four weeks later. JEF-503 One-time and abamectin treatments were used as control groups. The JEF-503 two-time application notably reduced root damage compared to single JEF-503 or abamectin treatment. In conclusion, JEF-503 offers a promising, residue-free, and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical agents for RKN management.

본 연구는 여름철 산란계의 더위 스트레스로 인한 생산성 저하에 영향을 미치는 열환경인자들 중 제어 요소를 결정하고 산란계의 생산성을 높일 수 있는 방안을 모색하기 위해 수행되었다. 경상남도에 위치한 산란계사에서 ISA Brown 품종의 산란계 48,451수를 공시하여 생산성 지표를 측정하였다. 또한 산란계사 내부에 온습도로거를 설치하여 건구온도와 상대습도를 여름이 시작되는 6월 19일부터 9월 7일까지 총 81일간 동안 측정하였다. 1일 평균온도, 1일 최고온도, 1일 최저온도, 1일 평균상대습도, 1일 최고상대습도, 1일 최저상대습도, 1일 평균THI, 1일 최고THI 그리고 1일 최저THI와 산란계의 생산성 지표 간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 분석한 결과에 의하면, 1일 평균, 최고, 최저의 건구온도와 THI가 상승할수록 사료섭취량, 헨데이 산란율, 난중과 FCR은 낮아졌다(p<0.01). 반면, 음수량은 1일 평균, 최고, 최저의 건구온도와 THI가 상승할수록 증가하였다(p<0.001). 상대습도의 경우, 산란계의 생산성 지표에 대해 직접적인 상관관계를 가지지 않는 것으로 판단된다(p>0.05). 특이점으로는 폐사율의 경우, 1일 평균·최고 온도, THI와 1일 평균·최고·최저 상대습도와는 유의적인 상관관계를 가지지 않았지만, 1일 최저의 온도와 THI와는 상관관계를 갖는 것으로 분석되었다(p<0.05). 따라서, 여름철 산란계의 생산성을 향상시키기 위해서는 산란계사 내의 1일 평균, 최고, 최저의 건구온도와 THI를 가능한 낮추는 것이 필요하고, 특히 1일 최저온도를 산란계의 하한임계온도인 20℃에 근접하게 조성해주는 것이 유리 할 것으로 판단된다.

Environmental treatment residues become valuable waste byproducts like biomass when an environmental infrastructure necessary for recycling is effectively developed. In this study, an environmentally friendly sewage sludge sorbent was developed in a sewage treatment plant by carefully processing the sewage sludge generated from sewage treatment plants. In order to increase the adsorption efficiency, coffee ground waste was added to the adsorbent as an additive and the adsorbate used in the adsorption experiments was acetaldehyde as organic waste. It could be found from the experiment that the adsorbent of the sewage sludge was adsorbed more easily at the carbonization temperature of 600℃. In addition, adsorption experiments showed that the breakthrough time reached to 85, 110, and 130 minutes at 3:1, 2:2, and 1:3, respectively, depending on the content ratio of the sewage sludge and coffee waste. Therefore, the amount of acetaldehyde adsorption increased with the increase in the amount of coffee grounds in the mixture. It could be also be found that the addition of the coffee grounds as an additive to increase the adsorption capacity of the sewage sludge adsorbent is advantageous for adsorption.

Exposure to the indoor air pollutants could be associated with the risk of developing atopic dermatitis, including allergic symptoms and exacerbations. A total of Fifty homes who had a past or current symptoms of atopic dermatitis were enrolled in the study. To rate the levels of environmental factor, we measured concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, Heavy metals XRF (X-Ray Fluorescene), Bacteria (CFU/m3), mold (CFU/m3) in dust of the children’s houses. The prevalence of atopic dermatitis in children is increasing especially in Urban areas. Exposure to levels of indoor environmental factor and air pollutants has been related to atopic dermatitis development. The house dust were higher for the results of atopy, asthma patients analyzed fungi and bacteria, resulting XRF measurements Cr (chromium), As (arsenic), Br (bromine), Cd (cadmium), Hg (mercury), Pb (lead) etc. this has a significant relationship. Recent studies have shown that indoor air pollutants control is beneficial in reducing atopic dermatitis prevalence and development. Urban areas children are exposed to kinds of indoor environmental factor and air pollutants that may lead to atopic dermatitis development.

본 연구는 경남지역 야계사방사업지의 적지적소를 판정하기 위해 사방댐 총 526개소와 계류보전시설 총 230개소의 기시공지 및 시공예정지를 대상으로 입지 및 임상, 수문조건을 분석하였다. 사방댐 시공 지과 계류보전시설은 입지환경인자 중 퇴적암, 표고 201∼400m, 경사 21∼30°, 산사태위험등급 2등급 인 곳에 가장 많이 시공되었고, 임상환경인자인 임상, 경급, 영급, 밀도 중 소경급, Ⅲ영급 임분에서만 시공빈도가 유사하였다. 또한 사방댐의 크기 및 개소수를 결정하는 수문환경인자 중 유역면적의 경우 50ha 이하, 수계밀도 2.1∼4.0km/km2, 종장형 수계, 1시간당 최대강수량 61∼90mm, 1일 최대강수량 201∼300mm인 곳에서 가장 많이 시공되었다. 따라서 사방댐 시공지와 계류보전시설지 간의 입지 및 수문조건이 다소 유사한 것으로 추후 야계사방사업을 실시할 경우 산각붕괴 및 침식 발생위험이 높은 지역에 한해서는 사방댐과 계류보전시설의 병행이 가능한 것으로 판단된다.

 ,  , An outbreak of Ricania sp. occurred in the Kurye, Jeonnam area in 2011. This outbreak damaged many kinds of fruit trees such as Cornus, Persimmon and Chestnut. This experiment was conducted to survey the occurrence ecology of Ricania sp. such as host plants, oviposition characters, morphological characters and life cycle, as well as to select environmental friendly control agents. Ricaina sp. host plants included 51 species such as 32 xylophytes, and 19 herbaceous plants. Ricaina sp. preferred Cornus officinalis, Diospyros kaki, Castanea crenata, Eucommia ulmoides, Styrax japonicus for oviposition. Adults laid eggs on new inner twigs with 28.8 eggs per egg-ass. Egg size was 1.24 mm(length), 0.55 mm(width) in an oval shape. Nymphs molted four times. Every nymph stage had an × shape of yellow or white beeswax around the anus. Overwintered eggs of Ricania sp. hatched from the mid May to early June. Nymphal periods were from mid May to mid August and adults appeared from mid July but spawning began in mid August. Ricania sp. damaged new twigs by oviposition and retarded growth by sucking nutrients and producing a sooty mold. Sophora and natural plant extracts were effective environmentally friendly agricultural materials used to control the nymph and adult Ricania sp. Mortality was 〉80%.

관행 이중피복온실과 공기주입 이중피복온실에 대하여 보온, 난방, 환기, 냉방 등 환경조절에 따른 온실내부의 환경변화를 연중 측정하여 온습도 및 광환경 분포특성을 비교분석함으로서 기존 온실의 환경을 개선할 수 있는 방안을 제시하기 위해 수행한 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 겨울철 야간에 난방시 공기주입온실과 관행온실의 커튼과 피복재 사이의 온도는 거의 비슷한 값을 보여주고 있어 보온효과는 거의 동일한 것으로 나타났다. 온실내부의 커튼 안쪽의 습도는 난방으로 인해 외부습도보다 낮게 유지되었으나 커튼과 피복재 사이의 습도는 거의 100%로 유지되었다. 주간의 우천시에도 두 가지 온실의 내부온도가 거의 비슷하여 보온효과는 동일한 것으로 나타났다. 주간에 천창환기시 두 온실 모두 일사로 인해 상하방향으로 온도의 편차가 크게 발생하였고, 공기주입온실이 관행온실에 비해 온도가 약간 더 낮기 때문에 환기효과가 더 우수한 것으로 판단된다. 온도분포와 마찬가지로 상하방향으로 습도편차가 크게 발생하였으며, 공기주입온실이 관행온실에 비해 습도가 약간 더 높게 나타나 환기효과가 더 우수한 것으로 판단된다. 야간에 천창환기시에는 두 온실 모두 주간과는 달리 일사가 없기 때문에 온실내부 전체적으로 균일한 온습도분포를 보여주고 있다. 간헐적 포그분사 냉방을 실시하였을 때 두 온실 모두 상하좌우로 비교적 균일한 온습도분포를 보여주었다. 연속 포그분사 냉방을 실시한 경우 전체적으로 균일한 온습도 분포를 보여주었으며, 평균 약 3.5℃ 정도의 냉방효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 커튼과 지붕피복재 사이의 공간에 대한 상대습도와 절대습도의 변화를 분석한 결과 거의 커튼을 닫는 시점에서 피복재의 온도가 노점 온도 이하로 낮아지기 시작하기 때문에 커튼을 닫음과 동시에 제습기를 사용하여 지붕과 커튼 사이 공간의 공기에 함유된 수증기를 제거하면 지붕의 피복재에 발생하는 결로를 억제할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 피복재의 사용기간이 경과함에 따라 공기주입온실에 비해 관행온실이 광투과율이 더 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 온실내부 피복재를 권취식으로 개폐하는 과정에서 먼지와 결로로 인해 오염되기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 피복재의 광투과율이 감소되는 것을 방지하기 위해서는 피복재의 권취식 개폐방식을 지양하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다. 결론적으로 온실의 이중피복 방법을 공기주입 이중피복형태로 하고 천창을 용마루 위치에 나비형태로 설치한다면 관행 이중피복 온실과 동일한 에너지절감효과를 유지하면서 광투과율을 현저히 개선할 수 있고 환기효율도 높일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

이전 실험에서 결정된 생육 단계별 최적 환경조건을 평가하기 위한 4가지 처리는 다음과 같았다: 생육 단계별 최적 환경 조건을 사용한 광독립 영양배양(photoautotrophic optimum condition with growth stage (POG)), 생육 단계별 평균 광합성 광량자속 밀도(photosynthetic photon flux density(PPFD))와 CO2 농도를 사용한 광독립 영양배양(photoautotrophic constant condition with average PPFD and CO2 of POG(PCA)), 생육 단계별 최대 PPFD와 CO2농도를 사용한 광독립 영양배양(photoautotrophic constant condition with maximum PPFD and CO2 of POG(PCM)) 그리고 대조군으로 3%의 당을 포함한 광혼합 영양배양(photomixotrophic conventional condition with 3% sucrose(PMC)). 실험 결과 각 생육 단계별 환경제어(POG)는 기내에서 배양된 감자 소식물체의 모든 생육 관련 항목에서 유의적 증진을 유도하였다. 또한 단위 건물중 당 소비된 전력과 CO2는 모든 처리 중 POG에서 가장 낮았다. 기외 이식 이후에도 POG에서 생산된 감자 묘는 PMC에서 자란 감자 묘와 전체적으로 큰 차이 없이 왕성한 생육을 유지하였다. 특히 POC는 기존 광혼합 영양방식(PCM)과 비교했을 때 기외 이식전과 이식 후 20일째 각각 4.7배와 3.8배 높은 건물중을 기록하였다. 따라서 POG와 같은 생육 단계별 환경 조절을 통한 광독립 영양 미세 증식 방법은 에너지 절감 효과와 함께 무균의 건강한 감자 묘의 생산에 효과적이었다.

Environmental tolerance of three important spider mite predators; Neoseiulus womersleyi, Neoseiulus californicus and Phytoseiulus persimilis (Phytoseiidae) was experimented by treating combination of temperature and relative humidity for egg hatching and immature survival. Egg hatching rate increased at the relative humidity incrased for three species. Temperature effects were only significant to N. californicus and P. persimilis. The lethal humidities for three species were in the range of 56-77, 82.0, 66-94% RH, respectively. Larva does not need to feed for larval development into protonymph in three tested species. No larvae survived at lower than 75% RH for N. womersleyi, but around 80% at 95% RH. N. californicus larvae survived around 50% and 100% at 75 and 95% RH. P. persimilis larve survival was decreased as the temperature increased at 75% RH, but platued around 100% at 95% RH. Cannibalism was higher in N. californicus and lower in P. persimilis. Implementation of the results was discussed relative to biological control of spider mites in open field and greenhouse crops.

For the development of friendly environmental control of the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua that is too hard to control in the field, 25 insecticides were chosen from 58 registered to the beet armyworm, and bioassayed. There are 12 insecticides with neurotoxical activities, 10 with insect growth regulators and 3 Bacillus thuringiensis products. Among 12 insecticides with neurotoxical activities, mortality of S. exigua was 100% with emamectin benzoate (EC) and indoxacarb (WP) within 3 and 5 days after application, respectively. Otherwise, WG and SC of indoxacarb, Indoxacarb + etofenprox (WP) and pyridalyl (EW) were showed up to 91%. Methoxyfenozide + spinosad (SC) was better than any other insect growth regulator as 100% mortality within 3 days after application. And methoxyfenozide (WP), tebufenozide (WP) and methoxyfenozide (SC) were 92% by 5 days. However, 3 kinds of B. thuringiensis products were showed under 35% mortality within 5 days from first spray.

This study was conducted to develop a system and an control algorithm for control the environment of a plant factory. The greenhouse control system for environmental control was largely composed of a computer and a PLC. The screen of control program was composed of a greenhouse figure which was included machinery and equipments for greenhouse, the graph of environmental factors of inside greenhouse and the image of greenhouse. In order to reduce temperature change, the operation time of ventilation window was changed by 3 stage according to difference between a target and present temperature. When is heating, a temperature variation was shown to be 16.7±0.8℃. When is cooling, a temperature variation was shown to be 23.1±0.6℃. When is humidifing, a humidity variation was shown to be 39.3±1.6℃ %RH. An environmental control system and a control algorithm were proved that it was shown a good performance in a control accuracy. So a computer control system should be adapted to a control system of a greenhouse and a plant factory.
