This experiment was conducted to determine economic application method of Yakto among 6 application method : amount of Yakto application 3 plots(70 l, 25.5 l, 13.3l/kan), and added side dressing(3 l/kan) each plot. The reduced Yakto application(25.5 l/kan) with side dressing(3 l/kan) showed similar root diameter, fresh weight of roots and yield of good seedlings to standard Yakto application(70 l/kan). And also this application method of Yakto gave similar content of Ca and Mg, but the lower content of N, P, K in roots to standard Yakto application(70 l/kan). These suggested that 25.5 l Yakto application added side dressing(3 l/kan) per kan might be economical application method of Yakto.

This experiment were conducted to select cheaper and more favorable compost among several kinds of composts which were produced by companies, farmers etc. instead of Yakto. Yakto was similar to Standard Yakto in the content of inorganic salts, but PL and HJ composts contained more P$_2$O$\_$5/, K$_2$O, CaO and MgO content compared with Standard Yakto and EC in Yakto was also higher than Standard Yakto did, but the phosphorus, magnesium content and EC of Mushroom compost was higher than that of Standard Yakto. On the other hands, Rice straw compost contained higher contents of phosphorus, potassium and magnesium than Yakto did. Germination rate and early growth of lettuce and C/N ratio were tested for checking decomposed degree. The compost of HJ, Mushroom and Rice straw revealed higher C/N ratio, lower germination rate and shorter shoot length than Yakto showed. It was guessed that these composts were not decomposed enough. Emergence and survival rate of ginseng seeds in Yakto were the highest, but its germination in the composts of Mushroom, PL, HJ and Rice straw, in order, was decreased, and its survival rate in the composts of PL, Mushroom, HJ and Rice straw, in order, was decreased. It was concluded that fully decomposed manure should be used and it needs to Investigate perfect decomposed composts of PL and Mushroom instead of Yakto.

This experiment was conducted to determine the economic application method of Yakto among 6 application method : amount of Yakto application $3\;plot(70\;l,\;25.5\;l,\;13,3\;l/kan;\;180cm{\times}90cm),$ and added side dressing(3 l/kan) each plot. The reduced amoumt of Yakto application(25.5 l, 13.3 l/kan) were lower the contents of inorganic nitrogen, $P_{2}O_{5},\;K,\;Ca$ and Mg, but similar pH in bed soil compared with standard Yakto application(70 l/kan). Side dressing applicated on 29 May increased the contents of inorganic nitrogen, $P_{2}O_{5},\;K,\;Ca,\;Mg$ and salt concentration in bed soil compared with non­side dressing in each Yakto application plot(70 l, 25.5 l, 13,3 l/kan). The reduced amoumt of Yakto application(25.5 l/kan) added side dressing(3 l/kan) were similar the contents of inorganic nitrogen, K, Mg and salt but lower $P_{2}O_{5}$ and Ca in bed soil compared with standard Yakto application(70 l/kan) in June. The reduced amoumt of Yakto application(25,5 l/Kan) added side dressing(3 l/kan) was similar the contents of P, K, Ca and Mg but lower N in leaves compared with standard Yakto application(70 l/kan). The reduced amoumt of Yakto application(25.5 l/kan) added side dressing(3 l/kan) was shorter stem length, and higher $5{\%}$ chlorosis of leaf tip, but similar emergence ratio, survival ratio, leaf senescence ratio, chlorophyll, stem diameter and leaf area compared with standard Yakto application(70 l/kan). These suggested that 25.5 l Yakto application added side dressing(3 l/kan) per kan might be possible economical application method of Yakto.

1. Ginseng field and virgin soils, to which Yakto, washed Yakto, litters (deciduous and coniferous trees) and bone meal were applied, were incubated at 60% of field capacity of the soils to shed light on the production of $NH_4-N$ and $NO_3-N$ through mineralization of the organic materials being the nitrogen sources for Korean ginseng. 2. Total nitrogen content mineralized in the soils, to which the following organic materials were applied, was:bone meal>Yakto${\gg}$litter (deciduous trees)> washed Yakto, litter (coniferous trees). The content increased with incubation time in all the virgin and ginseng field soils excepting only the virgin soils applied with washed Yakto and litters of which the contents decreased. A large part of nitrogen mineralized in the virgin and ginseng field soils to which Yakto was applied was nitrate form, while a half ginseng field soils and a considerable part in the other virgin soils was ammonium form in the other treatments. 3. $NH_4-N$ content produced in the virgin and ginseng field soils applied with bone meal increased with the time, while it decreased in the other treatments. And the content in the soils applied with bone meal was very high. 4. $NO_3-N$ content showed a continuous increase during the incubation time in all treatments of ginseng field soils and only in the virgin soil to which Yakto was applied, wherease it showed almost no change in the other treatments of virgin soils. And the content in the soils applied with Yakto was very high. 5. Yakto was expected to supply nitrate enough to meet amounts of nitrogen required by ginseng with different ages and also expected to increase in soil fertility, while bone meal was expected only to supply much nitrogen of which a considerable part was ammonium form.

This experiment were conducted to select cheaper and more favorable compost among several kinds of composts which were produced by companies, farmers etc. instead of Yakto. The yield of usable ginseng seedling was also the highest in compost of Yakto, but that of usable seedling were inclined to be decreased in the compost of PL, Mushroom, Rice straw and HJ, in order. The content of inorganic salts in different kinds of composts was much different from individual organ part including leaf, stem and root. It was concluded that fully decomposed manure should be used and it needs to investigate perfect decomposed composts of PL and Mushroom instead of Yakto in order to yield ginseng seedings

The cultivation of ginseng plant (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) in Korea as an eminent medicinal herb may be traced far back in history. However, the practices in cultivation have not much improved in terms of efficiency and scientific farming. In the present study some experiments were undertaken for the search of the soil and nutrition conditions, because of the nutritional requirement of ginseng plant shaws quite unique compared with other crops. In both the seed bed and the field 'Yakto' has been traditionally employed or the prime source of nutrition of the crop. Yakto is a complex matter prepared from raw foliage of the broad-leaved trees as the main portion with the admixture of a variety of organic nitrogen source through fermentative processes. The composition of Yakto may be classified coarsely into the decomposed and undecomposed substances, the former being further fractionated according their solubilities, comprising also various colloidal matters whose composition and structure are yet to be known. The Yakto-fractions were subjected to analyze for search of its nature and coarse composition in terms of the distribution of nitrogen, contents of organic functional groups such as -COOH, phenolic-OH, alcholic-OH and methoxyl and hydrolysable sugars. Furthermore, absorption-spectra of each fraction were determined in visible and infrared region and compared the results each other.

1. Nitrogenous compounds of-organic materials as nitrogen sources for Korean ginseng were characterized according to their solubility and chemical forms. 2. The extractable fractionation was as follows : Yakto group : non-extractable N > acid hydrolyzable N > acid nonhydrolyzable N > water sol. N, Litter group : acid hydrolyzable N > non-extractable N > water sol. N > acid non-hydrolyzable N, Bone meal : acid hydrolyzable N > water sol. N > acid non-hydrolyzable N. 3. Nitrogenous compounds in the water sol. fraction were : Yakto group and Litter group : humus N > amino acid N > nitrate N (recognized only in Yakto group) > ammonia N > hexosamine N > amide N, Bone meal : amino acid N > humus N > ammonia N > amide N. And nitrogenous compounds in the acid hydrolyzable fraction were : amino acid N > humus N ${\simeq}$ ammonia N > hexosamine N. 4. Availability was discussed about the major nitrogenous compounds (amino acid, humus and inorganic N) and the solubility.

The study is an attempt to prepare the raw graze can replace the lead glaze that has been used for a long time as Korean Kimchi-jars. 1) The batch of the glaze that show the similar properties and appearance of lead-glaze were 40% of Yongin or Anseong Yakto, 40% of Ash and 20% of Anhydrous-Colemanite. It's Seger Formula was {0.86 CaO 0.02 MgO 0.12 KNaO} {0.26 Al2O3 0.0007 Fe2O3} 0.92 SiO2 0.3 B2O3 2) The firing temperature of selected glaze was 950-1050℃. 3) As the content of anhydrous-Colemanite was increased, the thermal expansion coefficient was decreased. 4) The color of leadless raw glaze was translucent light yellow. It was possible to obtain the same color as lead glaze by Fe2O3 and MnO2.
