Effects of Lime and Phosphate Application on Mineral Content of Pasture Species in Volcanic Ash Soil of Cheju Island

제주 화산회토양에 석회 및 인산시용이 목초의 무인성분 함량에 미치는 영향

This study was carried out to determine the effects of lime(0, 300 kg/lOa) and phosphate application( 0, 20, 40, 80 kg/lOa) on mineral contents in herbage when 5 pasture species(orchardgrass, tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, redtop and ladino clover) were grown in pot of black(B) and very dark brown (VDB) volcanic ash soil of Cheju island, respectively. P content of orchardgrass and perennial ryegrass were higher in VDB than in B (P<0.01), but other grasses were not different between two soil types. Also, Ca and Mg contents of ladino clover were higher in VDB than in B, but other grasses were not different between two soil types. P and K contents were not affected by lime but Ca and Mg contents were increased by lime application in most of the pasture species. P, Ca, Mg and Na contents of all pasture spesies were increased by phosphate application(P< 0.Ol)except for Ca content of tall fescue. K and Fe content were decreased, with increasing phosphate application but Zn content was not changed by phosphate application.
