Abstract
To enable rapid and convenient soil test, new soil analytical methods, which require only one instrument, UV/Vis spectrophotometer, were developed and named "Soiltek KA-P spectrophotometric methods". The Soiltek$^{(R)}$ KA-P spectrophotometric method was compared with standard method of RDA in analytical capability for soil chemical properties. Using the 78 soils collected from upland, paddy, orchard, and vinyl house soils, soil organic matter, exchangeable K, Ca, and Mg. CEC, available $SiO_2$, and nitrate were analyzed by the two methods. The color stability(ratio of the absorbance at elapsed time t to the absorbance at time t=0) of organic matter. Ca, Mg, and available $SiO_2$ decreased to about 2% within one hour. However, that of exchangeable K, CEC, and nitrate remained constant. The results obtained with Soiltek$^{(R)}$ KA-P spectrophotometric method showed highly significant correlation with those measured by the standard method of RDA($R^2$ >0.9501), in which the slopes were near unity of $1.0{\pm}0.05$. The standard deviation values of organic matter, exchangeable K, Ca, and Mg, CEC, available $SiO_2$, and nitrate were apparently lower than ${\pm}1.8gkg^{-1}$, ${\pm}0.05cmol^+kg^{-1}$, ${\pm}0.18cmol^+kg^{-1}$, and ${\pm}0.13cmol^+kg^{-1}$, ${\pm}1.0cmol^+kg^{-1}$, ${\pm}5.0mgkg^{-1}$, and ${\pm}10.0mgkg^{-1}$, respectively. All the measurements showed coefficients of variation of less than 7~17% and were within the confidence level of 95%, which means both the methods are precise. Considering the relative simplicity, low cost, precision and accuracy, the proposed Soiltek$^{(R)}$ KA-P spectrophotometric methods could be recommended as an alternative to standard method.
일반 밭, 논, 과수원 및 비닐하우스 토양 78점을 채취하여 3반복으로 농촌진흥청 표준분석법과 Soiltek$^{(R)}$ KA-P 분광광도계법으로 유기물, 치환성 K, Ca 및 Mg, CEC, 유효규산 및 질산염 함량을 측정하였다. Soiltek$^{(R)}$ KA-P 분광광도계로 측정한 유기물, 치환성 Ca, 및 Mg 용액의 발색 안정도는 1시간 동안 약 2%정도 낮아졌으며, 치환성 K, CEC및 질산염은 거의 변화가 없었다. Soiltek$^{(R)}$ KA-P 분광광도계로 측정한 분석 절대값은 농촌진흥청 표준분석법으로 측정한 값과 거의 1:1의 관계를 갖고 있었으며, 결정계수($R^2$)는 0.9501 이상이었다. 두 방법으로 측정한 유기물, 치환성 K, Ca 및 Mg, CEC, 유효규산 및 질산염의 표준편차는 각각 ${\pm}1.8gkg^{-1}$, ${\pm}0.05cmol^+kg^{-1}$, ${\pm}0.18cmol^+kg^{-1}$ 및 ${\pm}0.13cmol^+kg^{-1}$, ${\pm}1.0cmol^+kg^{-1}$, ${\pm}5.0mgkg^{-1}$ 및 ${\pm}10.0mgkg^{-1}$ 이하였다. 모든 성분에 대한 분석값은 95% 신뢰수준을 만족시켰으며, 변이계수는 7~17% 이하였다. 따라서, 기기조작의 간편성 저가 기기의 사용, 정확도, 정밀도 등을 고려한다면 Soiltek$^{(R)}$ KA-P 분광광도계에서 제시하는 방법으로 측정하는 것도 유용한 방법이라고 생각된다.
