Case study of good soil management in plastic film-house cultivation

시설하우스 재배농가의 우수토양관리 사례연구

Cultivation area of the plastic film-house has been continuously increased with the increase of consumers' income. Intensive land use without fallowing or crop rotation caused severe problem such as salt accumulation in soils and in turn retarded growth and low productivity. This study was carried out to solve them derived from longterm intensive farming practices. Seven farmers who are practicing plastic film-house cultivation were recommended for case study by municipal government and selected for their excellency of cultivation and soil management. The cultivation periods of these systems were in the range of 5 to 40 years in the regions mainly located in alluvial soil cultivated with cucumber, tomato and red pepper. The soils texture of the excellent farmers' fields were silt loam or sandy loam, ranged from 7 to 15 percents of clay contents. Soil bulk density, depth of plowing layer and soil aggregates contents of the farmers' soils were 0.89, 23.1 cm, 61.6% whereas those in neighboring soils were 1.10, 17.8 cm, 54.2 %, respectively. And pH, OM and $NO_3-N$ of the farmers' soils also were better than those of neighboring soils. There was no difference in population densities of nematode between the good farmers' and neighboring soils, but actinomyces and Fusarium densities of recommended farmers' soils were better than neighboring soils. The major farming practices by the good farmers were characterized by deep plowing with flooding, amendment of crude organic matter, and reduction of chemical fertilizer application before transplanting, and also drip irrigation and liquid manure application after planting. They also conducted solar sterilization with or without flooding, removal of plastic films during rainy days and culturing rice or corn as rotation crops to avoid the problems mentioned above.

가. 우수 토양관리농가의 토성은 대부분 SiL이나 SL이었으며 점토함량은 7%~15%범위이었다. 토양의 용적밀도는 우수 토양관리농가 0.89, 인근농가 1.10이었고, 작토심은 평균 23.1cm로 인근농가 17.8cm 보다 깊었으며, 토양입단함량은 우수 토양관리 농가 61.6, 인근농가 54.2%이었다. 나. 토양의 화학성은 우수토양관리농가가 인근농가에 비해 pH, OM, $NO_3-N$가 양호한 편이었다. 다. 토양선충밀도는 우수 토양관리농가가 인근농가에 비해 뚜렷한 경향이 없었으나, 방선균의 밀도는 우수 토양관리 농가가 인근농가나 노지에 비하여 많은 편이었고, 토양병원성세균인 후사리움밀도는 두 농가를 제외하고는 우수토양관리농가가 인근에 비해 적었다. 라. 우수 토양관리농가의 공통특징은 정식전에는 담수+심경, 거친유기물을 시용하고 화학비료를 지양했으며, 정식 후에는 정적판수와 자가액비(+영양제)위주로 양수분을 공급하며, 휴한기에는 담수+태양열소독이나, 우기시 피복물제거, 옥수수 등 제염작물 재배 및 논으로의 환원 등이었다.
