Abstract
ln this study, the questionnaire survey was performed to obtain the basic data on current situations and challengeable aspects of vermicomposting industries. The questionnaire contained the four main categories such as vermicomposting facilities, feeling marerials, earthworm breeding and cast handling. The results was summarized as followings: 1. Vermicomposting facilities area was becoming larger, and earthworm feed was also expending to various organic sludges. These trends showed that Vermicomposting is being enlightened to treat and recycle the organic wastes in Korea. 2. Present Vermicomposting technology needs the broad land. Because of the high cost of land in Korea, the land saving technology such as multistage must be needed. And present operation practices are mostly based on human power, mechanization and automation is needed. Also, present control practices are based on individual experience need the scientific base control system. 3. Considering situations of organic wastes management in Korea, the technical development and the practical improvement of Vermicomposting as the waste recycling will be needed.
본 연구는 지렁이 사육농가의 실태 조사를 통하여 향후 지렁이 산업발전의 기초자료로 활용하고자 지렁이 사육시설, 먹이사항 및 지렁이와 분변토 관리에 관한 사항 등을 조시하였다. 국내지렁이 사육시설은 규모적 측면에서 대형화가 이루어지고 있으며, 지렁이의 먹이도 각종 유기성 슬러지로 확대되고 있는 것으로 조사되어, 향후 지렁이 사육농가의 지속적인 교육과 홍보가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 지렁이 퇴비화 산업의 발전을 위하여 처리공정의 기계화 및 자동화가 이루어져야 하며, 주요 생산품인 지렁이와 분변토의 고부가 상품개발과 아울러 지렁이 퇴비화 산업의 국가적인 정책지원이 필요한 것으로 조사되었다.
