Abstract

Volumetric soil water contents through a soil profile were monitored to identify the effects of tillage systems and soil physico-chemical characteristic on soil water movement from the soil profile. Water content profiles under no tillage (NT) and conventional tillage (CT) practices were compared at two commercial farms in central Illinois from 1992 through 1994, using neutron-scattering techniques in weekly intervals during each growing season. The volumetric water content of surface soil layers was affected more by tillage systems and rainfall amounts, whereas that of the subsoil layers was more strongly affected by soil types. Soil water percolated faster through Saybrook and Catlin soils than through Drummer, Flanagan, and Ipava soils because Saybrook and Catlin soils have lower clay content and water-retention capacity and higher permeability than Drummer, Flanagan, and Ipava soils. Increased soil organic matter (SOM) in Drummer, Flanagan, and Ipava soils would be attributable to the higher soil water retention than other soil types. Soil water contents in the corn root zone were consistently higher under CT plots than under NT plots.

토양수분 이동에 대한 토양 특성과 경운의 영향을 구명하기 위하여 3년 동안 일리노이 중부지방의 몇 개 토양통이 다른 옥수수 포장에서 토양 수분함량을 조사하였다. 경작 기간중의 무경운과 경운된 포장에서 30 cm 간격으로 깊이 150 cm 까지 Neutron Scattering 기술에 의하여 수분함량을 측정하였다. 토양 경작층에서의 수분함량은 경운이나 강우에 의해 수분함량의 영향을 받은 반면 심토에서는 토성에 의해 영향을 받았다. 토양수분은 점토 함량이 상대적으로 낮은 Saybrook통이나 Catlin통에서 점토 함량이 높아 수분 보유능이 높은 Drummer통, Flanagan통, 및 Ipava통보다 빠르게 이동하였다. 이들 Drummer통, Flanagan통, Ipava통의 높은 유기물 함량은 수분 보유능을 증가시키는 또 다른 이유가 될 수 있다. 또한 옥수수 경작층에서의 수분함량은 경운 포장에서 무경운 포장보다 높았다.
