우리나라 유통상토에 대한 물리적 표준분석법을 설정하기 위한 연구를 실시하였다. 국내 시중에 유통되고 있는 53개의 원예용 상토와 9개의 수도용 상토를 대상으로 설정된 분석법을적용하여 실험하였다. 수분함량은 $105^{\circ}C$ 건조기에서 16시간 건조하여 수도용상토는 (건조전 무게-건조 후 무게) / (건조 후 무게) ${\times}100$으로, 원예용상토는 (건조 전 무게 - 건조 후 무게 ) / (건조전 무게) ${\times}100$ 으로 하였다. 보수력은 주로 저 압용으로서 Eijkelkamp사의 Sandbox법을 사용하여 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 kPa의 수분장력 상태의 수분함량을 조사하였다. 포화수리전도도는 직경 5cm${\times}$높이 20cm인 아크릴 원통을 이용하여 정수위별에 의한 포화수리전도도를 측정하였다. 신분석법에 의한 유통상토의 수분함량은 원예용이 평균 46.34%, 수도용이 평균 16.89%이었고 원에용 상토의 EAW는 28.4%, WBC 7.01%, OMP는 5.60 kPa로 나타났으며, 육묘를 위한 적정 수분함량은 44.41% 이었고 포화수리전도도는 $1.71cm\;min^{-1}$이었다.
Methods of bedsoil analysis were difficult to be applied universally because use and material of bedsoil are diverse from country to country. Korean Standard Methods for Bedsoil Analysis was developed to measure the water content, water retention, and saturated hydraulic conductivity. Fifty-three samples for horticultural bedsoil and nine samples for paddy rice bedsoil in the current market were collected. Water content of bedsoil was determined using gravimetric method through $105^{\circ}C$ oven-dry for 16 hours, but different calculations between horticultural and paddy rice bedsoils were chosen according to different predominant component, plant residue or mineral. Water content percentage of horticultural bedsoil was calculated as [(weight of sample before oven-dry - weight of sample after oven-dry)/(weight of sample before oven-dry)]${\times}100$, while that of paddy rice bedsoil as [(weight of sample before oven-dry - weight of sample after oven-dry)/(weight of sample after oven-dry)]${\times}100$. Water retention was measured at water potential -0.5, -1, -3, -5, -7, -10 kPa by Sandbox method and saturated hydraulic conductivity was measured by constant head method using acryl cylinder (${\Phi}5cm{\times}L\;20cm$). By new 'Korean Standard Methods of Bedsoil Analysis', the average water content of horticultural bedsoil was obtained 46.34%(w/w) and that of paddy rice bedsoil 16.89%. For horticultural bedsoil, easily available water(EAW), water buffering capacity(WBC), and optimal matric potential(OMP) was estimated at 28.4%, 7.01%, and -5.60 kPa, respectively. Optimal moisture content was 44.41% and average saturated hydraulic conductivity for bedsoils was estimated at $28.4cm\;min^{-1}$.
