Abstract
Carbon material such as graphite and activated charcoal can promote the growth of some formsog bacteria. We examined whether this bacterial growth promoting effect can have a positive influence on field crops. Refined graphite was mixed into the standard soil used in rice cultivation. Varying soil graphite mixtures of 0.1%, 0.5% and 1% were used to cultivate rice seedling for 3 weeks. After transplanting in the filed, rice plants were cultivated for 4 months. To observe the effect of graphite(carbon material) during the cultivation of rice, we examined various different growth components in this research. During the transplanting stage, growth promoting effect of carbon was observed in the 0.1% carbon added soil. However, there were not much difference between graphite added soil and standard soil in the other stages. Rice yield was highest in the soil with 0.1% graphite.
흑연이나 활성탄등의 탄소물질이 작물의 생육을 촉진하며 유용 토양미생물의 생육을 촉진하는것으로 알려져 있어 본 실험에는 제철공정에서 재활용, 정제된 흑연을 상토의 첨가제로 시용하여 벼의 생육과 수량에 미치는 영향에 대하여 실험하였다. 실험결과, 이앙기의 생육은 대조구와 비교하여 0.1% 흑연 첨가구에서 생육 촉진효과가 보였으며 이앙후 처리구별 생육의 차이는 그다지 보이지 않았다. 다만 0.1% 첨가구에서 육묘한 벼의 수량은 특별한 통계적 유의성을 보이지 않았으나 약 1%정도 증수되었다.
