Abstract

This research was conducted to investigate the changes in soil chemical properties of root media as influenced by incorporation rate of a polyacryl amide hydrogel, Stocksorb C. The pH at 5 weeks after treatment in four root media such as peatmoss + vermiculite (1:1, v/v; PV), peatmoss + composted rice hull (1:1; PR), peatmoss + composted saw dust (1:1; PD) and peatmoss + composted pine bark (1:1; PB) containing STSB were in the range from 7.04 to 7.30, which was too high. Elevated incorporation rate of STSB resulted in increase of EC in soil solution of four root media with linear and quadratic response. The concentrations of $NH_4^+-N,\;NO_3^--N,\;PO_4-P^{3-},\;K^+,\;Ca^{2+}and\;Mg^{2+}$ in four kinds of root media increased as incorporation rates of STSB were elevated. But the $NO_3^-$-N concentrations in PS media were lower than those in other there root media tested. The Fe concentrations in PV, PR and PS media increased as incorporation rates of STSB were elevated, but those in PB medium did not show significant different. The concentrations of $Fe^{2+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Zn^{2+}and\;Cu^{2+}$ in PS media were higher than those in other three root media.

본 연구는 혼합상토에 polyacrylamide 고흡수성 수지 Stocksorb C를 혼합할 경우 혼합상토 종류별 화학성에 미치는 영향을 밝히기 위하여 수행하였다. 네종류 혼합상토, 피트모쓰+버미클라이트(PV, 1:1; v/v), 피트모쓰+부숙왕겨(PR, 1:1: v/v), 피트모쓰+부숙톱밥(PS, 1:1; v/v), 그리고 피트모쓰+부숙수피(PB, 1:1; v/v)를 조제하는 과정에서 STSB를 혼합하고 5주 후에 측정한 상토의 pH는 모두 $7.04{\~}7.30$ 범위에 포함되어 너무 높았다. STBS의 혼합량이 많아질수록 전기전도도도 상승하였고, 네 종류 상토에서 처리 간 통계적인 차이와 함께 직선 및 2차곡선회귀가 성립하여 경향을 찾을 수 있었다. STBS의 혼합량이 많아질수록 상토의 $NH_4^+-N,\;NO_3^--N,\;PO_4-P^{3-},\;K^+,\;Ca^{2+}$$Mg^{2+}$ 농도가 높아졌다. 그러나 PS 상토에서는 다른 세 종류 상토에서 보다 상대적인 $NO_3^--N$의 농도가 낮았다. STSB의 혼합비율이 증가함에 따라 PV, PR 및 PS 상토에서의 $Fe^{2+}$ 농도가 높아졌으나, PB 상토에서는 경향을 찾을 수 없었다. 또한 PS 상토에서의 $Fe^{2+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Cu^{2+}$$Zn^{2+}$ 농도가 다른 세 종류 상토에서 보다 높았다.
