Abstract

This study was carried out to compare physical properties of the horticultural substrates measured by the European standard methods (CEN methods) and the Rural Development Administration of Korea methods (RDA methods). Sixty horticultural substrates including 40 marketed substrates and 10 organic and inorganic raw materials such as peat moss, coir dust, rice hull, perlite and zeolite were sampled. The samples were then analyzed for 6 physical properties by both CEN methods and RDA methods. The results of both methods were analyzed by linear regression. Bulk density ($R^2=0.8304$), particle density ($R^2=0.8136$) and porosity ($R^2=0.6374$) values measured by the two methods were highly significant. Whereas those for easily available water (EAW, $R^2=0.3327$), water volume ($R^2=0.2692$) and air volume ($R^2=0.0739$) were not significant. Further research is needed to facilitate the conversion between the two methods.

플러그 육묘 산업에서 상토의 중요성은 높아지고 있고 식물 생육에 적절한 상토의 물리성과 화학성에 대해 중점을 두어 보다 더 집중적인 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 이러한 상토 분석을 위한 분석법이 국내외적으로 표준화되지 않아서 분석 결과를 비교하여 해석하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 유럽에서 표준화된 상토 분석법(CEN 분석법)과 국내에서 표준화된 상토 분석법(RDA)을 이용하여 상토를 분석한 후 각각 분석법에 따른 결과를 조사하고 상호간에 결과를 호환하기 위하여 실시하였다. 상토는 국내에서 시판되고 있는 상토와 피트모스, 코코피트, 훈탄, 질석 등의 원자재를 이용하였고 상토의 물리성은 CEN 분석법과 RDA 분석법으로 각각 측정하여 두 분석법간에 상관관계를 조사하였다. 가밀도($R^2=0.8304$, p<0.01)와 진밀도 (($R^2=0.8316$, p<0.01) 및 공극률($R^2=0.6364$, p<0.01) 측정에서는 두 분석법 간에 높은 상관관계를 나타냈고 액상(($R^2=0.2692$, p<0.01)과 기상($R^2=0.0739$, p<0.01) 및 유효수분함량($R^2=0.3327$, p<0.01)은 CEN 분석법과 RDA 분석법간에 낮은 상관관계를 나타냈다. 액상과 기상, 유효수분 함량은 측정된 결과를 서로 비교하기 위해서는 기존 분석방법에 대한 연구를 수행하면서 계속해서 수정 보완해야 할 것으로 생각된다.
