Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate the changes in soil chemical properties and yields of crops by rice-soybean rotation cropping system at silt loam soil. There were 4 rotation cropping systems; continuous rice cultivation, annual, biennial and triennial rotation of soybean and rice. There were little change in pH, organic matter, $Ca^{2+}$ and $K^+$ contents with decrease in available phosphate content in the continuous rice cropping. The cropping system of soybean-rice caused to increase in available $P_2O_5$, $K^+$ and $Ca^{2+}$ in the soil after harvest. Content of $NH_4-N$ in the soil also increased after the rotation of soybean than the continuous rice cropping in the soil during the rice growth period. These chemical change in the soil caused to increase rice growth in number of the panicles and the spikelet per square meter. The yield of rice was increased by the rotation with soybean, and was gradually increased in the triennial rotation of soybean and rice. But the yield of soybean was decreased in continuous cultivation for two or three years in the paddy field. It was recommended for annual rotation to prevent the yield of soybean from decrease.
본 연구는 미사양토인 호남평야지 논토양에서 벼와 콩의 윤작재배에 의한 토양화학성 변화와 작물생육에 미치는 영향을 구명하였다. 벼 연작, 콩-벼 1년 윤작, 콩 2년-벼 1년 윤작, 콩 3년-벼 1년 윤작의 처리를 두었다. 논 토양에서 벼를 연작 후 토양 중 pH, 토양 유기물, $Ca^{2+}$와 $K^+$함량은 별 변화가 없었으나 유효 인산함량은 점차 감소하였다. 한편 벼와 콩의 윤작으로 토양 중 유기물 함량은 감소하고, 유효인산과 $Ca^{2+}$와 $K^+$함량은 증가하였으며, 벼 생육기간 중 토양 중 암모니아태 질소함량도 높아졌다. 이러한 토양 중 양분함량의 변화로 인해 벼의 $m^2$당 수수와 수당립수가 많아져서, 쌀 수량은 1~4%증가하였다. 콩은 연작 연수가 길어질수록 수량이 낮아지는 경향이어서, 콩 논 재배 시에는 벼와 매년 윤작하는 것이 수량 저하를 방지하였다.
