Abstract

Objective of this experiment was to investigate the growth effects of Chinese cabbage and soil salinity to alternative irrigation waters for drought periods. The treatments were consisted of the discharge water from industrial wastewater treatment plant (DIWT), the discharge water from municipal wastewater treatment plant (DMWT) and ground water as the control. For the chemical compositions of alternative water, it appeared that concentrations of the $Ni^+$ and SAR values in DIWT were over the reuse criteria of other countries for irrigation, but CODcr concentration in DMWT was higher than the reuse criteria for agricultural irrigation. According to classification of water by $EC_i$ value, DIWT and DMWT are ranged from 0.7 to $2.0dS\;m^{-1}$, slight salinity. Average harvest indexes were 0.64 for DIWT and 0.63 for DMWT as compared to 0.61 of the control regardless of irrigation periods. SAR value in soil was increased with prolonging the irrigation periods at head forming stage, but not much difference except for 30 days of irrigation period at harvesting time for DIWT. However, it was not much difference along with irrigation periods through the growth stages for DMWT as compared with the groundwater. At harvesting time, average $EC_e$ for the soil irrigated with alternative agricultural waters was $0.017dS\;m^{-1}$ for its DIMT and $0.036dS\;m^{-1}$ for its DMWT as compared to $0.013dS\;m^{-1}$ of its groundwater as the control. For $NH_4-N$ concentrations, it observed that there were no differences among the treatments with different irrigation periods at head forming stage in soil after irrigation. Also, $NO_3-N$ concentration in soil was increased up to 20 days after irrigation, and then decreased at 30 days after irrigation with DMWT at head forming stage. The $Ni^+$ concentration in upper layer soil (0-15 cm) irrigated with DIWT was increased with prolonging the irrigation period at head forming stage, but it was dramatically decreased and almost constant in all the treatments at harvesting time. Therefore, it might be concluded that there was potentially safe to irrigate the discharge water from municipal wastewater treatment plant for 20 days after transplanting to drought periods with cultivating the Chinese cabbage.

갈수기에 관개한 대체용수가 배추 생육 및 토양 염류도에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위해 대체관개용수로 산업공장 폐수처리장 방류수, 하수종말처리장 방류수와 대조구로서 지하수를 관개하여 본 실험을 수행하였다. 관개한 대체용수에 대한 화학구성 성분은 산업공장 폐수처리장 방류수의 $Ni^+$ 농도와 SAR 값은 관개수로서 다른 국가의 재활용 기준치를 상회하였다. 또한 하수종말처리장 방류수의 CODcr 농도는 농업관개용수 재활용 기준을 초과하는 것으로 나타났다. ECi 값은 산업공장 폐수처리장 및 하수종말처리장 방류수가 0.7에서 $2.0dS\;m^{-1}$로서 약한 염류도에 속하였다. 산업공장 폐수처리장 및 하수종말처리장 방류수 관개구의 평균 수확지수는 관개기간에 관계없이 대조구 0.61에 비교하여, 각각 0.64과 0.63으로 나타났다. 토양중의 SAR값은 결구기에 관개기간이 지연됨에 따라 증가하였지만, 산업공장 폐수처리장 방류수 관개구에 대해서는 수확기에 30일간 관개한 것을 제외하고는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나, 하수종말처리장 방류수를 관개한 경우 대조구와 비교하여 전생육기간을 통해 관개기간에 따른 큰 차이는 없었다. 수확기에 산업공장 폐수처리장 및 하수종말처리장 방류수 관개구의 평균 ECe는 대조구 $0.013dS\;m^{-1}$에 비교하여 각각 $0.017dS\;m^{-1}$$0.036dS\;m^{-1}$이었다. 대체용수를 관개한 후 수확기의 토양 중 $NH_4-N$ 농도는 관개기간에 따른 대체용수원 별로는 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 관측되었다. 또한, 토양 중의 $NO_3-N$ 농도는 관개 후 20일까지는 증가하였지만, 결구기에 하수종말처리장 방류수 관개 후 30일에는 감소하였다. 하수종말 처리장 방류수를 관개한 표토층(0 15 cm)의 $Ni^+$ 함량은 결구기에 관개기간이 지연됨에 따라 증가하였지만, 수확기에 급격히 감소하여 모든 처리구에서 일정 수준을 유지하였다. 그러므로, 배추경작 시 갈수기에 배추정식 후 20일간 하수종말 처리장 방류수를 20일간 관개하여도 안전한 것으로 사료된다.
