Abstract

It is generally accepted that organic materials are a significant factor on the soil aggregation formation but little information exists on how the formation and stabilization of aggregates in reclaimed tidelands. In this work, the effects of organic materials on the soil aggregate formation in reclaimed tidelands were determined. The soil was treated with 5 cm-size chopped fresh italian ryegrass residues (fresh organic material), commercial livestock compost with swine manure and sawdust (by product fertilizer), and fresh organic material + by product fertilizer (1 : 1 w/w) after ploughing at 20 cm soil depth. The three organic materials applied $2,000kg\;10a^{-1}$ every year. Water stable aggregate was estimated by wet-sieving method. Three years after the beginning of the experiment, water stable aggregate rate and MWD (mean weight diameter) were higher fresh organic material treatment than two other treatments. For improvement of physical property and structure of soil in reclaimed tidelands, fresh organic material treatment was more suitable than two other treatments.

신선유기물 (이탈리안 라이그라스), 신선유기물 + 부산물비료 그리고 부산물비료 처리 후 3년 동안 토양입단 발달상태를 조사한 결과, 토양별로는 모래 함량이 상대적으로 높은 새만금 간척지 토양 보다는 미사와 점토함량이 높은 고흥 간척지 토양에서의 입단형성이 더 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 유기물 자원 처리별로는 고흥 간척지 토양에서는 유의성 있는 차이가 나타나지 않았으나 (P<0.05), 새만금 간척지 토양에서는 녹비 형태의 신선 유기물 즉, 이탈리안 라이그라스를 처리한 시험구에서 가장 입단화도가 높게 나타났다. 유기물 종류별로는 이탈리안 라이그라스와 같은 신선 유기물을 단독 처리한 시험구에서 토양 입단의 중량평균직경이 가장 크게 나타났다. 간척지 토양의 물리성 및 토양구조 개선을 위한 유기물 처리시 신선유기물의 처리가 바람직하며, 불가피할 경우 일반 유기질/부산물비료의 단독처리보다는 신선유기물과 혼합하여 처리하는 것이 타당한 것으로 조사되었다.
