Abstract
This study was carried out to elucidate the effects of mulching materials on the growth of potato and weed control at the experimental farm of Chungbuk National University from August 9 in 2008 to June 28 in 2009. Tested potato, cv. 'Superior', was grown under the different mulching materials such as pine tree leaf, oak tree leaf, rice straw, rice hull and sawdust, and control(non-mulching). We tested two times with autumn and spring culture season. The obtained results from this study were summarized as follows; There was significantly difference in plant height, stem length, leaf length, leaf weight and tuber weight in pine tree leaf mulching treatment in autumn season among the treatments. The dominant weeds were Echinochioa crus-galli var. fadmerntacca and Cyperus amvuricus in autumn culture season, while were Echinochioa crus-galli var. fadmerntacca and Digitaria sanguinalis in spring culture season. The appearance of weeds in all of mulching treatment was significant reduced compared to control. The soil moisture content was the highest in rice hull mulching treatment, and that of mulching treatments was significantly higher than control. The soil temperature of mulching treatments was lower than that of control by from $1.0^{\circ}C$to $2.8^{\circ}C$ in autumn season and from $0.7^{\circ}C$ to $2.3^{\circ}C$ in spring season. The soil temperature was low in the order of pine tree leaf, rice straw, oak tree leaf, rice hull, sawdust, and control.
몇 가지 멀칭 재료가 감자의 생육과 잡초 방제에 미치는 영향을 구명코자 충북대학교 부속농장에서 2008년 8월 9일부터 2009년 6월 28일까지 수행하였다. 시험 품종은 '수미'였으며, 솔잎, 참나무잎, 짚, 왕겨, 톱밥 멀칭과 대조구(무멀칭) 등 6처리를 하였다. 재배시기에 따라 가을재배와 봄재배로 구분하였다. 본 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 가을감자의 초장, 경장, 엽장, 엽중, 괴경중은 솔잎 멀칭구에서 다른 처리와 유의성을 나타냈다. 가을감자 재배시 우점 잡초는 돌피, 명아주이었으며, 봄감자 재배시 우점 잡초는 돌피, 방동사니이었다. 멀칭에 따른 잡초 발생 억제 효과는 모든 멀칭구가 대조구와 유의성을 나타냈다. 수분함량은 왕겨 멀칭구에서 가장 높아 대조구와 차이를 나타냈다. 멀칭 처리구의 지온은 대조구에 비해 가을감자 재배시 $1.0{\sim}2.8^{\circ}C$ 낮았고, 봄감자 재배시 $0.7{\sim}2.3^{\circ}C$ 낮았다. 멀칭재료에 따른 지온은 솔잎 멀칭구, 짚 멀칭구, 낙엽 멀칭구, 왕겨 멀칭구, 톱밥 멀칭구, 대조구 순으로 낮았다.
