본 연구는 유기농업을 위한 중경제초기 개발로 제초날 형상 등 제초기 본체와 헤어리베치 파종시기 및 경운방법별 잡초발생 양상과 수량을 분석하였다. 헤어리베치의 건물량은 추파가 $6,730g\;ha^{-1}$로 춘파 $1,690g\;ha^{-1}$보다 3배 이상 높았다. 파종시기에 따른 헤어리베치의 식물체 분석을 보면, 전 질소는 추파가 5.4 kg으로 춘파 2.0 kg에 비해 2배 이상 높았다. 관행 비닐멀칭구에 비해 헤어리베치 처리구가 초장, 경태, 그리고 엽수가 다소 작았고, 출수기도 추파구는 8일, 춘파구는 12일 지연되었다. 잡초방제가는 무피복 대비 각각 피복비닐구, 부분경운구가 각각 88%, 71% 순이었다. 수량은 단작 비닐멀칭구가 $2,310kg\;ha^{-1}$, 추파 부분 경운구가 $2,130kg\;ha^{-1}$이었다.
The effects of cover crops on weed suppression were evaluated in this study. Weed suppressing effects of hairy vetch cover crops were evaluated in summer grain fields. Cover crops were sown at the sowing rate of $60kg\;ha^{-1}$ on Oct. 2012 and Feb. 2013 without basal fertilization. Three weeks old sorghum seedlings were transplanted after minimum tillage on June 2013. Hairy vetch cover crop treatment significantly reduced weed biomass in the transplanted sorghum. By smothering, the cover crops reduced weed biomass to economic level in sorghum. Besides the weed suppression, hairy vetch cover crop resulted in green manure effect on crop growth. Hairy vetch treatment showed beneficial effects on sorghum growth. Reduction of weeds caused by use of strip-tillage machine and polyethylene film mulching was 71% and 88%, respectively. At harvest, yield of sorghum was greater in order of polyethylene film mulching > hairy vetch cover crop > control in transplanted fields.
