유용 미생물 제제 이용 발효 유채박 비료 제조 및 시용 효과

Manufacturing Fermented Rapeseed Meal Compost using Two Microbial Agents and the Effect of Their Application

Abstract

본 연구에서는 유용 미생물 제제를 이용하여 유채박을 부숙시켜 비료 효과를 증진시키는 방법을 구명하고 작물에 처리 후 시용 효과를 확인하기 위해 수행되었으며, 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 유용 미생물 제제로는 시판 중인 미생물 담체와 미생물 발효제를 이용하였으며, 유채박을 부숙시켰을 시 pH와 EC, 전질소 함량의 변화는 없었다. 2. 그러나 부숙 일수가 증가 할수록 무기태 질소인 암모늄태 질소와 질산태 질소가 증가하였으며, 미생물 담체 이용 시 부숙 5일차에 암모늄태 질소가 5.6배, 질산태 질소가 1.5배 증가하였으며, 미생물 발효제 이용 시 암모늄태 질소 4.6배, 질산태 질소 1.5배가 증가하였다. 3. 두 미생물 제제 혼합 부숙 5일차 유채박을 토마토에 기비로 시용하였을 시, 모든 부숙 유채박 처리구에서 기존 복합비료보다 광합성량이 증가하여, 최종 초장이 증가하였다. 4. 토마토의 잎에서 질소함량은 미생물 발효제 혼합 부숙 유채박을 시용하였을 때, 복합비료 시용 시 보다 2배 많은 함량을 보여 토마토 초장의 증가는 식물체 흡수가 용이한 무기태 질소 시용 효과였음을 확인하였다. 5. 결과를 종합해볼 때, 유용 미생물 제제 중 미생물 발효제를 이용하여 유채박을 5일간 부숙시켜 고체 형태의 비료를 제조하였을 시, 무기태 질소 함량의 증가가 가장 많았으며 이를 토마토 등 작물에 시용했을 때 질소 흡수량이 증가하여 초장과 같은 영양생장기 생육 등에서 생육 증진 효과를 보일 수 있다고 판단된다.

Rapeseed meal, which is a byproduct of rapeseed oil extraction, improves crop productivity by supplying nutrients to the soil. The present study aimed to manufacture fermented rapeseed meal compost using two effective microbial agents and evaluate their efficiency as fertilizer. To types of fermented rapeseed meal, manufactured using either a bio-carrier or microbial agent, showed no differences in pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and total nitrogen content. However, the contents of $NH_4-N$ and $NO_3-N$ as inorganic nitrogen were increased by 5.6 times and 1.5 times, respectively, after 5 d of fermentation. Rapeseed meal fermented for 5 d was applied to tomato a basal fertilizer and after eight weeks, the plant height increased in all fermented rapeseed treatments compared to that in the chemical fertilizer treatment, and also the quantum yield of photosystem II (PS II) showed the same trend. The total nitrogen content of tomato leaves treated with a microbial fermented rapeseed meal was twice as high as that of that treated with a chemical fertilizer. It was confirmed that the increase in the tomato height was an effect of the rapeseed meal containing inorganic nitrogen, which can easily be absorbed by plants. From these results, it is considered that fermented rapeseed meal manufactured with an effective microbial agent for 5 d showed the highest inorganic nutrient content and greatest growth enhancement in tomato.

The ability was confirmed by the optimal quantum yield (a) and quantum yield of photosystem Ⅱ (PSⅡ) (b) in the leaves of tomato after four weeks of treatment. Bars represent standard error. Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences at P < 0.05 by Tukey’s test.
