Effects of Hairy Vetch and Rye Cover on Weed Occurrences and Minor Cereal Growth

This study was conducted to evaluate the weed suppressing effects of two winter cover crops, hairy vetch and rye in foxtail millet and sorghum fields in 2010. Crop growth and development and weed occurrences in the fields were examined to know the efficiency of proposed cropping system. In hairy vetch treated plots, heading of minor cereals occurred early. The heading date was earlier by 1 day and 2 days in sorghum and foxtail millet, respectively. However, rye treatment delayed heading by 12 days and 8 days in sorghum and foxtail millet, respectively. Besides he effect of cover crop on ear emergence of crops, the Besides changed growth-related characteristics. Plant height, chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence of sorghum ere increased in hairy vetch treatment by 46.4% 88.7% and 7.9%, respectively. In foxtail millet, the characteristics ere also increased by 45.6%, 50.9% and 37.8%, respectively, s compared to control. Yields of sorghum and foxtail millet were increased by 105.1% and 135% as compared o control by hairy vetch treatment, respectively. However, he yields of cereal crops were decreased by rye cover crop treatment, the yields of sorghum and foxtail millet were decreased by 25.8% and 119.1%, respectively. Rye cover crop treatment inhibited crop growth suggesting nitrogen starvation in rye treated plots. In rye treatment, plant height, chlorophyll contents and chlorophyll fluorescence of sorghum ere slightly decreased by 7.1%, 10.8% and 10.8%, respectively, as compared to control whereas the inhibitory effects were greater in foxtail millet. Weed occurrences based n weed number in hairy vetch and rye plots were reduced n weed number in hairy vetch and rye plots were reduced y 27% and 20%, respectively. The smothering effect was weakened or disappeared after heading of crops. Weed number and dry weight in hairy vetch plot were increased by 159% and 55.2%, respectively, as compared to control. The results implied that weed suppressing of cover crops could be reduced drastically after heading of crops.

피복작물처리에 따른 잡곡의 생육과 잡초발생

본 연구에서는 잡곡 재배 시 가장 문제가 되는 잡초관리방법을 개선하고 피복작물과 잡곡의 작부체계를 개선 및 효율을 비교하기 위하여 피복작물인 헤어리베치와 호밀이 잡곡생육과 수량에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 1. 헤어리베치구에서 수수의 초장과 엽록소 함량, 엽록소 형광, 종실수량은 무처리구 보다 각각 46.4%, 88.7%, 7.9% 높았으며 수량 또한 105.1% 많았다. 조의 경우도 무처리구 보다 각각 45.6%, 50.9%, 37.8%로 초장, 엽록소 함량, 엽록소형광이 높았으며 종실수량도 134.9% 높은 결과를 보였다. 호밀처리구에서 수수의 초장과 엽록소 함량, 엽록소형광은 무처리구 보다 각각 7.1%, 10.8%, 10.8% 높았으나 수량은 25.8% 감소하였다. 조는 무처리구 보다 각각 28.9%, 17.2%, 1.3% 감소하였으며 수량 또한 119.1% 감소하였다. 헤어라베치구에서 잡곡에 대한 녹비 효과가 좋았다. 2. 잡곡 출수 전 헤어리베치와 호밀의 잡초 발생량은 무처리에 비해 감소하였고 건물중은 헤어리베지와 무처리 차이가 없었으나 호밀은 31.6% 감소하여 호밀에서 잡곡 출수 전 잡초억제 효과가 인정되었다. 그러나 출수 후에는 혜어리베치의 장초발생량은 159%, 건물중은 55.2% 증가하였으며 호밀에서는 각각 55.2%, 10.9%로 증가하였다. 따라서 출수 후 헤어리베치와 호밀의 잡초 억제효과는 미약하였다. 3. 발생한 주요 잡초종은 총 16종으로 일년생잡초 12종으로 가장 많은 비중을 차지하였다. 특히 8월~9월의 우점 잡초종으로는 헤어리베치는 바랭이와 돌피였으며, 호밀 처리 시 강아지풀, 바랭이, 돌피 등이 우점하였다.
