Physico-Chemical Properties of Paddy Soil and Actual Farming Conditions in Gyehwa Reclaimed Tidal Land

In order to establish the fertilization and soil management method in Gyehwa reclaimed tidal land, we investigated soil property and actual farming condition. Soil properties of 100 field paddy soil and farming surveys of 177 farm households were conducted. Average of effective soil depth was 17.8 cm, which was very smaller than the optimum level 50 cm. The hardness and bulk density of subsoil were $12.40kg\;cm^{-2}$ and $1.59g\;cm^{-3}$, respectively. These results showed that soil physical condition of Gyehwa reclaimed tidal land was very poor. Soil salinity ranged from 0.03 to 0.12%, and average of pH was 6.0, which implied that desalinization of Gyehwa reclaimed tidal land was progressed. However, soil nutrients in Gyehwa reclaimed tidal land were very unbalanced conditions as following, available phosphate $58mg\;kg^{-1}$, available silicate $85mg\;kg^{-1}$, cation exchangeable capacity $7.4cmolc\;kg^{-1}$ and organic matter $8.6g\;kg^{-1}$. On the farm household in Gyehwa reclaimed tidal land, fertilization amounts were $200-54-61(N-P_2O_5-K_2O)kg\;ha^{-1}$ They mainly practiced spring tillage(84%) rather than autumn tillage(16%), and only 14% of them applied rice straw annually in the paddy soil.

계화간척지 논토양의 물리화학적 특성 및 영농실태

계화간척지의 간척지구별 숙답화에 따른 토양특성을 구명하여 시비 및 토양관리계획을 수립하고자 논토양 100필지의 토양특성과 177농가에 대한 영농설문을 조사 분석한 결과 유효토심은 17.8 cm로 적정값(50 cm 이상)에 비하여 크게 미달되었으며 특히 심토의 경우 토양경도 $12.40kg\;cm^{-2}$, 용적밀도 $1.59g\;cm^{-3}$ 로 매우 높아 토양의 물리성이 불량하였다. 토양의 염농도는 0.03~0.12%로 거의 제염이 되었으며, 작토의 pH는 6.0, 유기물함량은 $8.6g\;kg^{-1}$, 유효 인산 및 규산은 각각 58과 $85mg\;kg^{-1}$, CEC는 $7.4cmol\;kg^{-1}$, ESP는 10.3%로 나타나 토양 중 양분의 불균형 현상이 나타났다. 또한 계화간척지 논에서 벼재배시 농가의 시비량($N-P_2O_5-K_2O$, kg $ha^{-1}$)은 200-54-61이었으며 경운시기는 84%가 춘경을 하였으며 벼 재배 시 볏짚을 매년 시용하는 농가는 14%에 불과하였다.
