이상의 연구를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 시비량의 계산식에 의해 계산된 실제 비료의 투입예정량은 균일시비구획은 86.74kg, 변량 시비구획은 80.84kg이였고, 실제 변량시비구획에 살포된 비료의 양은 68.76kg로서 투입 예상량의 -14.94%로 나타났다. 2. 실제 투입된 비료의 양이 적은 것은 74번에서 78번사이의 구획에서 호퍼의 출구에 덩어리진 비료에 의해 막혀 비료가 살포되지 않았던 것과 28번 구획에서 호퍼안의 비료가 바닥나서 비료가 살포되지 않았던 것이 주된 원인으로 확인되었다. 3. 벼의 질소보유량으로 계산된 예상 시비량과 실제 모터의 회전수에 의해 계산된 실제 시비량과의 관계는 Y=-0.063+0.912X라는 회기직선으로 나타났고, r값은 0.965로서 변량살포 작업은 74번∼78번, 28번 구획을 제외하고는 잘 된 것으로 평가되었다. 4. 수확량과 CV값은 전 구획에서 7.04t/ha, 7.71%로서 균일시비구획에서는 7.13t/ha, 4.84%, 변량시비구획에서는 6.96t/ha, 9.77%로 나타났다. 변량시비구획에서 수확량이 적고 CV값이 크게 나타난 이유는 x9구획의 생육상태가 좋지 않았기 때문이며 변량시비구획에서 x9구획의 데이터를 제외한 결과는 수확량이 7.16t/ha, CV값은 7.91%로 나타났다. 5. 변량시비를 적용하여 시비량을 15% 줄이더라도 수확량에는 커다란 변동이 없다는 것을 확인할 수 있었고 좀더 정확한 생육진단과 관리가 이루어진다면 각 구획에서 수확량의 변동을 줄이는 것이 가능하리라 생각한다.

In this study, we evaluated the uniformity of deposition rate and particle size distributions of the variable rate application technique using the unmanned rotorcraft by measuring the spray pattern according to path location in the range of spraying flight. The coefficient of variation (CV) of the lateral coverage rate for the overlapped distribution with the spray swath of 3.6 m in both guidance and auto-pilot flight modes maintaining constant flight speed was about 30% and the CV of the coverage rate by the flight path location was extremely small. Therefore, it was assessed that the variable rate application technology compensating for the variation of ground speed was superior in terms of spray uniformity. In addition, the droplet size distributions in both volume median diameter(VMD) and number median diameter(NMD) were adequate for aerial application and uniform in terms of lateral distribution. Thereafter, we intend to contribute to a precise application on small-scaled fields using the unmanned agricultural rotorcraft by the variable rate application.

Precision farming has been known as an environment friendly farming technology. This study was conducted to develop a variable-rate granule fertilizer applicator as an attempt for introducing the precision farming technologies to rice cultivation in Korea. In this paper, concept design process and manufacturing of prototype variable rate granule applicator was reported. For concept design, some design guide lines were selected. Based on the design guide line and some engineering knowledge, concept design was conducted. The designed prototype granule applicator was mounted at the rear of riding type cultivator for paddy field and had a 10m wide boom structure with pneumatic conveying and application system as well as 1GPS receiver, 1 granule hopper, 12 blow heads, 2 metering devices and 1 controller. The fertilizer applicator had 942 ka of weight, 740m of ground clearance and 1,117mm of center of gravity from the ground. The applicator was designed to be able to $34{\sim}428kg/ha$ of granule at $0.2{\sim}0.8m/s$ of fertilizer working speed.

In precision farming, proper calibration and operation of a variable rate machine are critical to reduce input of agrochemicals and to ensure productivity and quality of agricultural products. As an effort to introduce precision farming to rice production in Korea, a pneumatic granular applicator was developed. This investigation intended to evaluate the application performance such as application accuracy, application uniformity and to suggest how to adjust the blow-heads to get uniform application pattern, and to suggest a practical way of adjustment of the blow-heads for uniform application. Tests to evaluate the application performance were conducted. The application uniformities (CV) in both transverse direction and longitudinal direction were less than 15% and application accuracy was greater than 81%. A simple method for adjusting the inserting length of blow-heads was suggested.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of site-specific variable fertilization following digital fertility map generated from soil analysis on rice growth and yield. The site-specific application of fertilizer was implemented by using rice transplanter equipped with side dressing applicator and global positioning system (GPS). Coefficient of variation (C.V.) of soil nitrogen content was reduced after the experiment, and spatial variation of semivariogram was reduced. Rice growth from tillering to ripening stage, plant height, tiller and panicle number increased at site-specific variable fertilization treatment, and coefficient variation (C.V.) of each growth characteristics was lower than those of conventional fertilization treatment. As a result, fertility in the rice field was more uniform become of site-specific fertilizer application. Head rice yield of site-specific application plot increased by 9% (i.e., to from 450 kg/10a to 492 kg/10a of the control plot) and its CV was significantly reduced to 3.5 compared to 7.8 of the control plot. In addition, there was no significant difference in amylose, protein contents and whiteness of milled rice, but its CV was reduced.
