Soil amendments have been used to improve the physical and chemical condition of turf soil, which might optimize turfgrass growth in golf courses. This study was to investigate the effect of inorganic soil amendment (ZC) established in USGA root zone system on growth of creeping bentgrass, cv. 'Penncross' carried out from May to Dec. in 2005 at the nursery on Sinwon Golf Course. To analyze the effects of inorganic soil amendment on pH, specific gravity, infiltration rate, water content, soil hardness, root length, tiller density and dry weight were measured. pH was 6.7-6.8, specific gravity of sand (S) 100% was 1.48 heavier than the other treatments (1.28-1.38). Infiltration rate with ZC 15% + peat moss (P) 5% + S 80% and ZC 10% + S 90% was faster than S 100%. Soil hardness of S 100% was the highest. Root length of creeping bentgrass of P 10% + S 90% (8.6-12.0 cm) was the longest. Tiller density with P 5% + S 95% was more 4-7 ea than other treatments in summer season. In growing season, however, ZC 10% + P 5% + S 85% was more 2-3 ea than others. Dry weight of creeping bentgrass treated by ZC 10% + P 5% + S 85% in summer season and P 5% + S 95% in growing season were heavier than other treatments. It is recommended to combine 5-15% inorganic soil amendment and peat moss 5% with sand in order to sustain soil balance.

This study was conducted to evaluate short-term effects on soil properties and leaf characteristics after various treatments of soil amendments (organic fertilizer: 20 kg tree-1; compound fertilizer+wood-char: compound fertilizer 4 kg tree-1+wood-char 2 kg tree-1; lime fertilizer: 3 kg tree-1; mixed fertilizer: compound fertilizer 1 kg tree-1+organic fertilizer 10 kg tree-1+wood-char 1 kg tree-1; control) in chestnut (Castanea crenata S. et Z.) orchards of Jinju and Sancheong, Gyeongsangnam-do. Soil bulk density, soil pH, soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, exchangeable Ca2+ and Mg2+ in chestnut orchards were not significantly affected by soil amendment treatments. However, leaf weight was significantly higher in the lime fertilizer ($0.65\;g\;leaf^{-1}$) in Jinju and the organic fertilizer ($0.68\;g\;leaf^{-1}$) in Sancheong than in the control treatments (Jinju: $0.46\;g\;leaf^{-1}$; Sancheong: $0.53\;g\;leaf^{-1}$). Leaf area was also significantly higher in the lime fertilizer ($79.1\;cm^2\;leaf^{-1}$) in Jinju and the soil amendments ($70.4\;cm^2\;leaf^{-1}{\sim}78.2\;cm^2\;leaf^{-1}$) in Sancheong than in the control treatments (Jinju: $56.2\;cm^2\;leaf^{-1}$; Sancheong: $60.5\;cm^2\;leaf^{-1}$). Nitrogen concentration of leaf increased significantly in the mixed fertilizer (2.51%) and the compound fertilizer+wood-char (2.50%) compared with the control (1.98%) treatments. The results suggest that soil properties were not affected by soil amendment treatments during short-term period, but leaf characteristics and nitrogen concentration can be an indicator of soil nutrient improvements in chestnut orchards.

Effects of nitrogen containing herbicides, Asulam(methyl-(4-aminobenzenesulphonyl)-carbamate), dimetametryne (2-methyl-4-ethylamino-6-(1,2-dimethyl propylamino)-S-triazine) and linuron (3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-metoxy-1-methyl urea) at rates of 0.5,2,4 mg/100g soil on urease activity were studied in urea added and unadded soil by incubating at $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for 80 days. The enzyme activity was somewhat suppressed by asulam and dimetametryne in soils treated with urea. Unlike the above results, the enzyme activity in soil treated with linuron was kept higher as compared with that in soil treated with urea only.

제주도의 감자재배면적은 전국의 30.6%를 차지하고 있으며 본도 제2의 소득작물로 자리잡고 있는데 최근 국내외적으로 친환경농산물에 대한 관심이 고조됨에 따라 안전농산물에 대한 수요가 늘면서 유기농업자제를 이용한 고품질 안전 농산물을 생산하려는 시도가 늘어가고 있다. 이런 관점에서, 키토산을 \circled1토양처리 (1kg/a), \circled2키토산침지 (0.2%/30분), \circled3토양처 리＋생육기처리 100배 (2회), \circled4토양처리＋생육기처리 200배 (2회), \circled5생육기처리 100배 (2회), \circled6생육기처리＋200배 (2회), \circled7무처리로 구분하여 시험하였다. 발아율은 대조구에 비해서 종서침지, 토양관주＋생육기 200배처리, 생육기 200배처리한 것이 다소 높은 편이었고, 경장 경수 및 복지수는 시일이 경과할수록 많은 편이고 그 중에서 종서침지가 가장 양호한 편이었다. 그리고 10a당 총수량, 상서수량 및 설서수량(30g이하인 괴경)은 역시 종서침지, 토양관주＋생육기 200배 (2회)처리 및 토양관주＋생육기 100배처리 순서로 상서수량이 많은 편이었다. 처리별 상서수량은 종서침지한 것이 71%, 29%로 가장 많았고 토양관주＋생육기 100배처리한 것이 대조구보다 많은 경향이었다(Table 1).

In this study, electrokinetic remediation tests were performed with spiked fine-grained soil by phenanthrene which is representative hydrophobic organic contaminant of petroleum hydrocarbon. And also, the enhanced method was used with surfactant concentration variation and elapsed time to achieve more higher removal efficiency than conventional electrokinetic treatment. In conventional electrokinetic treatment, most phenanthrene was not transported. But, in the enhanced method used by the surfactant, phenanthrene moved form anode to cathode region and accumulated in cathode region. Also, the transportation rate of phenanthrene was increased with surfactant concentration increasement and elapsed time.

The effects of some soil conditions on the degradation rate and decomposing pattern of parathion were investigated and the obtained results are summarized as follows: Parathion degraded more rapidly in flooded soils than in non-flooded, in wet soils than in dry soils under non-flooded soils. The degradation rates in paddy and upland soils increased at high temperature than low temperature, higher pesticide concentration than low concentration and higher soil pH level. Parathion in paddy and upland soils was more persistent under soil sterilization than under non-sterilization and degraded rapidly in glucose application. Parathion was more persistent in upland soils than paddy soils under several factors described above. The metabolites identified from the paddy and upland soils by TLC include para-oxon (Rf 0.5), aminoparathion(Rf 0.27), p-nitrophenol(Rf 0.2), p-aminophenol(Rf 0.15). Soil enzyme, acid phosphatase activities decreased more at flooded soils than non-flooded, higher pesticide concentration than low concentration and higher soil pH level and the activity in glucose application was increased. Soil enzymes, urease and dehydrogenase activity decreased more at higher pesticide concentration than low concentration. Comparing with soil enzyme activity in paddy and upland soil, the former was higher than the latter.

This study is conducted to evaluate the effects of chelating agents for improving plant growth and reusing accumulated nutrients in soils of plastic film house. Two experiments were carried out at follows: i) The incubation test was conducted using soils treated with 0, 300 mM of EDTA and DTPA to examine the availability of nutrients. ii) For the pot test, chinese cabbages were cultivated in soils with 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1, and 5 mM of EDTA and DTPA to examine the impacts of plant growth response. The application of chelating agents increased ther availability of soil nutrients in the following order: DTPA > EDTA > control. Inorganic concentration of chinese cabbages in DTPA treatments consderably increased in nitrogen, phosphate, iron and aluminium contents than that of the other treatments. The optimal concentration of DTPA for vigorous plant growth as 0.5 mM. Thus, DTPA was more effective than other chelating agents for healty growth of cabbages and the availability of nutrients accumulated in plastic film house.

The purpose of this study was to develop soil conditioner using wood decay fungus. The effect of soil conditioner treated with SJ-28 fungus was tested by lettuce cultivation. Cultivating efficiency was investigated by the yield of lettuce. In the plot of soil conditioner treated with SJ-28 fungus (FPG) showed weight of lettuce leaves 4425 g of total yield which was greater than 2434 g shown in the control. Also the numbers of actinomyces and fungi were increased in the plot of soil conditioner treated with SJ-28 fungus (FPG), beneficial for soil. The number of bacteria showed decrease in FPG plot. FPG showed possibility as a soil conditioner.
