To promote the practical use of livestock manure compost (LC) for paddy rice cultivation, the fertilization efficiency of nutrients in LCs was investigated compared to that of chemical fertilizer. This experiment was conducted at rice field in Hwaseong, Korea, with 6 treatments by each of 3 kinds of tested LCs, cattle manure compost (CaC), swine manure compost (SwC) and chicken manure compost (ChC). The treatments consisted of 3 application levels of LCs and 3 chemical fertilizer treatments having the same application levels with LCs. $NH_4$-N content in soil became higher according to the increase in the urea application rate, while it became lower in LC plots than in urea plots, and statistically had no significant difference among LC plots. There was a close relationship between phosphate fertilization rate and the increment of soil available phosphate content after experiment resulting y = 0.1788x - 6.169 ($R^2=0.9425$) when applied fused superphosphate fertilizer, and y = 0.0662x - 2.689 ($R^2=0.9315$) when applied LC at the equivalent rates to phosphate input (x: phosphate application rate, kg $ha^{-1}$, y: increment in soil available phosphate content, mg $kg^{-1}$). And from these two equations, the correlation on the phosphate application rate between fused superphosphate fertilizer and LC could be obtained as y = 2.7056x - 52.492 (x: $P_2O_5$ application rate of fused superphosphate, kg $ha^{-1}$, y: $P_2O_5$ application rate of LC, kg $ha^{-1}$). Plant height, number of tillers, nutrients uptake by rice, and rice yield showed higher levels in N 100% and N 150% application plots of chemical fertilizers, while every LC plots exhibited lower values and no significant difference among them. Relative nitrogen fertilization efficiencies of LCs compared to urea was 12.3% for CaC, 8.8 for SwC and 24.6 for ChC, respectively.

Langmuir adsorption maximum was used as a basis for the estimation of phosphate requirement as related to the application method to a newly reclaimed hilly land. The application rates of phosphate fertilizer were 4 levels corresponding to 5, 10, 20, and 30 percent of the Langmuir adsorption maximum which was determined by the laboratory experiment. The phosphate fertilizer was applied in two different methods of broadcast and band application. Yield of soybean on a newly reclaimed hilly land was greatly affected by the amount of phosphate fertilizer and application method. With the same amount of phosphate fertilizer, the soybean yield in the broadcast was always lower than that in the band application even though the yield in the broadcast increased with the application rate up to the highest level of this experiment. However, the yield in the band application showed steep increase up to 20 percent level and then the yield decreased at the highest level. The yield at the rate of 5 percent with the band application was equal to the yield at the rate of 20 percent with broadcast, and the yield at the rate of 10 percent with band application was higher by 17 percent than that in the highest broadcast rate. When manure was applied at the rate of 1000 kg/10a to the plot of the 10 percent band application, the yield was 14.6 percent higher than the yield of the plot of the 10 percent band application without the manure and was equivalent to the yield of the plot of the 20 percent band application.

Field and pot experiments were carried to find out the effects of direct application of phosphate rock powder on soybean plant in upland soils with different available P content. In newly reclaimed upland soil with extremely low available P, phosphate rock powder was superior to single superphosphate at the application rate of 400kg-600kg/ha, in the first year particularly. In the second year, however, the reverse was the case excepting at the rate of 200kg/ha. In upland soil with low avialble $P_2O_5$($52mg\;kg^{-1}$), the application of phosphate rock powder at the high appliaction rate(400-600kg/ha) increased the yield of soybean remarkably in the first year and there was residual effect in the second year. The application of phosphate rock at high rate, increased the P and Ca contenl of plant and soil. The concentration of all fractions of P in the soil at the harvest was higher in phosphate rock treatments than in single superphosphate and fused magnesium phosphate treatments. In this soil with low avaiable P the occurrence of different fractions of P was in the order of Org-P>Fe-P>Ca-P>Al-P, in the first year and there was no change in the second year.

Soil $NH_4$-N content became higher in proportion to the increase in the urea application rate, while in livestock faeces compost (LFC) plots, it became lower than in urea plots and had no significant difference statistically among LFC plots. There was a close relationship between phosphate fertilization rate and the increment of soil available phosphate content after experiment resulting y=0.1788x-6.169 ($R^2=0.9425$) when applied fused superphosphate fertilizer, and y=0.0662x-2.689 ($R^2=0.9315$) when applied LFCs by the same amounts of phosphate (x: phosphate application, kg $ha^{-1}$, y: increment in soil available phosphate content, mg $kg^{-1}$. Plant height, number of stems, nutrients uptake by rice and rice yield showed higher levels in N 100, 150% application plots of chemical fertilizers, while every LFC plots exhibited lower values and no significant difference among them. Relative nitrogen fertilization efficiencies of LFCs compared to urea was 12.3% for cattle faeces compost (CaFC), 8.8 for swine faeces compost (SwFC) and 24.6 for chicken faeces compost (ChFC), respectively.

In 1986, at Cheju and Seoguipo, a sweet com hybrid, Golden Cross Bantam 70, was grown at 5 phosphate rates (0, 8, 16, 24 and 32 kg/l0a) to determine effects of phosphate rate on growth and yield of sweet com and to recommend the optimum phosphate rate for sweet com production in volcanic ash soils of Cheju province. Days to silking were shortened 1 to 2 days by phosphate application of more than l6kg/10a. Culm length, ear height and fresh stover yield/l0a did not differ between two locations, but linearly increased as phosphate rate was increased from 0 to 32kg/10a. Average length and weight of marketable ears were greater at Cheju than at Seoguipo and linearly increased as phosphate rate increased. The number of marketable ears per plant and per l0a did not differ between two locations, but quadratically increased as phosphate rate increased. The economic optimum phosphate rate estimated on the basis of the quadratic model, ranged 25.6 to 27.4kg/10a at various fertilizer-to-ear price ratios.

This study was conducted to determine the response of main growth characters, yield and chemical composition of Jeju native soybean based on the difference between phosphate rates (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250kg/ha) from May 11 to September 10 in 2002 in Jeju island. Days to flowering was delayed from 92 days to 97 days as the increasing of phosphate rate. Also plant height grew longer from 109cm to 124cm. The number of branches and leaves, stem diameter, root length and weight of root grew powerful as phosphate rate increased from 0 to 250kg/ha. Fresh forage yield was 26.5MT/ha in the nonphosphate plot and then was 36.9MT/ha as phosphate rate increased to 250kg/ha. And the difference between 200kg/ha and 250kg/ha in phosphate rate was not significant. Dry matter, crude protein and TDN yield increased 6.0∼7.9MT/ha, 0.9∼1.4MT/ha and 3.4∼4.9MT/ha respectively, as the increasing of phosphate rate. Also crude protein, crude fat, NFE and TDN content increased 15.5∼18.3%, 2.2∼3.3%, 42.5∼43.5%, and 56.7∼61.9% respectively. In contrast with this, crude fiber and crude ash decreased 32.1∼28.1% and 7.7∼6.8% respectively. To reach the climax of forage yield was estimated optimum phosphate rate to be 200kg/ha.

Cassia mimosoides var. nomame was grown at five phosphate rates (0, 5, 15, 25 and 35 kg/10a) at Cheju in 1998 to determine the influence of phosphate rate on growth, forage yield and quality. As phosphate rate increased from 0 to 35kg/10a, the plant growth was increased such as days to flowering, plant height, the number of branches and green leaves per plant, stem diameter and SPAD (Soil Plant Analysis Development) reading values of leaves but the number of withering leaves per plant decreased. Fresh forage yield was 3, 291kg/10a at 0 kg/10a of phosphate rate and increased 5, 200 and 5, 230 kg/10a at 25 and 35 kg/10a of phosphate level, respectively. Dry matter, crude protein and total digestible nutrients (TDN) showed the same tendency of changes as the fresh forage yield. Crude protein, crude fat, nitrogen free extract and TDN content increased but crude ash and crude fiber content decreased as the increasing of phosphate rate increased.

BACKGROUND: In Korea, green manure has been cultivated for reducing chemical fertilizer application, maintaining soil fertility, and feeding livestock in winter season. We evaluated the phosphate balance under green manure-rice cultivating system with different removal rates of green manure for maintaining soil fertility. METHODS AND RESULTS: The barley and hairy vetch mixture was selected as the green manure in this study. The barley and hairy vetch was sowed at a rate of 135 and 23 kg/ha, respectively, without fertilizer application. Total aboveground biomass was 12000 (barley: 5400 kg/ha, hairy vetch: 6600 kg/ha) kg/ha, and these green manure were incorporated with different input rates before rice planting. The input rates of green manure in this study were 0 (NPK+0%), 25 (NPK+25%), 50 (NPK+50%), 75 (NPK+75%) and 100 % (NPK+100) and the standard fertilization (NPK) without green manure cultivation. All treatments were applied with standard fertilizer (N-P-K: 90-19.6-48.3 kg/ha) before rice planting. The highest rice yield was observed in NPK+50% which was 20% higher compared with NPK. The phosphate balance with different incorporation rates of green manure was-104.0,-76.8,-52.9,-27.4, and 6.0 kg/ha for NPK+0%, NPK+25%, NPK+50%, NPK+75%, and NPK+100%, respectively. CONCLUSION(S): The use of green manure for livestock feeding in green manure-rice cropping systems could remove a huge amount of phosphate. This cropping system strongly requires phosphate application before green manure seeding for maintaining soil fertility.

To observe the effect of fused phosphate fertilization, as a soil improvement material, in low productive paddy field which has rapid permeable sandy-skeletal texture, this experiment was carried out under five different levels of fused phosphate. The results obtained are briefly as follows: 1. Rice, grown in areas receiving annual fused phosphate application of from 200 to 250kg per 10a showed yield increases of about 10 to 27 percent based on 1, 000 grain weight of brown rice. Other favorable effects from high fused phosphate applications include increased number of panicles, faster ripening rate of the rice, and lower infection rate of blast. 2. In the soil analysis after the experiment, the useful soil chemical properties, such as available phosphate, silica, soil pH, exchangeable calcium, magnesium, and base saturation were increased significantly. The exchangeable potassium, however, was not changed noticeably. 3. The relation between the major soil chemical properties, especially available phophate and silica, and yield component which directly effect yields, showed a significant correlation statistically.

This study was carried out investigate to optimum levels of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer to get a higher yield and a quality of an onion(Allium Cepa L.) from 1993 to 1994. Three fertilizer levels were applied with 120, 240 and 360kg/ha of nitrogen and 100, 200 and 300kg/ha of P2O5 during the onion growing season. After harvesting the onion, it was storaged at given deposit. The growth and yield of the onion were better at the fertilizer levels of both 240 and 360kg/ha of nitrogen and of both 200 and 300kg/ha of P2O5 than at the level of 120kg/ha in nitrogen and 100kg/ha of P2O5. The content of total nitrogen and P2O5 in plant was decreased with reduced application levels of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer. The rotting rate was higher at the levels of both 360kg/ha in nitrogen and 300kg/ha in P2O5 than the other treatment during the storage period. The sprouting rate tended to be high at 240kg/ha of nitrogen and 100kg/ha of P2O5.
