Red lateritic soils are typically low in total organic carbon (TOC) and available phosphorus (AP) content and continuous fertilization is required to obtain desired crop yield. In this experiment, cattle manure in three forms (air-dried, composted and vermicomposted) were applied to red lateritic soil to study their effect on TOC and AP content of soil and probable mechanism of P-solubilization as affected by these treatments were also studied. Vermicompost was the most effective to solubilize insoluble P in red lateritic soil (Alfisols) as compared to other organic amendments (air-dried cattle manure and compost). The highest SPA in vermicompost-treated soil attributed to the comparatively higher concentration of all the three SPA isozymes in these soils. The maximum P-solubilization in these soils might be attributed to the highest SPA and presence of several organic acids like citric, lactic and oxalic acids in vermicompost-treated soils. Since, vermicompost application also increased TOC, mineralizable N and exchangeable K content of soil, vermicompost could be considered as the most rational organic amendment to improve chemical properties of red lateritic soils.

This study was conducted to understand the dynamics of microbial communities of soil microorganisms, and their distribution and abundance in the indigenous microorganisms (IMOs) manipulated from humus collected from the forest near the crop field. The soil microorganisms originated from humus and artificially cultured microbial-based soil amendments were characterized by molecular and biochemical analyses. The bacterial population (2 × 10⁶~13 × 10⁶ CFU/g sample) was approximately 100-fold abundant than the fungal population (2 × 10⁴~8 × 10⁴ CFU/g sample). The 16S rDNA and ITS sequence analyses showed that the bacterial and fungal communities in humus and IMOs were mainly composed of Bacillus and Pseudomonas, and Trichoderma and Aspergillus species, respectively. Some of the bacterial isolates from the humus and IMOs showed strong inhibitory activity against soil-borne pathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. These bacteria also showed the siderophore production activity as well as phosphate solubilizing activity, which are requisite traits for biological control of plant pathogenic fungi. These results suggest that humus and IMOs could be a useful resource for sustainable agriculture.

토양에 적용된 안정화공법은 대조구에 비해 높은 수준의 안정화 효율성을 나타냈으며, 안정화 후 유효태 중금속함량의 경우 적용된 추출기법에 따라 많은 차이가 있는 것으로 평가되었다. 그렇지만, 토양의 안정화는 평가기법별로 농도의 차이는 있지만 식물 유효태를 감소시킬 수 있다는 결론을 얻었다. 농작물로의 전이량은 0.1 M HCl, 5 mM DTPA와 분획화 시험법이 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 하지만 토양의 특성이 고려되지 않고 단지 중금속의 농도만을 고려한 시험이었기에 향후 다양한 토양의 이화학적 인자값을 평가하여 심도 깊은 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 경사도 20%의 강원도 경작지 실험포장(가로 3 m${\times}$세로 18 m)을 대상으로 자연강우 조건하에서 폴리머 기반 토양개량제인 polyacrylamide (PAM) 및 바이오폴리머의 처리가 토양유실 및 작물의 생장에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 40 kg/ha PAM 및 바이오폴리머 처리시 토양입단 안정도는 대조구에 비해 최대 11% 증가하였다. 생육조사 결과 폴리머 처리에 따라 무(Raphanus sativus)의 엽장은 증가하였으나 수확량의 경우 유의적인 차이를 나타내지는 않았다(P>0.05). 토양유실의 경우 폴리머 기반 토양개량제 처리시 토양유실량이 최대 41% 감소하였으나 유거수량에는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 또한 토양유실량은 강우강도의 증가에 따라 대수관계($R^2=0.85$)로 증가함을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 피복이 완전치 못한 경사지 경작지에 대한 폴리머 기반 토양개량제 시용은 토양유실 저감에 효과적이며 작물생육 촉진 및 토양질 향상에도 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Soil health can deteriorate through both contamination and remediation. Accordingly, revitalization processes are needed to reuse or recycle the remediated soil. The study was conducted to assess the changes in soil health parameters of heavy metals-contaminated soil during soil washing process. In addition, unit processes were proposed to improve the quality of the remediated soil relevant to its reclamation purposes, such as agricultural and forest lands. A total of 21 indicators were used to determine whether the soil health was degraded or recovered. The performance of 6 amendments in improving soil health was quantitatively evaluated according to their dosage and application duration. Finally, the experimental results were assessed by simple regression analyses to determine the statistical significance and relative performance of each amendment. The results indicated that 18 health indicators out of 21 deteriorated through the soil washing process. Based on the results, it is recommended that several effective amendments be complementarily combined and applied in real applications because use of single amendment does not likely improve the quality of remediated soils.

다비작물이면서 재배기간이 긴 고추 재배지에서 당년의 효과를 기대하고 시용되는 유기물은 각 지역마다 사용되는 종류가 다양함으로 이들이 토양 미생물 상에 미치는 효과를 검토할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라에서 쉽게 구할 수 있는 수피, 우분, 왕겨, 볏짚과 이것으로 만든 퇴비가 토양의 화학적 미생물적 특성에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 퇴비가 pH를 포함한 토양 화학적 특성 변화에 가장 효과적이었고 수피는 유기물 증가에 기여하였다. 인지질 지방산의 토양 생물학적 지표 분석에서 퇴비는 방선균과 균근균 밀도 증가에 효과적이었으며, y19:0/18:1w7c와 단불포화/포화 지방산의 비율도 증가시켰다. 수피는 곰팡이 밀도 증가에 효과적이었고, 왕겨와 볏짚은 퇴비와 수피 만큼의 토양 미생물상 군락에 미치는 효과는 적었으나 왕겨가 볏짚 보다 컸다. 그리고 전체 미생물 상을 관찰하기 위하여 PLFA와 Biolog EcoPlate 성적을 주요인 분석으로 살펴 본 결과 수피가 두 가지 방법 모두에서 다른 처리 특히 퇴비 처리구와는 구별 되는 미생물 군을 형성함을 보여주었다. 따라서퇴비와 수피가 토양의 화학적 특성과 미생물상 변화에 가장 큰 영향을 미쳤고, 특히 토양 미생물상에 미치는 두 유기 토양 개량제의 영향은 방향이 크게 다르므로 신선 수피의 토양 개량제로의 이용은 더 많은검토가 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the growth of Dendranthema zawadskii in damaged soils when they are treated with improvement agents. The treatments consisted of a control (unamended field soil) and the application of a loess ball of 1 cm to the field soil. According to the degree of damage the de-icing agent had caused, the soils were divided into 3 areas (based on the yellowing of Pinus densiflora for. multicaulis in soil surveys): H (high saline), M (medium saline), and L (low saline). A total of six treatments were performed: D. zawadskiia plant without soil amendment (H; high saline soil, M; medium saline soil, L; low saline soil), and a D. zawadskiia plant with loess ball on the soil surface (H.L; high saline soil with loess ball, M.L; medium saline soil with loess ball, L.L; low saline soil with loess ball). The results showed that D. zawadskiia growth went from highest to lowest in the order: M.L > L.L > M > L > H.L > H. Plant growth results showed that soils treated with soil amendments (loess ball) were better for D. zawadskii growth than untreated soils.

BACKGROUND: Soil amendment was necessary applied for the sand that had been used to root zone of green ground in golf course because of its low water retention power and cation exchangeable capacity. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the mixed ratio of peat moss and coconut coir as soil amendment materials on the soil physicochemical properties applied to rootzone based on sand. METHODS AND RESULTS: The soil amendments were blended at 0, 3, 5, 7 and 10% by soil volume. The pH in the peat moss treatment was lower than that of control (0% soil amendment), and pH and electrical conductivity (EC) in the coconut coir were higher. The blending ratio of peat moss was negatively correlated with pH of rootzone soil (p<0.01), and that of coconut coir positively with EC (p<0.01). As compared with control, capillary porosity, the physical factors such as air-filled porosity, total porosity, and hydraulic conductivity of rootzone soil were increased by applying peat moss and coconut coir. For correlation coefficients between percentage of soil amendments and soil physical factors, peat moss and coconut coir were positively correlated with porosity and hydraulic conductivity (p<0.01). CONCLUSION(S): These results indicated that the application of peat moss and coconut coir affected on the change of physicochemical properties of rootzone soil, and improved soil porosity and hydraulic conductivity.

Soil acidification challenges global food security by adversely influences soil fertility and agricultural productivity. Carbonized agricultural residues present a sustainable and ecofriendly way to recycle agricultural waste and mitigate soil acidification. We evaluated the effects of organic amendments on lettuce growth and soil chemical properties in two soils with different pH levels. Carbonized rice husk was produced at 600℃ for 30 min and rice husk was treated at 1% (w·w^-1). Carbonized rice husk increased soil pH, electrical conductivity, total carbon content, and nitrogen content compared with untreated and rice husk treatments. Furthermore, this study found that lettuce growth positively correlated with soil pH, with increasing soil pH up to pH 6.34 resulting in improved lettuce growth parameters. Statistical correlation analysis also supported the relationship between soil pH and lettuce growth parameters. The study findings showed that the use of carbonized rice husk increased the constituent elements of lettuce, such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphate content. The potassium content of lettuce followed a similar trend; however, was higher in acidic soil than that in non-acidic soil. Therefore, improving the pH of acidic soil is essential to enhance agricultural productivity. It is considered advantageous to use agricultural residues following pyrolysis to improve soil pH and agricultural productivity.

Series of field experiments were conducted to evaluate the long term effect of gypsum and crop residue on crop yield and soil health in rice-wheat crop rotation system in salt affected soil. A saline-sodic field having $EC_e$ (electrical conductivity of the saturation extract) 4.77 ($dSm^{-1}$); pH ($H_2O$) 8.96; SAR 43.78 ($mmol\;L^{-1}$) and gypsum requirement (G.R.) 2.86 (Mg $acre^{-1}$) was selected on Soil Salinity Research Institute Farm. Five treatments consisting of ($T_1$) control, ($T_2$) gypsum at 100% G.R., ($T_3$) gypsum at 25% G.R. + wheat straw at $3Mg\;ha^{-1}$, ($T_4$) gypsum at 25% G.R. + rice straw at $3Mg\;ha^{-1}$, ($T_5$) gypsum at 25% G.R.+ rice and wheat straw at $3Mg\;ha^{-1}$ were replicated four times under completely randomized block design. The data indicated that grain and straw yield of rice and wheat was significantly (P<0.05) increased by all the amendments used either single or in combination. $T_2$ (gypsum at 100% G.R.) significantly (P<0.05) increased grain and straw yield of rice and wheat crops followed by $T_3$ (gypsum at 25% G.R. + wheat straw at $3Mg\;ha^{-1}$) when compared with control. Soil properties were also improved by used amendments, pronounced decreased in $EC_e$, $pH_s$ and SAR were recorded in $T_2$ followed by $T_3$. The efficiency of the treatments could be arranged in following order gypsum at 100% G.R.> gypsum at 25% G.R. + wheat straw at $3Mg\;ha^{-1}$ > gypsum at 25% G.R. + rice and wheat straw at $3Mg\;ha^{-1}$ > gypsum at 25% G.R. + rice straw at $3Mg\;ha^{-1}$ > control.
