The adaptabilities of various nitrohumates (-K, -Na and $-NH_4$ salt) as a soil conditioner and a raw material for soluble phosphatic fertilizer were studied. 1. Nitrohumates (especially $-NH_4$ salt) protect the soil from fissures and control the phosphoric acid adsorptive functions of soils considerably. 2. Most effective nitrohumic acids as a soil conditioner were prepared with 15% $HNO_3$ solution composed of five times of original humic acids (by weight) at $80^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs under continuous stirring. 3. When 50% (by weight) of $NH_4$-nitrohumate were added to apatites in water and boiled for 2 hrs, maximum 26% of $P_2O_5$(apatite contains 37% of $P_2O_5$) were changed into water soluble forms.

폐 염전 매립지를 활용한 골프코스 조성에 있어서 중요한 것은 고농도의 염이 식물 생육의 제한 요인으로 작용한다는 것이다. 높은 농도의 염류를 조절하는 것이 필수적이며, 건설 부지의 토양을 개량하기 위해서는 토양 및 지하수 내 염 농도에 대한 체계적인 지표를 필요로 한다. 이에 본 연구는 지하수위에 따른 pH 및 염 농도의 변화를 조사하였다. 이는 골프코스 조성 시 지반공사를 위한 기초자료가 될 뿐만 아니라 공사 후 식재지반의 효율적이고 합리적인 관리에도 유익한 자료가 될 것으로 사료된다. 대상지역의 토양 물리 화학성 분석 결과, 건설부지 내 토양의 대부분은 염분 함량이 높고 약 알칼리성의 식토(clay soil)로 분류되었다. 지하수 수위변화는 갈수기(6월 중 하순), 장마기(2006년 7월 초 중순), 장마후기(7월 말)로 측정 시기를 구분한 결과 1.3m, 3.3m 및 2.8m로 장마기 지하수위는 평균 지면높이 2.9m에 비해 약 0.4m 높은 것으로 측정되었다. 전기전도도의 변화를 측정한 결과 갈수기에는 전체 측정지역에서 $4.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ 이상으로 측정되었고, 지역에 따라서 $20dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ 이상으로 나타났다. 장마기 ECe 측정간은 $1.2{\sim}15.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$로 갈수기에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 EC값을 나타냈다. 따라서 폐 염전 매립지를 이용한 골프코스 조성에 있어 고농도의 염을 함유한 지하수와 식재지반과의 모세관 연결을 차단시키는 것이 중요하다. 이를 실현하기 위하여는 최고 지하수위 보다 높은 지점에 차단층(자갈층)을 포설한 후 식재층을 포설하여 토양 내 모세관 작용을 차단함으로써 염성분의 식재지반으로 이동을 차단한다면 염해에 의한 식물생육의 장애를 방지할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 임해매립지에 식재된 조경수목의 피해도와 식재환경으로서 그 영향요인을 분석하고자 하였다. 중부권역과 남부권역의 8개 임해매립지에 식재된 총 42종 1,233주의 수목피해도와 총 6수종 130주의 가지길이 생장량을 조사하였고, 토양의 염분함량, 토양경도, 토양산도, 배수시설 설치여부 등의 토양환경 요인과 해안으로부터의 이격거리 등 임해매립지에서의 식재 환경요인을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 상록침엽수종의 평균 피해도는 32%로 낙엽수종의 평균 피해도 52%보다 낮았다. 피해도가 낮은 수종은 해송, 섬잣나무, 가이즈까 향나무, 아왜나무, 동백나무, 후박나무 등이었고, 피해도가 높은 수종은 단풍나무, 목련, 배롱나무, 감나무, 계수나무, 마가목, 왕벚나무, 소나무, 모과나무, 자귀나무, 느티나무 등이었다. 임해매립지 식재수목의 피해는 토양염분의 영향보다는 강한 해풍, 높은 토양경도, 척박한 토양의 영향이 큰 것으로 판단된다. 수목이 피해를 받는 토양 염분농도 0.03% 이하를 유지하기 위해서는 갯벌토양에서 뿌리 분가지 최소 1.7m의 성토가 필요한 것으로 분석되었으며. 토심 77cm가지 뿌리가 뻗어있는 것으로 조사된 근권층의 토양경도는 4.Skg/㎥로 높았다. 토양산도도 총 25개 시료 중 22개 시료가 pH 3.72~5.85의 산성토양으로 분석되었다. 동일 수종의 경우, 해안에서 이격거리가 큰 경우, 배수시설이 설치되어 있는 경우에 그 피해도가 낮게 나타났다.

Background and objective: Calcium chloride (CaCl₂) and sodium chloride (NaCl) are commonly used as a deicing agent in South Korea and penetrate the soil on the roadside, causing damage to plants. This study was conducted to investigate the salinity reduction effect of Pennisetum alopecuroides and the chemical characteristics of soil leachate. Methods: The plants were treated with five different concentrations of CaCl₂ (0, 1, 2, 5, and 10g·L^-1) and were grouped into the Cont., C1, C2, C5, and C10 groups. CaCl₂ of 200 m·L^-1 was sprayed to each plant once every two weeks. The growth of P. alopecuroides (plant height, leaf length, leaf width and the number of leaves) was measured. The level of EC and pH, and exchangeable cations (K⁺, Ca²⁺, Na⁺, and Mg²⁺) in the leachate of soil was monitored. Results: The pH of soil leachate decreased as the CaCl₂ concentration increased, and the EC increased significantly. The content of K⁺ did not change significantly until the concentration of CaCl₂ reached 5 g·L^-1, but the content of Ca²⁺, Na⁺, and Mg²⁺ significantly increased. The plant height, leaf length, and leaf width of P. alopecuroides showed the highest value in CaCl₂ 1 g·L^-1 followed by CaCl₂ 2 g·L^-1 and the control group. Root fresh weight was the highest in CaCl₂ 2 g·L^-1. On the other hand, there was no change in the shoot fresh weight, dry weight and root dry weight, and P. alopecuroides growth inhibition at the concentration of 5 g·L^-1 or higher in the plant height and leaf length. Conclusion: P. alopecuroides is relatively highly salt-tolerant and can improve the salt damaged soil by lowering the content of the salt-based exchangeable K⁺ ions.

Natural degradation of grounding-electrode in soil environment should be monitored for several decades to predict the lifetime of the grounding electrode for efficient application and management. However, long-term studies for such electrodes have many practical limitations. The conventional accelerated corrosion test is unsuitable for such studies because simulated soil corrosion process cannot represent the actual soil environment. A preliminary experiment of accelerated corrosion test was conducted using existing test standards. The accelerated corrosion test that reflects the actual soil environment has been developed to evaluate corrosion performances of grounding-electrodes in a short period. Several test conditions with different chamber temperatures and salt spray were used to imitate actual field conditions based on ASTM B162, ASTM B117, and ISO 14993 standards. Accelerated degradation specimens of copper-bonded electrodes were made by the facile method and their corrosion performances were investigated. Their corrosion rates were calculated to $0.042{\mu}m/day$, $0.316{\mu}m/day$, and $0.11{\mu}m/day$, respectively. These results indicate that accelerated deterioration of grounding materials can be determined in a short period by using cyclic test condition with salt spray temperature of $50^{\circ}C$.

BACKGROUND: The salt in soil interrupts crop growth. Therefore, water resources are used to remove any salt found in the soil. However, water resources have been reduced by global warming; thus, a new study is required into reducing the salt in soil. Recently, the bottom ash (BA) of a biomass power plant was found to be similar to biochar. Hence, it can be used to remove heavy metals and wastewater through the adsorption characteristics of BA. The objective of this study was to evaluate the improvement effects on crop growth in saline soil containing the BA from biomass power plants. METHODS AND RESULTS: The effect on crop growth in the saline soil supplemented with BA was studied with the crop-planted pots, which were packed by reclaimed greenhouse soils collected from Byolyang, Suncheon. The BA application level was 25, 50, 100, 200, and 400 kg/10a (referred as BA25, BA50, BA100, BA200, and BA400, respectively). The BA increased the fresh weights of the leaf and root, while nitrogen uptake increased by approximately 24-102% and 54-77%, respectively for the lead and root. The phosphorous uptake increased by 38%, although only in the leaf of the lettuce. In the case of soil, BA increased water content, pH, EC, CEC, and NH₄⁺ and the SAR of the soil decreased by 5-15%. The bottom ash increased the contents of Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺, and fixed the amount of Na⁺. CONCLUSION(S): It was confirmed the bottom ash of a biomass power plant, based on wood pellets, improved crop growth, and increased the nutrient uptake of crops in saline soil. In addition, bottom ash, which has a wide range of porosity and high values of pH and EC, improved properties of the saline soil. However, the BA has a large amount of B, As, and heavy metals. Finally, it may require a study on the safety and contamination of heavy metals contained in the bottom ash, which would be applied in soil for a long time.

Under a typical Mediterranean environment in southern Australia, the evaporation rate increases significantly in hot summers, resulting in highly saline drinking water for grazing animals. Also in the cropping areas, dryland salinity is a problem. Grazing animals under these environments can ingest excessive amount of salt from feed, drinking water and soil, which can lead to a reduction in growth rate. To understand the impact of high salt intake on grazing deer, two experiments were conducted to assess the effect of salt levels in drinking water on feed intake and growth rate of red and fallow weaner deer. The results revealed that fallow deer did not show any abnormal behaviour or sickness when salt level in drinking water was increased from 0% to 2.5%. Feed intake was not affected until the salt content in water exceeded 1.5%. Body weight gain was not affected by 1.2% salt in drinking water, but was reduced as salt content in water increased. Compared with deer on fresh water, the feed intake of red deer on saline water was 11-13% lower when salt level in drinking water was 0.4-0.8%. An increase in salt level in water up to 1% resulted in about a 30% reduction in feed intake (p<0.01). Body weight gain was significantly (p=0.004) reduced when salt level reached 1.2%. The deer on 1% salt tended to have a higher (p=0.052) osmotic pressure in serum. The concentration of P, K, Mg and S in serum was affected when salt level in water was over 1.0%. The results suggested that the salt level in drinking water should be lower than 1.2% for fallow weaner deer and 0.8% for red weaner deer to avoid any reduction in feed intake. Deer farmers need to regularly test the salt levels in drinking water on their farms to ensure that the salt intake of grazing deer is not over the levels that deer can tolerate.

Food waste (FW) emissions in South Korea amounted to 4.77 million tons in 2021, and continue to increase. Various technologies have been developed to treat FW, with recent research focusing on biochar production through pyrolysis to reduce FW. However, the agricultural application of food waste-biochar (FWBC) is limited by the salt accumulated during pyrolysis. This study investigated salt removal from and the kinetic characteristics of FWBC, and subsequently evaluated its agricultural applications. FW was pyrolyzed at 350℃ for 4 h, and subsequently washed for 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 5, 15, and 30 min to remove salt. FWBC had a salt concentration of 5.75%, which was effectively removed through washing. The salt concentration decreased rapidly at the beginning (1 min) and then slowly decreased, unlike in FW, in which the salt decreased continuously and slowly. The salt removal speed constant (K) was 1.5586 (Stage 1, FWBC) > 0.0445 (Stage 2, FWBC) > 0.0026 (FW). In a lettuce cultivation experiment, higher biomass was achieved using washed FWBC than when using unwashed FWBC and FW, and soil properties were improved. Overall, these findings suggest that although FW reduction using pyrolysis causes a salt accumulation problem, the salt can be effectively removed through washing. The use of washed FWBC can enhance plant growth and soil properties.

Rhizobacteria are a diverse group of free-living soil bacteria that live in plant rhizosphere and colonized the root system. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) possessing ACC deaminase (ACCD) can reduce ACC and ethylene in plant tissue and mediated the growth of plants under various stresses including salt stress. ACCD decrease ethylene levels in plant tissue that produce high levels of ethylene in tissue via elevated levels of ACC under salt stress. We selected strains of Pseudomonas sp. possessing ACCD activity for their ability to promote plant growth under salt stress from soil sample collected at Byeonsan, Jeonbuk, South Korea. The Pseudomonas strains possessing ACCD increased the rate of the seedling and growth of chinese cabbage seeds under salt stress. We cloned ACCD gene from P.fluorescens and expressed recombinant protein in Escherichia coli. The active form of recombinant ACCD converted ACC to a-ketobutyrate. The in vivo treatment of recombinant ACCD itself increase the rate of the seedling and growth of Chinese cabbage seeds under salt stress. The polyclonal P.fluorescens anti-ACCD antibody specifically reacted with ACCD originated from Pseudomonas. This indicates that the antibody might act as an important indicator for ACCD driven from Pseudomonas exhibiting plant growth-promoting activity. This study will be useful for identification of newly isolated PGPR containing ACCD and exploioting the ACCD activity from PGPR against various biotic and abiotic stresses.
