Nowadays water shortage is becoming one of the biggest problems in the Korea. Many different methods are developed for conservation of water. Soil water management has become the most indispensable factor for augmenting the crop productivity especially on soybean (Glycine max L.) because of their high susceptibility to both water stress and water logging at various growth stages. The farmers have been using irrigation techniques through manual control which farmers irrigate lands at regular intervals. Automatic irrigation systems are convenient, especially for those who need to travel. If automatic irrigation systems are installed and programmed properly, they can even save you money and help in water conservation. Automatic irrigation systems can be programmed to provide automatic irrigation to the plants which helps in saving money and water and to discharge more precise amounts of water in a targeted area, which promotes water conservation. The objective of this study was to determine the possible effect of automatic irrigation systems based on soil moisture on soybean growth. This experiment was conducted on an upland field with sandy loam soils in Department of Southern Area Crop, NICS, RDA. The study had three different irrigation methods; sprinkle irrigation (SI), surface drip irrigation (SDI) and fountain irrigation (FI). SI was installed at spacing of $7{\times}7m$ and $1.8m^3/hr$ as square for per irrigation plot, a lateral pipe of SDI was laid down to 1.2 m row spacing with $2.3L\;h^{-1}$ discharge rate, the distance between laterals was 20 cm spacing between drippers and FI was laid down in 3m interval as square for per irrigation plot. Soybean (Daewon) cultivar was sown in the June $20^{th}$, 2016, planted in 2 rows of apart in 1.2 m wide rows and distance between hills was 20 cm. All agronomic practices were done as the recommended cultivation. This automatic irrigation system had valves to turn irrigation on/off easily by automated controller, solenoids and moisture sensor which were set the reference level as available soil moisture levels of 30% at 10cm depth. The efficiency of applied irrigation was obtained by dividing the total water stored in the effective root zone to the applied irrigation water. Results showed that seasonal applied irrigation water amounts were $60.4ton\;10a^{-1}$ (SI), $47.3ton\;10a^{-1}$ (SDI) and $92.6 ton\;10a^{-1}$ (FI), respectively. The most significant advantage of SDI system was that water was supplied near the root zone of plants drip by drip. This system saved a large quantity of water by 27.5% and 95.6% compared to SI, FI system. The average soybean yield was significantly affected by different irrigation methods. The soybean yield by different irrigation methods were $309.7kg\;10a^{-1}$ from SDI $282.2kg\;10a^{-1}$ from SI, $289.4kg\;10a^{-1}$ from FI, and $206.3kg\;10a^{-1}$ from control, respectively. SDI resulted in increase of soybean yield by 50.1%, 7.0% 9.8% compared to non-irrigation (control), FI and SI, respectively. Therefore, the automatic irrigation system supplied water only when the soil moisture in the soil went below the reference. Due to the direct transfer of water to the roots water conservation took place and also helped to maintain the moisture to soil ratio at the root zone constant. Thus the system is efficient and compatible to changing environment. The automatic irrigation system provides with several benefits and can operate with less manpower. In conclusion, improving automatic irrigation system can contribute greatly to reducing production costs of crops and making the industry more competitive and sustainable.

최근 상추와 같은 농산물에 의한 식중독사고가 발생하고 있으며 그 원인으로 병원성 미생물에 오염된 퇴비, 관개용수의 사용이라고 보고되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 육묘단계의 상토, 재배과정의 토양, 관개용수의 Escherichia coli와 Bacillus cereus 오염이 상추의 안전성에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 상토는 두 균주로 7.5log CFU/g 수준으로 오염시킨 후 상추종자를 파종하고 28일간 생육시켰고, 오염되지 않은 토양과 6.0log CFU/g 수준으로 오염시킨 토양에 오염된 상토에서 21일간 자란 묘를 이식하고 49일간 인공기상동 ($25^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 70-80%)에서 생육시켰다. 또한 8.0log CFU/mL로 오염된 관개용수로 지표면관수법과 살수관수법으로 상추에 관수하고 40일간 병원성 미생물의 오염 및 생존을 조사하였다. 그 결과 육묘기의 상토와 상추 중 E. coli와 B. cereus는 시간이 경과함에 따라 점차 감소하였지만 육묘기 내내 생존 가능한 것으로 확인되었다. 토양에서는 42일간 E. coli와 B. cereus가 6.0log CFU/g 내외로 유의적인 감소 없이 유지되고 있었다. 오염된 토양에 이식된 상추는 21일째까지 E. coli와 B. cereus의 농도가 4.0log CFU/g 이상 유지되었고 이식 후 42일까지도 검출되었다. 또한 살수관수법으로 처리한 구에서 지표면관수법으로 처리한 구보다 상추의 오염수준이 5.0log CFU/g 정도 높았다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과는 병원성미생물에 오염된 상토, 토양, 관개용수는 농산물의 병원성미생물 오염에 직접적인 원인이 될 수 있음을 시사한다.
