2015년 기준으로 국내에서 발생된 가축분뇨 중의 80%가 퇴비로 전환되어 유기성 비료자원으로서 농경지에 시용되었다. 현재 이용되고 있는 가축분 퇴비의 형태는 분말형이 주를 이루고 있으며 입상 형태 퇴비로서는 직경 5~10 mm 크기의 원기둥 모양으로 가공된 펠릿이 일부 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우분을 부숙시킨 분말형 퇴비를 원기둥 막대 형태의 펠릿과 구(구슬) 형태(Sphere type)의 펠릿으로 가공하였을 때의 특성을 비교, 분석하였다. 분말 형태 퇴비의 질소농도는 건물량 기준으로 1.05% 이었으며 원기둥 막대 형태와 구 형태로 펠릿화된 이후에는 각각 1.23%와 1.24%로서 가공방법에 따른 차이는 거의 발생하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 입상화 가공효과를 분석한 결과, 스쿠루 압착식과 원통 회전형 입상화 방식 등의 두 가지 가공방식 모두에서 원료의 수분함량이 입상화가공에 있어 가장 큰 영향요소인 것으로 나타났다. 수분 함량 20% 수준으로 건조하였을 때의 비중은 분말형 퇴비에 비해 원기둥 막대 형태와 구 형태 펠릿퇴비는 각각 1.38과 1.13 수준이었다. 퇴비수송과 취급에 관련되는 요소인 압축강도는 원기둥 막대형과 구 형태 펠릿퇴비에서 각각 $27.6kg/cm^2$ 와 $11.3kg/cm^2$ 수준으로서 원기둥 막대형태 펠릿퇴비가 더 높았다.

한국인이 가장 좋아하는 음식인 김치의 소비가 증가하면서 김치공장부산물(KWF)도 증가하였다. 본 연구는 KWF를 처리한 아주까리유박의 퇴비화에서 이화학적 특성의 변화와 시비에 따른 상추의 생육을 평가하였다. 처리구는 아주까리유박(60%)과 톱밥(40%)을 혼합한 대조구, KWF 35% 처리구(K-1), KWF 50% 처리구(K-2) 및 KWF 65% 처리구(K-3)로 설정하였다. KWF처리 후 pH, 유기물 및 미생물상은 처리구별 차이를 나타내지 않았으며, 대조구와 비교할 때, KWF처리구의 질소함량은 증가하였고, 유기물대 질소비는 감소하였다. 퇴비화 종료 후 KWF처리구는 비료공정규격에 적합하였으나 K-3의 염분은 1.91%로 다른 처리구들 보다 높았다. K-1처리구와 K-3처리구에서 상추의 생물중과 건물중은 대조구와 비슷하였다. 이러한 결과들은 김치공장 부산물이 퇴비원료로 사용이 가능하지만 작물에 안전한 아주까리유박퇴비의 생산을 위해서는 35% 이하로 사용하는 것이 적절함을 나타내었다.

Compost is used mainly as an organic fertilizer, but it is also used as bedding material for cattle. Dairy cattle have been identified as a main reservoir of pathogenic Escherichia coli O157:H7. Further, E. coli is regarded as an environmental pathogen that causes bovine clinical mastitis. Hence, its growth in compost spread or compost bedding should be avoided. Physical and chemical conditions, available nutrients and microflora in compost change greatly during the composting process. Since pathogen growth in compost seems to be related to these changes, we assessed the possibility of E. coli growth in compost samples collected at 0, 7, 13, 22, 41, 190 and 360 d. Cattle waste composts with and without added tofu residue were collected from static piles and immediately air-dried. Compost samples were inoculated with a pure culture of E. coli, the moisture content was adjusted to 50%, and the samples were incubated for 5 d at $30^{\circ}C$. The numbers of E. coli in compost before and after incubation were determined by direct plating on Chromocult coliform agar. Almost all compost samples supported E. coli growth. Samples collected during or immediately after the thermophilic phase (day 7) showed the highest growth. Growth in samples more than 13 d old were not significantly different from those of aged compost samples. The addition of tofu residue gave a higher growth than its absence in younger samples collected prior to 13 d. To minimize the risk of environmental mastitis, the use of compost in the initial stage of the process is better avoided.

A series of experiments were performed to study the influence of the following parameters on the physical traits and composition of swine manure compost: (1) addition of magnesium (Mg) at a molar ratio of 1.2 with respect to $PO_4$, and (2) reutilization of compost containing $MgNH_4PO_4{\cdot}6H_2O$ (magnesium ammonium phosphate, MAP). Three independent batch tests were conducted for replication: batch test I-control (C) and Mg added (T), batch test II-C, T and compost recycle ($T_{R1}$), and batch test III-C, T and compost recycle ($T_{R2}$). Magnesium addition and compost reutilization had no adverse effect on the degradation of organic matter. Reuse of the compost, however, had a clear effect on the total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) contents in the final compost. Repeated compost reutilization as a bulking material was resulted in composts rich in N and P. Upon adding the Mg supplement to the composting materials, the ortho-phosphate (OP) to TP ratio decreased due to the MAP crystallization reaction. The decrease in the OP/TP ratio and the increase in the TP content of the compost indicate that water-soluble phosphate is converted into a slow-release phosphate by the formation of crystals during composting. X-ray diffraction analysis of the irregular shaped crystals in the compost indicated that they are MAP crystals and that the crystallization of MAP begins immediately after the addition of the Mg supplement. The Mg addition to composting materials and the reutilization of compost as a bulking material would be a practical means to conserve nutrient content.

This research focused on the investigation of runoff and nonpoint sources (NPS) pollution characteristics from small soil box plots treated by livestock waste composts. An indoor rainfall simulation was performed over the plots for 60 minutes. Simulated rainfall intensities were 32.4, 43.2, 50.3 and 57.1 mm/hr respectively. Slope of soil box plots was $10^{\circ}$ and $20^{\circ}$, respectively. Rainfall simulation replicated 5 times and the experiment was conducted every four days five times. As the slope of soil box increased, NPS pollution loads increased. And as rainfall intensity was increased from 32.4 to 57.1 mm/hr, NPS pollution loads gradually increased, too. Discharge of NPS pollution loads was the largest in the first simulation and thereafter decreased gradually. Discharged BOD load to the total applied load from $10^{\circ}$ plots, ranged 0.2 to 0.7 %, was 8.4 to 50.0 % lower than slope $20^{\circ}$ plots. When the application rate increased twice, the increase of pollution load was between 1.7~5.7 times. Analysis of Pearson's correlation coefficient showed that organic matter content in pig compost and NPS pollution loads were correlated well. While under liquid compost application, the correlation coefficients between them were not good. It was concluded that application of livestock resources need to consider long-term weather forecast and if necessary, NPS reduction measures must be preceded in order to reduce NPS pollution discharge.

Humic acid (HA) is known to consist of various kinds of polymeric organics, their detailed structures can vary depend on sample sources such as organic manure, composts, peat, and lignite brown coal, and largely exists in grassland soils. HA possesses diverse positive effects that not only increase plant growth but also improve soil fertility. Recently, we have manufactured a co-polymeric product of catechol and vanillic acid (CAVA) synthesized artificially, and found that CAVA as a HA mimic increases seed germination and salt tolerance in Arabidopsis. In this study, we examined whether HA or CAVA affects to seedling growth in alfalfa. Foliar application of HA or CAVA increased alfalfa seedling growth including aerial and in root parts. HA or CAVA dramatically enhanced size of leaf and root, whereas HA significantly displayed higher bioactivity than CAVA. Taken together, CAVA acts like as a HA mimic in alfalfa that could apply as an alternation supplement to enhance plant growth and productivity.

A wide diversity of liquid fertilizers and composts produced from the livestock manure in Korea is commonly applied to agricultural lands as an alternative of chemical fertilizers. However, their effects on the crop production and environmental impacts are still vague. The current study was conducted to understand the effects of the pig manure-based liquid fertilizer on the growth of Zea mays L. and soil properties. Four different liquid fertilizers were treated to each cultivated upland plot located in Gyeong-gi province, Korea while no fertilizer (control A) and a chemical fertilizer (control B) were treated to separate plots for comparison. The liquid fertilizer treatment did not make a significant difference in the fresh weight of Zea mays L. compared to the controls. This is probably due to the nutrient residues carried over from the last year fertilization. Electric conductivity (EC) and organic matter contents in soils were increased right after the liquid fertilizer treatments compared to the controls. However, soil pH was maintained as the same as the level of control A. A long-term effect of the continuous treatment of the manure based liquid fertilizer will be carried out in the successive study.

Excess N and P from the livestock manure applied to farmlands, have entered the water systems and poses a serious threat to the natural environment. Consequently, there has been recent awareness towards the management of livestock manure and its related fields. In this study, piggery wastewater was collected from a piggery in Pohang city, Korea. At 800℃, thermal decomposition of a natural stone, magnesite (MgCO₃), yielded powered MgO with particle sizes ranging between 10 to 100 ㎛. Furthermore, NH₄⁺-N and PO₄^3--P were recovered as struvite precipitates from the piggery wastewater, by adjusting the pH with MgO and H₃PO₄. At pH 10, the recovery efficiencies of NH₄⁺-N and PO₄^3--P were found to be 86.1% and 94.1%, respectively. Using an X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), the struvite in the precipitate was confirmed to be consistent with standard pure struvite. Further, the purity of the struvite precipitate was analyzed using an energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and thermal gravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), and found to be between 79.2% and 93.0%. Additionally, struvite-containing piggery wastewater and sawdust were mixed in a weight ratio of 2.5:1 and processed into a mature compost. The newly manufactured compost passed all quality standards required for first-class graded livestock composts. Moreover, this compost was sprayed directly onto the soil at the test site, and various parameters of the soil's effluent, such as total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (T-N), total phosphorus (T-P), and dissolved oxygen (DO), were analyzed and measured. Based on these results, it is determined that the newly manufactured compost can more significantly reduce water pollution than commercial compost.

이 실험의 목적은 혼합된 제지 하수슬러지에 최적의 공극개선재로서 woodchips의 혼합비율을 설정하기 위한 것이다. 공극개선재는 제지슬러지와 하수슬러지(건물중 2:1)혼합물에 0(W-0), 20(W-20), 33(W-33), 50(W-50)%의 부피비로 혼합되었고 강제송풍에 의한 정체식으로 퇴비화를 실시하였다. 퇴비의 부숙도를 평가하기 위하여 이화학성 변화를 조사하였다. W-33과 W-50 처리구에서 온도는 퇴비화가 시작하자마자 상승하여 5일째 $60^{\circ}C$ 이상까지 이르렀다. 열수가용성 C/N율의 감소는 퇴비화 초기에 W-0과 W-20 처리구에 비해 W-33과 W-50 처리구에서 두드러졌다. 열수가용성 $NO_3{^-}-N$은 퇴비화 초기에 거의 변화를 보이지 않다가 퇴비화 20일 이후에 빠르게 증가하였으며 W-0 처리구가 그 증가량이 가장 적었다. G.I.값은 W-50 처리구에서 20일째, W-0은 30일째 이후 80이상으로 높아졌다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 공극개선재의 혼합은 33%이상이 합리적이었으나, 특히 W-50 처리구는 송풍에 의한 온도조절이 어려웠으며, 공극개선재의 구입 및 단가 그리고 생산되는 퇴비량을 고려한다면 공극개선재를 33% 혼합하는 것이 가장 이상적이다.
