Abstract
The leaching behaviour of $^{14}C$-paraquat in soil was investigated using soil columns (5 cm I.D. ${\times}$ 30 cm H.) parked with two soils of different physicochemical properties. $^{14}C$-Activities leached from the soil A (loam) columns with and without rice plants for 117 days were 0.42 and 0.54% of the originally applied, whereas those from the soil B (sandy loam) were 0.21 and 0.31%, respectively. $^{14}C$-Activities absorbed by rice plants from soil A and B were 3.87 and 2.79%, respectively, most of which remained in the root. Irrespective of soil types, more than 96% of the total $^{14}C$ resided in soil, mostly in the depth of $0{\sim}5$ cm. The water-extractable $^{14}C$ in soil was in the range of $6.10{\sim}9.01%$ of the total $^{14}C$ applied. The rest of $^{14}C$, which corresponds to non-extractable soil residues of [$^{14}C$]paraquat, was distributed in humic substances in the decreasing order of humin>humic acid>fulvic acid. The soil pH of the columns without rice plants increased after the leaching experiment due to the flooded anaerobic condition resulting in the reduction of the $H^{+}$ concentration, whereas that of the columns with rice plants did not increase by the offsetting effect of the acidic exudates from the roots. Low mobility of paraquat in soil strongly indicates that no contamination of ground water would be caused by paraquat residues in paddy soils under normal precipitation.
물리화학적 성질이 상이한 두 종류의 토양으로 충전된 유리 column (5 cm I.D. ${\times}$ 30 cm H.)을 이용하여 bipyridylium계 제초제 paraquat의 용탈을 조사하였다. 토양 A (양토)의 벼 재배구와 무재배구에서 117 일 동안 토양 column으로부터 용탈된 $^{14}C$은 각각 총 처리량의 0.42%와 0.54%이었고, 토양 B (사양토)의 경우에는 각각 0.21%와 0.31%이었다. 벼에 흡수된 $^{14}C$은 토양 A와 B에서 각각 3.87%와 2.79%이었고 대부분이 뿌리에 분포하였다. 두 토양 모두에서 총 처리량의 96% 이상이 토양중에 남아 있었고, 특히 $0{\sim}5$ cm 부위에 대부분 존재하였다. Paraquat 토양잔류물의 물에 의한 추출율은 $6.10{\sim}9.10%$이었고 추출불가 토양잔류물의 분포비율은 humin>humic acid>fulvic acid 순이었다. 벼 무재배구의 토양 pH는 담수의 혐기적 조건때문에 용탈실험 후 증가하였으나 벼 재배구에서의 토양 pH는 벼 뿌리로부터 분비되는 삼출물에 의한 상쇄효과로 증가되지 않았다. 토양중 paraquat의 낮은 이동성은 논에 잔류되어 있는 paraquat에 의한 지하수의 오염가능성이 매우 희박함을 시사해 준다.
