Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of organic agricultural materials, chitosan and wood vinegar, on the growth and yield of red pepper and soil microflora. In the chitosan treatments, the density of actinomycetes in soils increased, while the density of fungi decreased. Compared with the conventional cultivation, the stem diameter of red pepper was greater in the chitosan or wood vinegar experimental plots at 50 days after transplanting, though there was no difference in chlorophyll content among treatments. The incidence of disease and insect was higher in the treatments of organic agricultural materials than the conventional cultivation, regardless of application frequency. Contents of cations such as Ca and K in leaves and fruits increased by chitosan treatment. In all experimental plots, fruit yield decreased because of diseases and insects. But in chitosan treatment plot with 10 times of application, characteristics of fruits were superior to others and the yield index of red pepper was the highest as 92.4% as compared to the conventional cultivation.

유기농자재인 목초액과 키토산의 농업적 이용을 위하여 고추의 생육과 양분흡수 및 토양미생물상에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과는 다음과 같다. 키토산 처리구에서 토양의 방선균수가 증가하고 사상균 수는 감소하는 경향으로 A/F 및 B/F비가 커졌으며, 정식 후 50일에 경경이 약간 큰 편이었으나, 엽록소함량은 처리별 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 병해충은 관행에 비해 키토산 및 목초액 처리구 모두 발생률이 많아 병해충의 방제효과는 볼 수 없었다. 식물체 분석 결과 키토산과 목초액 처리구 모두 Ca, K가 관행보다 다소 높았으며 키토산 처리구는 과실의 무기성분 중 Ca와 K와 같은 양이온 함량이 다소 많은 편이었다 키토산과 목초액 처리에 의한 수량은 병해충 발생으로 관행에 비하여 모든 시험구에서 감소하여 수량증대효과는 기대할 수 없었으나. 과중 등의 과실특성이 좋게 나타나 키토산 10회 처리의 경우 관행대비 92.4%로 관행에 가까운 수량지수를 보였다.
