Abstract

Research was initiated to investigate the effect of high water-absorbing polymer on turf grass quality of three major turfgrasses. A total of 12 treatment combinations were used in the study. Treatments were made with different rates of sand, soil organic amendment (SOA), and water-swelling polymer (WSP). Visual turf grass quality was evaluated in creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds., CB), Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L., KB), and zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud., Zoy) grown under greenhouse conditions. Significant differences were observed among the treatments in CB, KB, and Zoy. Visual quality ratings varied with mixing rates of SOA and WSP, being maximum 5.6 in differences among them. At the end of study it ranged from 0.3 to 9.6 in CB, 0.3 to 4.0 in KB, and 0.9 to 5.8 in Zoy. Turfgrass quality pattern changed with time after seeding among treatments influenced by WSP rates. From this study, a proper rate of WSP is considered to be 5%, 5~10%, and 5% for CB, KB and Zoy, respectively. In general, overall treatment effect of WSP on turfgrass quality was highly associated with SOA 20% in three turtgrass species. When mixing sand with SOA and WSP for rootzone soil, a proper rate of SOA is considered to be 15 to 20% for CB and KB, while 20% for Zoy of warm-season grass. A further study would be required to investigate the effect of varied, gradual mixing rates of WSP on growth characteristics of turfgrasses grown on mixtures of sand, SOA, and WSP before a field application.

본 연구는 토양개량재 혼합구에서 고분자 중합체 비율이 주요 초종의 잔디품질에 미치는 영향을 조사함으로 수분 흡수 중합체를 이용한 토양개량재의 개발 및 실무 응용에 활용할 수 있는 기초자료를 얻기 위해 수행하였다. 토양개량제 혼합구는 모래, 토양개량재 SOA 및 중합제 WSP를 이용하여 전체 12개 처리구틀 준비하였다. 온실에서 생장한 크리핑 벤트그래스, 켄터키 블루그래스 및 들잔디의 잔디품질은 토양개량재 SOA 및 WSP 중합체 혼합비율에 따라 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 초종별 잔디품질은 크리핑 벤트그래스 > 들잔디 > 켄터키 블루그래스 순서로 나타났고, 시각적 잔디품질 점수는 WSP 중합체 혼합비율에 따라 크리핑 벤트그래스 0.3~9.6, 켄터키 블루그래스 0.3~4.0 및 들잔디 0.9~5.8 사이로 초종 간 최대 5.6정도 차이가 있었다. 3종류 공시초종에서 잔디품질의 변화패턴은 WSP 중합체 혼합비율에 따라 경시적으로 다르게 나타났으며, 잔디품질을 고려할 때 혼합비율은 크리핑 벤트그래스와 들잔디는 5%, 켄터키 블루그래스는 5~10% 범위가 적절하였다. 잔디품질에 대한 전반적인 WSP 중합체 처리효과는 크리핑 벤트그래스, 켄터키 블루그래스 및 들잔디 모두 SOA 20% 혼합구에서 가장 양호하게 나타났다. 그리고 토양개량재 SOA를 함유한 식재층 토양에 WSP 중합체 혼합 시 SOA 혼합비율은 한지형인 크리핑 벤트그래스와 켄터키 블루그래스의 경우 15~20% 사이, 그리고 난지형인 들잔디는 20% 정도를 혼합하는 것이 적절하다고 판단되었다. 향후 유가질 토양개량재를 함유한 식재층 토양에서 0~15% 사이의 저수준의 WSP 중합체 혼합과 함께 칼슘, 펄라이트 등 무기 영양분이 초장, 밀도 및 품질 등 잔디생육 특성에 대한 효과검정을 통해 WSP 중합체를 이용한 토양개량재의 개발 및 실무 응용에 활용하는 것이 바람직하다.
