Abstract

This study was performed to make the method of food waste manufacturing for feeding to earthworm and different ratio of earthworm cast was investigated for applying vegetable plants that cultivated in a family or roof garden. We made conventional treatment of gardening soil and prepared soils with earthworm cast (the only fertilizer) at 30, 50, 70 and 100% for planting vegetable plants and then we studied its growth feature. The treatment was repeated three times with 12 weeks for each time. The cultivation of radish and chinese cabbage were managed at the same cultivation level for RDA standard cultivation method, and each sample of soils and plants was analyzed by appropriate analysis method. The growth investigation was performed 12 week after planting, and as for growth characteristics, height, leaf diameter, leaf number, leaf length, fresh weight and dry weight were investigated. The chemical characteristics, soils and plants, were surveyed. As for the growth characteristics investigated, radish and chinese cabbage showed the biggest growth in 70% and 50% treatment with average growth of all characteristics, height, leaf diameter, leaf number, leaf length, fresh weight and dry weight, respectively. Applying these results, a new equation for vermicast recommendation for radish and Chinese cabbage in summer (June-August) was presented. The earthworm cast 50% level with the gardening soil showed the high production in chinese cabbage. In case of radish, earthworm cast 70% with gardening soil level showed great growth, significantly.

본 연구는 공동생활주택에서 발생하는 음식물 쓰레기를 지렁이먹이로 공급하기 위하여 먹이로 조제하는 방법을 제시하고 생산한 분변토를 텃밭이나 옥상 농원 등에 채소 재배 용도로 사용하기 위해 지렁이 분변토 적정 혼합비율을 규명하였다. 음식물쓰레기는 수거 후 kg 당 수돗물 15L로 세척하여 햇빛에 물기가 제거될 정도로 건조하여 달걀껍질을 혼합하여 65~70%로 수분을 조절한 것을 지렁이 먹이로 사용하였다. 처리는 무처리(일반 채소재배용 상토, 서울바이오), 100% 지렁이 분립, 지렁이 분립을 상토(서울바이오상토)에 30, 50, 70%를 혼합하여 재배토양을 조제하였다. 각 처리구에 열무(청농춘하열무, 청농(주))와 엇갈이배추(대농, 대농종묘(주))를 공시하여 2012년 6월 4일부터 9월 15일까지 서울시 서초구 내곡동 서울특별시 농업기술센터 플라스틱하우스 내에서 재배하였다. 수확 후 생육특성 조사결과 열무의 경우 지렁이 분립 70% 혼합 처리구에서 엽폭은 7.85cm로 고도로 유의성이 있었고, 지상부 생체중을 조사한 결과 지렁이 분립 혼합비율 70% 처리구는 중량이 식물체당 129.92mg로 높았고, 지상부 건조중도 지렁이 분립 혼합비율 70%처리구가 10.25mg으로 유의성이 있었다. 열무의 생육특성 조사결과 지렁이 분립 70%처리구가 생육이 가장 적합했다. 엇갈이 배추의 생육특성 조사결과 초장은 지렁이 분립 50% 처리구에서 24.32cm로 가장 길게 나타났고 고도의 유의성이 있었다. 엽폭은 지렁이 분립 50% 처리구에서 9.79cm로 유의하였다. 지상부 생체중은 지렁이분립 50% 처리구에서 식물체당 185.08mg으로 무거웠으며, 지하부 생체중은 30, 70% 처리구가 각각 24.09mg, 23.96mg으로 높게 조사되었다. 지상부 및 지하부 건조중은 50% 처리구가 각각 15.63mg, 7.03mg으로 가장 높게 측정되었다. 엇갈이배추의 생육 특성 조사 결과 지렁이 분립 50% 처리구가 생육에 효과적이었다. 본 연구 결과 음식물 쓰레기를 지렁이 먹이로 공급하여 생산한 분변토를 텃밭이나 옥상 농원 등에 봄, 가을철 주요 채소인 열무와 엇갈이배추의 재배 용토에 혼합하여 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
