Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of ground cover treatments on the nutrient contribution in a 'Niitaka' pear ($Pyrus$ $pyriforia$) orchard. Treatments included; 1) sod culture, 2) winter cover crop [ryegrass+hairy vetch], and 3) winter [ryegrass+hairy vetch]+summer [greensolgo (sudan grass ($Sorghum$ $bicolor$ L.))+ nemajanghwang (crotalaria ($Crotalaria$ $juncea$ L.)] cover crops. Ryegrass and hairyvetch were seeded with 6.4 kg/10a and 3.0 kg/10a, respectively, on October 17 of 2008, and greensolgo and nemajanghwang were seeded with 2.0 kg/10a and 3.0 kg/10a, respectively, on June 4 of 2009 at a diligent farmer in Boseong in Chonnam. Winter+summer cover crops provided greater amounts of dry weight, followed by winter cover crop and sod culture. The difference of amounts of dry weight from the ground covers affected to the levels of total N, P, and K contents, which were greater nutrient levels than those of recommended nutrient requirement for satisfying 10- to 12-year-old pear tree growth. Greater amounts of dry weight from the ground covers increased organic matter and concentrations of K and Mg in soil. Foliar nutrient concentrations, as an indicator of nutrient status of a tree, were not affected by application of ground cover treatments.

본 연구는 유기재배 배 과수원에서 녹비작물 재배에 의한 식물양분의 환원효과를 알아보기 위해서 수행되었다. 처리는 녹비작물 재배방법에 따라서, 1) 방임초생, 2) 겨울철 녹비작물 재배(호밀+헤어리베치), 3) 겨울철 녹비작물+여름철 녹비작물[그린솔고(수단그라스 품종($Sorghum$ $bicolor$ L.))+네마장황(클로타라리아 품종($Crotalaria$ $juncea$ L.))]으로 나누었다. 겨울철 녹비작물인 호밀과 헤어리베치는 각각 6.4kg/10a와 3.0kg/10a로 2008년 10월 17일에 파종하였으며, 여름철 녹비작물인 그린솔고와 네마장황은 각각 2.0kg/10a와 3.0kg/10a로 2009년 6월 4일에 전남 보성의 배 과수원 독농가에 처리하였다. 녹비작물의 건물중은 겨울+여름녹비작물>겨울녹비작물>방임초생 순으로 나타났다. 녹비작물의 건물중의 차이는 전질소와 인산 그리고 칼륨의 환원량에도 영향을 미쳤으며, 10-12년생 '신고' 배나무가 필요로 하는 질소와 인산 그리고 칼륨의 요구도에 비교해서 다소 많은 양을 공급한 것으로 판단되었다. 이러한 과다한 무기성분 공급량은 토양의 유기물과 칼륨 그리고 마그네슘 농도를 적정농도 이상으로 증가시켰다. 하지만 배나무의 영양상태의 지표인 잎의 무기성분은 녹비작물 연용에 따른 별다른 영향을 받지 않은 것으로 사료되었다.
