Abstract

This study was conducted to find out the effects of Improvement of Botanical Composition Technology (IBCT) on the forage production and ecological characteristics in a Rumex acetosella-dominated hilly pasture in Pyeongchang, in a period from August 2013 to the end of growing season in October 2015. $2MT\;ha^{-1}$ limestone was applied in August 2013 and April 2014. Liming significantly increased soil pH from 4.69 to 5.47 and then the soil pH consistently hovered at 4.91~4.98. For every grazing time, plant height was found to be higher with the application of IBCT as compared with the control. After grazing, no significant difference in plant height was found between the IBCT group and the control. Changes in the botanical composition of grassland can be affected by a lot of circumstances, but application of IBCT decreased Rumex acetosella from 12% to 2%, while also increasing the proportion of pasture. In relation to the botanical composition of grass, orchardgrass and timothy showed the highest percentages throughout the whole study period. The proportion of Kentucky bluegrass increased over time while tall fescue steadily decreased. The totals for grazing days were 58 in 2014 and 55 in 2015. Average herbage dry matter intake was $7,848kg\;ha^{-1}$ in 2014 and $6,941kg\;ha^{-1}$ in 2015. Due to the application of IBCT, dry matter productivity showed a significant increase of 59% during the first grazing period in 2014 (3,437 kg ha and 5,460 kg ha in control and IBCT). In 2015, the total dry matter yield of the IBCT group was 51% greater than the control ($5,742kg\;ha^{-1}$ and $8,685kg\;ha^{-1}$ in control and IBCT). Under acidic soil conditions, red sorrel can grow more strongly than grasses because it has better tolerance in dry and acidic conditions. Therefore, constant management is required in order to keep red sorrel from dominating the hilly pasture. In this study, the application of IBCT was able to effectively control weeds at all points. As a result, total management, including improvement of soil, overseeding, and application of selective herbicide and fertilizer, is needed to maintain excellent grassland conditions due to the limiting effects of environmental factors on grassland productivity.

본 연구는 애기수영 우점 초지를 대상으로 종합적인 식생개선 기술을 적용하여 갱신한 초지의 연차별 식생 및 생산성 추이를 분석해보고 개량효과를 생태적 방법으로 고찰해 보고자 2013년 8월부터 2015년 10월까지 강원도 평창의 방목용 초지에서 수행되었다. 토양개량을 위해 석회를 $2MT\;ha^{-1}$의 양으로 2회 시용한 결과 pH 4.69에서 5.47까지 향상되었으며, 이후 더 이상 상승하지 않고 pH 4.91에서 4.98 수준을 유지하였다. 초장은 식생개선구가 모든 방목 시기에서 대조구보다 높은 경향을 보였으며, 방목 후 초장은 12~18 cm 사이로 대조구와 식생개선구간에 유의적 차이가 없었다. 초지 식생구성은 목초의 비율이 증가되었고 잡초(애기수영)의 비율은 12%에서 2%까지 감소하였다. 목초는 orchardgrass와 timothy의 비율이 높은 경향을 보였으며 시간이 지날수록 Kentucky bluegrass의 식생비율이 증가하였고 tall fescue의 비율은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 방목두수는 한우 20두로 2014년도 총 방목기간은 58일이었고, 2015년도는 55일 이었다. 가축의 총 건물섭취량의 경우 2014년은 $7,848kg\;ha^{-1}$이었고 2015년에는 $6,941kg\;ha^{-1}$로 2014년도가 더 높은 경향을 보였다. 평균 초지 가축 이용률은 2014년도 84%로 2015년도 79% 보다 높은 경향을 보였다. 목초의 건물수량은 2014년도 1차 방목에서 대조구는 $3,437kg\;ha^{-1}$로 식생개선구 $5,460kg\;ha^{-1}$ 보다 생산량이 59% 증가되었고, 2015년도 총 건물수량에서 대조구는 $5,742kg\;ha^{-1}$로 식생개선구 $8,685kg\;ha^{-1}$ 보다 51% 건물수량이 증가되었다.
