The Influence of Soil Physico-Chemical Properties on Urease Activity in Paddy Soils

답토양(畓土壤)의 이화학적(理化學的) 특성(特性)과 Urease의 활성(活性)

Paddy soil samples were collected from the plow layers of 19 soil series distributed in Yeongnam district to determine the relationship between soil urease activity and other soil characteristics. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. Simple correlation analyses showed that the urease activity was positively related with available $P_2O_5(r=.844^{**})$, potassium activity ratio($r=0.762^{**}$), available $SiO_2(r=.580^{**})$ and $SiO_2$/O.M ratio($r=0.591^{**}$). 2. Among soil chemical properties which had positive linear correlations with soil urease activity, the content of available $P_2O_5$ in soil had the highest contribution to the multiple regression equation of soil urease activity. 3. The activity of soil urease was especially lower in sandy texture than in clayey paddy soils, and a tendency was observed that the heavier soil textures the higher activity of soil urease. 4. Relatively well drained soils had the higher activity of soil urease while the soils in "poorly drained" had remarkably lower activity of soil urease. 5. The soils in higher classes of paddy soil equitability group had higher activities of soil urease.

영남지역(嶺南地域) 답토양(畓土壤)의 이화학적(理化學的) 성질(性質)과 토양중(土壤中)의 urease 활성(活性)과의 관계(關係)를 검토(檢討)해 본 결과(結果) ; 1. 토양(土壤) 화학적(化學約) 성분(成分)과 urease 활성(活性)과는 유효인산(有效燐酸)($r=0.844^{**}$), 가리활성도비(加里活性度比)($r=0.762^{**}$), 유효규산(有效珪酸)($r=0.580^{**}$), $SiO_2$/O.M비(比)($r=0.591^{**}$) 등(等)과는 유의(有意)한 정상관(正相關) 관계(關係)였다. 2. 토양화학성분중(土壤化學成分中) 유기인산(有機燐酸)이 urease 활성(活性)에 미치는 기여도(寄與度)가 가장 컸다. 3. 토성별(土性別) urease의 활성(活性)은 사질토(砂質土)에서 가장 낮았으며, 토성(土性)이 식질화(埴質化)됨에 따라 증가(增加)하였다. 4. 토양(土壤) 배수등급별(排水等級別) urease 활성(活性)은 배수(排水)가 양호(良好)할수록 높았으며 배수(排水)가 불량(不良)한 답(畓)에서 낮은 경향(傾向)이었다. 5. Urease 활성(活性)이 높은 토양(土壤)이 상위등급지(上位等級地)의 답(畓)에 속(屬)하였다.
