Abstract
In order to study the possibility of grassland improvement by spring sowing in the forest, microenvironmental conditions, emergence, percentage of grasses and weeds, root weight and dry matter yield of grasses were investigated. Two field sites (forest grassland and full-sunlight grassland) and two sowing times (March 20 and April 10) were assigned. The condition of the forest grassland was area of pine trees with 50% shading, and the experiment was performed at the Livestock Experiment Station in Suweon, 1984. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. For germination and early growth of grasses, full-sunlight grassland was more advantageous than forest grassland. Growth after that stage, on the other hand, forest grassland was more suitable. Especially, during dry and high temperature season, temperature of soil surface and underground in the forest grassland were decreased by $6-7^{\circ}C$ and $3-4^{\circ}C$ each other, compared with those of the full-sunlight grassland. Also soil moisture content was continuously higher in the forest grassland. 2. At March 20 sowing the emergence time in the full-sunlight grassland was shortened by 8 days, compared with that of the forest grassland. In case of sowing on April 10, however, there was no difference between two grassland sites. 3. Grasses grown in the forest was more prostrate and leaves from them decayed more, compared with those of the full-sunlight grassland. 4. The percentage of grasses in the forest grassland was 80 to 85 %, on the other hand, that of the full-sunlight grassland was only 15 to 20 %. And the percentage of grasses tended to be high in the plot of early sowing time. 5. Dry root weight and root length of grasses grown in the forest were inferior to those of the full-sunlight grassland (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between two sowing times. 6. Dry matter yield of grasses was significantly higher (P<0.05) in the forest grassland than in the full-sunlight grassland, and yield was influenced by sowing time. Higher yield (4,011 kg/ha) was produced in the plot of the forest grassland with early spring sowing. 7. From above results, it is suggested that grassland improvement by spring sowing in the forest is possible, and it is desirable to sow in early spring.
본(本) 시험(試驗)은 임간지(林間地)(차광정도(遮光程度) 50%)에서 춘파초지(春播草地) 개량(改良) 가능성(可能性)을 나지(裸地)(자연광(自然光) 조건(條件))와 병행하여 비교(比較) 검토(檢討)하고자 파종시기(播種時期)를 3월(月) 20일(日)과 4월(月) 10일(日)로 하여 출현(出現), 식생피복도(植生被覆度), 목초율(牧草率), 잡초율(雜草率), 근중(根重) 및 수량(收量) 등과 주요(主要) 미기상(微氣象)을 1984년도(年度) 수원(水原) 축산시험장(畜産試驗場)에서 동시에 조사(調査)하였던 바 얻어진 결과(結果)를 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. 1 파종후(播種後)부터 생육초기(生育初期)에는 나지초지(裸地草地) 임간초지(林間草地)에 비해 유리(有利)한 환경조건(環境條件)이었으나 그 후의 생육(生育)은 임간초지(林間草地)에서 더 유리(有利)하였다. 특(特)히 한발(旱魃) 및 고온기간중(高溫期間中) 임간초지(林間草地)는 지표온도(地表溫度) $6{\sim}7^{\circ}C$, 지중온도(地中溫度) $3{\sim}4^{\circ}C$의 저하효과(低下效果)와 함께 토양수분(土壤水分)을 계속하여 높게 유지(維持)시켜 주었다. 2. 3월(月) 20일(日) 파종구(播種區)에서 목초(牧草)의 출현(出現)은 나지초지(裸地草地)가 임간초지(林間草地)에 비해 8일(日)정도 빨랐으나 4월(月) 10일(日) 파종구(播種區)는 차이가 없었다. 3. 임간지(林間地) 목초(牧草)는 나지(裸地)에 비해 초형(草型)은 부복특성(俯伏特性)을 보여 주었으며 엽상태(葉狀態)는 약간 불량(不良)하였다. 4. 예취시(刈取時) 임간초지(林間草地)의 목초율(牧草率) $80{\sim}85%$로 높았으나, 나지초지(裸地草地)는 $15{\sim}20%$로 낮았으며, 목초율(牧草率) 파종시기(播種時期)가 빠를 때 높은 경향이었다. 5. 근중(根重) 및 근장(根長) 등 목초(牧草)의 뿌리 발육상태(發育狀態)는 임간초지(林間草地)가 나지초지(裸地草地)에 비해 불량(不良)하였으며(P<0.05), 파종시기별(播種時期別) 차이는 없었다. 6. 3회(回) 예취(刈取)한 목초(牧草)의 건물수량(乾物收量)은 임간초지(林間草地)가 나지초지(裸地草地)에 비해 뚜렷한 증가를 보였으며(P<0.05). 파종시기(播種時期)가 빠를 때 수량(收量)은 많아 임간초지(林間草地)의 3월(月) 20일(日) 파종구(播種區)의 총건물수량總(乾物收量)은 401.1kg/10a으로 양호(良好)하였다. 7. 이상(以上)의 결과(結果)로서 임간지(林間地)에서 춘파(春播)에 의한 초지개량(草地改良)은 충분한 가능성(可能性)이 있으며, 가능하면 3월(月) 중하순(中下旬)으로 일찍 파종(播種)하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 사료(思料)된다.
