The Effect of the Gypsum Application on the Composition of Nitrogen and Sulfur Compounds in Mixed Pasture and on the Sulfur Balance in Soil

혼파초지에서 Gypsum 처리가 목초의 질소 및 황화합물조성과 토양중 황균형에 미치는 영향

The effect of gypsum application was tested on dry matter yield, sulfur uptaken, composition of Ritrogen compound and sulhr compound and sulfur balance in mixed pasture. Total dry matter yields and sulfur uptake by grasses increased with the increasing of gypsum application rates. The ratios between total nitrogen and total sulfur in masses decreased with the increase of sulfur uptake at 2nd and 3rd cutting times. Cysteine content was little affected by gypsum while methionine content slightly increased an 4.0, 6.0 kg3 per 10a levels at 2nd and 3rd cutting times. The uptake of nitrate nitrogen decreased with gypsum application and dry matter digestibility increased about 1.1 to 3.3%. The soil pHs after experiment become high in surface and subsoil till 6.0 kg.S per 10a, but low at 10.0 kg.S per 10a. The content of sulfur in surface soil was 19.9 ppm after experiment, but very high in subsoi1,ranging from 94 to 143 ppm.S. Sulfur leached from the surface soil by 0.69, 2.39, and 6.24 kg.S per 10a in the plots of 4.0, 6.0, and 10.0 kg.S per 10a, respectively.
