Effects of Some Soil Conditioners on Soil Physical Properties and Lettuce Growth

사토, 사양토, 양토, 식양토의 4개 토양에 Polyvinyalcohol(PVA), Polyacrylamide(PAM) 및 Bitumen을 분무처리하여 토양의 입단형성과 수분특성에 미친 영향을 조사하였으며 한편, Pot 재배 시험을 통하여 PAM 처리가 상추의 발아율과 생육에 미친 효과를 검토하였다. 2mm 이상의 입단함량(粒團含量)은 Soil conditioner를 처리하지 않은 토양에서 사토 0%, 사양토 45%, 양토 80%, 식양토 90%이었고 PVA, PAM 및 Bitumen의 처치에 의해서는 사도 20~52%, 사양토 55~76% 범위로 증가되었으나 양토와 식양토에서는 변화가 적었다. Soil conditioner 처리에 의해 내수성(耐水性) 입단(粒團)이 증가되었고 입단의 불안정성(不安定性)은 감소되었다. 토양(土壤)의 습윤각(濕潤角)은 PAV와 PAM 처리에서는 거의 변화가 없었으나 Bitumen 처리에 의해서는 무처리토양과 비교하여 크게 높아져서 소수성이 증가되었다. 침수성과 흡수성은 Bitumen 처리에 의해 모든 토성에서 물의 이동이 나타나지 않았으며 PVA와 PAM 처리에 의해서는 사토를 제외할 토성에서는 큰 변화가 없었다. PAM 처리에 의하여 상추의 발아율. 뿌리무게와 지상부 건물중이 무처리에 비해 크게 증가되고 그 효과는 사양토와 미사질양토에 비하여 사토에서 매우 컸는데 이는 PAM 처리에 의해 토양의 보수력과 기상비율이 함께 증가되어 상추생육을 촉진한 결과로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of some soil conditioners, such as polyacrylamide(PAM), polyvinylalcohol(PVA) and Bitumen emulsion, on aggregate formation and stability, wetting angle, sorptivity and penetrability of the soil with different textures : sand, sandy loam, loam and clay loam. A pot experiment was carried out to find out the effect of treatment on the germination and growth of lettuce with three textures : sand, sandy loam and silt loam. Soil aggregates larger than 2mm in untreated soils at dry condition were naught in sand, 45% in sandy loam, 80% in loam and 90% in clay loam. Treatments of soil conditioners tended to increase the occurrence of soil aggregate larger than 2mm, which were 20~25% in sand, 55~75% sandy loam, but not affected greatly aggragate occurence in loam and clay loam. The aggregate instability was decreased by the soil conditioner treatment. The wetting angles of the soils were greatly changed by hydrophobic of Bitumen, but those were changed slightly by PVA and PAM application. The sorptivity and penetrability data indicated that the effects of different materials on these parameters differed depending upon soil texture. Application of PVA and PAM were no effect exceptive in sand. Application of Bitumen revealed that water movement was not showed in all soils. The germination rate, root weight and top plant weight of lettuce were increased in all soils by PAM treatment as compared to untreated soils. Particularly the greater effect was occurred in sand soil than in sandy loam and silt loam. PAM increased greatly the moisture content and air phase of soils.
