Abstract

To study the possibility of agricultural utilization of the municipal sewage and the industrial wastewater sludges, the chemical properties of soil, the growth response of corn plant and uptake of inorganic nutrients in plant tissues were investigated by application of the composts made of the sludges to the pots at the rate of 2,000kg/10a. The contents of organic matter, T-N, $P_2O_5$ and K in soil were increased by application of the composts. Each heavy metals contents in soil were increased very slightly by application of the composts. The fresh weights of corn plant were increased with $9{\sim}19%\;and\;60{\sim}79%$ at the plot of compost and NPK+composts in comparing with the plot of NPK, respectively. Uptake of N, $P_2O_5,\;K_2O$, CaO and MgO in stem and leaf of corn plant were increased by applications of the composts.

하수 및 공단폐수슬러지의 농지이용가능성을 구명하기 위하여 이들 슬러지를 주 원료로 하여 생산된 퇴비를 토양에 시용하여 옥수수를 재배함으로써 시기별 토양중 화학적 특성변화, 중금속 함량 변화, 작물생육상황, 식물체 부위별 무기성분 흡수량 및 중금속 함량 등을 조사하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 퇴비 시용으로 토양중 유기물, 질소, 인산 및 카리 함량이 증가되었고, 토양중 중금속 함량도 증가되었으나 매우 미미한 증가였으며 규제 농도에 훨씬 못 미치는 농도였다. 옥수수의 생체중은 각 퇴비구 및 삼요소+ 각 퇴비구가 삼요소구에 비하여 각각 약 $9{\sim}19%$$60{\sim}79%$ 증가하였다. 퇴비시용구가 삼요소구에 비하여 옥수수의 잎 및 줄기에서 질소, 인산, 카리, 석회 및 고토의 흡수량이 증가되었다.
