Abstract

In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the organic and natural farming techniques, the actual conditions of the techniques were surveyed and some crops were cultivated in situ. The contents of available $P_2O_5$, exchangeable $Ca^{2+}$ and organic matter of the organic and natural farming soil as well as soil pH were higher than those of the non-organic and non-natural farming soil, and especially the content of organic matter amounting 54.0 g/kg was dominant. Income of the farmers cultivating the different crops with the organic and natural farming was high in order of red pepper in vinyl house > cucumber in vinyl house > fruit(pear) > lettuce in vinyl house > rice. The agricultural materials used in organic and natural farming were ranged from 22 to 25 kinds, representing low pH amounted from 2.9 to 4.5 and low contents of fertilizer ingredients. The expense for purchasing the materials was from three to five times higher than that of soil testing plot. The yields of test crops in the organic and natural farming plots were lower than those of soil testing plot, and the efficiencies of the disease and pest control by the application of the substitutes for pesticide were lower than those by pesticides.

유기 자연농법 실천농가기술에 대한 객관적인 평가를 위해 이들 농법 실천농가에 대해 실태조사 및 현지 포장에서 작물재배 시험을 실시한 결과, 다음과 같다. 유기 자연농법 실천농가의 토양 화학성은 일반토양보다 pH가 높았으며, 인산, 칼슘함량이 많았고, 특히 유기농법실천농가의 유기물함량이 높았으며, 작물별 소득은 시설고추 > 시설오이 > 과수(배) > 상추 > 벼 순이었다. 유기 자연농법 농가에서 사용되고 있는 농자재는 22~25종이었고 이들 자재의 화학적 특성은 pH가 낮고 비료성분함량이 적었으며 자재에 소요되는 경비는 토양 검정+최소방제보다 3~5배 높았다. 유기 자연농법 재배에 의한 작물 수량은 토양검정 + 최소방제구보다 낮았으며, 농약대체 활용자재 시용에 의한 병충해 방제효과는 적었다. 유기 자연농법구 모두 화학비료를 사용하고 있었으며 시험 후 토양의 화학성은 토양검정구보다 유기 자연농법구에서 가축분퇴비 시용에 의해 유기물 및 인산, 칼리, 석회 함량이 높았다.
