Influence of Levee-burning on the Surroundings of Rice Paddies

논둑 태우기가 논 주변 환경에 미치는 영향

  • Published : 2003.12.01

Abstract

Studies were conducted to find out the justification for levee-burning, customarily executed by farmers for long time, Experiments were carried out in farmers fields with levee-burning early in the season, and some pesticides spraying when necessary from 1995 to 1997. Some data collected are analysed and discussed from several available aspects of surroundings. In relation to some results obtained together with some previous evidences, levee-burning seems to have several adverse effects on levee destruction, partial cause of forest fire, and lowering of spider density in the field during fall, without providing any benefit, while causing no signifant effect on weed flora on levee, insect density in the field, and incidence of the rice-blast. Therefore, concequently, it could be recommend that the levee-burning by farmers should not be continued.

논둑 불태우기의 당위성을 찾기 위하여 1995년부터 1997까지 2년동안 안동 지방 2개 지역 농가 포장에서 논둑을 태운 뒤의 잡초상, 곤충상 및 거미상과 아울러 다각적인 환경요인에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 및 기존자료들을 종합하여 볼 때 잡초상, 곤충상 및 도열병발생 등에는 별 영향이 없고 거미상 및 논둑 보존 등에는 불리하게 작용하며 더욱이 산불의 원인이 될 수 있는 등 뚜렷한 득은 없고 확실한 손실만을 초래하는 것으로 판단되어 논둑 불태우기를 절대 금하는 기초자료로 활용할 것을 건의한다.
