Abstract
Reclaimed tidal area is a great agricultural resource in the world. Improvement and utilization of reclaimed soil is an important measure for expanding land resource. This study was conducted to evaluate relative salt-tolerance of plants and its effect for improving saline soil. Eighteen tolerance plants were selected from China, Pakistan and Korea the climate of which is different. The emergence of different varieties in reclaimed soil was in order as FL478>Barnyard grass>Pokkali>Atriplex>Sesbania>Rumex>Alfalfa>Tall Fescue>Ryegrass>Sudan grass. Four varieties, Barnyard grass, Sesbania, Atriplex and Limonium were selected for soil improvement in reclaimed land. Cultivation of Sesbania, Barnyard grass and Atriplex were good to soil physico-chemical quality. Also these plants increased soil organic matter contents and reduced soil salt concentration. Organic matter contents of cultivated soils of Sesbania, Barnyard grass and Atriplex were $4.10g\;kg^{-1}$, $4.60g\;kg^{-1}$ and $2.81g\;kg^{-1}$ respectively. On the other hand organic matter content of uncultivated soils was $2.65g\;kg^{-1}$. As Sesbania and Barnyard grass were applied to cultivated soil like green manure, bulk density improved from $1.42Mg\;m^{-3}$ to $1.39Mg\;m^{-3}$.
본 연구는 간척지 친환경농업 기반조성을 위하여 신간척지 토양개량을 위한 내염성 식물 활용성을 평가하고자 국내외에서 내염성 식물 18종을 수집하여 시험을 수행하였다. 신간척지 토양에서 파종된 식물의 출현율은 FL478(벼)>Barnyard grass>Pokkali>Atriplex>Sesbania>Rumex>Alfalfa>Tall Fescue>Ryegrass>Sudan grass의 순이었다. 신간척지 토양에서 생육후기까지 생육이 가능한 식물은 Limonium, Atriplex, Barnyard grass 및 Sesbania 등 4종이었다. Barnyard grass의 생체중은 $1.21kg\;m^{-2}$, 건물중은 $0.48kg\;m^{-2}$이었다. Sesbania의 생체중은 $1.55kg\;m^{-2}$, 건물중은 $0.68kg\;m^{-2}$로 가장 많았으며, Atriplex의 생체중은 $1.04kg\;m^{-2}$, 건물중은 $0.42kg\;m^{-2}$이었다. 그리고 Limonium의 생체중은 $1.04kg\;m^{-2}$, 건물중은 $0.32kg\;m^{-2}$이었다. Sesbania와 Barnyard grass를 시용한 결과 인산함량은 시험전 $62.5g\;kg^{-1}$에 비하여 각각 $76.1g\;kg^{-1}$, $78.1g\;kg^{-1}$으로 증가하였다. 유기물함량은 시험 전 토양이 $2.65g\;kg^{-1}$이었지만 내염성 식물을 시용함으로서 $2.81{\sim}4.60g\;kg^{-1}$으로 증가하였다. 녹비 시용 전 토양 용적밀도는 $1.42Mg\;m^{-3}$이었으나 Sesbania와 Barnyard grass를 시용한 토양의 용적밀도는 $1.39Mg\;m^{-3}$로 낮아졌다.
