Abstract

Understanding the net nutrient balance in a farming system is crucial in assessing the system's sustainability. We quantified N, P and K balances under vegetable organic farming in a Eutric Haplud and in West Java, Indonesia in five planting seasons from 2005 to 2007. The ten treatments and three replications, arranged in a completely randomized block design, included single or combined sources of organic fertilizers: barnyard manure, compos ts or green manures. The organic matter rates were adjusted every planting season depending on the previous crop responses. The result sshowed that the application of ${\geq}20$ t $ha^{-1}$ barnyard manure per crop resulted in positive balances of N, P, and K, except in the second crops of 2006 where potassium balance were -25 to -11 kg $ha^{-1}$ under the treatments involving cattle barnyard manure, because of low K content of these treatments and high K uptake by Chinese cabbage. Application of 20 to 25 t $ha^{-1}$ of plant residue or 5 t $ha^{-1}$ of Tithonia compost also resulted in a negative K balance. Soil available P increased significantly under ${\geq}25$ t $ha^{-1}$ barnyard manure and that under chicken manure had the highest available P. Accordingly, chicken barnyard manure gave the highest crop yield because of relatively higher N, P, and K contents. Plant residues gave the lowest yield due to the lowest nutrient content among all sources. Reducing the use of barnyard manure to 12.5 t $ha^{-1}$ and substituting it with Tithonia compost, Tithonia green manure or vegetable plant residue compost gave insignificantly different yield compared to the application of 25 t $ha^{-1}$ barnyard manure singly. In the long run, application of 25 t ha-1 cattle, goat, and horse manure or about 20 t $ha^{-1}$ chicken manure is recommendable for sustaining the fertility of this Andisol for vegetable production.

농경지내 유입된 다양한 양분원의 양분수지에 대한 정보는 농경지의 지속성을 평가하는데 매우 중요한 요인이다. 본 연구는 질소, 인산 및 칼리의 양분수지를 알아보기 위하여 2005년부터 2007년까지 5작기 동안 인도네시아 서자바섬 Eutric Hapludand에 있는 채소유기재배포장에서 수행되었다. 유기자원으로 우분, 염소분, 계분 및 마분 등 가축분퇴비, 티토니아, 식물잔사 및 크로타라리아 등 10개의 처리를 완전임의구획배치 3반복으로 하였으며, 유기자원의 시용량은 작물반응에 따라 매 작기별로 달리 처리되었다. 가축분퇴비를 ha당 20톤 이상 시용하였을 때, 질소, 인산 및 칼리에 대하여 양의 양분수지를 보였다. 식물잔사를 ha당 20~25톤 또는 티토니아 퇴비를 ha당 5톤 시용하였을 때, 칼리는 음의 양분수지를 나타냈다. 토양 중 유효인산함량은 ha당 25톤 이상의 가축분 퇴비처리에서 증가하였으며, 특히 계분퇴비구에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 결국, 작물의 수량은 질소, 인산 및 칼리함량이 높았던 계분퇴비구에서 가장 높았으며, 식물잔사처리구에서 가장 낮았다. 가축분퇴비의 ha당 12.5톤 시용, 가축분퇴비(12.5톤/ha)와 티토니아 혼합처리 및 티토니아와 식물잔사 혼합퇴비처리구의 작물수량은 ha당 25톤의 가축분퇴비를 시용한 처리구와 비교하였을 때 현저히 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 장기적인 관점으로 볼 때, ha당 25톤의 우분, 염소분 및 마분퇴비 또는 ha당 20톤의 계분퇴비 시용은 유기농 채소생산을 위해 필요로 하는 토양의 비옥도를 유지하는 것으로 판단되었다.
