Abstract
Weed control using cover crops has advantages of agricultural and environmental aspects which prevent soil erosion, nitrogen supply, improving soil physical properties, reduction of nitrate leaching, organic supply and control of weed occurrence. In this study, we evaluated the inhibitory effects of cover crops on the weed occurrence, growth and yield of soybean in cover crop-soybean cropping system. The treatments were consisted of 4 different mulching system such as crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum) residue, hairy vetch (Vicia villosa) residue, rye (Secale cereale) residue and Polyethylene plastic(P.E.) mulch with no mulch treatment (control). Three cover crops were grown throughout the winter and were cut in next spring. And then 13 days old soybean seedlings were transplanted in each treatment field on $4^{th}$ June. Crimson clover, hairy vetch and rye mulch treatments reduced weeds density compared to control (73.0%, 98.0% and 85.3% respectively), on $26^{th}$ May. However, weed inhibition rate of crimson clover mulch treatment was sharply decreased to 4.17% on $6^{th}$ August, while hairy vetch and rye mulch treatments were continued high weed inhibition rate with 87.6% and 72.0% respectively. There was no inhibition effect of perennial, winter annual and broadleaf weeds inhibition in crimson clover mulch treatment. Height of soybean in crimson clover, hairy vetch and P.E. mulch treatment was 6.9%, 20.2% and 22.0% higher than that of control. But height of soybean in rye mulch treatment was lower than control on $13^{th}$ July. At harvesting, yields of soybean were in order of hairy vetch mulch treatment${\fallingdotseq}$ P.E. mulch treatment > crimson clover mulch treatment ${\fallingdotseq}$ rye mulch treatment > control.
본 연구는 콩 재배시 동계 피복작물인 크림손클로버, 헤어리벳치, 호밀의 예취물 피복이 잡초발생과 콩생육 및 수량에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시되었다. 연구 결과 크림손클로버, 호밀, 헤어리벳치 피복구에서 모두 이른 봄 잡초 억제율이 높았으며, 콩 정식 64일 후에도 헤어리벳치 피복구는 87.6%, 호밀 피복구는 72.0%로 콩의 초관이 형성될 때까지 높은 잡초억제율이 유지되었다. 그러나 크림손클로버 피복구는 시간에 흐름에 따라 잡초억제율 감소폭이 커서 여름잡초가 많이 발생한 콩 정식 64일 후에는 4.1%로 현저하게 감소되었다. 헤어리벳치 피복구는 월년생과 다년생잡초에 대한 억제율이 98.2%로 가장 높았고, 호밀 피복구는 광엽잡초 억제율이 57.6%인 반면, 화본과잡초 억제율은 93.8%로 광엽잡초 보다 화본과 잡초에 대한 억제 효과가 높았다. 크림손클로버 피복구에서는 다년생과 월년생잡초 억제효과가 거의 없었으며, 광엽잡초에 대한 억제효과도 없었다. 콩의 후기 영양생장기에 초장을 조사한 결과 무피복에 비해 크림손클로버, 헤어리벳치, 비닐 피복구에서 각각 6.9%, 20.2%, 22.0% 초장이 더 길었으나, 호밀 피복구는 오히려 초장이 짧았다. 콩의 입비대시에는 호밀 피복구의 콩 생육이 다소 회복이 되었으며, 수확기때 콩 수량은 헤어리벳치 피복구 ${\fallingdotseq}$ 비닐 피복구 > 크림손클로버 피복구 ${\fallingdotseq}$ 호밀 피복구 > 무피복구 순이었다.
