Abstract

The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of various clay materials on the growth and change in mineral composition of soybean sprout. Further effect of sericite concentration on growth of soybean sprout was optimized. The experiments were carried by using three different viz., loess supernatant, tap water and sericite supernatant. From the obtained results it was found that a significant growth in soybean sprouts was observed while using sericite supernatant this growth was 14.71% and 50% more total growth than that of loess supernatant and tap water. In addition, using sericite supernatant the length of root of soybean sprouts was reached 17.30% and 36.50% longer than that of tap water and loess supernatant. The plausible reason for this growth using sericite supernatant may be due to the presence of various mineral($K^+$, $Ca^+$) in sericite. Further the mineral contents of sericite supernatant were 11.56% and 13.48% more than that for loess supernatant and tap water. Among the various sericite concentration used it was found that 100g/L sericite supernatant showed significant growth rate compared with other fractions. From the obtained results comparing with all materials 100g/L sericite concentration was economic for the cultivation of soybean sprout.

본 연구에서는 점토광물인 황토 지장수와 견운모 상등액을 이용하여 콩나물의 생장률과 무기이온의 함량을 비교하고자 하였다. 실험결과 콩나물의 총 길이는 견운모 상등액 콩나물이 황토 지장수에 비해 14.71%, 수돗물에 비해 50% 길었다. 또한 뿌리의 길이는 견운모 상등액 콩나물의 뿌리가 황토 지장수에 비해 36.05%, 수돗물에 비해 17.30% 길었다. 이는 견운모에 함유되어 있는 $K^+$ 성분과 미네랄이 식물의 뿌리에 작용하여 줄기도 윤기가 있게 성장을 한 것 같다. 견운모 상등액 콩나물의 경우 황토지장수로 재배한 콩나물에 비해 11.56%, 수돗물과 비교하여 13.48%의 많은 미네랄을 함유하고 있었다. 다양한 견운모의 농도를 이용하여 콩나물의 생장률과 미네랄 흡수량을 비교한 결과 100g/L의 농도에서 가장 좋은 생장률을 나타내었고, 미네랄의 흡수량은 100g/L와 200g/L가 비슷하여 경제적인 면을 고려한다면 100g/L의 농도가 콩나물을 재배하는데 적합하다고 생각된다.
