The data from the fertilizer experiments from 1974 to 1981 were compiled and interpretation were made as to the effect of soil fertility on the quality and yield of cured tobacco supplied with conventional rate (10-15-20, 125Kg/10a). With high soil fertility, the yield of tobacco with conventional rate increased in quadratic curve, but the quality decreased. The results indicate that soil which can produce 81Kg/10a of flue-cured tobacco without fertilizer application would be optimum to the 125Kg/10a fertilizer application. On the other hand, Flue-cured tobacco yields of non-fertilizer plot are supposed to be fertility of determining the application rate which can be recommended.

The fertility which is the combined factor is one of the important capability determiants of paddy soils. In this study, we aimed at attaining a quantitative evaluation of soil fertility and further establishing an objective fertility classification on the basis of the fertility evaluation. The samples used in this series studies were collected from Korean paddy field. They include deltas, flood plains, coastal plains, valley plains, fans and low terraces. On the basis of correlation analysis, factor analysis was applied to a set of 15 variables. As a result of factor analysis, five mutually independent and clearly definable fertility component factors were extracted from the 15 variables for the whole 90 surface soil samples. The fertility status of each sample soil could be objectively designated by the score of the five factors. As a means of summarizing the information obtained, taxonomic distances between all pairs of the samples were computed from these five factor scores further to be subjected to numerical taxonomy. Seven fertility groups were formulated, each of which was characterized by one or more of the fertility components. As this fertility classification was based on the present state of soil properties, it would be useful in pointing to the proper direction of further fertility amelioration and improvement for each group to enhance potential productivity of Korean paddy fields.

24 cultivation areas at fields of the Tobacco Experiment Station in Suweon, Eumseong, and Daegu were selected to get the fertilizer response and evaluate fertility level of upland soil. Fertilizer levels treated were 0, 70, 100, and 130kg/10a of compound fertilizer (10-10-20) for tobacco. The results are as follows; 1. Fertility level could be evaluated by dry weight of tobacco loaves harvested from non-fertilized fields. 2. There was significant in yield differences between fertilizer levels of 70 and 100kg/10a but was no difference between 100 and 130kg/10a of fertilizer level. The lower fertilizer efficiencies were showed at the fields harvested high yield of tobacco leaf without fertilizer. 3. Optimum fertilizer level for non-fertilized field with leaf yield less than 208.5kg/10a was 100kg/10a, and at low productive field with dry leaf weight less than 33.3kg/10a, higher level of fertilizer, 130kg/10a, was considered to be the optimum to get the got income with tobacco cultivation.

In agricultural field experiments, the completely randomized block design is often used for the analysis of variety trials. An important assumption is that every experimental unit in each block has the some fertility. But, in most agricultural field experiments there often exists a systematic heterogeneity in fertility among the experimental units. To account for the heterogeneity, we propose to use the hierarchical generalized linear models. We compare our analysis of the data from Scottish Agricultural colleges list with that using Markov chain Monte Carlo method.

동일한 포장내에서도 위치별로 토성과 비옥도에 따른 수확량에 서로 차이가 있으나 현재는 비료와 농약 등을 전체 포장에 대하여 동일한 기준으로 다량 살포하고 있어 농자재의 과다투입에 의한 환경오염이 초래되고 있다. 이러한 불합리한 영농을 배제하고 친환경적인 정밀농업을 구현하기 위해서는 작물재배 환경에 따른 포장 각 지점의 수확량을 정확히 계측하여, 수확량과 토성이나 토양의 비옥도, 생육상태, 균평도 등과 같은 포장정보들 사이의 상관관계를 분석하여 비료 농약의 적절한 투입량을 결정하는 것이 필요하다. (중략)

Two-year experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of phosphorous, lime, increased compost, and/or boron application on the yield and quality of leaf tobacco growm in the results are summarized as follows; 1) Compared to the conventional treatment, plants grown in the treated plots in the second year showed much better growth and their yield components such as leaf area index and unit leaf weight were much greater. 2) At the end of first year crop, the pH and amount of exchangeable cations in the treated plots reached those in mature soil, but the amount of organic matter and of available phosphorous were still below those of the mature soil. Application of additional compost was more effective in enhancing soil fertility than was additional phosphorous application. 3) The yield of tobacco grown in the second year was 15-20% higher in the treated plots, compared to conventional plot, with high statistical significance. Though the quality of leaf tobacco was not significantly different among treatments, the increase of 3-7% was obtained in the treated plot. The highest total income(yield x price/kg) came from the plot treated with additional compost and phosphorous application (adjusted at 3% level on the basis of phosphorous absorption coefficient), which produced 34% more than the conventional plot.

Field experiments were conducted in the 101 tobacco fields(51 fields in 1985 and 50 fields in 1986) of chief tobacco producing counties of Chungbuk province(Jincheon, Eumseong, Goesan, and Joongweon counties), Chungnam province(Cheonweon county), and Kyongbuk province (Cheongdo, Seongju, and Andong counties) for two years from 1985 to 1986 in order to evaluate soil fertility using chemical properties and soil map database. Pot experiments also on the same soils were conducted and the results were compared to those of field experiments. The yield of tobacco in the plots of no fertilization was considered as a basic factor representing the soil fertility and was evaluated by nineteen independent variables, that was 9 chemical properties and 10 soil map databases. These independent variables were classified into two groups, 11 quantitative indexes and 9 qualitative indexes, and were analyzed by multiple linear regression(MLR) of SAS by REG and GLM models. The yield of tobacco in the plot of no fertilization showed high variations, e.g. the difference between minimum and maximum yields was about 5.0-5.5 times in the pot experiment and 8.2-14.9 times in the field experiment. The indexes indicating close link between yield of tobacco and soil chemical indexes, was selected but it was not well matched by the years or between pot and field experiments. Also, the standardized partial regression coefficients of quantitative indexes for the yield of field were less than 1.0, suggesting that it is difficult to develop an available single index for the evaluation of soil fertility. Evaluation for the soil fertility of field by MLR was better than that of single regression and it was gradually improved by adding chemical properties, quantitative indexes, and qualitative indexes of soil map. For example, the coefficient of determination ($R^2$) of MLR for the yield of 1985 was increased to 0.422 with chemical indexes, 0.503 by addition of quantitative indexes, and 0.633 by the additional adding of qualitative indexes of soil map, compared to 0.244 of single index, $NO_3-N$ content of soil. Consequently, it is assumed that this approach by MLR with quantitative and qualitative indexes including chemical properties and soil map databases was available as an evaluation model of soil fertility for tobacco field.
