The effect of soil water content on the transformation potential of N compounds derived from hydrolysis of urea applied in a reclaimed tidal soils which was saline-sodic was observed to evaluate nitrification rates of urea. Soil samples were collected from Moonpo series at the newly reclaimed area in Saemanguem. For the transformation potential of N compounds from urea (46% N), newly reclaimed tidal soils (RS) were amended with urea at the rates of 0, 10, and 20 kg $10a^{-1}$. With leachate obtained from the incubated RS in a leaching tube at $25^{\circ}C$, urea hydrolysis and nitrification were measured for a total of 30days. The cumulative amounts of $NO_3{^-}$-N in each of the four soils treated with urea was linear with time of incubation. Results showed that increase in pH occurred with increasing application rate of urea and volumetric water content due to hydrolysis of urea. The total N in the RS was decreased with incubation time, indicating that rates of urea hydrolysis was influenced by soil moisture conditions. Also, the cumulative amount of nitrate in RS gradually increased with increase in time of incubation.

Heavy metal pollution has been a critical problem in agricultural field near at the abandoned metal mines and chemical amendments are applied for remediation purpose. However, biological activity can be changed depending on chemical amendments affecting crop productivity. Main purpose of this research was to evaluate biological parameters after applying chemical amendments in heavy metal polluted agricultural field. Result showed that soil respiration (SR) and microbial biomass carbon (MBC) were changed after chemical amendments were applied. Among three different amendments, lime stone (LS), steel slag (SS), and acid mine drainage sludge(AMDS), AMDS had an effect to increase SR in paddy soil. Comparing to control ($93.98-170.33mg\;kg^{-1}day^{-1}$), average of 30% increased SR was observed. In terms of MBC, SS had an increased effect in paddy soil. However, no significant difference of SR and MBC was observed in upland soil after chemical amendment application. Overall, SR can be used as an indicator of heavy metal remediation in paddy soil.

The relative focus about phosphorus (P) which causes eutrophication characterized by increased growth of undesirable algae has increased in recent years. Phosphorus forms in soil and water include both organic and inorganic forms. There are also a large number of soil P determination methods that have been designed to account for various types of P and mechanisms controlling the chemistry of P in soil, water, and residual materials for environmentally relevant forms of P. However, phosphorus forms in soil, water, and residual materials are also difficult to standardize with any reasonable consensus, due to the number of different disciplines involved. Hence, it is essential to accurately define how P can be measured in soil, water, or residual material samples to avoid potential misinterpretations or inappropriate recommendations in determining amount and types of P. Therefore, we reviewed the testing methods which have appeared in the scientific literature to provide an overview of the soil test P most commonly used.

High salinity and sodicity of soils play a negative role in producing crops in reclaimed tidal lands. To evaluate the effects of soil ameliorants on salt removal in a highly saline and sodic soil of reclaimed tidal land, we conducted a column experiment with treating gypsum, compost, and phosphate at 0-2 cm depth and measured the salt concentration of leachate and soil. Electrical conductivity of leachate was $45-48dSm^{-1}$ at 1 pore volume (PV) of water and decreased to less than $3dSm^{-1}$ at 3 PV of water. Gypsum significantly decreased SAR (sodium adsorption ratio) of leachate below 3 at 3 PV of water and soil ESP (exchangeable sodium percentage) below 3% for the whole profile of soil column. Compost significantly decreased ESP of soil at 0-5 cm depth to 5% compared with the control (20%). However, compost affected little the composition of cations below a depth of 5 cm and in leachate compared with control treatment. It was concluded that gypsum was effective in ameliorating reclaimed tidal lands at and below a soil layer receiving gypsum while compost worked only at a soil layer where compost was treated.

Pakistan depends heavily on imports for its fuel requirements. In this experiment, catalytic pyrolysis of a blend of feedstock's consisting of date seed, wheat straw, and corn cob was conducted in a fixed bed reactor to produce oil that can be used as an alternative fuel. The main focus was to emphasize the outcome of important variables on the produced oil. The effects of operating conditions on the yield of bio-oil were studied by changing temperature (350-500 ℃), heating rate (10, 15, 20 ℃/min), and particle size (1, 2, 3 mm). Moreover, ZnO was used as a catalyst in the process. First, the thermal degradation of the feedstock was investigated by TGA and DTG analysis at 10 ℃/min of different particle sizes of 1, 2, and 3mm from a temperature range of 0 to 1000 ℃. The optimum temperature was found to be 450 ℃ for maximum degradation, and the oil yield was indicated to be around 37%. It was deduced from the experiment that the maximum production of bio-oil was 32.21% at a temperature of 450 ℃, a particle size of 1mm, and a heating rate of 15 ℃/min. When using the catalyst under the same operating conditions, the bio-oil production increased to 41.05%. The heating value of the produced oil was 22 MJ/kg compared to low-quality biodiesel oil, which could be used as a fuel.

Many infectious diseases have emerged or re-emerged during the past 50 years in South Korea. There were three outbreaks of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in South Korea between January 2010 and March 2011. Over 3.45 million animals were slaughtered (33.3% of the existing pigs, 8.4% of dairy cows and 3.4% of cattle). To select optimal degradation agents of animal cadavers, degradation rates and fertilizer components of pig cadavers were investigated using hydrogen chloride (HCl), potassium hydroxide (KOH) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) hydrolysis methods. Degradation rates of pig cadavers using HCl, KOH and NaOH were 81.1, 82.8 and 91.6%, respectively. Total nitrogen (T-N) concentration in degradation solution of pig cadavers using KOH hydrolysis method was higher than that in NaOH and HCl hydrolysis methods. Total phosphorus ($P_2O_5$) concentrations in degradation solution of pig cadavers in all hydrolysis methods ranged 0.14 ~ 0.28%. Total potassium ($K_2O$) concentration for KOH hydrolysis method was higher than that for other hydrolysis methods. The concentration of T-N and $K_2O$ in degradation solution of pig cadavers by KOH hydrolysis method were higher than that in NaOH and HCl hydrolysis methods. Thus, to recycle animal cadavers in agriculture, the optimal degradation agent for hydrolysis was KOH.

본 연구는 랜더링처리 가축사체 부산물의 농업적 재활용을 위한 퇴비화의 최적 톱밥 혼합조건을 구명하기 위하여 랜더링처리 가축사체와 톱밥의 비율을 100 : 0, 50 : 50 및 30 : 70으로 혼합하여 퇴비화 초기의 물질변환과 퇴비화 완료 후 퇴비 품질을 조사하였다. 퇴비의 온도, pH, Ammonia 및 $CO_2$의 발생은 시험개시 3일째 급격히 증가하였으며, 그 이후 시간이 지남에 따라 감소하였고, 유기물함량은 각각의 혼합비율에서 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 랜더링처리 가축사체와 톱밥의 비율이 100 : 0 처리구에서는 퇴비화의 진행속도가 느리거나 온도가 적정수준까지 상승하지 못하는 등의 문제점이 발생하였고, 30 : 70 처리구에서는 퇴비화 과정에서 유기물대 질소비가 부산물비료 공정규격 50이하를 충족시키지 못하였다. 따라서 랜더링처리 가축사체와 톱밥의 혼합비율은 100 : 0과 30 : 70에 비해서 50 : 50이 가장 적합하였다. 랜더링처리 가축사체와 톱밥을 50 : 50으로 혼합하여 제조된 퇴비의 유기물 규격함량과 유해물질(As, Cd, Cu, Cr, Hg, Ni, Pb 및 Zn)의 함량 및 그 밖의 규격 (유기물대질소비, 염분함량 및 수분함량)을 조사한 결과 비료 공정규격을 충족시키는 결과를 나타내었고, 추후 퇴비의 상품화를 위해서는 병원성 미생물, 대장균, 살모넬라균 및 부숙도 조사를 통한 안전성 검토가 추가적으로 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문은 청보리와 헤어리베치 단작 및 혼작 재배지에서 돈분액비 시용이 녹비의 생육과 biomass에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 단작 재배지에서 녹비작물의 초장은 LPM 3.3 처리구에서 가장 길었으며, 혼작 재배지에서는 LPM 6.6 처리구에서 가장 길었다. 단작 재배지에서 녹비작물의 biomass는 질소 시비량의 전량 100%에 해당하는 LPM 3.3 처리구에서 최대생육을 나타냈으며, 질소 시비량의 전량 200%에 해당하는 LPM 6.6은 돈분액비의 과잉시용으로 인해 biomass가 낮게 조사된 것으로 판단된다. 혼작 재배지에서는 질소 시비량의 전량 200%에 해당하는 LPM 6.6 처리구가 LPM 3.3 처리구에 비해 높은 biomass를 나타내었으며, 이는 단작 재배와 달리 혼작 재배에서는 청보리 및 헤어리베치의 양분 요구도가 증가했기 때문이라고 판단된다. 따라서 돈분액비 최적 투입량은 청보리와 헤어리베치 단작재배의 경우 $3.30Mg\;10a^{-1}$ 정도이었고, 청보리와 헤어리베치 혼작재배의 경우 $6.60Mg\;10a^{-1}$ 정도이었다.

Among the major nutrients, phosphorus is by far the least mobile and available to plants in most soil conditions. A large portion of soluble inorganic phosphate applied to soil in the form of phosphate fertilizers is immobilized rapidly and becomes unavailable to plants. To improve the plant growth and yield and to minimize P loss from soils, the ability of a few soil microorganisms converting insoluble forms into soluble forms for phosphorus is an important trait in several plant growth-promoting microorganisms belonging to the genera Bacillus and Pseudomonas and the fungi belonging to the genera Penicillium and Aspergillus in managing soil phosphorus. The principal mechanism of solubilization of mineral phosphate by phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) is the release of low molecular weight organic acids such as formic, acetic, propionic, lactic, glycolic, fumaric, and succinic acids and acidic phosphatases like phytase synthesized by soil microorganisms in soil. Hydroxyl and carboxyl groups from the organic acids can chelate the cations bound to phosphate, thereby converting it into soluble forms.
