Abstract

Efficacy of antifungal activity on plant pathogens by compost teas fermented under different temperatures was studied. Compost teas are recently chosen by agricultural producers for the better method of controlling plant diseases under increase of public consciousness against use of chemicals for controlling the diseases. Compost tea has been intensively studied; however, understanding of compost tea is still not well developed, and temperature influence during fermentation of compost tea on its antifungal activity has not been investigated. In this study, antifungal activities of compost teas fermented at 10, 20, 30, and $40^{\circ}C$ against selected 10 pathogens were observed. From the results, antifungal activities of compost teas at 20 and $30^{\circ}C$ of fermentation-temperatures showed the strongest while the weakest activity was observed with the compost tea at $10^{\circ}C$. Change of the activity by the fermentation-temperature apparently implied that microbes in the compost tea were strongly involved in its antifungal activity.

본 논문에서는 다양한 온도조건에서 발효한 퇴비차의 항진균 효능에 관한 연구내용을 제시하였다. 최근에 많은 농가에서 일반 대중의 친환경 농산물에 대한 선호에 부응하고 식물병 예방을 위하여 퇴비차를 선택하고 있다. 퇴비차에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되었으나 아직 퇴비차에 대한 이해가 부족하고 퇴비차가 발효되는 동안 온도가 항진균 효과에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 없었다. 본 연구에서는 10, 20, 30, $40^{\circ}C$에서 발효한 퇴비차의 항진균 활동이 본 연구에서 선정한 10종의 병원성 미생물에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 결과에 따르면 20에서 $30^{\circ}C$에서 발효한 퇴비차의 항진균 활동이 가장 강한 것으로 나타났으며 $10^{\circ}C$에서 발효한 퇴비차가 가장 약한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 발효온도가 항진균 활동에 미치는 변화는 퇴비차의 미생물이 항진균 활동에 강하게 개입하고 있음을 시사해주고 있다.
