Abstract

BACKGROUND: Coal combustion bottom ash(BA) has high carbon and calcium content, and alkaline pH, which might improve nutrient cycling in soil related to microbial enzyme activities as it is used as soil amendment. However, it contains heavy metals such as copper(Cu), manganese (Mn), and zinc(Zn), which could cause heavy metals accumulation in soil. Compost might play a role that stabilize BA. The objective of this study was to evaluate effect of combined application of BA and compost as soil amendment on heavy metals concentration, enzyme activities, chemical properties, and crop yield in upland soil. METHODS AND RESULTS: BA was applied at the rate of 0, 20, 40, and 80 Mg/ha under different rate of compost application (0 and 30 Mg/ha) in radish (Raphanus sativus var) field. Combined application of BA and compost more improved chemical properties such as pH, EC, OM, total nitrogen, available phosphate, and exchangeable cations of soil than single application of BA. Water soluble Mn and Zn concentration in soil significantly decreased with increasing application rate of BA. Decrease in those metals concentration was accelerated with combined application of BA and compost. Urease and dehydrogenase activities significantly increased with increasing application rate of BA. Phosphotase activities were not affected with single application of BA but increased with combined application of BA and compost. Radish yield was not affected by application rate of BA. CONCLUSION: From the above results, combined application of BA and compost could be used as soil amendment to improve chemical properties and enzyme activities of soil without increase in heavy metal concentration and decrease in crop yield in upland soil.

본 연구는 바닥재의 농업적 활용성을 증대시키기 위해 바닥재의 안정화 제재로써 축분퇴비를 선발하였고 알타리무의 재배토양에서 바닥재와 축분퇴비의 혼합 시용량에 따른 토양의 화학적 특성, 토양 내 중금속의 함량, 효소활성의 변화 및 알타리무의 수량을 조사하기 위해 실시되었다. 바닥재를 단독으로 시용하였을 때 보다 바닥재와 축분퇴비를 혼합 시용하였을 때 토양의 화학적 특성이 더욱 우수하게 개량되어지는 결과를 나타내었다. 바닥재의 시용량을 증가시킴에 따라 토양 내 수용성 망간과 아연의 함량이 유의적으로 감소하였으며 이러한 효과는 바닥재와 축분퇴비를 혼합 시용하였을 때 더욱 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 바닥재의 시용량 증가는 알타리무 수확 후 토양 내 urease의 활성을 유의적으로 증가시켰다. 바닥재의 단독시용에 비해 바닥재와 축분퇴비의 혼합시용은 urease, dehydrogenase, acidic phosphotase 및 alkaline phosphotase의 활성을 더욱 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 바닥재와 축분퇴비의 혼합시용은 알타리무의 수량 감소를 초래하지 않았으며 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었지만 수량의 증수를 보였다. 결론적으로 바닥재는 축분퇴비와 혼합하여 사용된다면 밭토양 내 중금속 함량의 증대와 작물수량의 감소 없이 토양의 화학적 특성과 효소활성을 개량할 수 있는 것으로 조사되었다.
