약용작물(藥用作物)중 재배 면적이 많고 소득성(所得性)이 높은 다년생(多年生)의 초본성 작물인 황기의 1~2년생근(年生根) 재배시 헤어리베치 녹비와 액상분뇨 시용이 황기의 생육특주(生育特注) 및 생산성(生産性)과 토양(土壤) 특성에 미치는 영향을 검토한 시험결과를 요약하면 아래와 같다. 1. 지상부 생육 중 경장(莖長)과 분지수(分枝數)는 헤어리베치 녹비, 액상분뇨 시용구에서 생장량이 컸으며, 생육이 늦게까지 지속되었다. 근장(根長), 근경(根徑), 지근수(支根數) 모두 헤어리베치 녹비와 액상분뇨 시용구에서 증가하는 경향이었으며 건물비율(乾物比率) 재배 1년차 보다 재배 2년차에 증가하였다. 2. 재배 2년차의 건근수양(乾根收量)은 녹비를 피복한 무비구, 화학비료, 액상분뇨 시용구에서 각각 196, 240, 255kg/10a으로서 녹비를 피복하지 않는 무비구, 화학비료, 액상분뇨 시용구에서는 각각 115, 225, 232 kg/10a 보다 증수되었다. 황기 재배시 헤어리베치 녹비 피복은 질소공급에 의한 수량증가와 잡초억제 효과를 나타내었다. 3.뿌리의 질소함양(窒素含量)은 재배 1년차에 1.33~2.56%, 재배 2년차에 1.9~2.95%으로 재배 년차가 높을수록 증가(增加)되었다. 질소함량을 조단백질 함량으로 환산하면 재배 2년차에 20~23%로서 콩 단백질 함량의 45~65% 수준이었다. 4. 시험 후 토양의 총 질소함량은 녹비 액상분뇨 시용구에서 유의성 있게 증가하였으나 토양 내 염류집적(鹽類集積)은 되지 않았다.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of the mulching of hairy vetch and pig manure on the growth, yield and crude protein contents of the mulching of hairy vetch and application of animal slurry were treated and investigated in 2000~2002. At the first year of cultivation, there were no differences among the treatments in plant height, but second year the growth of plants increased and continued over long times as the hairy vetch mulched and fertilized. The length and diameter of plant root were increased in the plot of hairy vetch mulching and the application of animal slurry. At first year of cultivation, no clear difference was found for among the treatments on dry weight and dry matter ratio in roots. At second year of cultivation, they were increased at in the plot of mulching and fertilizer treatment. The appearances of weeds in the field on Astragalus membranaces were much lower on the plots of live-mulching of hairy vetch than those on the control. The yield of root was 255kg highest in the plot of mulching and animal slurry application of 2-year-old roots. The root yield of Astragalus membranaces was increased about 8~10% compared to that with control, due to supply of nutrients. During the cultivation times, organic matters and N contents in soil increased by the mulching of hairy vetch and the application of animal slurry. The concentration of K, Ca concentration in soil showed a tendency to increase.
