토지이용별로 토양 물리성 변화를 평가하기 위하여 2009년부터 2017년까지 전국의 밭, 과수원, 논을 대상으로 토양물리성 특성을 4년 주기로 분석하였다. 밭은 작토심, 심토 유기물 함량, 심토 산중식 경도가 증가하고 심토 용적밀도가 감소하며, 개량기준 초과비율도 지속적으로 감소하였다. 과수원은 경운심이 증가하였으나 심토 유기물 함량이 감소하고 적정기준을 초과하는 비율은 4년 전보다 증가하였다. 논은 작토심, 심토 유기물 함량이 감소하고 심토 용적밀도가 증가하며 개량기준 초과비율이 증가하는 등 물리성 불량이 심화되었다. 최근 10년간 밭, 과수원에 비해 논의 물리성이 악화되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 공통적으로 심토 유기물 함량이 감소하고 심토 용적밀도가 증가하는 주요한 요인은 토양유기물로 평가되었다. 따라서 토양물리성 질 관리에 유기물은 중요한 요소이었으며, 특히 논에서 지속적인 유기물 관리와 경운방법 개선 등이 필요하다.

The roots of Platycodon grandiflorum has been widely used as a crude drug or a food stuff. Unfortunately, the output and the quality is not regular and highly dependent on the cultivation area and cultivation method. Therefore, seedling cultivation study of this plant under structure with various fertilizer supply was performed. As a result, significant big difference between ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen content was shown in the root at seedling stage while the difference was not significant in the aerial parts. Fresh weight of the root (7.73 g plant-1) was higher in the group treated with three major nutrients (N, P and K) than in those treated with three major nutrients and calcium or magnesium or both calcium and magnesium, and non-treated group (2.69 g plant-1). Total nitrogen content was recognized to be significantly correlated with root weight, plant height, number of leaves and weight of aerial parts. Ammonium nitrogen content was more correlated the growth of P. grandiflorum than nitrate nitrogen. For phosphoric acid, significant correlation was also shown with the four growth factors.

The study result survey platycodon cultivation regions of Jinju(2), Sacheon(4), Hapcheon(3), Haman(3), and Sancheong(3) of Gyongnam regarding chemical properties of soil, inorganic nitrogen phosphorus by type of composition is as follows: pH and EC value were highest where platycodon cultivated for under 3 years in soils. Content of O.M equal to or less than 25 mg kg-1, the average value for platycodoncultivation in korea. Content of exchangeable calcium in soils were 12, 14 cmol+kg-1 in Hapcheon and Haman regions where platycodon was cultivated for two years which is 2~3 time higher level compared with the average upland soil of korea. Water solution boron confirmed approximated level of 3.0 mg kg-1 in all survey regions, and the finding is about five times higher than average upland soil of korea which is 0.5 mg kg-1. In the case of nitrogen, a significant difference was found depending on cultivation regions and continuous culture. Content of nitrogen in soils were difference according to cultivation area and continuous culture. The composition ratio according to the type of inorganic phosphorus showed the highest in order of Al-P 〉 Ca-P 〉 Fe-P 〉 Saloid-P in all survey regions except for Hapcheon (five, seven years cultivated soils). The correlation showed high significance between available phosphate and inorganic phosphorus.
