This study was carried out to investigate the effects of cattle slurry application in paddy land cultivated with whole crop rice on the properties of soil and water. A field study was conducted at Baeksan-myeon, Kimje, Jeonbuk province in Korea on clay loam soil for 3 years. All plots were arranged in completely randomized design with three replicates. The contents of organic and inorganic properties in soil samples collected at the end of the experiment were remarkably higher than those at the beginning of the experiment (P＜0.05). The concentrations of NO₃-N, NH₃-N and PO₄-P in discharge and leaching water were different significantly between both treatments.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of cattle slurry application on the productivity and nutritive values of whole crop rice in paddy land. A field study was conducted at Baeksan-myeon, Kimje, Jeonbuk province in Korea on clay loam soil for 3 years. All plots were arranged in completely randomized design with three replicates. The yield of dry matter (DM) of whole crop rice in treatment of cattle slurry significantly decreased as compared with that of treatment of standard fertilizer (P＜0.05). However, nutritive values of whole crop rice were not different significantly between both treatments.

The experimental work was conducted to investigate the effects of the application level of composted cattle manure (CCM) on forage productivity using Italian ryegrass-WCR double cropping system for 3 years (2006~2008). Main plot was consisted of application level of CCM such as 150%, 200% and control plot. The total day matter yield (DMY) of Italian ryegrass and WCR in treatment of CCM 150% and CCM 200% significantly decreased as compared with that of treatment of chemical fertilizer (CF). However, NDF, AND and CP content of Italian rye grass and WCR were hardly influenced by CCM application.

The experimental work was conducted to investigate the effects of the application level of composted cattle manure (CCM) on forage productivity using rye-whole crop rice (WCR) double cropping system for 3 years. Main plot was consisted of application level of CCM such as 150%, 200% and control plot. The total DMY of of rye-WCR in treatment of CCM 150% significantly decreased as compared with that of treatment of CF and CCM 200%. However, NDF, ADF and CP content of rye and WCR were hardly influenced by CCM application.
