This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of combining acidification with adsorbents (zeolite and biochar) to mitigate the environmental impacts of pig slurry, focusing on ammonia (NH3) emission and nitrate (NO3 -) leaching. The four treatments were applied: 1) pig slurry (PS) alone as a control, 2) acidified PS (AP), 3) acidified pig slurry with zeolite (APZ), and 4) acidified pig slurry with biochar (APB). The AP mitigates NH3 emission and NO3 - leaching compared to PS alone. Acidification reduced the cumulative NH3 emission and its emission factor by 35.9% and 12.5%, respectively. The APZ and APB increased NH4 +-N concentration, with the highest level in APB, compared to AP. The NH4 + adsorption capacity of APB (0.90 mg g-1) was higher than that of APZ (0.63 mg g-1). The APB and APZ treatments induced less NH3 emission compared to AP. The cumulative NH3 emission was reduced by 12.2% and 27.6% in APZ and APB, respectively, compared to AP treatment. NO3 - leaching began to appear on days 12 and 13, and its peak reached on days 16 and 17, which were later than AP. The cumulative NO3 - leaching decreased by 17.7% and 25.0% in APZ and APB, respectively, compared to AP treatment. These results suggest that combining biochar or zeolite with acidified pig slurry is an effective method to mitigate NH3 emission and NO3 - leaching, with biochar being particularly effective.

This study was conducted to figure out the productivity of Italian ryegrass(IRG) and leaching water characteristics based on horse manure compost level in Jeju. This study was conducted for about six months. Six treatments were established : non-fertilizer(NF), chemical fertilizer 100%(CF), horse manure compost 50% and chemical fertilizer 50% combination(Combination), horse manure compost with 50% of nitrogen (50%), 100% of nitrogen(100%), 150% of nitrogen(150%). The highest amount of dry matter yield of IRG was revealed in CF(11,965± 564 kg/ha), and both 150% and Combination were second(p<0.05). Nitrate leaching tended to increase until the third analysis and then decreased. There were not significantly differences among mean nitrate concentrations. The findings of the study suggest that horse manure compost with 50% of nitrogen be applied for IRG as basal fertilization and then 50% of chemical fertilizer be applied as top fertilization.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of slow release fertilizers (SRF), crotonylidene diurea (CDU) and latex coated urea (LCU), on nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) and nitrate-N leaching in a silty clay loam soil under polyethylene film mulching (PFM) for sesame cultivation. In PFM plot, concentrations of NO3-N and NH4-N in SRF applied soils were less than that in the urea plot during the whole growing period. However, NO3-N and NH4-N in all the non-mulched plots (NM) were not significantly different. Urea-N in soil treated with SRF was higher than urea plot until 50 days after application and was comparable in all the treatments after 50 days. NO3-N concentrations in leached solution in 21 days after urea fertilization in PFM and NM were 26 mg L-1 and 83 mg L-1 , respectively. However, NO3-N in leached solution at applied CDU and LCU was less than that of urea similar to nitrate concentration in soil. NO3-N in leached solution in applied CDU and LCU in 44 days after application was about 25% lower than that urea plot and PFM, while the NO3-N concentration of CDU and LCU treatment in NM did not changed. Application of SRF increased the yield of sesame and N recovery compared to urea and there was a little difference between SRF and N levels. In conclusion, application of 80% N level with SRF increased N recovery and reduced nitrate leaching without reduction of yields compared with urea application.

겨울보리 재배 시 질소시비 수준를 달리한 0~30cm, 30~60cm, 60~90cm 근권깊이별 NO3-N 함량의 경시적 동적 변화를 추적하고 이를 토대로 시료채취 근권깊이를 달리하는 몇몇 토양진단법에 의한 적정 추비량 결정의 국내 적용의 적절성 여부를 검토한 결과, 1 기비 및 추비로 시용된 질소가 표토층으로부터 서서히 심층 하층토로 용탈, 집적되고 있었는데 이는 근권깊이별 NO3- -N 농도보다 NO3- -N 함량을 계산할 때에 더욱 명확하였다. 2. 추비직전인 2월말 0~90cm 근권층에서의 NO3- -N 함량은 기비로 시용한 질소시용 량에 따른 토양내의 NO3- -N 함량도 비례하여 높아져 기 비 시 용량 차이 가 데 체로 반영 하였으나 0~30cm 근권상층부에서의 NO3- -N 함량은 기비시용량을 전혀 반영시켜 주지 못하였다. 추비시용 이후의 토양깊이별 NO3- -N 함량의 경시적 차이 역시 0~30cm에 비해 0~90cm 근권층에서 질소시비량간 차이가 뚜렷하였다. 3. 0~90cm 근권깊이의 NO3- -N 함량에 따라 질소추비량을 결정하는 Nmin- method에 의해 계산된 질소추비량은 무비구, 보비구, 배비구에서 기비시용량이 많을수록 질소추비량은 80.6, 40.0, 10.1kg/ha로 낮았으며, 보비 구의 경 우 질소추천추비량 60kg/ha보다 20kg/ha 정도 낮았다. 한편 0~30cm 토양진단에 따른 질소추비량은 각 처리구에서 추천시비량의 1차 질소추비량과는 비슷하여 기비처리 수준에 따른 질소추비량 차이가 전혀 없었다. 4. 0~30cm, 0~60cm, 0~90cm 근권 NO3- -N 함량과 수량과의 관계를 비교한 결과 0~90cm근권 NO3- -N 함량만이 수량과 높은 정의 상관관계를 나타내 Nmin 토양진단법이 적절하였다. 한편 0~90cm 근권 NO3- -N 함량이 120kg/ha일 때 수량이 최고에 도달하였다.
