This study was carried out to determine the effects of lime(0, 300 kg/lOa) and phosphate application( 0, 20, 40, 80 kg/lOa) on mineral contents in herbage when 5 pasture species(orchardgrass, tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, redtop and ladino clover) were

The adsorption and leaching of organophosphorus pesticides (phenthoate, diazinon, methidathion) were investigated in Namwon soil(black volcanic soil), Aewol soil(very dark brown volcanic soil) and Mureung soil(dark brown nonvolcanic soil) sampled in Cheju Island. The Freundlich constant, K value, was 52.4, 31.3 and 27.7 for phenthoate, diazinon and methidathion in Namwon soil, respectively and decreased in the order of phenthoate, diazinon and methidathion among the pesticides. The K value of phenthoate was 52.4, 15.9 and 5.9 for Namwon, Aewol and Mureung soil, respectively and was the highest for Namwon soil with very high organic matter content and cation exchange capacity(CEC). The Freundlich constant, 1/n, showed a high correlation with organic matter content, i.e., its value was less than unity for organic matter rich soil(Namwon soil) and greater than unity for organic matter poor soil(Mureung soil). Total recoveries of pesticides in soil and leachate with leaching in soil column, were in the range of about 74∼86%. The leaching of pesticides was less for phenthate with high K values, and more for methidathion with low K values among the pesticides. It was slower for Namwon soil with high K values, and faster for Mureung soil with low K values among the soils.

In order to investigate the adsorption characteristics of organochlorine pesticides chlorothalonil and dicofol with soil colors and regions for soils of an orange orchard, the soils were sampled at 3 regions, respectively, among black volcanic, dark brown volcanic, and brown nonvolcanic soils. Every soil has a higher clay proportion (49-75%) in soil texture and the organic carbon content and cation exchange capacity with soil decreased in the following sequence: Black volcanic > Dark brown volcanic > Brown nonvolcanic soils. Especially those in black volcanic soils were much higher than others. The retention time, quantitative detection limit, and extractian, efficiencies of chlorothalonil and dicofol were 2.82min, 1.5ng/mL, 93.6% and 3.64min, 4.5ng/mL, 94.2%, repectively. The Freundlich constant, Kd, was higher in dicofol compared to chlorothalonil and in the black volcanic soils that have higher organic carbon content and cation exchange capacity. The Freundlich constant, 1/n, was in the range of 0.76-0.89 in the black volcanic soils that have a higher organic matter(16.4-19.8%), whereas it was in the range of 1.02-1.13 in the brown nonvolcanic soils that have a lower organic matter(2.4-3.4%), and so it was considered that 1/n was dependent on the organic matter.
