본 연구는 제경법을 이용한 유기초지 조성기술을 확립하기 위하여 2005년부터 2007년까지 3년 동안 수행하였으며 방목 축으로는 흑염소가 사용되었다. 시험설계는 관행조성구인 대조구, 퇴구비시용 후 방목구, 방목 후 퇴구비 시용구, 방목 후 퇴구비 시용 재방목구로 처리하였다. 목초정착률은 관행구인 대조구가 유기조성구에 비하여 현저하게 증가하였으며(p<0.05), 또한 건물생산성도 유기조성구에 비하여 대조구에서 현저한 증가를 나타냈다. 조성 후 연차가 경과함에 따라 식생 및 건물생산성이 개선되어 조성효과와 아울러 조성 후 관리의 중요성을 인식할 수 있다. 목초의 사료가치는 대조구와 유기조성구 모두 큰 차이는 나타나지 않았으며, 화본과 목초의 비율은 조성1년차가 2년차에 비하여 높은 경향을 보였다. 시험 종료 후 토양 성분을 조사한 결과 pH와 양이온치환용량은 시험전과 거의 변화가 없었으나 유기물과 인산 함량은 약간 증가하였다.
This study was carried out to determine the effect of establishment of organic pasture by hoof cultivation with Korean black goat on productivity of grassland and properties of soil. This study was conducted from August, 2005 to September, 2008 at Cheonan, Korea. Experiment was designed composing with 4 treatment : Standard (Control, T1), Grazing after application of cattle manure (T2), Application of cattle manure after grazing (T3), Application of cattle manure at half of grazing (T4). The establishment ratio of pasture in control treatment increased significantly as compared with that of organic treatment(p<0.05). The yield of dry matter (DM) of pasture in control treatment increased significantly as compared with that of organic treatment. The contents of crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and dry matter digestibility (DMD) of pasture were not influenced by cattle manure and grazing method. Grasses coverage ratio in grassland in second year after grassland development were higher than that of first year. The contents of organic matter (OM) and $P_2O_5$ in soil samples collected in organic treatment at the end of the experiment were higher than those of control. However, The pH, and the concentrations of CEC (Ca, Na and Mg) in soil samples collected in organic treatment were hardly influenced, as compared with those at the beginning of the experiment. This study suggests that the grasses and legumes coverage ratio in grassland can be improved by suitable pasture management.
