초록

The chemical properties of orchard soils in Gangwon state have been monitored every 4 years from 2002 to 2022 in order to provide basic information for orchard soil fertility management. In 2022, the soil chemical properties of orchard were 6.3 of pH, 0.82 dS m-1 of EC, 38 g kg-1 of organic matter (OM) and 803 mg kg-1 of available phosphate (Avail. P2O5). Exchangeable (Exch.) potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) were 1.2, 7.2 and 2.0 cmolc kg-1, respectively. The distribution percentages within optimal range of pH were 43% in 2002, 30% in 2006, 45% in 2010, 41% in 2014, 39% in 2018, and 34% in 2022. The percentages for OM were 38% in 2002, 34% in 2006, 31% in 2010, 25% in 2014, 26% in 2018, and 29% in 2022. The excessive percentages for Avail. P2O5, Exch. Ca and Mg increased from 52% in 2002 to 71% in 2022, from 25% in 2002 to 55% in 2022, and from 19% in 2002 to 40% in 2022, respectively. In terms of heavy metals, mean contents of Cd and Hg were less than 5% of soil pollution standards (4 mg kg-1). Cu, Ni, Pb, and As were distributed to less than 20% of soil pollution standards. Therefore, it is necessary to fertilize based on soil test in order to maintain the soil chemical properties of the orchard soil within in an appropriate range.
