Abstract

In this study, we attempted to determine the appropriate fertilization rate of spent coffee ground compost (SCGC) to reach a suitable state for cultivating cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ‘Gosomibomdong’) by measuring certain growth characteristics. The heavy metal and microbial contents of SCGC were found to comply with fertilizer management enforcement regulations. A chemical analysis of the SCGC showed that total nitrogen, organic phosphoric acid, organic matter, and inorganic ions (K, Mg) exceeded the levels in control samples correspondingly by 7.0, 5.1, 3.3, 3.8, and 4.8 times. The growth, length, and width of the leaves; the leaf number; and the chlorophyll content were measured when commercial horticultural media (CHM, control) was mixed with SCGC at the ratios of 10, 20, 30, or 40% (v/v) (CHM+SCGC10, CHM+SCGC20, CHM+SCGC30, or CHM+SCGC40) and 1, 3, 5, or 7% (CHM+SCGC1, CHM+SCGC3, CHM+SCGC5, or CHM+SCGC7). For comparison, the CHM was mixed with 10% of earthworm cast (EC10) and 1% of commercial coffee ground compost (CG1). Before plant growth, a SCGC quality test (seed germination) showed a safety fertilizer germination rate exceeding 98%. The coffee bean compost’s EC (electrical conductivity) was 4.53 ds·m-1, 9.2 times more than the control. The shoot fresh weights after the CHM+SCGC10 and CHM+SCGC40 treatments were lower by approximately 19.6 and 90.7%, respectively, compared to those of the CHM. When SCGC was mixed at 1, 3, 5, or 7% by volume, the shoot fresh weight grown on the CHM+SCGC1 was higher about 24.2% than that on the CHM, while it was lower about 3.9% on the CHM+SCGC3. The shoot dry weight grown on the CHM+SCGC1 was also lower than that on the CHM+SCGC3, while there is no difference of it between CHM and CHM+SCGC1. Although it may vary depending on the content of the coffee ground, or other ingredients, the appropriate mixing ratio with commercial horticultural media is lower than 3%.

본 연구는 배추(Brassica rapa L. ‘고소미봄동’)를 재배하여 커피박퇴비(SCGC)의 적정 혼합 비율을 확인하고자 수행하였다. 커피박퇴비(SCGC)는 중금속 및 미생물 함량이 비료관리시행규칙에 적합하였다. 총 질소, 유기인산, 유기물 함량, 치환성양이온(K, Mg)은 CHM보다 각각 7.0, 5.1, 3.3, 3.8 및 4.8 배 높았고 EC 농도는 4.53ds·m-1로 CHM 보다 9.2 배 높았다 시판 상토(CHM)에 커피박퇴비(SCGC)를 부피비율(v/v)로 각각 0, 10, 20, 30, 40%(CHM, CHM+SCGC10, CHM+SCGC20, CHM+SCGC30, CHM+SCGC40) 또는 0, 1, 3, 5, 7%(CHM, CHM+SCGC1, CHM+SCGC3, CHM+SCGC5 CHM+SCGC7)로 배합한 처리구와 비교를 위해 지렁이분변토(EC) 10%를 혼합한 처리구(CHM+EC10)와 시판커피박퇴비 1%를 혼합한 처리구(CHM+CG1)에서 생육 특성을 조사하였다. 식물 재배 전 SCGC의 품질검사 방법 중 부숙도를 종자발아법으로 조사한 결과 발아율이 98%이상으로 나타났다. SCGC가 10, 20, 30 또는 40% 부피 비율로 배합되었을 때 지상부 생체중은 CHM+SCGC10와 CHM+SCGC40 처리구에서 CHM 보다 19.6, 90.7% 낮았다. SCGC가 1, 3, 5 또는 7% 부피 비율로 혼합되었을 때 지상부 생체중은 CHM+SCGC1에서는 CHM보다 24.2%높았으나 CHM+SCGC3에서는 3.9%낮았고, 건물중은 CHM+SCGC1에서 CHM처리구와 유의차가 없고 CHM+CG1과 CHM+SCGC3보다는 높게 나타나 SCGC비율이 3% 이상 높은 처리구에서는 생육이 감소하는 것을 알 수 있다. 커피박퇴비에 함유된 원료인 커피 찌꺼기 함량 또는 부재료 성분에 따라 달라질 수 있고 작물 종류와 혼합 토양의 종류에 따라 다를 수 있지만, 상토에 혼합하는 커피박퇴비의 적정 배합 비율은 3% 미만 수준인 것으로 판단된다.
