\u3000If a glass bead is packed in a certain container, the smaller the bead is, the more space it has. If the glass beads are large, they cannot be packed without gaps, and many spaces are created. The term \"denseness\" is used to describe how many particles are packed in a certain volume. The degree of density becomes larger when it is packed with a small glass ball than when it is packed with a large glass ball. Clay has the finest grains, so clayey soil has a high degree of density. On the other hand, sand has coarse grains, so sandy soil has a small degree of density. Therefore, clayey soil is tightly packed into a certain volume and becomes hard soil. Sandy soil with coarse particles does not often produce soil as hard as clayey soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. how is soil grain size determined?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Then, how is the size of soil grains determined? If soil grain size is innately determined, there would be no difference between sticky soil and sandy soil. Soil grain size is related to the way soil is formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. very long time is needed to change the hardness of the soil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The hardness of soil is due to the finer and denser particles of soil. The soil particles contain the time it took for the rocks to break up and for the soil to be formed by the action of living organisms. Thus, it takes a daunting, very long-term effort to essentially soften the hardness of the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000For example, by feeding coarse organic matter, such as compost, to the soil over many generations, a cushion of organic matter is created in the soil, which gradually softens the soil. In addition, one might think that mixing in sand or other materials would be a good idea. Of course, this is theoretically possible. It may be possible in a small area such as a home garden. However, in a large field, sand must be nearby in large quantities. Sand from the coast is not suitable because of its salinity. It must be river sand. Considering these factors, bringing sand into a fine-grained soil is a picture-perfect and unrealistic idea. It is impossible to change clayey soil into sandy soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. soil hardness is not determined by soil particles alone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000So far, for the sake of simplicity, I have explained soil hardness only in terms of soil particles. However, soil hardness is not that simple. For example, soil hardness varies depending on the moisture content in the same soil. This can be seen from the fact that clay soil becomes hard and hard when it is dried. If such soil is gradually moistened with water, it becomes softer and softer, and finally liquefies into a sludge, which is outside the concept of hardness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The nature of soil hardness is very complex, even when we speak of soil hardness in a nutshell. Here we are simplifying the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. hardness is not the only thing that affects root elongation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Last month and this month we discussed the issue of soil thickness and hardness. This is because we wanted to consider the thickness of the effective soil layer in which roots can grow. However, whether the roots can grow or not is not only determined by the hardness of the soil. There are three factors that inhibit the growth of crop roots. (1) mechanical resistance derived from soil hardness, (2) soil aeration, which indicates whether sufficient air is being pumped into the soil so that root respiration is not adversely affected, and (3) soil moisture conditions. These factors are not independent of each other, but are interrelated, making them even more complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Hardness is not an inhibiting factor in general soil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, regardless of the volumetric weight of the soil, peas cannot fully extend their roots due to lack of oxygen.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\u3000When there is no puddle and the soil contains some water, mechanical resistance, i.e., soil stiffness, will now inhibit root growth. However, this is the case for slightly fine-grained (clayey) soil with a volume weight of more than 1.1. Ordinary soil with a volume weight of up to 1.0 has water and air in the spaces between the soil, so it is in optimum condition for root growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000When the soil becomes dry, mechanical resistance due to hardness inhibits root elongation in soils with large volumetric weights (fine-grained and clayey). However, in a typical soil with a volume weight of 1.0, mechanical resistance due to hardness does not inhibit root elongation. And, of course, in a soil so dry that the crop wilts, lack of water inhibits root elongation regardless of the volume weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000In other words, it is concluded that soil hardness is a problem in fine-grained soil (clayey soil), and that in general soil hardness itself should not be considered to be an impediment to root growth. For soils with low volumetric weight and light weight, such as black granite soil (soil derived from volcanic ash), soil hardness is hardly a problem. In fact, because of its lightness, black soil is susceptible to wind erosion (soil being blown away by the wind).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000In this issue, we will first consider how to judge whether the soil drains well or not, based on the second of the four conditions for good soil for crop production, which relates to the physical properties of the soil, namely, that it retains moisture reasonably well and drains well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. observe the cross section of the soil closely<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000For example, if you have experienced a puddle of water in a field after a heavy rainfall, and the water remains there indefinitely, you should be able to feel that the soil has poor drainage properties. However, if you want to know more about how bad the drainage is, dig a hole in the soil to make a cross-section of the soil and observe it, as described in the second article of this series (June issue). You can determine whether the soil drains well or not by looking at the cross section of the soil as described below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000As the groundwater rises and falls with each rainfall, and the soil repeatedly goes through oxidizing and reducing states, the iron that dissolves during the reducing state collects and clumps together. This is the rusty iron mottling. Since mottling is not produced unless the groundwater level rises and falls, the presence of mottling indicates that the groundwater rises and falls because the soil drainage is somewhat poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. blue-gray layer in cross section = poorly drained soil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000On the other hand, if drainage is really poor, the groundwater table is relatively high because water is stagnant in the soil. Thus, the soil immersed in groundwater remains in a reduced state because the crevices are filled with water. As a result, iron continues to exist as blue-gray iron that is soluble in water, resulting in the formation of a blue-gray gley layer. Therefore, the presence of a gley layer means that groundwater is stagnant up to that point and that the soil drains very poorly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. method of improving soil with poor drainage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Now that we know whether drainage is good or bad, how can we improve soil with poor drainage? In a small-scale field such as a vegetable garden, there are methods such as making ditches to allow stagnant water on the ground surface to flow out, or raising the height of the cultivation area (ridges).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000The second of the four conditions for good soil, which concerns the physical properties of the soil, is that the soil should \"retain a moderate amount of moisture and have moderate drainage. In the previous article, I described how to determine whether the soil drains well or not from the cross-section of the soil. This time, we will consider how soil retains water, the fact that some water in the soil can be used by crops and some cannot, and what kind of soil retains water adequately and drains well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. capillary tension is the key to water retention and drainage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000See Figure 1. Two types of glass capillaries of different thicknesses are placed in water dyed with blue ink (hereinafter referred to as \"ink\"). In both glass capillaries, the surface of the water rises slightly. This is called capillary action, and the force that pulls up the water is capillary tension. The reason why the ink is raised higher in the thinner glass capillary is because the capillary tension is stronger than in the thicker glass capillary.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\u3000Let us consider this in terms of the gaps in the soil. The space between particles in soil is composed of small, thin gaps and large, thick gaps. Sandy soil with coarse grains (coarse-grained soil) has fewer small gaps and more large gaps, so the capillary tension in the gaps is weak and water tends to drain out. This results in poor water retention, which can lead to drought damage to crops. On the other hand, fine-grained and cohesive soil (fine-grained soil) has many small gaps and few large gaps, so the capillary tension in the gaps is strong. Therefore, water is retained in the narrow gaps, resulting in poor drainage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. water that can and cannot be used by crops<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Imagine that there has been a very heavy rainfall and that all the crevices in the soil have been filled with water. There is no space for air to enter the soil, and there are only soil particles and water. The amount of water in the soil at this time is called the \"maximum water capacity. However, about 24 hours after the rain stops, the water that was held in the thick crevices by a force weaker than gravity is pulled down by gravity and drains away. Air enters the gap where the water has been drained away. The amount of water in the soil at this time is called the \"field water capacity. Of course, the drained water cannot be absorbed and used by the crop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000Ultimately, the amount of moisture that is available to the crop in the soil is the amount of moisture at the permanent wilting point minus the amount of moisture at the field capacity, which is the state after drainage is completed. This moisture available to the crop is called effective moisture.

\u3000To determine if the soil is medium-grained, knead the moist soil with your thumb and forefinger and stretch it into a thread. The soil can be considered medium-grained if it can be stretched to the thickness and length of a matchstick, but not beyond that. If the soil is not matchstick-like, but rather difficult to form threads, it is considered coarse-grained soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. the size of soil particles cannot be easily changed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000We know that medium-grained soils are reasonably good for drainage and water retention. However, the size of the soil particles is determined by the degree of weathering of the rocks from which the soil is made, which requires time enough to tell the geologic age of the soil. Turning coarse- or fine-grained soil into medium-grained soil is not something that can be done overnight. Creating gaps in the soil for water retention and drainage requires a generational effort to continue applying organic matter such as compost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000I believe that good soil for crop production is soil that meets the four conditions that I presented in the first article of this series (May issue). Of these four conditions, I have discussed two that relate to the physical properties of the soil. From this month, I would like to move on to the two conditions related to the chemical properties of soil. This month, I will discuss one of them, acidity (pH).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. pH conditions suitable for crop production<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000In Japan, the optimum pH condition for good soil for crop production is in the range of 5.5 to 6.5, which is slightly on the acidic side. Of course, even within this range, the optimum pH varies slightly depending on the crop. For example, spinach, lettuce, chrysanthemum, and tomatoes prefer a pH closer to 6.5. On the other hand, balayasho (Japanese radish) prefers a pH closer to 5.5 for healthy growth, and radish and turnip are also tolerant of acidic conditions. Why is it that the optimal pH of soil in Japan is within this range? The reason is that Japanese soil tends to become acidic when left to nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. factors causing acidification of Japanese soil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000So why does Japanese soil become acidic when left to nature? Two factors are mainly responsible: (1) rainwater and (2) chemical fertilizers, which are indispensable for crop cultivation.

(2) Acidification by chemical fertilizers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The second soil acidifying factor is chemical fertilizers. Chemical fertilizers are chemically manufactured crop nutrients. While they themselves may provide nutrients to crops, they do not have any specific detrimental effects on crops. However, if chemical fertilizers are not used properly, they can have a variety of negative effects. Acidification is one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000However, not all chemical fertilizers acidify the soil to the same degree. Urea, for example, is decomposed by microorganisms in the soil and then converted to ammonia for use by plants. Therefore, it acidifies the soil to a lesser degree than other fertilizers. Ammonium nitrate (ammonium nitrate) and ammonium phosphate (ammonium phosphate) are also members of this class of fertilizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes it difficult to absorb the phosphorus that is fed as fertilizer, and crops are prone to phosphorus deficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. proper acid amendment of soil as well.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000You cannot tell its pH just by looking at the soil. It is practical to have the soil analyzed by soil diagnosis. If the analysis shows that the pH is lower than the optimum pH, the amount of alkaline material (calcium carbonate, etc.) needed to improve the pH to the optimum level is suggested. The acidity can be improved by giving the appropriate amount to the field and thoroughly mixing it with the soil. Conditions related to the chemical properties of the soil are relatively easy to improve, unlike the physical properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He believed that soil acidification adversely affects crops because of aluminum ions dissolved in soil moisture (soil solution), and that the degree of adverse effect is determined by the amount of exchangeable aluminum retained in the soil. As a method to measure this, he devised an ion-exchange method in which the exchangeable aluminum retained in the soil was ion-exchanged with potassium ions in a potassium chloride solution and released into the solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n2. the controversy and settlement of what nutrients are<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000In fact, the controversy over what is a nutrient for plants has a long history, dating back to the Greek and Roman periods. The debate began in Germany in the 19th century, settling the debate about nutrients between Thea, who believed that nutrients were organic (carbon-containing substances), and Shupe, who believed that they were inorganic (also known as minerals. The debate between Theja, who claimed that nutrients are organic (substances containing carbon), and Sprenger and Liebig, who claimed that they are inorganic (substances that do not contain carbon).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The theory that organic matter is a nutrient was strongly influenced by the \"vital energy theory\" that was prevalent throughout society at the time. According to the animate theory, organic matter was produced with the help of a unique life force that existed only in living plants and animals, and that organic matter could not be produced from inorganic matter that did not have life. This argument, however, lost its basis when Weller of Germany synthesized urea, an organic substance, from inorganic substances in 1828. Thus, the controversy was settled on the basis of Sprenger and Liebig's claim that inorganic substances are nutrients. However, the idea that organic substances are nutrients has not disappeared, but has been handed down in the spirit of organic agriculture to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. moderate nutrient levels and soil diagnostic reference values<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000By the way, how much of these nutrients must be present in the soil in adequate amounts? Moreover, crop nutrients are not merely sufficient if they are present in the soil, but they serve as nutrients for crops only when they are present in a form that can be absorbed by the crop (this is called the availability form). Therefore, to determine whether nutrients are adequately present in the soil, it is necessary to know how much nutrients are available in the availability form. Unfortunately, this cannot be determined just by looking at the soil. It can only be determined by analysis. In other words, nothing can be known without soil diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Soil diagnosis here refers to a series of operations in which the soil is analyzed to determine the pH level and the amount of available nutrients in the soil, to determine whether the analysis results are adequate, and to provide specific measures based on the results. The standard to judge whether the condition of soluble nutrients is adequate or not based on the analysis results is the soil diagnostic standard value. In other words, the appropriate amount of nutrients as a condition for good soil is the amount of nutrients in the soil that falls within the range of the soil diagnostic standard value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The amount of nutrients required by crops varies greatly from crop to crop. They may also be affected by the climatic conditions of the region where the crop is grown. For this reason, there is no uniform standard value for soil diagnosis that is valid for all crops in the country. Please refer to the information published by the testing and research institutes in your area to find out the specific values of soil diagnosis standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. nutrient supplementation based on soil diagnosis results<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000If all nutrients are within the range of soil diagnostic standards, the soil is considered to have adequate nutrients. However, this does not mean that compost, chemical fertilizers, or other materials do not need to be applied to the soil. This section introduces the basic concept of nutrient supplementation based on soil diagnosis results from a case study in Hokkaido, Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000It is hard to believe that soil is electrostatically charged. However, because of this property of soil, nutrients contained in fertilizers and compost are attracted to and retained in the soil by electrostatic forces. Those who discovered the soil's ability to hold these nutrients (nutrient retention capacity) must have been surprised, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. discovery of nutrient retention capacity of soil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The story goes back to England about 170 years ago. At that time, chemical fertilizers were new to the world and were rarely used. Therefore, the source of nutrients for crops depended exclusively on compost produced from livestock manure. However, the ammonia contained in the manure would volatilize and lose if left unattended. To prevent this, sulfuric acid, a byproduct of coal combustion, was diluted and spread on the compost heap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000However, the sulfuric acid treatment resulted in the production of large amounts of ammonium sulfate. Thompson, a wealthy farmer in Yorkshire, northern England, wondered if the sulfuric acid treatment would actually reduce the fertilizing effect of the compost because rainwater would dissolve the ammonium sulfate and run off into the ground. Thompson asked Spence, a pharmacist with a background in chemistry, to test the veracity of his suspicions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000After hearing the results of these experiments at a meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, Ouray followed up their experiments himself and reaffirmed that the results were true. Later, after five years of extensive experimentation, he found that the clay of the soil had the ability to attract substances. The paper by Ouray describing these findings appeared in the same issue of the same journal in which Thompson's paper appeared, but on a page behind Thompson's.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000All of them, who were interested in similar phenomena in the same period, concluded that this property of the soil would play a major role in actual agriculture. Among them, Ouray even believed that this soil property was due to ion exchange occurring in the soil. However, it was not until some 40 years after his death that this idea was accepted by the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. the carrier of the soil's nutrient retention capacity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The results of Wei's experiments led to research on soil organic matter and clay minerals and their ability to retain nutrients, which were found to have electrically charged properties. It was found that soils can be negatively electrically charged (negative charge) or positively electrically charged (positive charge) in some cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exchangeable aluminum, which has the same positive charge, repels the positive charge of the soil and cannot exist stably. Therefore, it can be understood that the allophenolic black box soil did not cause acid damage to the corn. This is a very interesting phenomenon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000It has been a year since I began writing this series of articles in last May's issue. Over the past nine articles, we have discussed four conditions that must be met for soil to be good for crops. These four conditions and specific target values were described in the first article. From Part 2 to Part 9, each of these conditions and their target values were explained. This issue is a summary of these articles. I would like to review the relationship between the concept of good soil and soil cultivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. what is soil preparation in the first place?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000When farmers, as well as readers of this magazine, and others involved in agriculture discuss crop production and talk about soil, the word \"soil preparation\" always comes up. The final response is something like, \"Soil preparation means the application of organic matter such as compost. The conclusion is that no matter what kind of soil or what kind of crops are grown, the first step in \"soil preparation\" is to apply compost, and if that \"soil preparation\" is carried out, it will lead unconditionally to good results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000I consider \"soil building\" to be a practical activity to improve the soil of a target field to a soil that is good for crop production. In order to do so, it is necessary to clarify what factors in the soil of the field are inhibiting the growth of crops and to what extent. In other words, it is necessary to clarify which of the \"four conditions for good soil\" described in this series of articles is the greatest inhibitory factor to the growth of crops. Then, the practice of \"soil cultivation\" is the procedure of implementing measures to improve the conditions that have become the growth-inhibiting factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. does good soil guarantee a high yield?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000In reality, however, there is more at stake. Crop growth and yield are not determined solely by whether the soil on the farm is good for crop production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Suppose there is a potato field with the best soil in Japan that satisfies all the \"four conditions for good soil\" through diligent improvement. However, no matter how good the soil is, if the temperature does not rise in summer, for example, the productivity (yield) of the potato field will be drastically reduced due to cold damage. Even if the weather is good, if the fertilizer is applied incorrectly, the potatoes will not produce well. Experienced farmers will be able to produce much higher yields than I, an amateur, can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n3. soil is one of the factors that determine the crop productivity of farmland<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000In order for soil to have high crop productivity, it must satisfy all of the \"four conditions for good soil,\" as described in this series of articles. However, it cannot be said that farmland with \"good soil\" that satisfies these four conditions will always produce a high crop yield. This is because \"good soil\" is only one of many factors that determine the productivity of farmland, as shown in Figure 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The more we value the soil, the more we feel that the soil always determines crop production. As a result, it is often said that \"soil cultivation\" is the most important factor in \"improving crop productivity. Of course, there are many such cases. However, if we assume that soil is the only factor that determines crop production on farmland, we will lose sight of the real impediments to crop production. We must not forget that many factors are interrelated in determining the crop productivity of farmland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The important thing is to be able to consider from a broad perspective what factors are responsible for the poor growth of crops grown on the farm. It would be a pity for the soil to blame the soil for all the causes of various phenomena, such as poor growth of crops. That is an overestimation of the soil. Before we assume that the soil is the cause, it is important to consider the factors that contribute to poor growth, and to accurately gather the factors that hinder growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000Selflessly and without asking for anything in return, day in and day out, he drilled holes in the barren, marble-covered soil and planted acorns in them. This act transformed the barren land into a land fit for people to lead healthy lives, both physically and mentally. I believe that with a sustained selfless practice like Bouffier's, any harsh, poor soil can be transformed into soil that can produce crops and in which people can live richly in mind and body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000What is necessary is to clarify what factors of the soil need to be improved and how, and then to continue with the improvement measures. We hope that you will utilize the \"Four Conditions for Good Soil\" to find these factors. To change bad soil into good soil for crops requires work like bouffier. Simply applying compost may miss the point.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u3000Starting with this issue, \"No More Soil\" will be renewed. In the past 10 articles, we have discussed the four conditions for good soil for crops. In the next 10 articles, we will discuss compost, chemical fertilizers, organic farming, and the role of soil. This time, we will look back at the history of compost, which was invented and used to replenish farmland with nutrients in the days before chemical fertilizers were available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. nutrient replenishment is necessary to maintain soil fertility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000It is believed that humans began farming about 10,000 years ago. Since then, when crops are grown and harvested on farmland, the nutrients in the soil are absorbed by the crops and taken out of the farmland with the harvest. If nutrients are not replenished, the crop nutrients in the soil will be depleted and the crop cannot be grown. Therefore, replenishment of nutrients was essential for the sustainable cultivation of crops on farmland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000How exactly to supply nutrients was the main concern. The only way to recover nutrients from the soil was to collect materials around us, such as leaf litter from forests, mud from rivers and lakes, fallen leaves, fallen branches, underbrush from forests, wild grasses, grass and tree ashes, seaweed, and manure from people and livestock.

\u3000European farmers, in particular, realized that the use of livestock was much more labor-saving than collecting materials from outside the farmland. Therefore, they actively promoted nutrient recovery and composting through the use of livestock and developed a crop rotation system. The culmination of these efforts was the four-year crop rotation known as the Norfolk farming method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000In the previous issue, I reviewed the history of how, in the days before the advent of chemical fertilizers, farmers overcame the difficult problem of supplying nutrients to farmland by devising a material called compost. I also mentioned the difference in the way of farming between the fields in Europe and the rice paddies in Japan, which led to a difference in the way of thinking about compost. Even after the advent of chemical fertilizers, compost is expected to have various effects. However, these various effects do not occur in all soil types without exception. Let us consider what are the conditions of soil that cause differences in the manifestation of these effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000However, the effect of (2) as a trace element fertilizer cannot be expected in paddy fields. This is because trace elements are dissolved in irrigation water in rice paddies, and the amount of trace elements supplied by irrigation water, which is taken up in large quantities during rice cultivation, is large. Even if the compost contains trace elements, the limited amount of trace elements supplied by the compost will not be equal to the natural supply from the irrigation water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000It is not yet well known how effective the plant hormones (4) can actually be in fields and rice paddies with a history of cultivation. However, it is likely to be effective when the surface soil containing organic matter is completely removed and the subsoil containing little organic matter is used as the cropping soil, as is the case in cultivated land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(2) Effect as stable organic matter<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The second expected effect is as stable organic matter. Stable organic matter is organic matter that remains in the soil after being decomposed to some extent by animals and microorganisms, and is relatively difficult to decompose. This becomes the substance known as soil organic matter (humus), which gives the soil its black color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000The effect of compost application on soil organisms is more likely to be cumulative than a one-year effect. However, even in this case, the direct effect of the diversification and increase in the number of organisms on crop growth may vary depending on other soil conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. the less organic matter in the soil, the more effective compost is.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000When we give compost to the soil nowadays, are we just giving it to the soil without any particular reason, just because it is for \"soil building\"? We need to think carefully about why we are giving compost to the soil and what effect we expect it to have. Depending on soil conditions, compost may or may not have the desired effect. As shown in Table 1, the criterion is whether the soil has more or less organic matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The amount of organic matter in the soil can only be determined by strictly analyzing it. To determine the amount of organic matter without analyzing the soil, look at the color of the soil. If the color of the soil is black to dark brown with a black tint, you can judge that there is a lot of organic matter in the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Soils with low organic matter (light black color) can expect diverse effects from compost feeding. For soils with high organic matter (dark black color), we should expect mainly nutrient effects as a slow-release three-element fertilizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000Compost was originally conceived as a material for transferring nutrients to farmland. In Japan, however, compost is now expected to be used as a stable organic matter and as a source of biological supply. Last month, we discussed the expected effects of such composts and how these expectations are reflected in crop production depending on the soil conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Why is the supremacy of mature compost in our country?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000As mentioned in the 11th issue of this series (May issue), in Europe, compost is traditionally regarded as a nutrient transfer material. Keeping livestock is a prerequisite for compost production, and compost is regarded as a source of nutrients itself. Therefore, as in Japan, compost is not expected to have a variety of effects, including effects as a stable organic matter and as a source of biological resources, in addition to its effect as a source of nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current compost is treated as industrial waste<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000In Japan, the value of compost as a source of nutrients has declined since the introduction of chemical fertilizers as a nutrient transfer material. Labor-intensive compost production is no longer done, and compost is used less and less. Rice farmers, in particular, began to avoid applying compost to their rice paddies. This is because composted manure releases large amounts of nitrogen after the summer, resulting in high-protein rice and a significant decrease in eating quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Livestock farmers often run multi-cattle operations relying on imported concentrate feed for livestock feed. Livestock farmers often keep a large number of animals and depend on imported concentrated feed for livestock feed. The compost produced by livestock farms is treated as industrial waste and is not used effectively. In Japan, it is doubtful whether compost is being used properly, despite the importance of \"compost for soil preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000The agricultural depression was severe in the Norfolk region as well. In Norfolk farming, fodder turnips and red clover plots, which are grown to feed livestock, generate no direct income. They are grown for manure production as a source of nutrients. In order to get out of the recession, farmers have been tempted to stop the unprofitable forage production and grow cash crops to feed people. This would increase their profits. However, there was a problem. If they stopped producing fodder, they would no longer be able to feed their livestock, which would also mean that they would no longer be able to produce compost, and crop production itself would decline. Therefore, the important thing was to find a source of nutrients that could be substituted for compost. This is where chemical fertilizers, which were beginning to be sold and distributed at the time, came into the spotlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. dilemma associated with compost production in recycling-oriented agriculture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The main reason for the introduction of chemical fertilizers into Norfolk farming was the need for land to produce fodder for livestock, which is the key to the nutrient cycle. The agricultural depression made it impossible to allocate that land for feed production. Moreover, as crop yields increase, the amount of nutrients taken out of the field also increases. This requires a large amount of compost as a source of nutrients to replenish the crop. Increased production of manure requires an increase in the number of livestock, as well as more farmland for the production of feed for the increased number of livestock. However, the profitability of that farmland is low. This is the dilemma that arises when trying to rely solely on compost as a source of nutrients in recycling-oriented agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000More importantly, as Liebig, who with Sprengel argued that plant nutrients are inorganic, once criticized, there can be no perfect cycle in any cyclical agriculture. The produce is taken off the farm to be sold. The nutrients absorbed by the farmland are surely taken out of the circulation path. Unless the nutrients are brought in from outside the circulation path, the nutrients contained in the farmland in the circulation path are gradually depleted. Liebig called this plunder agriculture and recommended the use of chemical fertilizers to replenish nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. another test to confirm fertilizer efficacy of chemical fertilizers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000It was Rose of England who first introduced chemical fertilizers to the world. Rose was also concerned about whether chemical fertilizers were really as effective as compost. He therefore founded the Rothamsted Agricultural Experiment Station on his own to test the efficacy of fertilizers. This was 65 years before the Norfolk Agricultural Experiment Station, the oldest agricultural experiment station in the world. The testing began in 1843, the year chemical fertilizers were first sold. These tests have continued to the present day, some 180 years later. We will discuss the results in next month's issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. an era in which plant nutrients are changing from organic to inorganic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000In 1828, Sprengel of Germany was the first to question this common theory and point out that plant nutrients are not organic but inorganic (minerals). It was Liebig, also of Germany, who further supported his point of view and popularized the theory in 1840. It was during this period that Rose marketed an inorganic chemical fertilizer (a patented fertilizer composed of lime superphosphate, ammonium phosphate, and potassium silicate) as a nutrient for crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Rose attempted several trials in his hometown of Rothamsted, Harpenden, to verify the efficacy of the chemical fertilizers he intended to sell. He conducted pot trials in 1837-39 and small field trials in 1840-41. From these trials, he recognized the importance of phosphorus as a nutrient for cabbage, since the highest yields were obtained when cabbage was treated with ammonium phosphate, which contained phosphorus as well as nitrogen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. overview of broadbore wheat field trials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Rose brought in Gilbert, who had studied chemistry at Liebig's, as a scientific collaborator and began comparing the nutrient effects of chemical fertilizers and compost. It was in the fall of 1843, the very same year that chemical fertilizers were introduced to the world, that he sowed wheat (fall-sown wheat) as a crop for testing. This is the Broadbark wheat test plot introduced this month. The year 1843 was the founding year of the Rothamsted Agricultural Experiment Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\u3000Interestingly, after 60 years of continuous cropping, in 1902, both treatments showed continuous crop failure and yield decreased. When the fallow treatment was introduced (one-year fallow followed by four-year row cropping), yields recovered again. This indicates that the continuous cropping failure of wheat occurs not only in the chemical fertilizer area but also in the compost area, and that the fallow treatment is more effective for recovery than the nutrient treatments such as compost or chemical fertilizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(2) Dramatic increase in yields with the introduction of high-yielding varieties<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Since 1968, when high-yielding varieties were introduced, the yield of row crops of wheat has nearly doubled, despite no change in compost or chemical fertilizer application treatments. This confirms the high seed production capacity of high-yielding varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Furthermore, in the five-year crop rotation established after 1968, when the nitrogen content of chemical fertilizers was added to the compost to increase the total nitrogen application, the yield was nearly 10 t\/ha. This is not only about three times the yield of the composted area in the old variety era until 1967, but also about twice the average yield in Japan. The effect of the addition of chemical fertilizer nutrients to the compost is clear, and the high-yielding variety's response to fertilizer nutrients is understandable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. compost and chemical fertilizers differ in the onset of nutrient effects.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The effects of compost and chemical fertilizers differ in their effects as nutrients. As a rule, the nutrients in chemical fertilizers are in an inorganic form that is easily absorbed by crops. Moreover, they are manufactured so that when they are applied to the soil, they dissolve in the soil moisture and are absorbed by the crop. Therefore, the nutrient effect of chemical fertilizers is characterized by rapid action. If a crop shows signs of nutrient deficiency during its growth, the delay in growth can be corrected with additional chemical fertilizers. This is possible because chemical fertilizers are fast-acting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. effect of stable organic matter on improving soil physical properties<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000On the other hand, the nutrients contained in compost are mostly in the organic form, with only a few in the inorganic form readily absorbed by crops. The organic nutrients are decomposed by soil microorganisms before they can be absorbed by the crop. Therefore, compost is a slow-acting nutrient that takes time to become effective. Therefore, it is not suitable for use as a fertilizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Of the nutrients contained in compost, the total amount of the fast-acting inorganic portion and the relatively easily degradable (readily degradable) organic portion can be expected to have a fertilizing effect on the soil in the same year they are applied to it. The rest of the organic portion, which takes more time to decompose (persistent), remains in the soil and is carried over to the next year and beyond as stable organic matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\u3000Because compost has a low nutrient content, the amount applied must be large in order to provide the large amount of nutrients needed to increase crop production. However, the amount is too large and labor-intensive. Chemical fertilizers, however, have made it possible to reduce this labor. This is because chemical fertilizers can provide large amounts of nutrients even in small amounts. Therefore, the use of chemical fertilizers has succeeded in greatly increasing the crop yield per area of land. Moreover, it also means an increase in production per labor hour. Thus, the production of food could be increased to support a large population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000Transport proteins are also responsible for the entry of nutrient ions dissolved in the soil solution into the plasma membrane. Nutrient ions, which are solutes in the soil solution, cannot pass through the cell membrane, which is a semipermeable membrane. Moreover, since there is a concentration gradient between the inside and outside of the plasma membrane, nutrient ions must enter the plasma membrane against the concentration gradient in order to be absorbed. This is made possible by the function of transport proteins that penetrate the plasma membrane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000These transport proteins do not freely transport any substance, but have their own specific transport partners. As already mentioned, water is transported by aquaporin, a water-specific transport protein. Ammonium ions, the nutrient ions of nitrogen, have a transport protein (ammonium ion transporter) that is responsible for their passage through the membrane. Plants are able to selectively take up only the nutrient ions they need from a soil solution containing various substances (selective absorption) because each transport protein has the property of transporting its own counterpart. At this time, there are also transport proteins that generate energy to transport nutrient ions from the outside to the inside of the membrane against the concentration gradient (active transport).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Thus, plants skillfully selectively absorb only water and nutrient ions from substances dissolved in the soil solution around their roots, eliminating unwanted substances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. the final step in nutrient absorption is transfer to the ducts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Absorbed water and nutrient ions do not remain in the root cells. The absorbed water and nutrient ions are transferred to the various parts of the plant body, such as the stem and leaves. This is done through ducts. Since ducts are pipes for transport, they are the outer tissues of the plasma membrane and consist mainly of cell walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000Thus, water and nutrient ions that reach the ducts move to the plant organs where they are needed, where they are used as nutrients and converted into substances that nourish the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000Plants select and absorb the nutrients they need from the water (soil solution) in the soil. In the last issue, I explained how this works. If nutrients are easily soluble in soil solution, it was explained. But what do plants do when nutrients exist in the soil as insoluble substances that are difficult to dissolve in water?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000In this article, I would like to look at the amazing mechanism by which plants absorb nutrients from substances that are difficult to dissolve in soil solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. phosphorus and iron are insoluble substances in the field<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Among plant nutrients, phosphorus and iron exist in the soil in the form of substances that are insoluble in water (insoluble substances, such as aluminum phosphate, iron phosphate, and iron hydroxide). However, when the soil surface is covered with water and the soil is in a reduced state due to lack of oxygen, as in paddy fields, the insoluble iron phosphate and iron hydroxide are transformed into water-soluble substances. Therefore, rice plants are seldom significantly deficient in these nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000On the other hand, in field soil, oxygen is connected to the atmosphere and remains in an oxidized state. For this reason, phosphorus and iron exist as insoluble substances, which are difficult to dissolve in soil solution, making them difficult for plants to absorb. However, plants absorb such nutrients by taking measures as described below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. expand rooting to absorb phosphorus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Since phosphorus exists as an insoluble substance, the concentration of phosphorus in the soil solution is low. Therefore, plants sometimes try to absorb phosphorus in low concentrations by increasing root growth and expanding the root surface area. A similar mechanism is used by filamentous fungi (a member of the fungus family, mycorrhizal fungi) that live symbiotically in the roots. Mycorrhizal fungi spread their mycelium widely in the soil, take up phosphorus from the soil solution, and provide it to the host plant, which in turn supplies phosphorus to the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000This mugineic acid was discovered by Professor Seiichi Takagi of Iwate University in Japan in 1976. Until then, the mechanism of iron absorption by plants other than grasses could not fully explain the iron absorption of grasses. However, this discovery clarified the mechanism. This was truly a major historical discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000Plants select and absorb only the nutrients they need from the water in the soil (soil solution) by a well-developed mechanism. The absorbed nutrient ions support the nutrition of the plant by either becoming components of substances that help to nourish the plant or by participating in various reactions in the plant body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000Of the two glutamic acids, one is again combined with ammonium ions to make glutamine. The other reacts with various organic acids, which are intermediate products of the breakdown of photosynthetic products by plant respiration, to produce the necessary amino acids. In this case, the reactions are also carried out by enzymes that assist in each reaction. In this way, all necessary amino acids are self-sufficient, and proteins are synthesized from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000The issue here is the relationship between the rate of the enzymatic reaction that converts nitrate to ammonium ions and the rate at which the resulting ammonium ions are incorporated into the GSGOGAT system for amino acid synthesis. If the rate of the former exceeds that of the latter, the ammonium ions produced by this enzymatic reaction will accumulate in the leaves. However, this must be avoided. The accumulation of ammonium ions is detrimental to the plant. To avoid this, nitrate reductase has a function that prevents the accumulation of ammonium ions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000The fact that nitrate reductase is an adaptive enzyme is especially important for many plants that mainly absorb nitrate as a nitrogen nutrient source, in order to avoid the danger of excessive accumulation of ammonium ions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. the only external raw material required for amino acid synthesis is ammonium ions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000From what we have seen so far about the mechanism of amino acid synthesis, we can notice something. The only raw material that plants need to acquire from outside in order to synthesize amino acids is ammonium ions. The other raw material, photosynthetic products (carbohydrates), is synthesized by the plant itself. This is made possible by two enzymes that synthesize glutamine and glutamic acid. It is thanks to the action of these two enzymes that plants are able to synthesize complex amino acids from simple substances such as ammonium ions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000In the previous issue, we introduced the GS-GOGAT system, in which plants absorb ammonium and nitrate ions, which are nitrogenous nutrient ions, and utilize carbohydrates produced by photosynthesis in leaves to produce amino acids, which are the raw materials for proteins. Using this system, plants supply themselves with all the amino acids necessary for protein synthesis. Proteins, along with carbohydrates, greatly affect the taste of agricultural products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000In this article, we will consider the curious trade-off between protein and carbohydrate content in crops, which has a significant impact on the taste of agricultural products, from the perspective of the GS-GOGAT system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. what is a trade-off relationship?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000A trade-off is a relationship in which one factor increases while the other decreases, like a seesaw on a playground, and the two factors cannot both increase and be compatible. For example, as shown in Figure 1, when the nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) content per panicle of rice is low, the protein content in brown rice is high, and when the NSC content is high, the protein content in brown rice is low, indicating that a trade-off relationship exists between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n

That is, plants that are given a lot of nitrogen from compost or chemical fertilizers absorb a lot of nitrogen, of course. When more nitrogen is absorbed, it is incorporated into the GS-GOGAT system and amino acid synthesis is activated, resulting in an increase in protein content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000Conversely, if only a small amount of nitrogen is provided, plants synthesize only a few amino acids and have low protein content. Since not much is used for amino acid synthesis, not much is needed for the intermediate products of carbohydrate breakdown by respiration. As a result, more carbohydrates are left over, resulting in a relatively high carbohydrate content. This is the main mechanism that causes the trade-off relationship between protein and carbohydrates in plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nitrogen fertilization and crop quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The trade-off between protein and carbohydrate content in crops means that nitrogen fertilization has a significant effect on the carbohydrate content of crops. We would like to consider this relationship in terms of the eating quality of rice and the relationship between different cultivation methods and the taste of the crop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\u3000However, the eating quality of rice (milled rice) is not only affected by protein content, but also by low amylose content, which constitutes the starch of rice. The amylose content of rice is more influenced by variety characteristics than by nitrogen fertilization. Therefore, good-tasting rice varieties are selected from breeding material that has characteristics that result in low amylose content in the rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(2) Differences in cultivation methods and the taste of agricultural products<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\u3000It is often pointed out that organically grown produce tastes better than conventionally grown produce (conventionally grown using chemical fertilizers and pesticides). Is this a general fact? This can also be explained in terms of the relationship with the amount of nitrogen applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Compost is used as the nutrient source for the crop in organic farming, while chemical fertilizer is used in conventional farming. Let us now consider a case in which crops are grown using these two sources of nutrients with the same amount of total nitrogen applied. Even if the amount of total nitrogen applied is the same for both sources, the amount of nitrogen in a form that is easily absorbed and utilized by the crop (inorganic nitrogen) is usually much higher with chemical fertilizer than with compost. This is because the nitrogen in compost contains organic nitrogen that cannot be immediately absorbed by the crop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000In other words, from the crop's point of view, the amount of inorganic nitrogen that can be absorbed immediately is greater with conventional chemical fertilizer than with organic compost, even though the total amount of nitrogen given is the same. Then, the nitrogen absorption of the crop is higher under conventional cultivation than under organic cultivation, resulting in a higher protein content and, consequently, a lower carbohydrate content. Since the taste of agricultural products is considered to increase with carbohydrate content, such as sugars and starches, the result is that organic produce is evaluated to be better tasting, even though the total nitrogen content fed is the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000However, this is not due to differences in cultivation methods, but mainly to differences in the amount of inorganic nitrogen contained in the nutrient sources used. If the amount of nitrogen applied from chemical fertilizers is equal to the amount of inorganic nitrogen contained in compost, the carbohydrate content of the crop, such as sugars, will not differ much between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000In other words, the fact that organic produce generally has lower protein content and higher carbohydrate content than conventional produce is not due to differences in cultivation methods, but rather to differences in the amount of inorganic nitrogen applied, even when the total nitrogen content fed is the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000Then, large soil animals such as earthworms, borers, and sowbugs appear and feed on the plant remains, pulverizing them and dragging them and their remains into the soil. Medium-sized soil animals, such as mites and stoneflies, then take charge, feeding on the dragged organic matter and taking nutrients into their bodies, and excreting the unwanted material as feces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Bacteria and fungi feed on the excreted feces and the remains of plants that have been dragged into the soil, eventually transforming them into carbon dioxide, water, and inorganic substances. The inorganic matter produced by this process is absorbed by the roots as nutrients for the plants growing there. Thus, a cycle of nutrients is established. Of course, the same mechanism applies to animal remains as it does to plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The various material changes that occur in the soil include changes involving soil organisms. Therefore, when we talk about material changes in the soil, if we blur the distinction between the function of the soil and the function of living creatures in the soil, we confuse the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000In this article, I would like to consider these important functions of soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. three major functions of soil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000An overview of the functions of soil brings to mind the foundation of roads, railroads, and buildings, raw materials for various construction materials and ceramics, and a constituent factor of the landscape. However, there are more important functions than these, such as (1) growing plants on land (production function), (2) holding water (water retention function), and (3) decomposing and purifying organic matter and chemical substances (decomposition and purification function), which support life on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(1) Function of growing plants on land (production function)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Plants receive heat and light from the sun, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and water from the soil for photosynthesis. This plant is the starting point of food for at least all terrestrial organisms. The food of the creatures in the soil is also originally organic matter produced by plants. Carnivores are also able to eat meat because herbivores live on plants. Since the soil supports the growth of plants, the productive function of the soil is extremely important for terrestrial organisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000In some cases, crops are grown hydroponically or otherwise, without using soil, by artificially controlling light, day length, temperature, and other aspects of the growing environment. Such facilities are sometimes referred to as plant factories (Figure 1).<\/p>\n\n\n
\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\u3000These cultivation methods require large energy costs for facilities and machinery for nutrient management, as well as for heating, cooling, and lighting, and high maintenance and management costs, including labor. In addition, the spread of external pathogens and diseases during cultivation is much faster than with soil cultivation. Furthermore, it is unrealistic to leave food production to hydroponics, considering concerns about the sustainability of fossil energy. The dependence of terrestrial organisms on soil for food production is unlikely to change in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(2) Function to retain water (water retention function)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\u3000When the soil is covered with asphalt-paved urban streets and concrete buildings, much of the rainwater does not percolate into the soil, but instead flows directly into rivers through the sewage system. Under these conditions, when temporary heavy rains occur, small urban rivers overflow and cause damage. This is because the soil has lost its function of holding water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000However, the function of decomposition and purification of organic matter is not a function of the soil itself but a function derived from the biological activity of the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. soil supports and preserves the global environment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The Earth's environment is maintained by the smooth circulation of heat, energy, water, chemicals, and other materials between the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere that make up the Earth's surface. Most of the transfer of materials and energy between these spheres takes place through the soil, which is the contact surface (interface).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The rate of movement of matter and energy in the soil controls the speed of that movement. The physical, chemical, and biological properties and functions of soil can change the flow of water, heat, and materials from a rapid state to a gentle state, and in some cases, they can be stored in the soil to inhibit the flow itself. The ability of soil to soften the rate of movement of materials (buffering capacity) is a fundamental factor in ensuring the harmonious and smooth circulation of materials and energy on the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Since the 20th century, human activities have expanded on an unprecedented scale, adversely affecting the global environment. Unprincipled deforestation to expand arable land, massive consumption of fossil fuels to increase productivity, and other human activities have caused the flow of materials and energy to exceed the control of the soil. The resulting changes in the global environment have had adverse effects such as global warming, depletion of the ozone layer, desertification and salinization of the soil, soil erosion, water pollution, and reduction of biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\u30004.6 billion years ago, asteroids in the universe collided with each other, accumulating energy and gradually expanding to form the Earth. Immediately after its birth, the earth was in a state of bare magma, with temperatures reaching over 1,000\u00b0C. Later, as asteroid impacts decreased, the magma cooled over time. Later, as the number of asteroid impacts decreased, the magma cooled with the passage of time. When the surface temperature reached about 300\u00b0C, water vapor fell to the ground in torrential rain. This became the ocean. This was about 4 billion years ago. This ocean was hot and highly acidic, with hydrochloric acid as its main ingredient. This is because the rain dissolved the gases emitted from the magma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000At that time, the atmosphere was 97% carbon dioxide (carbon dioxide gas). Carbon dioxide could not dissolve into the strongly acidic ocean. However, as the dissolved components from the rocks gradually neutralized the oceans, carbon dioxide gradually dissolved into the oceans, further neutralizing the acidic oceans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Life was first found in the sea. This is because the sun's ultraviolet rays are harmful to living organisms, and the only place where they could avoid these rays was in the sea. This is thought to have occurred approximately 3.8 billion years ago. It seems that life began with bacteria that could grow in anaerobic conditions, that is, in the absence of oxygen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000The ozone layer blocked ultraviolet radiation from the sun. This blockage of ultraviolet radiation, which is harmful to living organisms, has allowed marine life to come ashore. The first organisms to come ashore were lichens. Lichens are organisms in which algae (cyanobacteria, green algae, etc.) coexist inside a structure made of fungal mycelium. The photosynthetic products produced by the algae are used by the fungi to support their life, allowing them to grow even under conditions with limited nutrient sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000It took a long journey for soil to be formed by the organisms that came to life on the earth. That path was completed at that time, and it has not ended, but continues to the present day. At first glance, the soil appears to be immovable. However, as an extension of this enormous change over time, the soil is still changing to harmonize with its environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. the earth's \"skin\" supports terrestrial life<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The earth is in the exquisite position of being the third closest to the sun. Too close to the sun and water evaporates and disappears. If it is farther from the sun, it will freeze. The exquisite position means that there was enough distance between the sun and the earth for water to exist stably. This water and the oxygen in the atmosphere made it possible for life to survive on Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000He believed that soil is formed by the interaction of various factors such as rocks, which are the raw materials of soil, climate, plants and animals, and topography, and that the formed soil changes with time. He also argued that soil, like animals and plants, is one of the components of nature and that soil is a product of the environment. Let us look at this idea in detail below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000The action that creates soil in this way is the result of the action of living organisms on the parent material. No matter how much a rock is weathered and crushed into small pieces, soil cannot be created without the presence and action of living organisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. the function of soil-building organisms is affected by the environment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The workings of the organisms that make up the soil are closely linked to the environment. This is because the types of organisms and their activity are greatly influenced by the climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000In cold regions at high latitudes, the amount of organic matter added to the soil is low because plant growth is poor. However, because of the cold weather, decomposition of organic matter by microorganisms does not progress, and organic matter accumulates, resulting in dark soil with a darker color, as indicated by the organic matter. On the other hand, in low-latitude tropical rainforest areas, the amount of organic matter added to the soil is much higher than in colder regions because of vigorous plant growth. However, because of the higher temperatures, the decomposition of organic matter by microorganisms is faster, and organic matter is less likely to accumulate in the soil. Therefore, the soil in this region does not darken, and a reddish-brown color is produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000Soil is created in a given environment through the work of the living organisms present there. This is the idea of the Russian soil scientist Dokuchaev, which I mentioned last month. As if to prove the correctness of this idea, from a macroscopic viewpoint, the world's soil is distributed along latitudinal zones corresponding to climatic changes. This is because climatic conditions have a great influence on the environment. We can truly feel that soil is a product of the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000This beginning of agriculture was an active act of man working with nature to clear the land and grow food in its soil. It changed the way people lived. Of course, at that time, the natural environment must have had an overwhelming power over mankind. However, it was the first time that mankind challenged nature. In the sense that humans added their hands to the given natural environment, it can be understood as the beginning of environmental destruction (Figure 1). At a stage when human activities were weaker than the forces of the natural environment, this was not a major problem.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u3000However, when human activities become so active that they alter the natural environment, the altered natural environment cannot be restored. It was the Industrial Revolution that reversed the power relationship between human productive activities and nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000Around the same time as the Industrial Revolution, the hyper-intensive Norfolk farming system was established. This led to a dramatic increase in agricultural productivity. This was a factor in increasing the rural population. Ironically, the increased rural population was sent to the cities as factory workers, which were needed in the Industrial Revolution. This led to a rapid increase in the urban population. The total population of pre-industrial England in 1801 was 8.32 million. The urban population was 3.66 million, or 44% of the total population. Eighty years later, in 1881, after the Industrial Revolution, the total population had tripled to 25.91 million, and the urban population had quintupled to 17.28 million, 67% of the total population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. commercialization of food has changed the value of food<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Both to increase the population and to provide food for the increased population, it is necessary to increase the production of food. The increase in the production of food was demanded in the rural areas. This situation further led to the enclosure of farmland. At the same time, farm management, in which capitalists who leased large tracts of land from landlords hired peasants as wage laborers to turn the food they produced into a commodity and make a profit from its sale, emerged and expanded. Thus, with the Industrial Revolution, communal subsistence management disappeared from English farming villages. This transformation of rural society that occurred with the Industrial Revolution in England in the latter half of the 18th century is called the Agricultural Revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000This change has profoundly altered the nature of the economy since then. Until then, in subsistence farming operations, the important factor was that food was useful to people by satisfying their hunger (this was called use value). On farms run by capitalists, however, the objective is to produce food as a commodity for the wage earners who are the consumers. For this reason, how much of the food produced is sold for and how much profit is earned (this is called the exchange value) becomes important. In other words, the value of the food produced shifted from use value to exchange value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000The costs that agriculture had incurred in the past to maintain productivity by conserving resources common to all humankind, such as air, water, and soil, became negative costs in the short term in terms of increased profits. The idea that these costs could be passed on to the natural environment and that agriculture, which consumes resources free of charge, would be more profitable, gradually gained ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. criticizing plundering agriculture without nutrient cycle, Liebig<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000It was Liebig, who lived during the Industrial Revolution, who strongly criticized this waste of resources, especially agriculture, which only takes crop nutrients from the soil and does not replenish them, thereby reducing the fertility of the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000Liebig's ideal of nutrient cycling was Japanese agriculture. In the Edo period (1603-1867), the pathways by which the urine of consumers in the then world-class metropolis of Edo was returned to the farmlands of the surrounding farming villages that provided them with food were well established from the 17th century onward (Liebig and Yoshida, 2007).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000Since the Industrial Revolution, people's lives have become more affluent and convenient, and human activities have increased (Figure 2). The soil, which is supposed to be the common property of society entrusted to us by nature, has given way to selfish economic activities in which resources are used and disposed of as they see fit. Nowadays, such activities have even led to the problem that agriculture itself has become a source of environmental pollution. We will look at the specific problems in next month's issue and thereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u3000The beginning of agriculture was the first human challenge to nature. In the sense of adding human intervention to the natural environment, it can be said to be the beginning of environmental destruction. Later, after the Industrial Revolution, human activities became so active that they altered the natural environment. Agriculture is no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000In many countries today, environmental pollution originating from agriculture is a problem. When the amount of nutrients applied to agricultural land exceeds the nutrient holding capacity of the soil, the excess nutrients flow into the groundwater, rivers, and air in the surrounding environment, causing environmental pollution. This month, we will consider the relationship between agriculture and environmental pollution.
\u3000The first issue is unique to our country, which has a low food self-sufficiency rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Changes in Japan's food self-sufficiency rate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u3000In 1960, the Japanese government made two major cabinet decisions. The first was to accelerate economic growth through the Income Doubling Plan, and the second was to enact the Basic Agricultural Law. In 1960, Japan's food self-sufficiency rate (hereafter referred to as the calorie-based total calorific value of food supply) was 79%. Since then, however, Japan's food self-sufficiency rate has continued to decline, stagnating at 38 to 39% since 2010. The target for food self-sufficiency is 45% by 2030.

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\u3000These changes in food consumption patterns and the decline in self-sufficiency rates by product category are attributable to the shift in the nation's eating habits from the \"Japanese style\" of rice and fish to the \"Western style\" of bread, pasta, and dairy and meat products. However, this change in food consumption is unlikely to be the result of a simple change in national preferences or an increase in income. Rather, it should be seen as the result of Japan's policy guidance in response to the U.S. strategy of exporting surplus agricultural products after World War II (Kashiwa, 2012).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000Sources of substances that adversely affect rivers, lakes, marshes, and other bodies of water through groundwater and surface runoff can be broadly classified into two categories: point sources (specific sources), which can be identified, and areal sources (non-specific sources), which cannot. Point sources (specific sources) and non-specific sources (non-specific sources). In addition to N, other substances such as phosphorus (P) and organic substances are discharged from these sources and cause water pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000Agricultural land, together with forests and urban areas, is treated as an expanse of land, i.e., a surface source. Pollution caused by areal sources is called areal source pollution. Because the source of this pollution is not specified, it is difficult to quantitatively determine where environmental pollutants originate and to what extent they are discharged into groundwater, rivers, and lakes. However, as the number of livestock per unit catchment area increases, the N concentration in river water increases because the amount of N released increases with the number of livestock (Figure 2). In other words, in the case of areal source pollution, an increase in the amount of pollutants discharged into the environment will certainly increase pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u3000Point source pollution in livestock farms often occurs when manure overflows from storage facilities and leaks into the environment because the size of the storage facility does not meet the appropriate capacity for the number of animals being kept. To prevent this, manure storage facilities have been regulated by the \"Law Concerning the Proper Management and Promotion of Utilization of Livestock Manure\" since 1999, and penalties have been imposed on facilities that violate the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000Livestock production in Japan has developed through dependence on imported concentrate feed. This has been the result of policy inducements since the end of World War II. This trend remains unchanged to this day, and the feed self-sufficiency rate is extremely low at 26%. Dependence on imported feed makes it possible to run a livestock business even if the farmland to produce feed for livestock is small. Thus, livestock production detached from the land increased the number of head of cattle raised, regardless of the area of land used for management. However, this means that instead of using the manure excreted daily by livestock as an important source of nutrients, it is likely to become a source of environmental pollution by dumping large amounts of manure on small farmlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
