Abstract
As a high economic value crop, Wasabi (Wasabia japonica Matsumura) would be over-fertilized by the farmer to increase the production and improve the quality. When over-fertilizing, not only the fertilizer cost is raised, but also the environment is impacted, i.e. soil and water pollution. This study is to estimate the feasible fertilization of Wasabi on A-Li Mountain by applying GLEAMS (Groundwater Loading Effects of Agricultural Management Systems) model and CLIGEN (Climate Generator) model under environmental cost and economic benefit concern. The result reveals that over-fertilization does not help the absorption of Wasabi, it leads more environmental burden instead. This research shows 1250~1750 kg/ha/yr as the estimated quantifying fertilization which may provide reference to Wasabi cultivation and to avoid the over-fertilization.
