참깨의 파종기별(播種期別) 플라스틱필름 피복이 근권토양수분(根圈土壤水分) 및 지온(地溫)에 미치는 영향(影響)과 그에 따른 초기생육(初期生育)의 변화(變化)

Field experiment was carried out in order to clarify effects of plastic film mulching on temperature and moisture of rhizosphere soil and their subsequent effects on seedling emergence, earlier growth, vegetative growth and grain yield of sesame. The textural class of the experimental field soil was the sandy loam(Bonyang series) and the variety of sesame planted was "Ansan-ggae". The experiment was conducted by combining four sowing dates of April 25, May 10, May 25, June 10 and two mulching treatments(mulching, non-mulching) over two year of 1991 and 1992. The results were summarized as follows : 1. The daily mean soil temperature of 5cm deep soil was increased by 1.4 to $2.8^{\circ}C$ by plastic film mulching. The average soil water content was increased by 0.5 to 3.0%(V/V) in the drier season, while decreased by 1.0 to 2.0%(V/V) in the rainy season by mulching. 2. The establishment rate of sesame seedling was very sensitive to soil temperature. For normal seedling emergence, from the seeding date to the 7th date after sowing, the daily mean soil temperature higher than $21.0^{\circ}C$ was required at the experimental field conditions. 3. The average soil water content in the range of 14.0 to 21.0%(V/V) at 5cm deep soil seemed not to be limiting for the germination and emergence of sesame. The effect of soil water content on seedling establishment was very small in this range, but the optimum level of soil water content ranged from 14.0 to 15.0%(V/V) in the experimented sandy loam. 4. The wetter the soil profile was, the larger the gap of soil temperature between the mulched and non-mulched condition was. The effect of mulching on the establishment rate of sesame seedlings was much greater in the lower air temperature conditions. However, when the sowing of sesame came earlier than at the date with the daily mean air temperature below $19.0^{\circ}C$, the effects of earlier sowing and mulching were offsetted by the retarded seedling growth due to the low air temperature, and thus earlier sowing with mulching did not enhance the grain yield of sesame.

본(本) 연구(硏究)는 참깨의 Plastic film(polyethylene)멀칭 재배(栽培)에 있어서 멀칭이 지온(地溫)과 근권(根圈)의 토양수분(土壤水分) 함량(含量)에 미치는 영향(影響)과 그것이 참깨의 입묘(立苗) 및 초기생육(初期生育)에 미치는 영향(影響)을 밝히고자 수행(遂行)되었다. 시험(試驗)은 사양토(砂壤土)인 시험포지(試驗圃地)에 품종(品種) 안산깨를 공시(供試)하여 실시(實施)하였는데 참깨재배에서 조우(遭遇)할 수 있는 충분(充分)한 환경변이하(環境變異下)에서의 멀칭효과(效果)를 밝히고자 파종기(播種期)를 4월(月) 25일(日), 5월(月) 10일(日), 5월(月) 25일(日) 및 6월(月) 10일(日)의 4수준(水準)으로 하고, 1991년(年)과 1992년(年)의 2개년(個年) 동일시험(同一試驗)을 반복실시(反復實施)하였다. 그 주요(主要)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 1. 참깨재배에 있어서 polyethylene film mulching은 파종기(播種期), 년차(年次), 생육기(生育期)에 따라 다르지만 근권(根圈)의 지온(地溫)을 일평균(日平均) $1.4{\sim}2.8^{\circ}C$ 상승(上昇)시키고, 근권토양수분(根圈土壤水分)은 일평균치(日平均値)로 건기(乾期)에는 0.5~3.0% 증가(增加)시키는 반면(反面), 강우량(降雨量)이 많은 시기(時期)에는 1.0~2.0% 정도(程度) 감소(減少)시켰다. 2. 참깨의 발아(發芽) 및 입묘세(立苗勢)는 지온(地溫)의 차이(差異)에 대단히 민감(敏感)하게 반응(反應)하였는데 파종후(播種後) 7일이내(日以內)에 정상적(正常的)으로 출현(出現)하려면 종자위치(種子位置)(토심(土深) 5cm)의 지온(地溫)이 일평균(日平均) $21.0^{\circ}C$이상(以上)이어야 했다. 3. 참깨의 발아(發芽) 및 입묘(立苗)는 종자위치(種子位置)의 토양수분함량(土壤水分含量)이 14.0~21.0%(V/V) (-0.4bar~-2.0bar) 범위(範圍)이면 제한요인(制限要因)이 아니었고, 이 범위내(範圍內)에서 토양수분(土壤水分)의 영향(影響)은 미미(微微)했으나 사양토(砂壤土)에서 14.0~15.0%(V/V) (-2.0~-2.5bar)일 경우 최고수분조건(最適水分條件)이었다. 4. 멀칭에 의한 일평균(日平均) 지온상승(地溫上昇)의 효과(效果)는 토양수분(士壤水分) 함량(含量)이 높을 경우 컸으며, 멀칭에 의한 입묘세(立苗勢)의 증대효과(增大效果)는 기온(氣溫)이 낮은 경우 현저(顯著)히 컸지만 파종기(播種期)가 일평균(日平均) 기온(氣溫)이 $19^{\circ}C$보다 저온(低溫)인 시기(時期)에는 입묘후생초기(立苗後生育初期)에는 묘지상부(苗地上部)가 저온(低溫)에 의해 생육(生育)이 억제(抑制)되었다.
