Abstract
This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of root zone warming on rhizosphere temperature of Oriental melon (Cucumis melo L. var. Makuwa) in winter season. Root zone was warmed by hot water flowing through pipe set at 35cm depth from the ridge. Treatments of minimum soil temperature at 20cm depth were 17, 21, $25^{\circ}C$, and non-warmed from Jan. 18 to Apr. 18. The results are summarized as follows. 1. The cumulative soil temperature for 1 month after planting oriental melon was 441, 558, 648, and 735$^{\circ}C$ at control, 17, 21, and $25^{\circ}C$ plot, respectively. 2. As soil temperature was higher, air temperature in tunnel was higher. The lowest temperature in control plot at night was 9.5$^{\circ}C$, 11.$0^{\circ}C$ in 17$^{\circ}C$ plot, 13.5$^{\circ}C$ in 21$^{\circ}C$ plot, and 16.5$^{\circ}C$ in $25^{\circ}C$ plot, respectively. 3. The xylem exudate amount of control plot for 24 hours just after basal stem abscission was 8.1$m\ell$. It was 1.2 times higher in 17$^{\circ}C$ plot, 1.3 times higher in 21 $^{\circ}C$ plot, and 4.8 times higher in $25^{\circ}C$ plot than in control plot at 30 days after planting. The xylem exudate amount at 67 days after planting of control plot was 10.4$m\ell$, those of 17, 21, $25^{\circ}C$ plots were 1.1, 3.2, and 3.3 times as compared to control plot. 4, Early growth in leaf length, stem diameter, leaf number and leaf area for 30 days after planting were better in higher temperature plots than in control plot. Particularly, the increase of leaf area was striking in higher temperature plots. Leaf area of control plot was 279.5$\textrm{cm}^2$ for 30 days after planting, 153.4% in 17$^{\circ}C$ plot, 745.6% in 21$^{\circ}C$ plot and 879.4% in $25^{\circ}C$ plot were increased as compared to in control plot.
참외 금싸라기은천을 신토좌 대목에 호접하여 저온기 참외 시설재배시 지중가온의 효과를 구명하고자, 비닐 하우스내에 온수보일러를 설치하여 지하 35cm 부위에 15mm 엑셀파이프를 180cm 이랑에 2열 매설한 후, 지하 20cm의 최저 지온을 17$^{\circ}C$, 21$^{\circ}C$ 및 $25^{\circ}C$로 설정하고 1월 18일부터 4월 18일까지 일정하게 유지 관리하여 무가온구와 비교 시험한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 지중가온에 의한 정식 후 1개월간의 지중 20cm 부위의 적산온도는 무가온구가 441$^{\circ}C$, 17$^{\circ}C$구는 558$^{\circ}C$, 21$^{\circ}C$구는 648$^{\circ}C$ 그리고 $25^{\circ}C$구는 735$^{\circ}C$였다. 2. 지중가온에 따른 터널내 보온효과는 지온이 높을수록 높았는데 2월 5일 무가온구의 터널내 야간 최저 기온은 9.5$^{\circ}C$인데 비하여 17$^{\circ}C$구에서는 11.$0^{\circ}C$, 21$^{\circ}C$구에서는 13.5$^{\circ}C$ 그리고 $25^{\circ}C$구에서는 16.5$^{\circ}C$였다. 3. 정식 30일까지의 초기생육은 지온이 높을수록 초장, 경경, 엽수 및 엽면적이 증가하였으며 특히 고지온구에서 엽면적의 증가가 뚜렷하였다. 정식 30일 후 무가온구의 엽면적 279.5$\textrm{cm}^2$에 비하여 17$^{\circ}C$구에서는 153.4%, 21$^{\circ}C$구에서는 745.6a 그리고 $25^{\circ}C$구에서는 879.4% 정도 증가하였다. 4. 정식 30일 후 지제부를 절단하여 24시간 동안 채취한 목부일비액량은 무가온구의 8.1$m\ell$에 비해 17$^{\circ}C$구에서는 1.2배, 21$^{\circ}C$구에서는 1.3배 그리고 $25^{\circ}C$구에서는 4.8배 많았으나 정식 67일 후에는 무가온구의 10.4$m\ell$에 비해 각각 1.1배, 3.2배 및 3.3배 많았다.
