국내 자생종인 광릉쥐오줌풀의 생육ㆍ수량 및 정유 함량에 미치는 온도 광도 및 토양 수분의 영향을 검토하여 쥐오줌풀의 재배법을 구명하고자 온도를 10, 15, 20, 25, 3$0^{\circ}C$ 등 5수준으로, 광도는 1,000, 2,500, 5,000, 20,000, 30,000, 40,000, 50,000, 60,000lux 등 8수준으로 처리하였고, 차광은 무차광 25% 차광ㆍ50% 차광구를 설치하였으며, 토양 수분 함량은 최대 용수량의 30, 45, 55, 70,.80, 90%등 6수준으로 각각 처리하여 시험한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 온도와 쥐오줌풀 잎의 광합성간에는 고도로 유의한 2차 곡선회귀가 인정되었으며, 이 회귀식에 의해 산출한 쥐오줌풀의 최대 광합성을 위한 온도는 17.7$^{\circ}C$이었다. 2. 온도와 쥐오줌풀의 엽장ㆍ엽폭ㆍ엽병장 및 근 중간에는 각각 고도로 유의 한 2차 곡선회귀가 인정되었으며, 이 회귀식에 의해 산출한 뿌리 생장의 최적 온도는 약 20.3$^{\circ}C$였다. 3. 정유 및 extract함량은 온도 조건이 15~2$0^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높았다. 4. 광도와 쥐오준풀 잎의 광합성간에는 고도로 유의한 2차 곡선회귀가 인정되었으며, 이 회귀식에 의해 산출한 쥐오줌풀의 최대 광합성을 위한 광도는 40,000lux였다. 5. 쥐오줌풀의 정유 함량은 재배지역에 따른 차광의 유무와는 관계가 없었고, 정유 성분의 조성 비율은 재배지역 및 차광에 따라 영향을 받았다. 6. 토양수분 함량이 많을수록 엽병장ㆍ엽장ㆍ엽폭ㆍ근장이 길어지고, 뿌리 수량이 많아지는 경향을 보였는데, 토양 수분 함량이 최대 용수량의 80~90%일 때 쥐오줌풀의 생육이 양호하였고, 근중이 가장 많았다. 7. 쥐오줌풀 뿌리의 정유 및 extract함량은 토양 수분 함량이 90%에서 가장 많았고, 토양 수분함량이 낮을수록 감소하였다.
This experiment was conducted to obtain information for the cultivation of Korean valerian(Valeriana lauriei var. dasycarpa Hara) which will be useful for medicinal and aromatic resources. The effect of different temperature conditions, light intensities and soil water conditions on growth, yield and component of essential oil of V. fauriei were measured at the Dankook University, Cheonan, and a study on the shading treatment was at Umsung, Chungchongbukdo, and Jinbu, Kangwondo, in 1995. V. laudei was planted at five different temperature conditions, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 3$0^{\circ}C$, eight light intensity conditions, 1, 000, 2, 500, 5, 000, 20, 000, 30, 000, 40, 000, 50, 000 and 60, 000lux, six soil water contents, 30, 45, 55, 70, 80 and 90% of the saturated soil, during growth stage. Shading treatment was three conditions, 0, 25 and 50%, during the daytime in field conditions. Photosynthesis had a highly significant relationship with temperature conditions in a quadratic regression model, from which the temperature for the plant growth was estimated to be 17.7$^{\circ}C$. A highly significant quadratic regression was noted between temperature and leaf width or root weight of V. fauriei. It was estimated from the regression equation that the optimum temperature for root growth was 20.3$^{\circ}C$. The content of essential oil and extract rate of root was the highest in the 15~2$0^{\circ}C$. Photosynthesis also was significantly affected by light intensity in a quadratic regression model, from which the optimum light intensity for the growth was estimated to be 40, 000lux. Root yield was more produced in Jinbu than that of in Umsung. The root yield was increased by the shading treatment in Umsung, whereas it was decreased by the shading treatment in Jinbu. The content of essential oil was not affected by the shading treatment of plants during the cultivation, while the compositions of components of essential oil were related to the growing locations. As soil water content was higher, the growth and content of root extract were increased. The optimum soil moisture for the growth of V. fauriei was 80~90% of the saturated soil. In summary, the results indicated that the growth, yield and component of essential oil in V. fauriei were affected by environmental factors as well as soil moisture.
