The Relationship between Sweetness and Irrigation according to Integrated Solar Radiation in Substrate Culture of Cherry Tomato

방울토마토 고형 배지경에서의 적산일사량에 따른 관수와 당도와의 관계

It was studied about the effects of irrigation schedules by integrated solar radiation on fruit sweetness of cherry tomato in perlite and polyurethane(PUR) culture. In PUR culture. the brix % was decreased with frequent irrigation and their differences were increased as high as the cluster. The brix % in PUR culture was higher than in perlite culture and their differences were large in proportion as the Plant grew when the Percentage of drainage was 25%. The a＊ value, expressing red color. was not affected by irrigation schedules when the medium was PUR. On the other hand, the value of a＊ in PUR was higher than that in perlite. and its tendency was large as high as the cluster. The fresh weight of fruit was higher in perlite culture than in PUR culture. From this study it Is recommended that the percentage of drainage is maintained to 25% in PUR culture in view of Productivity and quality of fruits.

PUR 배지와 펄라이트 배지를 이용하여 방울토마토를 재배할 경우 적산일사량에 따른 관수가 과실의 당도에 미치는 효과에 대해서 연구하였다. PUR 배지경의 경우 관수량이 많을수록 당도가 낮은 경향을 보였으며 상위화방으로 갈수록 차이가 크게 나타났다 배액량을 25%로 했을 때 펄라이트 배지에 비해 PUR 배지에서 당도가 높게 나타났으며 생육이 진행됨에 따라서 그 차이가 커졌다. 과실의 붉은 정도를 나타내는 a＊값은 PUR 배지간에는 관수량에 따라 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나 펄라이트 배지와는 상당한 차이를 보여 3, 4, 5화방에서는 뚜렷하게 PUR이 높은 값을 나타내었다. 과중은 펄라이트 재배에서 높았으며 PUR 배지경에서는 배액량을 25%로 하는 것이 고당도 과실을 다수확 할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
