Effects of Soil Texture on Tuber Characteristics and Yield in Dioscorea opposita Thunb

토성에 따른 마 괴경의 특성과 수량

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of soil texture on agronomic characteristics and tuber yield in chinese yam (Dioscorea opposita Thunb). Tuber length and weight was greater and tuber shape was much better in sandy loam and loam soil than in sandy or clay loam soil. In loam and sandy loam soil, fresh tuber yield was increased by $21{\sim}27%$ in short-tuber type and 6% in long-tuber type, and large tubers yield (above 260g) was increased by $45{\sim}55%$ in short-tuber type and $20{\sim}22%$ in long-tuber type compared to those in sandy soil. There was no differences in large tuber yield at the 5% level of significance between loam and sandy loam soil. Malformation of tuber with bifurcation was extremely increased in sandy soil, and tuber diameter of long-tuber type was decreased in clay loam soil compared to those of the other soil texture.

절편씨마를 이용하여 마를 재배할 경우 토성에 따른 괴경의 형태적 특성과 수량성의 차이를 단마 품종 '마1호'와 장마 품종 '안동재래종'을 공시하여 검토한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 사토에서는 괴경의 길이가 짧고 분기의 발생이 많아 괴경의 모양이 좋지 않았다. 양토와 사양토에서는 사토에 비하여 분기 발생이 적어 괴경의 모양이 양호하였으며, 괴경의 생체수량은 단마가 $21{\sim}27%$, 장마가 각 6% 증수되었고 , 상마수량은 단마가 $45{\sim}55%$, 장마가 $20{\sim}22%$ 증수되었다. 식양토에서 단마는 괴경의 분지 발생이 다소 많았으며, 장마는 괴경의 굵기가 가늘고 만곡되어 모양이 좋지 않았다.
