Abstract

The effect of the foliar application of amino acid mixture on the growth of melon (Cucumis melo L.) seedlings was investigated. The amino acid treatments were initiated at the first (Ll) or second (L2) fully expanded leaf stage. The concentrations of amino acid mixture used were 0,10, 20, and 30 mg . L$^{-1}$ . At Ll stage, the fresh and dry weights of shoot were high in the amino acid treatments. Plant height was the highest in 30 mg . L$^{-1}$ at the third sampling of Ll. At L2 stage, shoot fresh weight was the greatest when the concentration of amino acid mixture was 30 mg.L$^{-1}$ at the third sampling. Plant height was the highest in 30 mg L$^{-1}$ at the second and third samplings. At the third sampling of Ll stage the amino acid mixture affected leaf length and leaf width of the first true leaf. At the third sampling of L2 stage leaf length was not significantly dirtferent between treatments, while leaf width was greater in amino acid treatments. At the second and third samplings of Ll stage the amino acid mixture had effect on leaf length and leaf width of the second true leafs which were not significantly different between treatments at L2 stage. Leaf length and leaf width of the third true leaf were affected by amino acid treatments. In conclusion, when the first true leaf expanded\ulcorner three foliar applications of 20-30 mg . L$^{-1}$ amino acid mixture can stimulate the growth of melon seedlings. If the amino acid mixture is sprayed at the second true leaf stage, two foliar applications of 30 mg . L$^{-1}$ amino acid mixture can improve the growth of melon seedlings.

아미노산 엽면 시비가 멜론 묘의 생육에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 처리 시기는 본엽 1매 전개시(Ll)와 2매 전개시(L2)로 나누었고, 아미노산 농도는 무처리구, 10, 20, 30 mg . L$^{-1}$로 설정하였다. Ll에서 생체중과 건물중은 아미노산 처리구에서 높았다. 초장은 3차 조사시에 Ll-30에서 가장 높게 나타났다. L2에서 3차 조사시 생체중은 L2-30처리구에서 높게 나타났다. 초장은 2차와 3차 조사시 L2-30에서 높게 나타났다. 제1본엽의 염장과 엽폭의 경우, Ll의 3차 조사시 처리 효과가 나타났다. L2에서 염장은 처리구간에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았고, 엽폭은 3차 조사시에 아미노산 처리구에서 높게 나타났다 제2본엽의 염장과 엽폭은 Ll의 2차와 3차 조사시에 아미노산 처리구들에서 높게 나타났다. L2에서는 처리구간에 유의적인 차이를 보이지는 않았다 제7본엽의 염장과 엽폭은 시비 및 조사 시기에 관계없이 처리간에 유의성을 보이지는 않았다. 이상의 결과, 제1본엽이 전개된 후 아미노산의 농도를 20mg. L$^{-1}$ 이상, 회수를 3회 이상 엽면살포 하거나, 제2본엽이 전개된 후 아미노산을 시비할 경우에는 아미노산 농도를 30 mg . L$^{-1}$으로 설정하고 회수를 2회 이상 시비한다면 생육이 향상된 묘를 생산할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
