Abstract

The efficient timer-controlled irrigation and the favorable fruiting position were investigated far highly quality melon fruits from Feb.18 to July Si 1999. The nutrient solution was supplied either at every hour from 6：00 to 18：00 (T-1) or at 6：00, 8：00, 10：00, 11：00, 12：00, 12：30, 13：00, 13：30, 14：00, 14：30, IS：00,16：00, and 17：00 (T-2). A fruit was set at the first node of the fruit bearing branch from the 10, 12, or 13th node of the main stem. Pot weight was maintained at almost n constant level, regardless of the daily integrated solar radiation in T-2. Soluble solids content (SSC) and fresh weight of fruit were not significantly different among the irrigation treatments at each harvesting time. At the first harvest, SSC and fresh weight of fruit were not significantly different between the fruiting positions within the irrigation treatment. At the second harvest, SSC was higher in T-2 than T-1. The SSC was low in the fruit of the loth node in T-1, while it was not significantly different between fruiting positions in T-2. Fruit fresh weight was the highest at the 12 and 13th nodes in T-1, and the 13th node in T-2. Fresh and dry weights of leaf except petiole, regardless of harvesting time, increased as the node position was higher, The higher the fruiting position was, the lower the leaf weight was. Therefore, it is recommended to irrigate more frequently during the mid-noon. Fruits can be harvested earlier at the lower nodes in the spring crop production.

본 연구는 타이머 제어에 의한 관수 시간과 착과절위가 과실 품질에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해서 1999년 2월 18일부터 7월 5일까지 수행되었다. 타이머에 의한 시간별 급액 처리는 6：00부터 18：00까지 한 시간 간격으로 관수된 것(T-1)과 6：00, 8：00, 10：00, 11：00, 12：00, 12：30, 13：00, 13：30, 14：00, 14：30, 15：00, 16：00, 및 17：00에 관수된 것(T-2)로 설정하였다. 과실은 그루당 1개씩 착과 시켰으며, 착과절위처리는 10, 12혹은 13절위 중 한 절에 착과시켰다. 포트 무게는 일일 적산 일사량과 무관하게 T-2에서 안정적인 값을 유지하였다. 당도와 과중은 수확시기별로 관수 처리구간에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 1차 수확에서 당도와 과중은 관수 처리별 착과 절위간에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았던 반면. 2차 수확에서 당도는 T-1 처리구보다 T-2처리구에서 전반적으로 높았다. 착과절위별 비교 실험에서, T-1 처리구에서는 10절에서 낮았던 반면 T-2처리구에서는 착과절위별 차이를 보이지 않았다. 과중은 T-1 처리구의 12, 13절 그리고 T-2 처리구에서는 13절에서 가장 높았다. 엽병을 제외한 잎의 생체중과 건물중은 수확시기와 무관하게 높은 절위에서 높게 나타났다. 착과절위가 높을수록 엽중은 낮았다. 결과적으로, 관수는 낮에 자주 행하는 것이 바람직하며, 또한 봄 재배시 멜론 과실을 낮은 절위에 착과시키면 수확 시기를 앞당길 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
