Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of several substrates; used rockwool, several spent mushroom composts, and common used media, such as rockwool and vermiculite, on growth and fruit quality of cucumber. Cucumber grew dramatically in the rockwool+peatmoss (1:2 v/v) (RP) and fine granular rockwool in hydroponic system using Yamaztiki's solution for cucumbers. The yield of cucumber fruit was highest in recycled winter mushroom compost (RW), and followed by 100% perlite (Par), recycled oyster mushroom compost (RO), and RR but there was no significant difference among these three media. Soluble solid and firmness were higher in Per and vermiculite (Ver), and any difference was not found among the others. Vitamin C was not influenced by kind of substrate. The results confirm that several reused or recycled substrates have high possibilities for use as medium for hydroponic culture in cucumber.

오이의 생육과 괴실의 품질에 미치는 폐암면, 몇가지 폐버섯 배지, 밤나무 파쇄입자, 질석, 펄라이트, 상용암면의 효과를 실험한 바 다음과 같은 결괴를 얻었다. 야마자키 조성 오이 배양액을 이용한 배지경에서 식물체 생육은 폐암면내피트모스 혼용구와 입상 UR 암면에서 좋았다. 그러나 오이 총수량은 폐팽이버섯 배지에서 가장 많았다. 다음으로 펄라이트, 폐애느타리버섯 배지, 폐암면+피트모스(1:2 v/v) 순서였는데 이들 세 처리 간에는 유의차가 없었다. 당도와 경도는 펄라이트와 질석구에서 높았으며 그 이외는 처리구 상호간에 큰 차이가 없었다. 비타민 C 함량은 배지구간에 일정한 경향이 없었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 폐배지도 오이의 수경재배 배지로 이용 가능성이 매우 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
