Abstract

This study was established to control the overgrowth of cucumber and tomato plug seedlings by controlling of irradiation timings light intensities of red (R) light. Compared with the control, end-of-day (EOD) timing of R irradiation significantly reduced the seeding heights by 21.3% and 14.2% in cucumber and tomato, respectively. In addition, both plant seedlings treated with R light at EOD timing had the thickest stem diameter. Tomato seedlings treated with R light at EOD showed th highest chlorophyll content and the smallest leaf size. Dry weights of above ground plant tissue in both plant seedlings were significantly reduced by EOD R light treatment. And both plant seedlings treated with EOD treatment had the lowest T/R ratio, and the highest compactness rates. The increased intensities of R light resulted in the shorter plant heights in cucumber and tomato plant seedlings. It also reduced the length of hypocotyls and internodes and the size of leaves in the both seedlings. Elevated R light intensities tended to increase the stem diameter and chlorophyll contents. Dry weights of above ground plant tissue and roots in both plant seedlings were reduced by the elevated R irradiation. Cucumber seedlings treated with 2 and 8 $mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ and tomato seedlings treated with 8 ${\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ had significantly lower T/R ratio the other treatments tested.

본 연구는 오이와 토마토의 플러그 묘 공정육묘시 발생하는 도장 억제를 위한 적생광 처리시기와 광도의 영향을 알아보기 위해 실험을 수행하였다. 일몰 휴, 야간 및 일출 전 적색광 처리시기에 의한 묘의 도장억제는 일몰 후 처리가 오이와 토마토의 초장을 각각 21.3%와 14.2%로 가장 크게 억제하였고, 경경의 굵기도 가장 두꺼웠다. 엽록소함량은 토마토에서만 일몰 후 처리된 플러스묘의 함량이 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 적색광 초리시기에 의한 두 작물의 건물중을 보면, 대조구에 비해 지상부 건물중은 일몰 후와 일출 전 적색광 처리에 의해 유의적인 감소를 보였다. 오이와 토마토 플러그묘의 T/R율은 일몰 후 처리에서 타 처리에 비해 가장 작았으며 조ㅈ직의 충실도는 밀몰 후 처리에서 가장 크게 나타났다. 광도별 처리에 의한 초장은 오이와 토마토 플러그묘 모두에서 광도가 증가함에 따라 초장은 감소하였다. 하배출, 절간장 및 엽면적도 초장과 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 두 작물 모두 경경과 엽록소함량 및 조직의 충실도는 광도가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 하지만 지상부와 지하부의 건물율은 광도의 증가에 따라 감소하는 경향이 나타났으며, 오이는 2 및 8 ${\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$의 적색광 처리구에서 토마토는 8 ${\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$처리구에서 가장 낮은 T/R율을 나타내었다.
