Abstract

Seedling mechanization of lettuce is known to be difficult due to the small seed size and the irregular seed shape. The purpose of seed pelleting is to make seedling mechanization possible by enlarging the seed size. After that, it can reduce seedling and thinning labours and can also save seeds. According to the results, there were significant differences on the percent germination and day to 50% final germination in accordance with the pelleting polymer. Among the pelleting polymer, gemination of seeds using polynimyl alcohol (PVA) was generally smooth, and followed by polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), methyl cellulose (MC), and wteen 80. The germination rate was also different according to the pelleting particulate matters. Generally, percent germination and speed of seed using the mixture of diatomaceous earth, talc and calcium carbonate were higher and faster than using other polleting materials, respectively. Thus, it should be suitable pelleting particulate matter for the pelleting of lettuce seeds. On the other hands germination of seeds using limestone, calcium oxide and benonite were low. The seed size of lettuce after pelleting was 33 times as large as the raw seed size. During the process of seed pelleting, netrient addition induced the decrement on the germination and the delay of germination speed. Also, there was differences in the germinability of pelleted seeds in accordance with the addition of nutrient sources. MS medium was generally lower than monosodium phosphate in inhibition of seed germination. Germination of pelleted seeds after priming was higher than the seeds without the treatment, and also showed the trend of early germination.

상추종자는 크기가 불균일하여 기계화 파종이 어렵다. 펠렛의 목적은 종자크기를 증가시켜 기계화 파종을 가능하게 하여 파종과 솎음노력을 절감하고 종자를 절약하는데 있다. 펠렛 접착제 종류 및 농도에 따라 발아율과 발아일수에는 큰 차이가 있었다. 사용된 접착제 가운데 polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)에서 전반적으로 발아가 원활하였고 다음이 polyvinyl pyrrolidone(PVP), hydroxyethyl cellulose(HEC), methyl cellulose(MC), tween 80 순으로 나타났다. 펠렛 파복물질의 종류에 따라 발아율이 달랐는데 전반적으로 diatomaceous earth 및 talc + calcium carbonate가 다른 펠렛 피복물질에 비해 발아율도 높고 발아일수도 다눅되어 상추의 종자 펠렛에 적합한 피복물질이었다. 반면 Limestone, calcium oxide, bentonite 등은 발아율이 저조하였다. 상추종자는 펠렛 후 종자의 크기가 33배 증가되었다. 펠렛종자에 영양물질 첨가는 발아율이 약간 감소되었고, 발아일수도 지연되는 경향이었다. 첨가되는 영양물질의 급원에 따라서도 펠렛종자의 발아력에도 차이가 있었는데, 대체적으로 MS medium이 monosodium phosphate 보다 발아억제 정도가 낮았다. Priming 후 펠렛된 종자는 무처리 종자를 펠렛한 경우에 비해 발아율이 높았고 조기발아 하였다.
