칼슘엽면살포 및 점적관수에 의한 사과 고두병 발생억제

Studies on the Control of Bitter Pit by Calcium Foliar Application and Drip Irrigation in Apples(Malus domestica Borkh.)

칼슘 엽면살포와 점적관수에 의한 고두병 방지방법을 구명하고자 시험한 결과는 다음과 같다. 엽면살포용 칼슘 화합물중 CaCl₂가 과실내 칼슘 함량을 가장 많이 증가시켰으며, 생육후기 살포가 생육전기 살포보다 효과가 높아 고두병 발생도 유의하게 억제시켰다. 생육기중의 한발기 관수처리는 과육의 칼슘함량을 증가시켰고, 고두병 발생도 유의하게 억제 시켰다

This study was conducted to determine the effect of several kinds of calcium foliar application and drip irrigation on the bitter pit incidence of apple. CaCl₂, inorganic calcium compound, was the most effective in increasing the calcium concentration in the fruit flesh, and reducing bitter pit incidence. Calcium spray in the later part of the growing season was more effective than in the earlier part. Drip irrigation applied during the dry spells increased calcium concentration in the fruit flesh, and reduced bitter pit incidence.
