Abstract

Overhead and sub-irrigation of deep sea water to tomato seedlings reduced the height as 50% and 58% than control plants. In the same treatment with surface sea water and NaCl water, the reduced rate in tomato seedlings' height were 49% and 56% in overhead irrigation, and 47% and 57% in sub-irrigation, respectively. Most effective method for the inhibition of the growth of the seedling was sub-irrigation method, which supplied water through the roots. No significant difference was observed on fresh weight of the upper part of tomato and cucumber seedlings, though the sub-irrigation reduced the fresh weight than the overhead irrigation. The reduced rate of fresh weight of seedlings by overhead irrigation was by 38% and sub-irrigation by 49% as compared to control. Similarly dry weight of upper and under soil parts of seedlings showed same trend of results thereof as fresh weight. This result can be traced to reduction of growth caused by salts in the water. In stem diameter of seedlings no significant difference was observed between two irrigation methods, even though both deep sea and NaCl water reduced stem diameter, as compared to control water. Overhead irrigation can be chosen by seedling producers because of better seedling quality by using TH ratio. Seedling compactness were not noticed in both the overhead and sub-irrigation. Sub-irrigation was found more effective method far the inhibition of height and compactness of tomato seedlings. Higher the concentration of NaCl, deep sea, and surface sea water, lesser the growth in height, fresh and dry weight, stem diameter, and leaf area was obtained. No significant difference was found, though sub-irrigation suppress the growth of seedlings.

토마토 초장의 경우 심층수처리는 대조구에 비해 두상관수는 50%, 저면관수는 58% 감소하였고, 표층수 처리구에서는 두상관수는 49%, 저면관수는 56% 감소하였으며, NaCl 처리구에서는 두상관수는 47%, 저면관수는 57%감소하여 저면관수 처리방법이 도장억제에 더 효과적이었다. 지상부 생체중의 경우 두상관수보다 저면관수에서 더 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 뚜렷한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 지하부 생체중 대조구에 비하여 두상관수는 38%정도 감소한 반면 저면관수는 49% 정도 감소하여, 저면관수에 의해 생육이 현저히 억제되는 결과를 보였다. 지상부와 지하부의 건물중은 생체중과 비슷한 경향을 나타냈다. 이와 같은 결과는 염에 의한 뿌리생육의 저하 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 경경은 대조구에 비해 감소하였지만 처리 방법 간에 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지는 않았다. T/R률에 비추어 보면 두상관수 처리에서 묘소질이 더 뛰어났으나, 묘의 충실도(compactness)는 처리구간 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 토마토의 경우 초장의 억제정도나 묘의 충실도에 비춰보아 저면관수 방법이 도장억제에 더 효과적이라 사료된다. 오이의 경우 처리 농도의 증가에 따라 초장, 생체중, 건물중, 경경, 엽면적이 감소하였다. 저면관수가 두상관수에 비해 도장억제 효과와, 생육억제가 좀 더 뚜렷이 나타나기는 하였으나 두 처리간의 유의적 차이는 나타나지 않았다.
