Abstract

Radiation use efficiency (RUE), the amount of biomass produced per unit intercepted photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), constitutes a main part of crop growth simulation models. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the variation of RUE of rice plants under various nitrogen nutritive conditions. from 1998 to 2000, shoot dry weight (DW), intercepted PAR of rice canopies, and nitrogen nutritive status were measured in various nitrogen fertilization regimes using japonica and Tongil-type varieties. These data were used for estimating the average RUEs before heading and the relationship between RUE and the nitrogen nutritive status. The canopy extinction coefficient (K) increased with the growth of rice until maximum tillering stage and maintained constant at about 0.4 from maximum tillering to heading stage, rapidly increasing again after heading stage. The DW growth revealed significant linear correlation with the cumulative PAR interception of the canopy, enabling the estimation of the average RUE before heading with the slopes of the regression lines. Average RUE tended to increase with the increased level of nitrogen fertilization. RUE increased approaching maximum as the nitrogen nutrition index (NNI) calculated by the ratio of actual shoot N concentration to the critical N concentration for the maximum growth at any growth stage and the specific leaf nitrogen $(SLN;\;g/m^2\;leaf\;area)$ increased. This relationship between RUE (g/MJ of PAR) and N nutritive status was expressed well by the following exponential functions: $$RUE=3.13\{1-exp(-4.33NNNI+1.26)\}$$ $$RUE=3.17\{1-exp(-1.33SLN+0.04)\}$$ The above equations explained, respectively, about 80% and 75% of the average RUE variation due to varying nitrogen nutritive status of rice plants. However, these equations would have some limitations if incorporated as a component model to simulate the rice growth as they are based on relationships averaged over the entire growth period before heading.

본 연구는 벼의 질소영양 상태가 광 이용효율에 미치는 영향을 검토하여 벼 생육모델을 구축하기 위한 기초자료를 얻기 위해 수행되었다. 1998년부터 2000년까지 3개년에 걸쳐서 일반계 및 통일계 품종을 공시하여 다양한 질소시비 조건에서 건물중, 군락의 흡광량 및 질소영양 상태를 조사하였고, 이들 자료를 이용하여 군락의 광 이용효율 및 광 이용효율과 질소영양 상태와의 관련성을 검토하였다. 벼 군락의 흡광계수(K)는 최고분얼기까지 벼의 생장과 함께 증가하다가, 최고분얼기에서 출수기까지는 0.4정도로 일정하게 유지되고, 출수기 이후부터 다시 급격하게 증가하였다. 출수전 벼 군락의 누적 PAR interception과 건물중과는 직선 회귀관계가 성립하였고, 이 직선 회귀계수를 이용하여 군락의 출수전 평균 광 이용효율(RUE, g/MJ of PAR)을 추정하였는데, 평균 RUE는 질소시비량이 많을수록 높아지는 경향이었다. 벼에서 출수전의 RUE는 질소영양 상태를 나타내는 질소영양지수(NNI, nitrogen nutrition index) 및 비엽 질소농도(SLN, specific leaf nitrogen concentration; $g/m^2$ leaf area)가 증대됨에 따라 최대 RUE에 점근하는 다음과 같은 지수함수로 잘 표현할 수 있었다. $$RUE=3.13\{1-exp(-4.33NNNI+1.26)\}$$ $$RUE=3.17\{1-exp(-1.33SLN+0.04)\}$$ 위의 식은 질소영양 조건에 따른 RUE의 변이를 각각 80%와 75% 정도를 설명할 수 있다. 여기에서 구해진 RUE와 NNI 및 SLN 관계는 출수전 전 기간의 평균적인 관계에 근거한 것으로서, 벼 생육모델의 건물중 추정의 구성모델(component model)로서 활용하는 데는 한계가 있으며, 건물중 추정 구성모델로 이용하기 위해서는 보다 짧은 기간을 대상으로 이와 같은 분석이 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.
