Abstract

Sodium is known to reduce a plant growth and yields. However, the relationships between physiological response of seedling and salinity stress caused by growing media are not well understood yet. We conducted experiments to investigate change of some parameters including Na, EC, moisture content in media under different air temperature ($15^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$), and the response of fruit-vegetables such as cucumber, oriental melon on saline conditions originated from horticultural substrate. Volumetric moisture content of media at $15^{\circ}C$ was 70%, but at $25^{\circ}C$ was decreased by 45% within 22 hrs, showing below optimal matric potential, approximately. During reaction time, the increase of Na concentration was significantly greater in saline substrate than in control. The decrease rate of Na concentration according to supplying irrigation water was higher in saline substrate than in control. $CO_2$ assimilation rate and transpiration rate of Korea melon grown in low temperature were decreased with a Na/cation ratio in hydroponic solution. Water saturation deficit was also increased significantly at $15^{\circ}C$ as compare to $25^{\circ}C$. Saline stress during nursery stage induced a reduction of seedling quality, growth and cucumber yield. The results suggest that the relationship between uncontrolled Na uptake of seedling from saline substrate and meteological condition is responsible for saline stress.

상토에 함유된 Na이온이 과채류의 육묘에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 온도조건에 따른 상토의 수분변화, Na이온 및 EC의 경시적 변화, 광합성율, 증산율, 잎의 수분상태, 묘소질, 생육 및 수량성에 대한 실험을 실시하였다. 육묘온도가 $15^{\circ}C$에서는 상토의 수분감소는 적어 3일이 경과하더라도 관수개시점에 도달하지 않았다. 관수 1시간 후 부터 상토로부터 Na 이온이 유리되어 22시간이 지날 때 까지 Na의 농도가 계속 증가하였으며 Na 함량의 증가에 따라 EC의 상승이 있었다. 또한 관수회수가 증가함에 따라 Na의 세탈에 따른 Na 농도가 감소되었고 Na 농도감소에 비해 EC의 감소폭은 적은 편이었다. 양이온 비율중 Na 함량이 60% 이상일 경우 저온에서는 광합성율, 증산율의 감소가 큰 편이었고 포화수분부족도 또한 저온에서 큰 폭으로 높아졌다. Na 함량이 높은 상토에서 육묘된 오이묘는 초장, 세근수 등이 대조상토에 비해 낮은 편이었고 본포 정식후에도 생육이 불량하여 48%정도의 수량감소를 초래하였다.
