Abstract

Daily last time of irrigation in perlite bag culture was investigated to get high water use efficiency (WUE) and fertilizer use efficiency (FUE) and also sustain high productivity for tomato. The water content in the substrate was higher as the last time of irrigation was later from 4 to 1hour before sunset. The growth were not significantly different in all treatments. The marketable yield was the highest in treatments of 1 or 2hours before sunset and the lowest in treatment of 4hours. In the result to investigate for 128days WUE and FUE were the lowest in treatment of 1hour before sunset but the highest in treatment of 3hours before sunset. In the conclusion, it looks best to end irrigation 2~3hours before sunset in the aspects of plant growth, yield, WUE, and FUE.

펄라이트 자루재배시 일중 관수마감시각을 달리함으로써 최적 생장을 유지하면서도 용수이용효율(WUE)과 비료이용효율(FUE)을 높이기 위해 실험을 실시하였다. 관수마감시각에 따라 일몰 1시간 전부터 4시간 전까지 4단계로 나누어 처리한 결과, 배지 내 수분함량은 마감시각이 늦을수록 많은 경향을 나타냈다. 최종 생육은 일몰 4시간 전 처리구에서 약간 낮은 경향을 보이기는 했으나, 통계적 유의차는 보이지 않았다. 상품수량은 일몰 1시간 전 및 2시간 전에서 가장 많았고, 4시간전에서 가장 적었다. 관수마감시각 처리별 128일 동안의 급액량을 조사한 결과, WUE와 FUE는 일몰마감 1시간 전 처리구에서 가장 낮았고, 3시간 전 처리구에서 가장 높았다. 식물생육, 수확량 및 WUE와 FUE 등의 면에서 일몰 4시간 전에 관수를 중단하는 것은 바람직하지 않으며, 2~3시간 전에 마감하는 것이 좋을 것으로 사료된다.
