Abstract

To investigate the effect of leaf removal on enlargement and coloring of persimmon fruits (Diospyros kaki L. cv. 'Fuyu'), four treatments control (0%), 20%, 50%, and 100% depend on leaf removal of fruit bearing branch were applied to persimmon trees. Sunlight intensities around fruits with treatments depend on removal level, compared with natural sunlight intensity (100 percentage level), was 7.9%, 13.6%, 16.4%, and 30%, respectively. Hunter $a^*$ of the fruit with control and 20% removal treatments to harvest season increased continuously. $Chroma^*$ of the fruit since the removal treatments of leaves increased continuously in all treatments, but from seventh week that had a decreasing tendency. The fruit weight and diameter were significantly heavy and short in treatments with 100% removal level. L/D ratio of the fruits had a significant difference between control and the other treatments. Soluble solids of the fruits lowed significantly in treatment with 50% removal level. Hunter $a^*$ of the fruits was better in treatments with control and 20% removal levels, Hunter $b^*$ and $Chroma^*$ lowed significantly in treatment with 20% removal level. $\beta$-Carotene and lycopene concentration of the fruits lowed in treatment with the higher of removal level, total chlorophyll contents had the opposite tendency to the pigments. All results considered, removal level of leaves around fruit on bearing branch in fruit maturation stage had effect on fruit coloring improvement.

본 연구는 단감 '부유' 품종을 대상으로 과실 비대 및 착색에 대한 성숙기에 결과지의 잎 제거 정도의 영향을 구명하기 위해 수행하였다. 잎 제거 정도에 따라 과실 주변의 조도는 자연광의 70.1klux에 대하여 무처리구에서는 7.9%, 20% 처리구에서는 13.6%, 50% 처리구에서는 16.4%, 그리고 100% 처리구에서는 30.0% 수준이었다. 과피색 a값은 무처리구 및 20% 처리구에서 수확직전까지 일정 수준으로 꾸준히 증가하였고, Chroma 값은 모든 처리구에서 증가하다가 처리 7주 이후 떨어지는 경향을 나타내었다. 수확된 과실의 무게와 직경은 100% 처리구에서 유의하게 가볍고 짧았다. 과형지수는 무처리구와 다른 처리구들 간 유의한 차이를 나타내었다. 과실 당도는 무처리구보다 다른 처리구들에서 낮은 경향으로 50% 처리구에서 유의하게 낮았다. 과피색 a값은 무처리구 및 20% 처리구에서 높았고, 과피색 b값과 Chroma 값은 20% 처리구에서 유의하게 낮았다. 과피 내 베타 카로틴 및 라이코펜 함량은 잎의 제거 비율이 높은 처리구일수록 낮은 경향이었고, 총 엽록소 함량은 이와 반대의 경향을 나타내었다. 따라서 과실 성숙기에 과실 주변 잎을 제거하는 처리는 과실 착색 증진에 다소 효과가 있는 것으로 생각된다.
