Abstract

In recent years, the bagging cultivation of summer squash (Cucurbita moschata) is applied for surface protection during harvest and extension of storage period. In this study, the effect of plastic bagging cultivation of summer squash on improvement of quality and extension of storage period was investigated. The yield and the length of fruit didn't have no difference between bagging and control treatment but the bagging treatment significantly made more regular size and light weight of fruits, and increased the number of fruits because of the limitation of their growth. The bagging treatment decreased weight loss and fruit softening during the their storage. Therefore it showed effective means for quality improvement and storage extension of summer squash.

최근 애호박은 수확 중 표면 손상을 방지하고, 유통 기간을 연장하기 위해 PET(polyethylene terephthalte)와 PE(polyethylene)를 접합시켜 만든 플라스틱 봉지(두께 0.1mm)를 과실에 덮어씌우는 방법이 시도되고 있다. 본 연구는 플라스틱 봉지의 피복이 애호박의 품질 향상과 유통기간 연장에 미치는 효과를 구명하기 위해 수행하였다. 애호박의 플라스틱 봉지씌우기가 과실 수량과 과실 길이에는 크게 영향을 미치지 않았지만, 무처리에 비해 과실 무게가 가볍고 주당 과실수가 증가하였다. 이는 봉지씌우기를 함으로써 과실 비대가 제한되어 착과 수가 늘어났기 때문인 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 플라스틱 봉지씌우기는 애호박의 균일성을 높이고, 저장기간 중 과실의 감모율과 연화를 감소시켰다. 따라서 애호박의 품질을 향상시키고, 저장기간을 연장하는 수단으로 재배 중에 플라스틱 봉지씌우기가 효과적인 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
