Abstract

The effective method for heating root-zone during winter season was studied in the aspects of growth, yield and economics for tomato ($Solanum$ $lycopersicum$) in perlite bag culture. There were four root-zone heating treatments: two hours heating from one hour before to one hour after sunrise, four hours from two hours before to two hours after sunrise, 15 hours after sunset, and no heating. The growth characteristics of the upper parts of plants were not significantly different among the treatments, but root volume increased with longer heating of the root zone. The Plant Development Index, using stem diameter and the length between growing tip and the upper flowering truss, showed relation between yield per cluster and growth pattern. The treatment heating for four hours was the most economic in terms of growth and yield of tomato.

저온기 토마토 펄라이트 자루재배에서 근권의 가온이 작물의 생육과 수확량, 경제성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고, 효과적인 저온기 근권온도 조절방법을 구명하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 저온기 동안에 근권의 가온시각과 가온기간 처리를 각각 저온기 일출시간(7시 30분)을 기준으로 일출 전후 1시간씩 2시간 가온처리, 일출 전후 2시간씩 4시간씩 4시간 가온처리, 일몰 후부터 15시간 가온처리 및 무가온 처리를 두어 실험하였다. 근권온도 처리 간에는 무가온 처리(NON)에서 근권온도가 실험기간 동안 주간과 야간 모두 가장 낮았고, 야간의 온도 하강이 주간의 온도에까지 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. 일출 전후 2시간씩 4시간 가온처리에서 근권온도가 일출 전후 1시간씩 2시간 가온처리보다 1시간 먼저 상승하고, 하강도 늦었으며 전체 실험기간 동안의 평균 온도도 약간 높게 유지되었다. 처리구 중에서 가장 가온시간이 길었던 일몰 후부터 15시간 가온처리에서는 전 실험기간동안 $19-23^{\circ}C$ 정도에서 가장 높은 근권온도로 유지되었다. 지상부 생육조사에서는 처리간 차이가 미미하여 통계적 유의성이 없었으나, 뿌리생육은 근권온도가 높게 지속될수록 뿌리 량이 많았고, 뿌리의 분포는 전실험구에서 균일하였다. 식물생육지표에 의해 실험기간 동안 작물의 화방별 수확과 생장양상의 변화 사이에 상관관계가 있음을 알수 있었다. 일몰 후부터 15시간 가온처리와 일출 전후 2시간씩 4시간 가온처리가 동일하게 토마토의 생육 및 수확량에서 가장 좋았기 때문에 가온을 위한 비용을 고려한다면 일출 전후 2시간씩 4시간 가온처리가 가장 좋을 것으로 사료된다.
