Abstract

The experiment was implemented to introduce the drainage electrode irrigation system as early as possible after transplanting in order to save the nutrient solution in a convenient way. Drainage electrode irrigation method was introduced 15, 19 or 22 days after transplanting after irrigation was firstly controlled by time clock. Time clock method was also treated as a control plot. Drainage electrode method could be adopted from 15 days after transplanting, 15 days earlier than the present introducing time. The growth and yield was better in treatments with drainage electrode method. Water and fertilizer use efficiency were the highest in the treatment of 15 days, the lowest in time clock treatment.

토마토 펄라이트 자루재배에서 기존에 알려진 배액 전극제어법 적용시기를 가능한 앞당기고, 배양액을 절감하기 위해 수행되었다. 실험처리는 정식후 15일차(T-15), 19일차(T-19), 22일차(T-22)에 배액전극제어법을 적용하는 3개 처리와 타이머법 1개 처리를 실시하였다. 기존의 정식후 1개월 이후에 배액전극제어법 적용하는 관행보다 2주 앞당긴 15일차 처리부터 작물이 배액전극제어법에 반응하는 것으로 나타났다. 생장 및 수확량은 배액전극법에서 높았다. 용수이용효율과 비료이용효율은 T-15 처리에서 가장 경제적이었고, 타이머법 처리는 경제성이 낮았다. 따라서 배액전극제어법 처리시기를 빨리 적용할수록 경제성이 높음을 알 수 있었다.
