Abstract

The effect of two-fluid fogging system on the control of Bemisia tabaci in tomato cultivation was evaluated in a greenhouse. The number of Bemisia tabaci was decreased by 87% from the fog treatment for 7 days. During the fog treatment, the mean daily temperature was decreased by $2^{\circ}C$ and the mean daily relative humidity was increased by 3~4% as compared to the non-treatment. The reduction of Bemisia tabaci in the treatment might not be resulted from the differences in temperature and humidity in the greenhouse. The sound coming from the two-fluid fogging system did not affect when it was operated without water inside. Therefore it was concluded that water droplets coming out the nozzle reduced the growth and the movement of whiteflies because the suspension of tiny water droplets were attached on the skin of whiteflies.

토마토 시설재배에서 고온기에 온습도를 조절할 목적으로 사용되는 이류체 포그시스템을 이용한 온습도 조절이 가루이 방제에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 연구를 수행하였다. 분무를 시작한 지 일주일 이내에 가루이의 개체수가 무처리구에 비해 약 87% 감소하였다. 온실의 일일평균기온은 이류체 포그시스템을 설치한 분무구에 서 $2^{\circ}C$ 정도 낮았다. 일일평균습도는 분무구에서 약 3~4% 높았다. 단, 온도나 습도의 차이로 분무구에서의 효과를 설명하기에는 어려움이 있었다. 저압분무 노즐에서 발생한 음향의 효과를 검증하기 위해 물을 제외하고 공기만 분사한 결과, 가루이의 생육에는 아무 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 분무구의 효과는 노즐에서 뿜어져 나오는 미세수분입자가 가루이와 접촉하여 가루이의 생육을 억제한 것으로 판단된다.
