Abstract

Differences among cultivars, conditions of nutrient solution, nursing materials, and soilless culture systems were investigated to select suitable cultivar and cultivation methods for stable production of summer spinach in the highlands. The 'Quinto' spinach showed the earliest growth and highest yield. For yield increase of summer spinach, optimal solution pH was 6.0, EC was $2.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$, and $NH_4-N$ ratio of nutrient solution was 30 percent Stand rate of spinach in nursing seedlings, at 200-cell-tray filled with mixed nursing soil (peat : perlite = 7 : 3), was higher than those grown in urethane sponge and rock-wool plug. Yield was also 18 to 24 percent higher than those in rock-wool plug and urethane sponge. Plant length and yield of spinach in mixed substrate (peat : perlite = 7 : 3) filled nutrient film technique (MSNFT) system were longer of 18 percent, and higher of 9 percent than those in deep flow technique (DFT) system, respectively. However, changes of root zone temperature, pH and EC showed similar pattern with DFT. Therefore, growing 'Quinto' cultivar at 6.0 of pH, $2.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ of EC, 30 percent of $NH_4-N$ ratio, at 200-cell-tray filled with mixed nursing soil, and MSNFT cultivation system, was the best for production of summer spinach in the highlands.

고랭지 시금치의 여름철 수경재배에 적합한 품종과 육묘 배지의 선발, 적정 양액조건의 구명 및 시설비가 적게 들고 생산성이 높은 수경재배 방식의 개발을 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 고랭지에서 여름철 수경재배에 적합한 시금치 품종은 '퀸토'로 다른 품종에 비하여 생육이 좋고 수량도 많았다. 시금치의 생육에 적합한 양액의 조건은 pH 6.0, EC $2.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$$NH_4-N$의 비율은 30%이었다. 육묘용으로 피트모스와 펄라이트를 7:3의 용적비로 혼합한 상토를 200공 트레이에 채우고 시금치 종자를 파종하여 육묘한 경우 우레탄스펀지나 암면 플러그에서 육모한 것보다 입묘율이 높았다. 이렇게 육묘한 묘로 수경재배를 한 결과 혼합상토로 육묘한 경우의 수량은 암면 및 우레탄스펀지에 비하여 18% 및 24%가 증가하였다. 토양 위에 비닐을 깔아 만든 박막재배 베드에 lcm 두께로 혼합배지(피트 : 펄라이트 = 7 : 3)를 채운 후 스티로폼 정식판을 올려놓고 시금치를 재배할 경우 담액재배에 비하여 초장은 18% 길었고 수량은 9% 증가하였으며, 근권 온도 pH 및 EC는 담액재배와 비슷한 양상으로 변화하였다.
