Abstract

This study was conducted to develop an optimal pruning method for okra production. Three pruning methods were tested including apical bud removing, one-third removing from the top of plant, and no pruning as a control with 3 kinds interval for 15 days after 2 months sowing. The growth and development of okra was better at the treatment of one-third removing of plant than the others. The number of branches was 0.7 in control, 3.7~4.0 in apical bud removing, and 3.0~6.0 in one-third removing treatment. In summary, one-third pruning of plant from the top of plant at 30 days after starting of pruning treatment, which showed the highest yield by 12,910 kg/10a.

본 연구는 오크라의 적심기술을 확립하기 위해서 수행되었다. 오크라의 적정 적심시기 및 적심방법을 구명하기 위해 실험을 수행한 결과, 생육상황을 살펴보면 무처리구, 생장점을 제거하는 처리구 및 전체 식물체중 위로부터 식물체의 1/3을 제거하는 처리구를 비교해볼 때 식물체의 1/3을 제거하는 처리구가 l차, 2차 및 3차 처리시기에 관계없이 무처리구나 생장점 제거 처리구에 비해 생육이 좋았다. 측지수의 발생을 조사한 결과, 측지 수는 무처리구가 0.7개 였고, 생장점을 제거하는 처리구는 3.7~4.0개였고, 식물체의 1/3을 제거하는 처리구는 3.0~6.0개였다. 측지수가 가장 많은 처리구는 식물체의 1/3을 제거하는 처리구로 측지 수가 6.0개로 가장 많았다. 결과적으로 오크라 수확량이 가장 많은 처리구는 파종 후 2달 후 적심 처리 개시 30일 후에 식물체 위로부터 1/3 적심한 처리구로 수확량은 12,910kg이었다.
