Abstract

This research was conducted to establish efficient methods to control root-zone temperature of tomato plant when cultivated in perlite bag during the summer season. Tomato plants were grown with four selected treatments; covering irrigation pipe by aluminum insulation material (Insulate), discarding nutrient solution inside the irrigation line before each irrigation (Discard), skipping irrigation for two hours from 13:00 to 15:00 (Skip), or no treatment as a control (Non). Based on the analysis of plant development index, all plants with selected treatments grew more vigorous and vegetative in similar growth patterns. The discard treatment exhibited the best root-zone temperature control among the treatments. The discard treatment also resulted in the best root growth and above-ground growth, followed by skip, Insulate and Non. The total yields were obtained by the order of Insulate, Discard, Non and Skip. However the marketable yield was obtained by the order of Discard, Insulate, Skip and Non. The net incomes treated with Discard and Insulate were 9,687,600 and 9,396,000 Korean won per hectare, respectively, exhibiting higher incomes than that of Non. Therefore, it was concluded that insulation of the irrigation pipe and discarding nutrient solution inside the pipe before each irrigation were the most desirable and economical methods in terms of costs and yields.

고온기 토마토 펄라이트 자루재배에서 효과적인 근권온도 조절방법을 구명하고자 실험을 수행하였다. 실험처리로는 급액온도를 낮추기 위해 급액관을 단열재로 감싸주는 처리(Insulate), 매회 급액시 급액관에 있는 뜨거운 배양액을 빼고 급액하는 처리(Discard), 일중 가장 더운 오후 1시-3시에 급액을 중단하는 처리(Skip)와 무처리구(Non)를 두었다. 식물생육지표 조사에서는 실험구 모두 생장강도가 강해지고 생장균형이 영양생장으로 움직였으나, 처리별로는 큰 차이가 없었다. 고온기 근권온도는 Discard처리에서 가장 효과적으로 조절되었고, 지하부 생육은 Discard처리, Skip처리, Insulate처리 및 무처리구(Non) 순으로 좋았고, 지상부의 생육은 Discard처리에서 가장 우수하였다. 총수확량은 Insulate처리에서 가장 많았고, Discard처리, 무처리구(Non) 및 Skip처리 순으로 많았으나, 상품과량은 Discard처리와 Insulate처리에서 비슷하게 많았으며, Skip처리 및 무처리구(Non) 순으로 많았다. 순수익도 ha 기준으로 무처리구보다 Discard처리에서 9,687,600원, Insulate처리에서 9,396,000원 더 많았다. 따라서 설치작업이 간단하며 비용이 적게 드는 Insulate처리와 Discard처리를 함께 처리하는 것이 설치를 위한 노동력과 비용적인 면을 감안하여도 가장 경제적인 것으로 사료된다.
