Research on Iron-coated Seeds on a Rice Seedling Raising Nursery in Machine Transplanting

벼 건묘육성을 위한 볍씨 철분코팅기술 연구

The machine transplanted rice has highly extended in the Republic of Korea due to a wage rise since 1976 and thus rice seedling raising nursery method has shifted from field into polyethylene film house. The rice seedling grown under a polyethylene film house was weak and tall because of limited sunlight and wind and so there was so complained among rice growing farmers in terms of missing hill and broken seedling after machine transplanting. In recent iron-coated seedling has reported on healthier and stronger than that of polyethylene film house. These seedlings were more stiff and thus more easy to handle during transplanting and less missing hills. The Iron-coated seed was proven to more stiff like seedling height, root growth and weight of shoot and root growth. This was more convenient during transfer of seedling raising box im machine transplanting. Thus, this study was carried out to grow a stiff and healthy seedling growth and development for machine transplanting. There were a normal seed germination and sprouting after iron-coated seeds treatment and this seedling was smaller and stiffer than that of untreated control. The leaf number and root growth of seedling which was iron-coated seeds would be better and total seedling fresh weight was greater than that of untreated control.

최근 우리나라에서는 육묘에서 이앙작업 단축을 위하여 본답육묘(못자리)에서 하우스 육묘(육묘공장) 시스템을 전국적으로 채택하고 있으나 이앙당시 유묘의 연약한 생장으로 모내기 약 2주전 별도로 본답 또는 외기로 육묘상자를 옮겨 경화를 시키는 번거로운 문제점에 있다. 따라서 본 시험에서는 철분코팅볍씨를 이용할 경우 다음과 같은 결과를 얻어 육묘공장(못자리)에서도 본 연구결과를 활용할 경우 유용할 것으로 사료되어진다. 1. 철분코팅을 한 볍씨는 무처리에 비하여 발아, 출아, 유묘생장에 극히 정상적이었다. 2. 이앙당시 유묘의 초장 생장은 무처리에 비하여 작아 육묘상자 운반과정, 이앙작업 시 손상이 줄어 들 것으로 보였다. 3. 유묘의 엽수 뿌리 생육이 무처리에 비하여 양호하여 초기 유묘생장에 유리할 것으로 보였다. 4. 철분코팅을 한 유묘의 지상부, 지하부 생장이 무처리에 비하여 양호하여 건묘육성에 유리한 것으로 나타났다.
