Abstract

Effect of concentrations of different plant growth retardants (PGRs) supplied to a recirculated nutrient solution in an ebb and flow system on the growth and development of potted Spathiphyllum 'Top-Pin' and 'Mini' was examined. Plants were planted in 10 cm diameter plastic pots filled with a mixture of peat moss and perlite (1 : 1, v/v) on 30 June 2005 and grown until 23 Sep. 2005. In a closed ebb and flow system, 50, 200, 350, $500mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ daminozide (B-9), 10, 40, 70, $100mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ paclobutrazol (Boundy), 5, 15, 25, $35mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ ethephon (Florel), and 1, 4, 7, $10mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ uniconazole (Sumagic) were supplemented to a nutrient solution at the initiation of experiment. On every irrigation, the nutrient solution containing PGRs was supplied at a 2 cm depth and kept for 15-20 minutes. The surplus nutrient solution was drained back into the tank for next irrigations. Paclobutrazol gave the most pronounced effect in inhibition of stretchiness. The greatest reduction of leaf length, fresh and dry weights of shoot, and elevated chlorophyll content were recorded in Spathiphyllum, with increasing paclobutrazol concentration. Daminozide concentration greater than $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ resulted in minor stunting. The lowest concentration ($1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$) of uniconazole showed greater leaf length, leaf width, and leaf petiole length than the control ($0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$). Uniconazole concentration greater than $1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ resulted in similar plant growth as the plant in the control ($0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$). High concentration ($35mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$) of ethephon resulted in the shortest leaf length, and the greatest chlorophyll content. Inhibition of stretchiness was observed even in the lowest concentration treatments. Among the PGRs, paclobutrazol was most effective in suppressing plant stretchiness. In both cultivars, ethephon and paclobutrazol, but not daminozide and uniconazole, significantly inhibited stretchiness. The results suggested that plant growth retardants (ethephon or paclobutrazol) selected in this study may be used as the most effective agents for inhibition of stretchiness in Spathiphyllum.

스파티필럼(Spathiphyllum) 'Top-Pin'과 'Mini' 두 품종에 생장억제제를 순환식 저면관수 시스템의 양액에 용해시켜 처리할 경우 생장억제제의 종류와 농도에 따른 생장 특성을 비교하였다. 스파티필럼을 피트모스와 펄라이트를 1 : 1(v/v)로 혼합한 배양토를 사용히여 직경 10 cm 플라스틱분에 2005년 6월 30일 정식하였다. 정식 후 2005년 9월 23일까지 순환식 저면관수 시스템 베드에서 재배하였다. Daminozide(B-9) 50, 200, 350, $500mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, paclobutrazol(Boundy) 10, 40, 70, $100mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, ethephon(Florel) 5, 15, 25, $35mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, 그리고 uniconazole(Sumagic) 1, 4, 7, $10mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$을 양액에 혼합하여 매 관수시마다 양액탱크에서 펌프로 베드 위 화분의 밑바닥에서 2cm 높이까지 담수하여 15-20분간 공급하였다. 관수 후 잉여양액은 다시 탱크로 회수하여 다음 관수시 재사용하였다. 두 품종 모두에서 paclobutrazol 처리시 생장억제효과가 가장 뚜렷하게 나타났다. Paclobutrazol 처리에서 농도의 증가와 함께 엽장과 지상부의 생체중과 건물중이 감소하였고 엽록소 함량은 증가하였다. $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 이상의 daminozide 처리에서는 왜화효과가 약하게 나타났다. Ethephon 처리는 $35mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$에서 엽장이 가장 작았고, 엽록소 함량은 최대였다. Uniconazole의 경우 엽장, 엽폭, 그리고 엽병장은 $1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 처리에서 대조구에 비해 생장촉진 효과가 나타났으며 4, 7, $10mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 처리는 대조구와 유사한 생장을 보였다. 생장억제제의 저농도에서 효과가 나타나는 것을 볼 수 있었으며 그 중에서도 paclobutrazol의 왜화 효과가 가장 현저하였다. 'Top-Pin'과 'Mini' 품종 모두 ethephon과 paclobutrazol 처리는 생장 억제 효과를 보였고 daminozide와 uniconazole 처리에서는 뚜렷한 생장 억제 효과가 없었다. 따라서 스파티필럼의 생육 억제를 위해서는 본 연구를 통해 선발된 약제를 이용하는 것이 효과적이라고 판단된다.
