Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate on the freezing tolerance of introduced blueberry cultivars in Korea and to investigate availability of portable timber moisture meter for simple and rapid diagnosis of blueberry-shoot damage by freezing during wintering. Frost tolerance of blueberry cultivars showed big difference that rates of blueberry-shoot death were widely distributed from about 0% to 100% after wintering. Optical density in TTC reduction of blueberry twig treated low temperature was low in order of $-40^{\circ}C$ < $-21^{\circ}C$ < $4^{\circ}C$. Hardiness evaluation of visible injury in the cross-sectional surface color did not agree with that of rates of blueberry-shoot death during wintering. Lowest water content of blueberry stem measured by timber moisture tester during wintering was about 15%. During wintering, water contents of blueberry stems were higher at lower part of tree, but were low at end part of stems, and then when the blueberry grew again for spring, the water content gradually increased to 20~40%. Water content of blueberry stem with freezing injury during wintering decreased to under 5% by desiccation. Therefore it is assummed that the moisture content of blueberry stem injured by freezing during wintering was about under 14%, and it is expected that portable timber moisture meter could be available for rapid diagnosis of blueberry freezing injury in field.

외국에서 도입한 블루베리의 내한성을 평가하고, 목재수분계측기가 월동 중 블루베리 가지의 동해피해를 간편하고 신속하게 진단하는데 활용할 수 있는지를 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 월동 중 블루베리의 가지의 고사율은 0~100%로 다양하게 나타나 품종별 내한성의 차이가 컸다. 블루베리 가지의 저온처리에 따른 TTC 검정에서 품종별 OD값은 $-40^{\circ}C$ < $-21^{\circ}C$ < $4^{\circ}C$ 순으로 처리온도가 낮을수록 낮게 나타났다. 블루베리 가지의 저온처리에 따른 가지절단면의 색의 검정은 가지고 사율에 의한 내한성과 다른 결과와 차이가 있었다. 목재수분계측기에 의해 측정된 살아있는 블루베리 가지의 월동 중 최저 수분함량은 약 15%였으며, 월동 중 블루베리 가지의 위치별 수분함량은 나무 아랫부분일수록 높고 가지 끝으로 갈수록 낮았으나, 봄으로 접어들면서 가지 끝의 수분함량이 점점 높아져 20~40% 범위로 측정되었다. 월동 중 동해피해를 받은 가지는 점점 건조되어 수분함량이 5% 이하로 낮아졌다. 동해를 받은 블루베리 가지의 수분함량은 14% 수준 이하일 것으로 추정되며, 목재수분계측기가 블루베리 가지의 동해피해를 현장에서 신속하게 진단하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
