Abstract

This study was conducted to develop the most effective method in promoting onion set in cultivars 'Josaengsseondebol' and 'Daeji' for all year-round production. This was done by extending the day length for 41 days. For both cultivars, the period to reach the maximum number of leaves developed was shortened as the exposure to day length increased. Between the two cultivars, 'Josaengsseondebol' reaches its maximum leaf formation for a shorter duration compared with 'Daeji'. In effect to bulb size, cultivar 'Josaengsseondebol' having a night break of 1, 2, and 16 hours light condition had better bulb enlargement compared with the non-treated bulbs. In the case of cultivar 'Daeji', only bulbs exposed to a night break of 2 and 16 hours light condition had better bulb enlargement. The percentage of marketable set yield in cultivar 'Josaengsseondebol' having a night break of 1 hr, 2 hrs, 16 hrs light condition, and control or untreated bulbs were 84%, 92%, 90%, and 6% respectively. In the case of cultivar 'Daeji', treated with a night break of 1 hr, 2 hrs, 16 hrs light condition, and untreated bulbs had a percentage marketable set yield of 7%, 55%, 64%, and 0% respectively. Based on these results, it is therefore concluded that night break treatment is considered to be effective method in promoting off-season onion set cultivation in cultivar 'Josaengsseondebol'.

본 연구는 양파자구의 주년생산 및 공급을 위하여 '조생썬더볼'과 '대지'를 이용하여 단일조건하에서 41일 동안 일장처리에 의한 자구의 생산성을 검토한 결과는 다음과 같다. 일장처리에 따른 엽수는 일장이 길어질수록 최대엽수에 도달하는 기간이 짧았으며, 품종별 최대엽수에 도달하는 기간은 조생종인 '조생썬더볼'이 중만생종인 '대지'에 비해 짧았다. 초장은 두 품종 모두 일장처리와 관계없이 계속 증가하였다. 구 비대의 진행정도는 '조생썬더볼'은 자연일장에 비해 모든 일장처리에서 현저히 촉진되었으나 '대지'는 광 중단 2시간 처리 및 16시간일장 연장처리에서만 촉진되었다. 구중과 구형을 종합한 상품구율은 자연일장, 광 중단 1시간, 광 중단 2시간 및 16시간 일장 연장처리에서 '조생썬더볼'은 각각 6%, 84%, 92% 및 90%였으며, '대지'는 각각 0%, 7%, 55% 및 64%였다. 따라서 단일조건하에서 단기간에 일장처리를 하여 절임용 자구를 생산하고자 하면 품종은 구 비대 한계일장이 짧은 조생종 품종, 일장처리는 일장의 연장에 비해 광중단 처리를 이용하는 것이 효율적인 것으로 판단된다.
