Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the fog-cooling system on the growth and yield characteristics of two large-fruited paprika cultivars during summer cultivation season. The temperature inside the greenhouse equipped with fog-cooling system was $2-3^{\circ}C$ lower than that in the control. The results of study show the possibilities of maintaining indoor temperatures below $35^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity at the level of 80% using fogcooling system during hot seasons of the year. Plant height, fruit weight and number of fruits per plant were higher for both cultivars in the fog-cooling treatment compared to those in control. Mean fruit weight and yield per unit area were higher in the fog-cooling treatment than those in the control. However there were no significant differences in sugar content, flesh thickness and locule number of fruits due to fog-cooling system. Number of fruits with epidermal cracking was decreased in the fog-cooling system for both paprika cultivars. Mineral contents of plants such as nitrogen (N), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), were not affected due to fog-cooling treatment.

여름철에 파프리카 코이어 배지경에서 'Cupra', 'Piesta' 2품종을 공시하여 시설 내 포그냉방 효과에 의한 파프리카 생육을 검토코자 하였다. 시설 내 포그 냉방처리를 통해 무처리보다 온실 내의 온도가 $2{\sim}3^{\circ}C$ 낮았으며 최고온도를 $35^{\circ}C$이하로, 그리고 실내습도도 80% 내외로 유지할 수가 있었다. 초장, 엽수 등 생육은 포그냉방 처리구가 무처리에 비해 양호하였다. 평균과중은 두 품종 모두 포그냉방 처리구에서 158~160g으로 무처리보다 무거웠고, 주당 착과수는 'Cupra', 'Piesta' 모두 포그냉방 처리구가 각각 18.4, 18.3개로 무처리에 비해 7~8개 많았다. 상품수량은 'Cupra', 'Piesta' 두 품종 모두 포그냉방 처리구가 각각 6,027, 5,890kg/10a으로 무처리에 비해 유의적으로 많았다. 과실의 당도는 처리간에 차이가 없었으며 'Cupra', 'Piesta' 두 품종 모두 $5{\sim}6^{\circ}Bx$ 였으며 과육의 두께는 포그냉방 처리 효과가 없었다. 과실의 열과 발생률은 포그냉방 처리구가 낮았으며 품종 간에는 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과에서 여름철 파프리카 수경재배시 포그냉방으로 시설내 온도의 강하와 습도조절이 가능하였으며 그에 따른 결과, 생육이 양호하며 과실의 품질 또한 좋아짐을 알 수 있었다.
