Abstract

The research was aimed to improve pre-harvest methods to maintain marketability in postharvest leaf lettuce. In this study, the effect of hydroponics on the growth and post-harvest storage characteristics of 'Chongchima' lettuce grown in peat mass medium hydroponic system using a non-powered culture device or deep water culture (DWC) was evaluated. There was no difference in fresh weight, leaf number, SPAD, moisture content, and C/N ratio between peat moss growing medium hydroponic and DWC methods except plant height. It was found that lettuce cultivation by a nonpowered hydroponics method is easier than the existing DWC. The quality parameters, such as fresh weight loss, SPAD value, and general appearance of lettuce were investigated after harvest. There was no significant difference in fresh weight loss and general appearance during storage of lettuce by the hydroponics methods. However, with the increased storage time of SPAD, which is related to chlorophyll content, was slightly higher in peat moss medium hydroponic was than DWC. When crops such as lettuce are grown under favorable conditions without any agronomic abnormalities, it is suggested that post-harvest storage is not significantly affected by peat moss growing medium hydroponic and DWC.

상추의 양액재배 별 생육과 수확 후 저장 특성에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. '청치마' 상추를 이용하여, 무동력 수경재배 장치를 이용한 피트모스 배지경과 순수 담액 수경 재배의 생육을 비교하였고, 수확 후 상추의 생체중량변화, SPAD, 외관 등의 저장 특성을 검토하였다. 상추는 무동력수경재배의 배지경과 담액수경 재배 방법 간에 생육 후의 초장을 제외한 생체중, 엽수, SPAD, 수분함량, C/N율에서 차이가 없었다. 상추 재배 시 무동력 수경재배 방식을 통한 양액재배는 기존의 담액수경재배와 비교하여 생육에 무리가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 양액재배 방법에 따른 상추를 수확 후 저장 중 생체중량 감소나 외관 지수가 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 다만 엽록소 함량과 관계 있는 SPAD에서 저장기간이 지속됨에 따라 배지경 재배가 다소 높은 것으로 나타났다. 상추와 같은 작물이 재배적 이상이 없는 호조건에서 재배되는 경우, 수확 전 재배 방법에 따라서 수확 후 저장에 크게 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 판단된다.
