Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of sea salt on the growth and moisture content of sweet basil, soil moisture content, and salt stress. As a research method, sweet basil was treated with sea salt at 0, 5, 50, 100, and 200 mM concentration of sea salt was investigated to determine the growth and stress time of sweet basil. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the leaf width increased by 11% when treated with 5 mM, 49% when treated with 50 mM, and 44% when treated with 100 mM. Leaf length was confirmed to grow by 16% at 5 mM, 59% at 50 mM, and 82% at 100 mM treatment. As a future study, based on the effect of sea salt on the leaf and length growth of sweet basil by concentration, it was considered that more research is needed on the beneficial effects of sea salt on edible, medicinal, and aromatic plants. In addition, although salt has only been studied on stress in crops, we intend to contribute to providing basic data for research on ingredients more beneficial to the environment by finding various edible, medicinal, and aromatic plants using the sun-dried salt used in this study.

염도와 관개용수는 작물에 있어서 물의 증발과 토양에 축적됨으로서 다양한 영향을 준다. 이러한 환경에 작물들은 영향을 받기에 본 연구에서는 천일염이 스위트 바질의 생장과 수분도, 토양의 수분도 및 염 스트레스에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 한다. 연구 방법으로 스위트 바질에 천일염을 0, 5, 50, 100, 및 200 mM 농도별로 처리하여 천일염의 농도가 스위트 바질의 성장과 염 스트레스 시간을 알아보았다. 본 연구 결과로 잎의 면적의 경우, 5 mM 처리에서 11%, 50 mM 처리에서 49%, 및 100 mM 처리에서 44% 증가한 것을 확인하였다. 잎의 길이는 5 mM 처리에서 16%, 50 mM 처리에서 59%, 및 100 mM 처리에서 82% 성장한 것으로 확인하였다. 향후 연구로 천일염이 스위트 바질의 잎과 길이 성장에 농도별 영향을 미치는 내용을 기초로 식용, 약용, 그리고 방향성 식물의 천일염 영향에 대해 더 연구가 필요하리라 사료된다. 염은 작물에 있어서 스트레스에 관한 연구만 있었지만, 본 연구에서 사용한 천일염을 활용하여 다양한 식용, 약용, 방향성 식물을 찾아 환경에 더 유익한 성분을 연구하는데 기초자료로 제공하는데 이바지 하고자 한다.
