Abstract

This paper utilized electromagnetic field energy as an external stimulus to enhance the germination rate of acacia(Robinia pseudoacacia) seeds. Electromagnetic field energy comprises three types: static magnetic field(SMF) energy, static electric field(SEF) energy, and microwave(MW) energy. When SMF energy was applied to seeds through a dry method for 90 minutes, the germination rate increased by more than 10% compared to the control group. Similarly, SEF energy applied through a dry method for 90 minutes resulted in an improvement of over 20% in the germination rate. Furthermore, when MW energy at 2.45 GHz was applied to the seeds through a wet method for 3 minutes, the germination rate increased by over 25%. Experimental results showed that seeds treated with MW energy exhibited the highest germination rate and the greatest sprout growth. Consequently, this paper confirms that treating seeds with MW energy through a wet method yields the most superior germination rate and seedling growth.

본 논문에서는 아까시 종자의 발아율 향상을 위하여 종자의 외부적 자극으로 전자기장 에너지를 이용하였다. 전자기장 에너지는 모두 세 종류로 정자기장, 정전기장, 그리고 전자기장인 마이크로파가 있다. 정자기장 에너지를 건식방법으로 90분간 투과시킨 종자의 발아율은 대조군과 비교하여 10%이상 향상되었고, 정전기장 에너지 역시 건식방법으로 90분간 투과시킨 종자의 발아율은 20%이상 향상되었다. 또 전자기장 에너지로 2.45 GHz를 갖는 마이크로파 에너지를 습식방법으로 3분간 투과시킨 종자의 발아율은 25%이상 향상되었다. 실험결과 마이크로파를 투과시킨 종자에서 발아율이 가장 높고 그리고 새싹길이도 가장 크게 성장하였다. 결과적으로 본 논문에서는 마이크로파 에너지를 습식방법으로 종자에 투과시킴으로 종자의 발아율과 새싹 성장이 가장 우수하다는 것을 확인할 수 있다.
