Development of Stable Culture Techniques for Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.)

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) was recognized as a potential source of forage. But the domestic cultivation techniques are not set standards yet. So we tested the basic culture techniques during 2012~2013 for getting a high yield and good grade forage production system. The best seeding method for mechanized planting (corn planter used) was hill seeding with $20{\times}20cm$ seeding distance. When we treated hill seeding with $20{\times}20cm$, the yield what we could get was 13,641 kg/10a and it was 32% more than that of conventional practice hill seeding with $20{\times}30cm$ seeding distance. The proper seeding date for getting high yield was May 1. In May 1, the yield per 10a was reached 13,423 kg, and it was 30% more than that of seeding at May 30. More over the crude protein content which was important factor for determinating forage nutritive value was 12.7% and it was higher 1.8% (relatively 16.5% high) than that of May 30 seeding. The most effective herbicide for kenaf was Fluazipof-p-butyl. It's herbicidal rate was 97% and phyto-toxicity was less than 5%. Regional adaptability for Jeollabuk-Do including Imsil Gun, Kochang Gun and Sunchang Gun were identified that the stable cultivation were possible in these area with average yield 12,400 kg/10a and it was about 1.7 times as compared to corn harvest.

케나프 생산성 향상을 위한 안정 재배기술 개발

양질의 사료작물 소재로서 국내 재배기술에 대한 재배기준이 설정되어 있지 않은 케나프를 2012~2013년 2년 동안 시험처리를 통하여 파종법을 구명한 결과 케나프의 파종방법은 기계화 파종(옥수수 파종기 사용)이 가능한 점파가 수량 증가에 적합하였는데 파종거리를 $20{\times}20cm$로 할 경우 관행 $20{\times}30cm$ 처리에 비해 수량이 32% 증가한 13,641 kg/10a가 가능하였다. 케나프의 최대수량 확보를 위한 적정 파종시기는 5월 1일 이었는데 5월 1일 파종의 경우 생체수량 13,423 kg/10a로 5월 30일 파종 대비 30%가 증수되었고 조단백질 함량도 12.7%로 5월 30일 대비 16.5% 증가하였다. 제초제는 Fluazipof-p-butyl 사용이 가장 효율적이었는데 제초율이 97% 이었고 약해는 5% 이하로 안정적이었다. 케나프의 전북지역 적응성을 임실, 고창, 순창 등 3개 지역에서 확인한 결과 모두 안정적으로 재배가 가능함이 확인되었는데 3개 지역 평균 수량이 12,400 kg/10a로 옥수수에 비해 약 1.7 배 정도 수확하는 것이 가능하였다.
