Effects of Soil Reaction (pH) of Culture Soil on the Growth of Saxifraga stolonifera in Pot Cultivation

This experiment was carried out to find out proper soil acidity (pH) that can enhanced ornamental worth and marketability on flowerpot cultivation of Saxifraga stolonifera. It was treated 3 replications of randomized complete block design to pH 4.5, 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0. Soil was used peatmoss and young plant of Saxifraga stolonifera planted at 10cm pot of diameter. It was investigated to growth characteristics at intervals of twenty days after planting. On the growth characteristics at different soil acdity (pH) of Saxifraga stolonifera, It was many growth increment of plant width, plant height, leaf length and leaf width on pH 4.5, but was remarkably reduced growth increment on a higher soil acidity (pH). Therefore, Saxifraga stolonifera was showed the best growth when planted at soil of $pH4.5{\sim}5.0$.

토양반응(pH)이 분화재배 바위취의 생육에 미치는 영향

바위취의 토양산도별 생육특성을 보면 초장, 엽수, 엽장, 엽폭 그리고 초폭에 있어서 모두 pH 4.5에서 생육량이 많았으며 pH가 높을수록 생육량이 현저하게 떨어지는 경향으로 통계적인 유의성이 인정되었다. 따라서 바위취 분화생산시 경량 배양토의 토양산도를 $pH4.5{\sim}5.0$ 정도로 맞추어 주는 것이 pH 6.0보다 초기 활착이 빠르고 생육이 양호하며 균일성이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다.
