An Aero-NFT nutriculture system using microcomputer for cultivation of greenhouse melon was developed and the performance of the system was evaluated through experiments. The system could control temperature, EC and pH of the nutrient solution within the error ranges of $\pm$ 0.2$^{\circ}C$, $\pm$ 0.2 mS/cm, $\pm$ 0.1 pH, respectively. The results of cultivation experiment showed that temperature, EC and pH of the nutrient solution were generally controlled within the setting ranges during cultivation period. The growth results were good until pinching, but the fruit quality of melons was not high except sweetness and shape. To optimize performance of the system, more techlical information for nutriculture of greenhouse melon was needed.

실시간 온라인 계측에 의한 순환식 양액조제 알고리즘을 위해서 이온센서를 사용하였다. 이온센서의 내구성이 약하고 배양액 내에는 이온센서의 정확한 계측의 방해요인인 이온성분들이 포함되어 있기 때문에 매번 정확한 측도 설정을 수행 해줌으로써 계측값의 신뢰도를 높일 수 있었고 이온센서를 이용한 온라인계측의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 배양액 속에 장시간 넣어둔 상태로 사용하였을 경우 4시간 이상 경과하면 센서에서 나오는 신호가 지속적으로 상승하는 경향을 보였다. 장시간 동안 배양액에 노출되었던 센서는 측도설정이 불가능한 수준으로 일정농도의 용액 내에서 일정한 값을 나타내지 못하고 계측값이 지속적으로 상승하던가 하강하여 한계값 까지 이르렀다. 이러한 이유로 연구용이 아닌 실제 장치에 적용하여 실용화하기 위해서는 내구성이 강하고 계측하고자 하는 이온에 대해 영향을 주는 방해이온 속에서도 정확도를 유지 할 수 있는 센서의 개발이 선행되어야 한다. 또한 정확한 퇴액 성분의 측정을 위해서는 측도 설정이 선행되어야 하는데 계측이 필요할 때마다 측도 설정을 자동으로 해줄 수 있는 자동 측도 설정 모듈의 개발도 수행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

순환식 양액재배에서 근권부 배지의 종류가 작물의 양분흡수에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 하였다. 배지별 양액흡수량은 토마토 및 오이 모두 같은 경향이었는데, 단위일사량당 양액흡수량을 보면 오이는 생육 전반기인 6월 5일까지 지속적으로 양액흡수가 이루어지다가 일사량에 따라 전체 양액의 흡수가 변화하였다. 그러나 단위일사량당 양액흡수량은 생육 후반기에 일정한 수준을 유지하였는데 이것은 노화된 하엽을 제거하였기 때문으로 보인다(Fig 1). 배지에 따른 양액흡수량은 전체적으로 암면에서 생육 후기까지 다소 높은 경향을 보였으나 통계적으로 유의성은 인정되지 않았다. 또한 배지간의 무기이온 흡수율은 이온별로 차이가 있었으나 모든 이온에서 유의성은 인정되지 않았다. 배지에 따른 무기이온 흡수량은 전체적으로 암면에서 생육 후기까지 다소 높은 경향을 보였으나 통계적으로 유의성은 인정되지 않았다(Fig. 2). 작물의 생육 및 수량에서도 암면에서 전반적으로 높은 경향을 보였으나 통계적으로 유의성을 보이지는 않았으나 오이의 엽중은 암면에서 무거웠고 엽건물중도 차이가 있었다. 기타 생육 요소간에는 유의성이 인정되지 않았지만 암면에서 다소 좋은 경향을 보였다(Table 1). 따라서 작물의 무기이온 흡수량을 추정하는 모델식의 입력요소로 배지 종류는 적합하지 않았으며 다만 수분 보유력이 좋은 암면에서 양액 흡수량이 많았다는 결과를 얻었다.

This study was conducted to identify the effect of recycling method of drained solution on the concentration of drained solution, and growth and yield of tomato in the recycling system. The recycling methods of drained solution were composed of control, MEC (measurement of EC) and ANS (analysis of nutrient solution). The plant height in the early growth stage was not different among the treatments, but plant fresh weight and dry weight were higher in the MEC or the ANS than in the control. The growth including fruit number, fruit weight, and yield of tomato in the ANS as compared with the control was favorable. The EC of drained solution tended to decrease in the early growth stage, but that of drained solution increased in the late growth stage. It was low in the MEC and the ANS as compared with the control. The pH of drained solution was maintained by 6.2 to 6.5 throughout the growth period in the MEC and the ANS, but the pH of the control increased up to 7.2 at the late growth stage. The N and K concentrations of drained solution tended to decrease in the early growth stage, while those of P, Ca and Mg increased. In the late growth stage, concentrations of N, P, Ca and Mg tended to decrease, but that of K in the ANS was very low. Concentrations of N, P, K, Ca and Mg were lower in the MEC and the ANS than in the control.

The root-zone environment is an important factor to the plant growth and it is closely related to the thermal characteristics of the root media. In this study thermal characteristics of root media with ambient environmental conditions were analyzed. The temperatures of nutrient solution as well as inside air of culture bed were measured in Nutrient Film Technique(NFT) and Deep Flow Technique(DFT) systems, and also the temperatures of root media measured in aggregate culture systems , The temperature of nutrient solution of NFT system with as low as 3$\ell$/min of flow rate was 3$^{\circ}C$ higher than that with 5 $\ell$/min of flow rate in the daytime, and the temperature of inside air was 2$^{\circ}C$ higher at night. And the temperature of nutrient solution of DFT system with as low as 0.8 cm of water level was 1-2$^{\circ}C$ higher than that with 1 8 cm in the daytime, and the temperature of inside air was almost same at night. The root-zone temperatures in the perlite and rockwool granulate systems with film mulching were 3$^{\circ}C$ higher than those without film mulching in the daytime. However, the rockwool slab system with film mulching showed the same trend as rockwool granulate system, but relatively higher temperature than any other medium because of the exposure of media surface to the ambient air. Additionally the temperature below the plant was measured 3$^{\circ}C$ lower than that between plants.

무토양재배시스템은 가급적 경량화이면서 집약적인 형태를 가지며, 환경보존차원을 위하여 밀폐형 순환식 재배시스템이 중시되고 있다. 무토양재배시스템은 DFT에서 NFT나 고형배지로 갈수록 외기의 환경변화에 대하여 비교적 근권부근의 환경변화가 크기 때문에 노출되어 있는 뿌리에 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료된다. (중략)

This study was conducted to investigate effects of nutrient solution pH control agent and foliar spray of ethephon on the reduction of stem inside-cavity and improvement of flower quality in chrysanthemum 'Baekma'. Changes of pH in nutrient solution as affected by the kind of pH control agent showed more settled pattern in the plot of KOH treatment than in others. Plant growth and development such as cut flower length, leaf numbers, cut flower weight and petal number were the greatest in the plot of KOH. However, the size and area of stem cavity was large in KOH rather than $KHCO_3$. As changes in the absorbing patterns of mineral elements as affected by nutrient solution pH control agent in closed system, contents of total nitrate, phosphorus, potassium and calcium by $KHCO_3$ was absorbed into the plant less than KOH, so that it remained a lot of mineral element residues rather than KOH in closed system. Plant growth as affected by the foliar spray of ethephon showed growth retardation effect in the plot of solution diluted to 1 : 500 and growth promotion effect in the plot of solution diluted to 1 : 1,000 or 1 : 2,000. The number of petals was the best in the plot of foliar spray of ethephon solution diluted to 1 : 1,000 before flowering at 45 days showing 331 petals compared to control showing 302 petals. The size and area of stem cavity as affected the foliar spray of ethephon was smaller 1 mm and 7%, respectively, in the plot of solution diluted to 1 : 2,000 before flowering at 30 days than in control. Therefore, treating pH stabilization using KOH after floral initiation stage with the foliar spray of ethephon solution diluted to 1 : 2,000 before flowering at 30 days would help to reduce stem cavity size and improve flower quality in hydroponically grown chrysanthemum 'Baekma'.

The compost leachate was dark-colored solution that leaches out of the bottom of the compost pile. The compost leachate was rich in nutrients and can potentially used in plant culture. In the organic production, commercial liquid fertilizer was used to insure the availability of nutrients during the formation of the yield. The cost of supplemental liquid fertilizer could be reduced by developing a fertilizer based on animal fertilizer. This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of different combination of compost leachate and conventional inorganic solution in hydroponic culture for lettuce growth. Six different treatments were applied. The compost leachate(CL) and nutrient solution(NS) were mixed by six different mixing ratios of 0:100, 20:80, 40:60, 60:40%, 80:20 and 100%:0% based on nitrogen content. The chemical nutrient solution was the solution of National Horticulture Research Station for the growth of leaf lettuce. The concentration of nutrient solution was adjusted 1.5 mS/cm in EC. The compost leachate was low in phosphorus(P), calcium(Ca), magnesium(Mg), but rich in potassium(K). The plant height of lettuce treated with CL 20+NS 80% was similar with 100% NS of control plot. Plant height was highest in the plot of CL 20+NS 80%. The treatment of 100% compost leachate was lowest in the growth characteristics of leaf lettuce. Number of leaf was very low in 100% compost leachate compared with plot of chemical nutrient solution. In the beginning of growth stage, SPAD value was reduced in plot treated with CL100%, but CL20+NS80% plot was higher compared to 100% compost leachate. SPAD value of leaf lettuce leaves was decreased as the amount of CL was increased. The dry weight of lettuce were 107.4, 104.2g in plot of NS 100% and CL 20%+NS80%, respectively. The leaf number and plant weight were decreased at high application plots of compost leachate. The leaf lettuce showed lowest in the plot treated with 100% compost leachate, and the growth of lettuce severely decreased after application of 100% CL treatment. The results showed that compost leachate can be use as liquid fertilizer for the organic hydroponic production. The mixture solution of 20% of compost leachate and 80% of nutrient solution could be used as a nutrition solution in hydroponic culture of leaf lettuce. Our studies have shown that is possible to produce using compost leachate, although growth is slower than when using a conventional inorganic hydroponic solution.

우리 나라의 딸기 수경재배 면적은 2002년 5ha로 시작해서, 2007년에는 84ha, 2012년에는 317ha, 2017년에 1,575ha로 매년 30% 이상 급속하게 성장하고 있다. 이런 경향은 수경재배가 토양재배보다 작업이 용이하여 노동시간이 절약되며, 수량을 더 많이 생산할 수 있기 때문이다. 하지만, 공급양액을 배액으로 흘려버리는 비순환식 수경재배 방식이 증가 하면서 환경오염을 유발시킬 뿐만 아니라 수경재배 운영비용의 증가를 가져오고 있다. 본 논문은 작물 생장에 최적화된 양액공급을 위해 상관관계 분석 및 다중 선형 회귀 모델 기반의 딸기 수경재배 환경에서의 최적 양액 흡수량을 분석하고 추정해 보았다. 분석 결과, 수경재배 환경정보(일사량, 온도, 습도, CO₂ 등)를 대상으로 일사량 및 온도가 습도 및 CO₂에 비해 딸기재배를 위한 양액 흡수량에 더 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 분석되었고, 다중 선형 회귀 모델을 통한 회귀식의 R-Square값은 0.358으로 나타났다.

This experiment was conducted to find out the compositions of nutrient solution for closed system in substrate culture of cucumber. Cucumber(Cucumis sativus L. cv. Eunsung baekdadagi) plants were grown in the substrates supplied with the nutrient solutions whose strengths were 1/2, 1, and 3/2 of the original concentration developed by National Horticultural Research Station in Japan. By increasing the nutrient concentrations, plant height decreased but leaf length, leaf width, and leaf number showed little differences. A number of marketable fruit and marketable yield were the highest in the concentration of 1 strength. The nutrient compositions of solution developed for closed system in cucumber substrate culture were N 11.4, P 3.3, K 6.0, Ca 4.5, and Mg 3.5 me.$\ell$$^{-1}$ during the vegetative growth period and N 10.4, P 3.3, K 5.0, Ca 4.5, and Mg 3,5 me.$\ell$$^{-1}$ during the reproductive growth period. To examine the suitability of nutrient solution developed in the above experiment, cucumber plants were grown in the substrates supplied with different solutions and concentrations - Yamasaki's nutrient solution(Yamasaki) of 1 S, nutrient solution of Research Station for Greenhouse Vegetable and Floriculture on the Netherlands(PTG) of 1 S, nutrient solution developed in the above experiment(SCU) of 1/2, 1, and 3/2 S. EC and pH in root zone changed little in the all treatments during growing period. As cucumber plants grew, the concentrations of N, P, and K in root zone decreased but Ca concentration increased. Net $CO_2$ assimilation rate of cucumber leaves was high in SCU of 1 and 3/2 S, and Yamasaki of 1 S. Growth of cucumber plants was the lowest in SCU of 1/2 S.
