Cooling of nutrient solution is essential to improve the growth environment of crops in hydroponic culture during summer season in Korea. This study was carried out to provide fundamental data for development of the cooling system satisfying the required cooling load of nutrient solution in hydroponic greenhouse. A numerical model for prediction of the cooling load of nutrient solution in hydroponic greenhouse was developed, and the results by the model showed good agreements with those by experiments. Main factors effecting on cooling load were solar radiation and air temperature in weather data, and conductivity of planting board and area ratio of bed to floor in greenhouse parameters. Using the model developed, the design cooling load of nutrient solution in hydroponic greenhouse of 1,000$m^2$(300pyong) was predicted to be 95,000 kJ/hr in Suwon and the vicinity.

In order to provide fundamental data for the achievement of safe environmental condition, investigation of the actual state of the nutriculture practices in Korea was carried out. The result obtained are summarized as follows. 1. Cultivation area of nutriculture was 6 ha and culture types included deep flow technique(43%), nutrient film technique(45%), gravel culture(6%), chaff charcoal culture(3%) and rockwool culture(3%). 2. Greenhouses were mostly made of pentite pipe frames and covered by polyethylene film, and culture beds were handy combination of cement blocks, concrete and styrofoam, which were not standard products. 3. Development of nutriculture system appropriate to our actual circumstances and improvement of establishments are required. 4. Since there was not farmhouse that performs the environmental measurement and environmental conditions of cultivation were very limited. sensor applied environmental control technology of nutriculture should be developed.

This study was conducted to develop the simple and convenient irrigation control model which can maintain the appropriate rates of irrigation and drainage of nutrient solution according to the enviornmental conditions and growth stages in soilless culture of cucumber. In order to obtain fundamental data for development of the model, investigation of the actual state of soilless culture practices was carried out. Most irrigatioin systems of soillness culture were controlled by the time colock. Evapotranspiration of cucumber in soilness culture was investigated and correlations with environmental conditions were analyzed , and its estimating model was developed. In order to develop the irrigation system which can control the amount of nutrient solution applied according to seasons, weather conditions, and growth stages, a irrigation clock control was developed. Applicability of the model was tested by simulation. Drainage rates of nutrient solution controlled by conventional time clock, integrated solar radiation, and the developed model were 61% , 20%, and 32% , respectively in cucumber perlite culture.

국내 양액재배 면적은 94년말 53.5ha로 90년의 8.1ha에 비해 급격히 확대되었으며, 이중 오이는 15.5ha로 36%를 점유하고 있다. 오이의 경우 펄라이트경이 58.4%로 고형배지경이 대부분을 차지하고 있는데 이는 근권환경의 안정성이 높아 재배의 위험성을 경감시킬 수 있기 때문으로 생각된다. 그러나 펄라이트의 경우 자체가 갖는 수분보유력은 크지만 입자 직경에 따라 배수성이 지나치게 커서 정식후 초기활착이 곤란해질 우려가 있으므로 금액방법의 적정화, 입자크기의 선택, 왕겨, 훈탄, 입상암면 등 다양한 이종배지를 이용한 혼합배지의 활용 등을 검토할 필요가 있는 것으로 알려지고 있다.

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.

As the automation of nutrient solution management proceeds in the field of hydroponics, effective supporting systems to manage the nutrient solution by computer become needed. This study was attempt to predict the EC of nutrient solution using the neural networks. The multilayer perceptron consisting of 3 layers with the back propagation learning algorithm was selected for EC prediction, of which nine variables in the input layer were the concentrations of each ion and one variable in the output layer the EC of nutrient solution. The meq unit in ion concentration was selected fir input variable in the input layer. After the 10,000 learning sweeps with 108 sample data, the comparison of predicted and measured ECs for 72 test data showed good agreements with the correlation coefficient of 0.998. In addition, the predicted ECs by neural network showed relatively equal or closer to the measured ones than those by current complicated models.

토양양액재배의 역사는 국내에서 '95년 이후 일부 시험기관에서 시험되었으며 일본과 이스라엘의 경우 꾸준히 연구가 수행되어 지금은 상당한 수준에 이르고 있다(이, 1999 ; 서, 1999 ; 임, 1998). 일본에서는 양액토경재배가 강부(1994)에 의해서 그 기술이 연구되고 또한 일부 회사에서 저단가로 실용적인 시스템과 전용액비를 개발하여 보급하고 있다. 절화국의 경우에는 EC 1.0과 EC 1.5dS/m 처리구에서 생장과 품질이 양호하였으며 EC 2.0과 EC 2.5dS/m 처리구에서 생육 후반기 염류장해로 인한 뿌리 손상이 발견되었으며 초장과 품질이 저하하였다.

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.

양액재배에서 고려해야할 문제는 근권의 환경관리인데, 그 중에서도 가장 중요한 문제는 배양액의 관리이다. 배양액의 관리는 재배환경 및 작물의 생육단계에 따라서 달리해야 하는데, 현재 농가에서의 배양액관리는 재배경험이 일천한데다 사용하는 배양액에 따른 생장과 발육반응에 대한 결과가 미흡하다. 이런 측면에서 토마토의 분무경재배시 일반적으로 가장 많이 사용하는 배양액조성들이 방울토마토의 생장과 과실생장에 미치는 작용을 살펴보고, 방울토마토 양액재배시 성공적인 배양액관리를 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 본 실험을 수행하였다. (중략)
