  • A low-cost and precise metering device, which is suitable to automatic mixing of nutrient-solution for hydroponic culture, was developed for small-scale growers. The metering accuracy of the metering device developed was compared with commercial metering pumps. The mixing performance through the control of EC and pH was also evaluated. The accuracy of the metering device in terms of the full -scale error was $\pm$0.3% , which was much better compared to $\pm$2.45% and $\pm$1.38% for the two types of commercial metering pumps. The mixing system of nutrient-solution with the metering device showed a satisfactory control performance with the accuracies of $\pm$0.05mS/cm and$\pm$0.2pH for EC and pH, respectively.

  • 농업ㆍ원예분야에서 다공질 재료를 인공배지로 이용하기 위하여는 수분관리의 용이성, 우수한 양분의 유지, 통기성 및 보수성이 요구된다. 이들 성질을 만족시키는 재료로는 점토, 벤토나이트, 질석(vermicutite), 펄라이트(perlite) 및 락-울(rock-wool) 등이 이용된다. 인공배지 재료로 널리 사용되는 펄라이트와 락-울의 원료는 중국 및 호주 등지로부터 수입에 의존하고 있어 양액재배 농가에 커다란 부담이 되며 건습조절이 곤란하여 배지 내 수분함량의 조절이 용이하고 양액사용이 간편한 배지 및 폐기처리시 환경문제를 야기하지 않는 반영구적이며 자연친화형의 배지의 개발이 절실히 요구되고 있다.

  • 최근 미래형 농업으로 주목받고 있는 '아쿠아포닉스(Aquaponics)'는 물고기 양어 기술(Aquaculture)과 수경 농법(Hydroponic)을 융합한 친환경적인 순환형 생산 시스템이다. 하지만 양식 환경과 수경재배환경이 서로 성장하는 데에 영향을 주기 때문에 농업인이나 일반인이 사용하기에 난도가 높고, 초기 투자비가 많이 든다는 점에서 국내 도입에 대한 문제점이 제기되고 있다.[1] 본 논문에서는 IoT 기술을 이용해 아쿠아포닉스의 단점을 보완할 기술적 대안과 국내 도입 문제 해결방안으로서 오토팜(AutoFarm) 시스템을 제안한다.

  • There is a growing interest in plant factories around the world, and in recent years, research on an automated management system that can grow crops even in an urban environment is in progress. The development of this management system is based on the development of ICT (Information Communications Technology) technology, and research is being conducted focusing on facilities, light sources, temperature, humidity and automation to increase the productivity of plants. Research on standardization is ongoing. In this paper, by constructing a test bed that can grow hydroponic ginseng in a container environment, we propose a model that can monitor and manage the environment for the growth process on mobile.

  • This study was performed to develop a suitable nutrient solution for standard rose substrate culture in a closed hydroponic system. 1/4, 1/2, 2/3 and 1 strength of the nutrient solution made by Japan National Institute of Vegetable and Tea Science (JNIVT) were supplied. The photosynthesis rate, quality and growth of cut flower were higher in the 1/2 and 2/3 strength of nutrient solution during high and low temperature period. Based on the above results, optimum nutrient solutions (UOS) were composed by nutrientwater (n/w) absorption ratio with 1/2S ($NO_{3^-}N$ 6.8, $NH_{4^-}N$ 0.7, $PO_{4^-}P$ 2.0, K 3.8, Ca 3.0, Mg 1.2, $SO_{4^-}S$ $1.2me{\cdot}L^{-1}$) at high temperature season and 2/3($NO_{3^-}N$ 9.7, $NH_{4^-}N$ 0.8, $PO_{4^-}P$ 2.2, K 5.0, Ca 3.9, Mg 1.5, $SO_{4^-}S$ $1.5me{\cdot}L^{-1}$) at low temperature season. The results of suitability examination showed that the EC level in newly composed nutrient solution (UOS) was more stable than other nutrient solutions due to its large amount of calcium and potassium. The growth of cut flower cultivated with UOS was higher than those of other nutrient solutions. Especially, the yield of cut flowers in UOS nutrient solution increased 1.4 times than that of other nutrient solution treatments. Consequently, the new nutrient solution investigated in this experiment was suitable for rose cultivation in a closed hydroponic system.

  • To develop a nutrient solution for a closed hydroponic system in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) 'Atlantic' and 'Superior' potatoes were grown with the nutrient solutions whose strengths were 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 of the concentration of the nutrient solution developed by the National Horticultural Experiment Station in Japan. The best results in potato growth and yield were obtained with 0.5 and 1.0 strength nutrient solutions, and nutrient compositions for potato were determined based on the 1.0 strength nutrient solution; $14.4me{\cdot}L^{-1}\;N,\;4.2me{\cdot}L^{-1}\;P,\;7.5me{\cdot}L^{-1}\;K,\;5.5me{\cdot}L^{-1}\;Ca$, and $3.5me{\cdot}L^{-1}\;Mg$ for stolon growth stage and $14.8me{\cdot}L^{-1}\;N,\;4.0me{\cdot}L^{-1}\;P,\;8.5me{\cdot}L^{-1}\;K,\;6.5me{\cdot}L^{-1}\;Ca$, and $3.0me{\cdot}L^{-1}\;Mg$ for tuber growth stage. To examine the suitability of the nutrient solutions developed for potato, the strengths of 1.0 (PS 1.0S), 0.75 (PS 0.75S), or 0.5 (PS 0.5S) were compared with half-strength of Japanese Horticultural Experiment Station' solution (JH 0.5S). Changes in pH, EC, and mineral concentrations in nutrient solutions depended more on solution strength and growth stage than on the type of nutrient solution. However, most elements in solution remained constant with plant age in PS 0.75S solution during stolon growth stage, and in PS 0.5S solution during tuber growth stage. The greatest growth and tuber yield was obtained in the standard strength solution (PS 1.0S), and potato solution developed in this experiment was recommended for hydroponic culture of potato in a closed system.

  • Concentration of nitrogen, one of the major elements, and ratio of two nitrogen forms (NH4+ and NO3-) in the nutrient solution affect the quality and food safety of fresh vegetable produce. This study was conducted to find an appropriate strength and NH4+:NO3- ratio of a nutrient solution for growth and development of a Romaine lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. longiflora) 'Caesar Green', a representative leafy vegetable, grown in a home hydroponic system. In the first experiment, plants were grown using three types of nutrient solution: A commercial nutrient solution (Peters) and two strengths (GNU1 and GNU2) of a multipurpose nutrient solution (GNU solution) developed in a Gyeongsang National University lab. Plants grown with the GNU1 and GNU2 had greater shoot length, leaf length and width, and biomass yield than Peters. On the other hand, the root hairs of plants grown with Peters were short and dark in color. Tissue NH4+ content in the Peters was higher than that of the GNU1 and GNU2. The higher contents of NH4+ in this solution may have caused ammonium toxicity. In the second experiment, eight treatment solutions, combining GNU1 and GNU2 solutions with four ratios of NO3- :NH4+ named as 1, 2, 3 and 4 were used. Both experiments showed more growth in the GNU2 group, which had a relatively low ionic strength of the nutrient solution. The growth of Romaine lettuce showed the greatest fresh weight along with low tissue NO3- content in the GNU2-2. This was more advantageous in terms of food safety in that it suppressed the accumulation of surplus NO3- in tissues due to the low ionic trength of the GNU2 subgroup. In addition, this is preferable in that it can reduce the absolute amount of the input of inorganic nutrients to the nutrient solution.
