The optimal greenhouse scales for controlled tomato should be studied because the increase of oil price and labor costs following the shortage of workforce makes greenhouse cultivation hard to gain profits. The purpose of this study is to estimate optimal production scales by greenhouse types for controlled tomato. The translog cost function is estimated based on the production cost survey data. The results can be summarized as follows: First, the average production cost of controlled tomato per kg decreases as the production scale increases. Second, according to the tomatoes farm of standard farming income data of RDA, the minimum production scale is 23 ton. Third, the estimated output of single-span greenhouse considering production scale with minimum average cost is 345 ton and production cost per kg is 1,476 won. The corresponding figures of multi-span greenhouse are 415 ton and 936 won, respectively. The study results can be used as basic materials for efficient decision making of tomato farmhouses and novice farmers. Also, the study shows that multi-span greenhouse should be encouraged to be built, since it requires lower marginal cost than single greenhouse. The results of this paper will help increase the income of farmhouses and cut expenses for the coming years.

In December 2020, stem and leaf rot symptoms in small-fruited tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants were observed in a farmer's vinyl greenhouse located in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, Korea. The incidence of diseased plants in the vinyl greenhouse was 2-6%. Seven single-spore isolates of Phoma sp. were obtained from the diseased stems and leaves. All the isolates were identified as Boeremia linicola based on the cultural, morphological and molecular characteristics. Two isolates of B. linicola were tested for pathogenicity on stems and leaves of small-fruited tomato and large-fruited tomato using artificial inoculation. All the tested isolates caused stem and leaf rot symptoms in the inoculated plants. The symptoms were similar to those observed in plants from the vinyl greenhouse investigated. This is the first report of B. linicola causing stem and leaf rot in tomato.

본 연구에서는 토마토 재배에 적합한 규격을 가지면서 기상재해에 안전한 토마토 재배용 연동 비닐하우스를 설계하였다. 토마토 하우스의 규격은 폭 7m, 측고 4.5m, 동고 6.5m이다. 1995년에 농촌진흥청에서 개발한 1-2W형 하우스와 비교해서 폭은 같지만 측고는 1.8m, 동고는 2m 더 높다. 중방은 작물하중과 장치하중을 견딜 수 있도록 트러스 구조로 설계하였다. 토마토 하우스는 높으면서도 내재해 설계 기준(MIFFAF, 2010)에 맞게 만들어졌다. 즉, 최고 설계 기준인 풍속 $40m{\cdot}s^{-1}$, 적설 40cm 이상에 안전하도록 구조안전성 분석을 통해 하우스 기둥, 서까래 등의 부재 규격과 설치 간격을 설정하였다. 1-2W형 하우스와 달리 토마토 하우스에는 랙-피니언 타입의 천창을 용마루 부분에 설치하여 외부 공기 유입과 자연 환기를 극대화할 수 있도록 하였다. 하우스 높이가 증가하면 난방비는 증가하므로 토마토 하우스에는 보온력이 우수한 다겹 보온커튼을 설치하여 하우스 바깥으로 빠져나가는 열을 최소화하였다.

Crop productivity decreases globally as a result of salinization. However, salinity impact on greenhouse-grown crops is much higher than on field-grown crops due to the overall concentrations of nutrients in greenhouse soils. Therefore, this study was performed to determine the short-term changes in growth, photosynthesis, and metabolites of tomato plants grown in greenhouse under heavily input of fertilizers evaluated by microbial activity and chemical properties of soils. The soils (< 3, 3.01~6, 6.01~10 and > 10.01 dS $m^{-1}$) from farmer's greenhouse fields having different fertilization practices were used. Results showed that the salt-accumulated soil affected adversely the growth of tomato plants. Tomato plants were seldom to complete their growth against > 10.0 dS $m^{-1}$ level of EC. The assimilation rate of $CO_2$ from the upper fully expanded leaves of tomato plants is reduced under increasing soil EC levels at 14 days, however; it was the highest in moderate or high EC-subjected (3.0 ~ 10.0 dS $m^{-1}$) at 28 days. In our experiment, soluble sugars and starch were sensitive markers for salt stress and thus might assume the status of crops against various salt conditions. Taken together, tomato plants found to have tolerance against moderate soil EC stress. Various EC levels (< 3.0 ~ 10.0 dS $m^{-1}$) led to a slight decrease in organic matter (OM) contents in soils at 28 days. Salinity stress led to higher microbial activity in soils, followed by a decomposition of OM in soils as indicated by the changes in soil chemical properties.

This study was conducted to investigate the growth characteristics of cherry tomatoes in greenhouse using far infrared heating system. The far infrared greenhouse heating systems were installed in two ways on the greenhouse side wall and at the greenhouse ceiling. The heating characteristics of far infrared heating system were analyzed by investigating the heating load, internal temperature, energy consumption, growth characteristics and quality evaluation. The results were compared with heated air heating system using kerosene. The results showed that tomatoes grown in the greenhouse with the far infrared heating system had relatively better plant height, leaf length, leaf width, stem diameter than ones from the greenhouse with hot air heating system and both heating methods had no significant difference on Cherry tomato sugar contents. At the same time, the far infrared heating system reduced heating cost from 34.5 to 41.4% on comparing with hot air heating system.

Machine vision system was used for analyzing leaf color disorders of tomato plants in a greenhouse. From the day when a few leave of tomato plants had started to wither, a series of images were captured by 4 times during 14 days. Among several color image spaces, Saturation frame in HSI color space was adequate to eliminate a background and Hue frame was good to detect infected disease area and tomato fruits. The processed image ($G{\sqcup}b^*$ image) by OR operation between G frame in RGB color space and $b^*$ frame in $La^*b^*$ color space was useful for image segmentation of a plant canopy area. This study calculated a ratio of the infected area to the plant canopy and manually analyzed leaf color disorders through an image segmentation for Hue frame of a tomato plant image. For automatically analyzing plant leave disease, this study selected twenty-seven color patches on the calibration bars as the corresponding to leaf color disorders. These selected color patches could represent 97% of the infected area analyzed by the manual method. Using only ten color patches among twenty-seven ones could represent over 85% of the infected area. This paper showed a proposed machine vision system may be effective for evaluating various leaf color disorders of plants growing in a greenhouse.

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) and tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) are well-known examples of the begomovirus and orthotospovirus genera, respectively. These viruses cause significant economic damage to tomato crops worldwide. Weeds play an important role in the ongoing presence and spread of several plant viruses, such as TYLCV and TSWV, and are recognized as reservoirs for these infections. This work applies a comprehensive approach, encompassing field surveys and molecular techniques, to acquire an in-depth understanding of the interactions between viruses and their weed hosts. A total of 60 tomato samples exhibiting typical symptoms of TYLCV and TSWV were collected from a tomato greenhouse farm in Nonsan, South Korea. In addition, 130 samples of 16 different weed species in the immediate surroundings of the greenhouse were collected for viral detection. PCR and reverse transcription-PCR methodologies and specific primers for TYLCV and TSWV were used, which showed that 15 tomato samples were coinfected by both viruses. Interestingly, both viruses were also detected in perennial weeds, such as Rumex crispus, which highlights their function as viral reservoirs. Our study provides significant insights into the co-occurrence of TYLCV and TSWV in weed reservoirs, and their subsequent transmission under tomato greenhouse conditions. This project builds long-term strategies for integrated pest management to prevent and manage simultaneous virus outbreaks, known as twindemics, in agricultural systems.

본 논문에서는 온실재배 토마토에서 수분 상태를 고려한 정밀한 관개를 위하여 경직경의 변화에 근거한 자동관개 시스템을 구현하고자 하였으며 이와 같은 작물적 지표에 의한 관개제어시스템을 포트재배(closed feeding system) 조건과 포장재배 조건의 재배에 적용하여 토마토의 수량과 과실의 품질에 대하여 그 적합도를 평가하였다. 작물적 지표에 의한 관개 자동화를 위하여 경직경 측정 센서를 이용하여 측정한 경직경 일증가량(DI)를 관개 개시점의 결정에 이용하고, 동시에 이때의 관개량을 결정하기 위하여 토마토 증산모델을 적용한 마이크로 컴퓨터 자동관개 시스템을 구현하고 그 성능을 평가하였는데, 이 자동 관개 시스템을 이용하여 관개처리한 결과 포트재배에서는 토양수분에 의한 관개방식보다 수량 및 과실의 당도가 증가하였으나 포장조건에서는 관개방법간에 큰 차이가 없었다. 따라서 경직경 증가에 근거한 관개 개시점을 판단하고 관계량을 결정하는 증산모델을 사용하는 컴퓨터 시스템은 특히 closed feeding System에서 유용하며 토양조건에서는 토양의 상태, 작물의 반응 등을 고려하여 적용하여야 할 것으로 판단되었다.
