Abstract

Mungbean should be harvested several times according to its physiological characteristics and weather conditions of cultivation region. In Korea, mungbean is usually sown in June and harvested three or four times, and the cultivated area is being rapidly reduced. Therefore, the author developed cultivation techniques of mechanical harvesting suitable for the weather conditions of the southern part of the Korean peninsula. The optimum sowing time of mungbean for mechanical harvesting in southern part of Korea is around July 20. When sown around July 15, mungbean should be harvested twice and then the mechanical harvesting of mungbean was not possible. Meanwhile, when sown after July 25, the mechanical harvesting was possible but the maturing period was longer and the seed yield was decreased. Therefore, it is safe to say that in Korea the mechanical harvesting of mungbean is possible for the middle part of Korea when the plant is sown before July 20 and for the southern coastal region of Korea when sown after July 20 (if July 20 is set up as the baseline for the southern part of Korea). Out of Keumseong and Owool, which are popularized cultivars in Korea most, Owool is determined to be most appropriate for mechanical harvesting. Owool is favorable for mechanical harvesting because, when compared to Keumseong, it is higher both in plant height and in pod height, and also the seed yield is better.

녹두는 생리적 특성과 재배지역의 기상조건 등에 따라 여러 번 수확해야한다. 한국에서는 일반적으로 6월에 파종하여 $3{\sim}4$회 가량 수확하므로 녹두 재배면적이 급격히 감소하고 있다. 따라서 한국 남부지역의 기상조건에 맞는 기계수확 재배기술을 개발하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 남부지역에서 기계수확을 위한 최적 파종기는 7월 20일 경 이었다. 7월 15일 경에 파종하였을 때는 2회 수확해야 하므로 기계수확이 불가능하였다. 7월 25일 이후 파종하였을 때는 기계수확이 가능하였으나 성숙기간이 길어지고 수량이 적었다. 그러므로 한국에서는 남부지역 7월 20일 기준으로 중부지역은 이전에 남부해안지역은 이후에 파종하면 녹두 기계수확이 가능할 것으로 보아진다. 한국에 가장 많이 보급된 금성녹두와 어울녹두 중에 어울녹두가 기계수확 재배에 적합한 품종이었다. 즉 어울녹두는 금성녹두에 비해 경장이 길고 착협고가 높아 기계수확에 유리할 뿐만 아니라 수량이 많았다.
