Abstract

In order to control tree vigor, 'Fuji'/M.9 apple trees in high density orchard were ringed width 5 mm in 2004 in tree trunk in different phenological stages; terminal bud break, full bloom and fruitlet (fruit size is about 15 mm). It was observed that ringing at bud break stage reduced the total shoot growth of trees to 64% of the uncut control, while ringing at full bloom stage to 73%, indicating that the early ringing, the more effective on controlling vegetative growth. When the trees were ringed at full bloom, return bloom was the highest, 85.7%, compared to the control of 33.6%. Ringing at bud break stage was remarkably increased return bloom to 56.0%, and resulted in low vegetative growth. Ringing at fruitlet stage only got a slightly higher return bloom compared to the control trees. Appropriate shoot growth reduction resulted from ringing in tree trunk before full bloom stage did not have certain negative effect on fruit quality and improve tree flowering in the following year. With respect to increasing return bloom and yield efficiency, the optimum ringing time was full bloom.

고밀식 사과원에 있어 수세가 강한 '후지'/M.9 사과나무의 세력을 안정시키는데 효과적인 환상박피 처리방법을 알기 위하여 2004년 발아기, 만개기 및 과경 15mm의 유과기에 5mm의 폭으로 주간에 실시하였다. 박피에 따른 영양생장을 무처리인 대조구와 비교한 결과, 발아기 박피구의 총 신초장은 대조구의 64% 수준이었으나 만개기 박피구에서는 73%로 박피 시기가 빠를수록 영양생장 감소가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 익년 개화율은 만개기 처리구가 무처 Kor. J. Hort. Sci. Technol. 28(1), February 2010 35리의 33.6%에 비해 85.7%로 가장 높았고, 생장억제가 가장 컸던 발아기 처리구는 박피 처리구 중에서 가장 낮은 56.0%였다. 박피가 시기에 관계없이 사과의 품질에는 뚜렷하게 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 박피 시기에 있어서는 신초 억제효과는 만개기 이전에 처리하는 것이 효과적이었으나 익년 개화율 증가에서는 만개기 이후에 처리하는 것이 효과적인 것으로 나타나, 신초 억제효과 및 익년 개화율 증가를 볼 때 적절한 환상박피 처리 시기는 만개기인 것으로 판단되었다.
