Abstract

The influence of physicochemical properties of root substrates on the growth of mother plants and occurrence of daughter plants in 'Seolhyang' strawberry propagation were investigated through plastic bag cultivation. Six different formulations of root substrates were coir dust + perlite (5:5, A), coir dust + perlite (6:4, B), coir dust + perlite (7:3, C), coir dust + coconut chip (7:3, D), coir dust + coconut chip (6:4, E), and peatmoss + vermiculite (5:5, v/v; F). The total porosities (TP) and container capacities (CC) of all root substrates were higher than 85% and 55%, respectively, indicating that all substrates were in the acceptable range. But the TP and CC of F substrate were 91.5% and 60%, respectively, which were the highest among the root substrates tested. In the soil chemical properties analyzed before planting and after harvesting of 'Seolhyang' strawberry mother plants, the root substrates of A, B, C, and F had higher electrical conductivity and $NO_3$-N concentrations than those of D and F. The root substrates of A, B, C, and F had heavier runner fresh and dry weights, longer runner lengths, and more daughter plant occurrence than those of D and F. The treatment F had higher tissue N content than any other treatments at 120 days after the transplanting of 'Seolhyang' strawberry and statistical differences were not observed among remained 5 substrates. The treatment of F also had the higher tissue contents of other nutrients except N analyzed at 120 days after transplanting. These results indicated that soil chemical properties rather than physical properties severely influenced the growth of runners and occurrence of daughter plants.

코코피트 + 펄라이트(5:5, A), 코코피트 + 펄라이트(6:4, B), 코코피트 + 펄라이트(7:3, C), 코코피트 + 코코칩(7:3, D), 코코피트 + 코코칩(6:4, E), 그리고 피트모스 + 버미큘라이트(5:5, F)의 6종류 상토를 혼합하고 플라스틱 백에 충전하였다. 다음 '설향' 딸기의 모주를 재배하면서 상토 물리 화학성이 모주 생육과 자묘 발생에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 조제된 모든 상토는 공극률이 85% 이상, 용기용수량이 55% 이상으로 측정되어 모든 상토가 수용 가능한 범위에 포함되었지만, F 상토의 공극률과 용기용수량이 각각 91.5% 및 60%로 다른 상토들보다 뚜렷하게 높았다. '설향' 딸기의 정식 전 또는 작물을 수확한 후 분석한 상토의 화학성에서 상토 A, B, C, 및 F의 전기전도도 및 질산태 질소 농도가 상토 D 또는 E보다 높았다. 또한 염 농도가 높았던 상토 A, B, C, 및 F의 런너 생체중, 건물중, 및 길이 그리고 자묘 발생수가 염농도가 낮았던 상토 D 및 E보다 많았으며, 상토의 물리성 보다 화학성이 런너의 생장 및 자묘 발생에 더 큰 영향을 미쳤다. '설향' 딸기의 정식 120일 후 지상부 전체의 무기물 함량을 분석한 결과에서 질소함량은 F 상토를 제외한 다른 상토들 간에 유의차를 발견할 수 없었는데, 이는 주정리를 통해 하위엽을 제거해준 것이 원인이 되었다고 판단하였다. 분석한 다른 원소의 식물체내 함량도 F 상토에서 뚜렷하게 높아 화학성이 자묘 발생에 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다.
