Abstract
Now in Korea, halophytes such as Salicornia herbacea and Spergularia marina are being cultivated as new income crops in southwestern coastal regions. So basis studies on halophytes' growth characteristics is needed for developing a standard cultural practices of them. This study was carried out to investigate on cultivation of Salicornia herbacea, representative halophytes at new reclaimed land. First, in order to examine the characteristics of Salicornia herbacea germination by salinity (NaCl concentration 0 ~ 3%), germination tests were carried out. At the low-temperature $10^{\circ}C$, germination of Salicornia herbacea was slow but lasted for 15 days at all salinities, and final germination rates were of 78 ~ 90%. At higher than $20^{\circ}C$, maximum germination rate was showed within four days. Germination inhibition by salt was showed at NaCl concentration 3% and $30^{\circ}C$. The second, to investigate on the growth characteristics of Salicornia herbacea by nitrogen fertilization, port experiments were conducted at the greenhouse. Salicornia herbacea's buds began to be found after five days after sowing. Salicornia herbacea growth such as plant height, number of braches, etc. increased with increasing nitrogen fertilization. In order to investigate the growth characteristics by salinities, cultivation test of Salicornia herbacea was conducted in nutriculture with different salinities. In the plot without NaCl, the growth of Salicornia herbacea was very low, and it began to wither within one month. In plots with NaCl, the growth of Salicornia herbacea was well until concentrations of NaCl 500mM, and optimum NaCl concentration was 200mM for growth of Salicornia herbacea. Field verification experiments about the effect of nitrogen fertilization on transplanted Salicornia herbacea were conducted at the Saemangeum reclaimed land in Korea. There was a tendency to increase number of branches and plant length with increasing nitrogen fertilization. Amount of $P_2O_5$ and mineral element such as CaO, $Na_2O$, $K_2O$ and MgO tended to increase with increasing nitrogen fertilization. However, there was no statistically significant difference.
본 연구는 염생식물인 퉁퉁마디를 대상으로 하여 신간척지에서 안정적인 재배법을 구명하고자 수행하였다. 먼저 퉁퉁마디의 발아특성을 알아보기 위해 염농도(NaCl 0 ~ 3% 농도) 별 발아율 시험을 수행하였다. $10^{\circ}C$에서는 모든 염농도에서 발아 속도는 느리나 15일까지 발아가 지속되어, 78 ~ 90%의 발아율을 나타내었다. $20^{\circ}C$이상에서는 4일 안에 최대의 발아율을 나타내었으며, NaCl 3%에서 온도가 올라갈수록 발아율이 저하되는 경향을 보였다. 퉁퉁마디의 질소시비량 별 생육특성을 알아보기 위해 온실 포트실험을 실시한 결과, 퉁퉁마디 파종 후 5일 후부터 발아가 시작하였고, 퉁퉁마디의 생육은 질소시비량이 증가할수록 초장 및 분지 등이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 염농도에 따른 생육특성을 조사하기 위해 양액 재배 조건에서 염농도에 따른 퉁퉁마디 생육을 실험하였다. 양액조건 상태에서 NaCl을 처리하지 않으면 생육이 저조하여 1개월 이후에 고사하기 시작했으며, NaCl을 처리한 구에서는 NaCl 200 mM에서 생육이 좋았고, NaCl 500 mM 이상의 염농도에서도 재배가 가능할 것이라 생각된다. 신간척지에서 퉁퉁마디의 어린 싹을 6월에 이식하여 질소시비량이 퉁퉁마디 생육에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 퉁퉁마디의 초장 및 분지수 등이 질소시비량이 증가할수록 유의적으로 증가하였으나, 인산을 비롯한 무기성분 함량은 유의적인 차이가 없었다.
