Abstract

This research was conducted to investigate the influence of leaching fractions (LF) in each irrigation or fertigation on plant growth and changes in chemical properties of root media during the production of seedling grafts of tomato. Two root media containing Sphagnum peat moss plus vermiculite (5:5, v/v, PV) and coir dust plus vermiculite (5:5, v/v, CV) were formulated and pre-planting fertilizers were incorporated during formulation. Then, each medium was packed into 50 cell (volume 33 cc) and 105 cell (volume 18 cc) trays and the rootstock (cv. J3B Strong) and scion (cv. Sunmyung) were grown, respectively. The seedlings were grafted at 31 days after sowing and then the cut seedling grafts (Sunmyung scion/J3B Strong rootstock) were planted into 50 cell plug trays containing each of the two root media. After induction of the graft union and new adventitious roots for 7 days, the seedling grafts were fed with fertilizer solution once a week containing 4 different N concentrations (0, 50, 100, $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$). When determined after 31 days from seed sowing, the highest fresh weights of the root stock seedlings were obtained with 0.75 LF in PV (8.96g/seedling) and CV (7.11g/seedling) mixes. The EC of the both mixes were 0.93 and $1.09dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$, respectively. The fresh weights of the scion seedlings 31 days after seed sowing were 4.29g with 0.50 LF in the PV and 3.13g with 0.50 LF in the CV. The root medium ECs of the two treatments were 0.76 and $1.34dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$, respectively. Fresh weights of the seedling grafts grown for 31 days were greatly influenced by post-planting fertilizer concentrations. The heavier plants were obtained in $100mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ N treatment than any other treatments in same mixes. The substrate ECs in these two treatments were 0.98 and $1.93dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$, respectively, indicating that the desirable range of soluble salts in soil extracts is higher in the CV mix than the PV mix. Results of this study suggest that optimum EC range is different in each medium and LF need to be adjusted differently for each root medium to produce high quality seedling grafts of tomato.

관비 또는 관수시 배액률(LF)과 시비농도가 토마토 접목묘를 생산하는 과정에서 묘 생장 및 근권부 화학성 변화에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 피트모스+버미큘라이트(5:5, v/v, PV) 그리고 코이어 더스트+버미큘라이트(5:5, v/v, CV)를 혼합한 두 종류 상토를 조제하는 과정에서 기비를 혼합하였으며, 비료 혼합 후 50셀(셀 용량 33cc)과 105셀(셀 용량 18cc)에 충전하였다. 충전 후 대목인 'J3B Strong'은 50셀, 접수인 'Sunmyung'을 105셀 트레이에 파종한 후 재배하였다. 파종 31일 후 대목과 접수를 절단하고 단근삽접한 후 접목묘('Sunmyung' scion/'J3B Strong' rootstock)는 두 종류 상토가 충전된 50셀 플러그 트레이에 정식하였다. 접목 후 플러그 트레이를 광도를 조절한 플라스틱 터널 내부에 7일간 위치시켜 접목 부위의 활착과 새로운 부정근 형성이 이루어지도록 한 후 N 기준 0, 50, 100 그리고 $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$로 농도를 조절한 비료 용액을 매주 1회 관비하였다. 파종 31일 후 대목의 생장을 조사한 결과 두 종류 상토 모두 LF를 0.75로 조절한 처리에서 가장 우수하였으며 유묘당 지상부 생체중이 PV는 8.96g 그리고 CV는 7.11g으로 조사되었고, 이들 처리의 전기전도도는 각각 0.93 and $1.09dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$로 측정되었다. 파종 31일 후 조사한 접수의 평균 생체중은 PV와 CV 혼합상토의 0.50 LF 처리에서 각각 4.29g과 3.13g으로 조사되어 가장 무거웠고, 이들 두 처리의 EC는 각각 0.76과 $1.34dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$로 측정되었다. 접목 31일 후 추비농도에 영향을 받은 접목묘의 생체중은 두 종류 상토 모두 $100mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$의 시비구에서 가장 무거웠다. 생체중이 가장 무거웠던 처리의 EC는 PV 및 CV 상토가 각각 0.98과 $1.93dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$였으며 접목묘 생장을 위한 적절한 EC 범위는 CV 상토가 PV 상토 보다 높음을 의미한다. 이상의 결과는 접목묘 생장을 위한 적절한 EC범위가 상토에 따라 다르므로 소질이 우수한 접목묘를 생산하기 위하여 배액률도 상토별로 다르게 조절되어야 함을 의미한다.
