Abstract

In landscape design by public institutions, although the costs and species of landscape trees stipulated by the Korean Public Procurement Service(PPS) are generally adhered to, the PPS regulations about planting trees with well-developed rootlets are almost entirely neglected. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of buried container modules, which are a new technology and product in landscape production that is able to reduce the defect rate while complying with regulations. To this end, this study measured rootlet density, rootlet development length, rootlet survival rate on excavation, and impairments of tree growth for 3 months after root pruning, and compared these variables for the container modules with those for trees that underwent root pruning in bare ground, and those that were cultivated in a container above ground. The results were as follows: First, the rootlet density was 88% for the trees in container modules, which was very high. Trees that underwent standard root pruning in bare ground had a somewhat lower density of 64%. Meanwhile, the trees that were cultivated in pots above ground died, invalidating measurement. Second, in terms of rootlet development and rootlet survival rate, the trees in container modules showed a mean length of 10.4cm, and 100% survival rate, indicating that there was no rootlet damage caused by excavation. For the trees that only underwent root pruning in bare ground, the mean length was 25.6cm and the rootlet survival rate was only half that of the trees in container modules, at 56%, demonstrating considerable damage. Rootlet development did not occur at all in the trees grown in pots. Third, the trees in container modules and those that underwent root pruning in bare ground did not show any deaths during the root pruning process, or any impairments such as stunted leaf growth. Conversely, the trees grown in pots nearly all died, and severe impairments of tree growth were observed. As shown by the results above, when we evaluated the performance of buried container modules, they showed the most outstanding performance of the three models tested in this study. The container modules prevent defects by stimulating early rooting in environments that with poor conditions for growth, or in trees that are not suited to the summer environment Therefore, it is expected that they would be an optimal means by which to enable compliance with rules such as the regulation presented by the PPS.

공공기관의 조경공사 설계시에는 일반적으로 조달청에서 고시하는 조경수목 가격을 반영하나, 수목 식재시 조달청에서 정한 세근발달 재배품이라는 규정이 거의 준수되지 않고 있는 실정이다. 규정을 준수하면서 하자율을 줄일 수 있는 조경수 생산의 신기술, 신제품인 지중 매립형 컨테이너 모듈의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 단근 후 3개월간의 세근 발생밀도, 세근발달 길이 및 굴취시 세근 유지율, 수목의 생육 지장 여부에 대하여 일반노지 단근과 컨테이너 용기 지상재배와 비교 연구하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 세근 발생의 밀도는 컨테이너 모듈을 사용한 조경수에서는 88%로 매우 높게 나타났으며, 일반 노지 단근은 64%로 상대적으로 낮았고, 컨테이너 용기를 이용한 지상재배 조경수는 고사하여 측정의 의미가 없었다. 둘째, 조경수의 세근발달과 세근 유지율은 컨테이너 모듈의 경우, 평균 길이는 10.4cm, 세근 유지율은 100%로서 굴취에 의한 세근의 손상은 없었으며, 노지 단근의 경우 평균 길이는 25.6cm, 세근 유지율은 56%로 컨테이너 모듈의 절반 수준으로 훼손이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 컨테이너 용기 조경수의 세근발달은 전혀 이루어지지 않았다. 셋째, 컨테이너 모듈과 일반 노지 단근의 경우, 단근 작업에 따른 수목의 고사 또는 왜소엽 등의 지장이 전혀 없었다. 반면에 컨테이너 용기의 경우, 거의 전량이 고사하여 수목생육에 지장이 심각한 것으로 확인되었다. 이상에서, 지중매립형 컨테이너 모듈의 성능을 평가해 본 결과, 세 가지 모델 중 가장 우수한 것으로 확인되었으며, 컨테이너 모듈이 여름철 부적기 식재나 생육조건이 불리한 환경에서 수목의 빠른 초기 활착을 유도함으로써 하자를 예방하고, 조달청 규정 등에서 제시하고 있는 원칙을 준수할 수 있는 최적의 대안이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
