Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effects of different degrees of defoliation during harvest season on hydroponically cultured 'Seolhyang' strawberry's fruit characteristics, plant growth, and changes in nonstructural carbohydrates, and find an effective defoliation method. On November 29, 2013, some of the 'Seolhyang' leaves were non-defoliated and the others were defoliated remaining 9 and 5 leaves. The number of fruits and fruit weight were not significantly different in the first flower cluster but in the second, third, and fourth flower clusters decreased as the level of defoliation increased. The soluble solids content and acidity of fruits decreased in all the clusters as the level of defoliation increased. The leaf area and leaf dry weight of strawberry plant in all the treatment groups decreased from January to March and root dry weight sharply decreased during February. Thereafter, during April, the growth of plant increased. As defoliation increased, the dry weight of fruits, flower clusters, crowns, and roots decreased, and during late growing period, difference in dry weight according to the degree of defoliation was considerable. The content of carbohydrate was greater in the leaves than the fruits excepting January 30 and February 28, 2014 and in the case of strawberry plant that continuously produce fruits, the content of carbohydrate decreased in the leaves and roots. As defoliation increased, the content of carbohydrate in fruits, flower clusters, crowns, and roots decreased. Defoliation for strawberry plants is carefully done during harvest season. Twelve leaves during December and 14 leaves from January to March should be maintained, and in April when the number of leaves increases, old leaves should be defoliated.

수확기간 동안 적엽 수준이 수경 재배한 '설향' 딸기의 과실 특성, 식물체 생육 및 탄수화물 변화에 미치는 영향을 밝히고, 효과적인 적엽관리 방법을 구명하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 2013년 11월 29일에 잎을 무적엽, 9매, 5매 남기고 적엽하였다. 과실수와 과실 수량은 1화방에서 유의적인 차이가 없었으나 2, 3, 4 화방에서 적엽 수준이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 과실의 당도와 산도는 모든 화방에서 적엽 수준이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 딸기 식물체는 모든 처리구에서 엽면적과 엽건물중이 1월부터 3월까지 감소하였고, 뿌리 건물중은 2월에 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이후 봄철 4월에 식물체 생장이 증가하였다. 적엽이 증가할수록 과실, 화방, 관부, 뿌리 건물중이 감소하였고, 생육 후반기로 갈수록 적엽 정도에 의한 차이가 현저하였다. 탄수화물 함량은 2014년 1월 30일과 2월 28일을 제외하고 과실보다 잎에서 많았고, 과실 생산이 연속적인 딸기 식물체는 잎과 뿌리에서 탄수화물 함량이 감소하였다. 적엽이 증가할수록 과실, 화방, 관부, 뿌리의 탄수화물 함량이 감소하였다. 딸기 식물체는 수확기간 동안 적엽을 최대한 자제하고, 12월에는 12매, 1월부터 3월까지는 14매 정도의 잎을 유지하고, 잎의 수가 증가하는 4월에는 오래된 잎 위주로 적엽을 실시한다.
