Abstract

Oriental melon (Cucumis melo L.) is generally cultivated on the ground by creeping culture. A farmer has a higher workload for training stems. This study was conducted to find out a new cultivation of oriental melon to reduce a workload and improve the quality of fruit. There were three treatments for training stem of oriental melon; upward stem growing, downward stem growing, control (creeping stem growing). The results of the plant growth and the net photosynthesis showed higher in upward stem growing. The root activity was higher in downward stem attract. The yield was not significant as 4,055kg/10a in upward stem attract and 3,983kg/10a in downward stem attract. According to the results of the ergonomic agricultural workload evaluation, in the case of the working posture, the working posture of creeping cultivation methods (squatting, bending) showed a higher risk level than the upward and downward cultivation methods. Therefore, it is recommended the upward stem attract of oriental melon is a new cultivation as well as an alternative method for creeping stem attract in terms of improving the plant growth and yield, and reducing the workload.

참외는 줄기를 땅 위에서 포복재배로 유인하는 것이 일반적으로써 노동강도가 강해서 농업인 근골격계 질환의 원인이 되므로 작업강도를 낮추고 품질도 향상시키기 위한 새로운 재배 방법을 찾고자 본 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 줄기를 상향으로 유인하는 처리구가 생육 및 광합성 특성이 좋았고, 근활력은 하향 줄기 유인 처리구에서 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 상품 수량에 있어서는 상향 처리구가 4.055kg/10a, 하향 처리구가 3,983kg/10a으로 통계적인 유의성은 없었다. 줄기유인 작업에 대한 작업자세 평가의 경우, 기존 포복재배가 상향, 하향 재배방식 보다 위험수준이 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 결론적으로, 참외 수경 수직재배는 작물 생육, 수확량 및 작업 노동강도 등을 고려해 볼 때 기존 포복재배 방식을 대체할 수 있는 새로운 재배방법이라고 판단되고, 참외 줄기 유인 방법별로 수량 등에 유의성이 없으므로 상향 줄기유인 방법이나 하향 줄기 유인방법 중에서 하우스의 구조나 재배자의 의향에 따라서 선택하여 수직재배를 하면 될 것으로 사료된다.
