Studies on the Manufacture of Fiber Pot and its Effect for the Good Transplanting

이식용(移植用)Pot의 제조(製造) 및 그 효과(効果)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)

This study was carried out to examine the substitution possibility into fiber pot instead of Jiffy pot for the good transplanting. Fiber pot was made of fiber, wood waste particle, and bark powder (10% of the particle weight) and also latex was added into the furnish as a binder. The pots were sprayed with just enough urea solution to prevent nitrogen deficiency of pot media coming from the breakdown of wood fiber in the pot wan during the plant growing. The utility of fiber pot was compared with that of Jiffy pot in the service test of two tree species under a green-house condition. The results obtained can be summarized as follows ; 1. Fiber pot made of 30% wood fiber+70% particle including 10% of bark powder, and 3%-latex has shown a good results like that of Jiffy pot in the sp. gr., tear factor and burst factor. For water absorption, fiber pot made of 50% fiber+50% particle, and 3%-latex got the best result. In the consideration of the above physical and mechanical properties of the fiber pot for good root penetration through the pot wall and facile handling, fiber pot made of 30% fiber+70% particle, and 3%-latex may be seemed to be good. 2. There were no harms in sapling growth in fiber pot as well as in Jiffy pot. The root penetration ability through the fiber pot was slightly inferior to that of Jiffy pot, and yet the pot damage through transportation seemed to be slighter in fiber pot than in Jiffy pot.

본(本) 연구(硏究)는 산지이식(山地移植)에서 Jiffy pot를 fiber pot로 대체가능(對替可能)한가 알아보기 위해 수행(遂行)되었다. fiber pot는 fiber, wood waste particle, particle 량(量)의 10%에 해당하는 bark powder로 만들어졌고 또 latex가 결합제(結合劑)로 첨가(添加)되었다. pot는 식물(植物)이 자라는 동안 pot벽(壁)의 wood fiber 분해(分解)에서 생기는 배양토(培養土)의 N흠핍증(欠乏症)을 막기 위해 충분(充分)한 요소액(尿素液)으로 spray되었다. fiber pot의 이용가능성(利用可能性)은 온실조건(溫室條件)하에 두 수종(樹種)의 service test에서 Jiffy pot와 비교(比較)되었다. 결과(結果)는 다음과 같이 요약(要約)된다. 1. 비중(比重), 비인열도(比引裂度), 비파열도(比破裂度)에 있어서 30% wood fiber+10%의 bark powder를 포함(包含)한 70% particle과 3% latex로 된 fiber pot가 Jiffy pot에서와 같은 좋은 결과(結果)를 나타냈다. 흡수력(吸水力)에 있어서는 50% fiber+50% particle과 3%-latex로 된 fiber pot가 가장 좋은 결과(結果)를 나타냈다. 뿌리의 pot벽(壁) 관통(貫通), 취급편의성(取扱便宜性)에 대(對)한 상기(上記) 물리적(物理的), 기계적(機械的) 성질(性質)을 고려(考慮)할 때 30%fiber+70%particle과 3%-latex로 된 fiber pot가 좋을 것으로 보였다. 2. Jiffy pot와 마찬가지로 fiber pot에서도 묘목생장(苗木生長)에는 아무런 해(害)가 없었다. 뿌리의 pot벽(壁) 관통능력(貫通能力)은 Jiffy pot보다 fiber pot가 다소 뒤지나 운반(運搬)에 의(依)한 pot의 손상(損傷)은 Jiffy pot보다 약간 더 경미(輕微)했다.
