Effect of Plant-growth-promoting Bacteria Inoculation on the Growth and Yield of Cucumber(Cucumis sativa L.)

식물생육촉진 세균이 오이 생육 및 수량에 미치는 영향

We studied the effect of inoculation of microorganisms known to produce plant growth promoting substances, on the growth and yield of cucumber(Cucumis sativa L.), through a field experiment. The microorganisms used were isolated from the forest soil and consisted of Micrococus sp., Baccilus sustilis, Enterobacter agglomerans, Baccilus megaterium, Pseudomonas putida, Cellulomonas sp. and Staphylococus xyposus. Fotr the multiplication, microorganisms were cultured in liquid media of Pseudomonas P and Sabouraud dextrose. Inoculation of microorganisms was done by spraying the culture media after the culture of them to soil and cucumber plants, three times during the growth of cucumber at the rate of 10l/ha. The inoculation of microorganisms tended to promote the growth of cucumber plant and increase the yield of it. No sign of significant improvement of soil chemical and physical properties were observed after the harvest of crop. The population of bacteria and actinomycetes tended to be higher in the inoculated plots than in not inoculated plots, while opposite was the case in the population of fungi.

식물생장촉진 효과가 있는 Micrococcus sp., Bacillus subtilis, Enterobacter agglomerans, Bacillus megaterium, Pseudomonas putide, Pseudomans fluorescens, Cellulomonas sp., Staphylococcus xylosus등 8종의 혼합균주 배양액을 오이에 처리하였을때 작물에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 균처리구는 대조구에 비해 수량은 18% 증수되었으며, 주당 수확과수는 평균 5.1개 정도 많았다. 2. 만장, 엽장, 엽폭은 균처리구와 대조구간에 차이가 없었지만 줄기의 굵기, 2차측지 발생율, 유인 측지절수, 절성성은 균처리구가 대조구에 비해 양호하였다. 3. 토양의 물리성중 가밀도, 공극률은 차이가 없었으나 수분율은 균처리구가 대조구에 비해 높은 경향이었으며, 토양 화학성은 균처리구가 대조구에 비해 EC, 유기물, Ca, $NO_3-N$ 함량은 낮아졌으며, 그외 성분은 높은 경향이었다.
