Abstract
This study was executed to see the effects of Ca : K ratios in me.L$^{-1}$ -0:9, 1.5:7.5, 3:6, 4.5:4.5, 6:3 - in the nutrient solution on the photosynthesis, transpiration, growth and incidence of tipburn in butterhead ‘Omega’and Leaf ‘Grand Rapids’lettuce (Lactuca sativa. L) grown in nutrient film technique(NFT). The photosynthesis of both lettuces showed high in the Ca : K ratios of 3:6 and 4.5:4.5 regardless of species. But stomatal resistance of Grand Rapids was higher than that of Omega. The highest transpiration rate of them was shown in the Ca : K ratio of 3:6. The transpiration rate of developing leaves was lower than that of expanded leaves. It was seemed to have relation with incidence of tipbum in the developing leaves. The nutrient solution treatment without Ca developed less growth than that of other treatments, especially growth and development of apical part were inhibited, so that in the both of them incidence of tipburn appeared 100 percent. The incidence of tipburn in Omega appeared 25 percent in the Ca/K ratio of 1.5:7.5, but Grand Rapids did not show it according to the Ca/K ratio in nutrient solution. The highest growth in two species was also shown in the Ca/K ratio of 3:6 except nutrient solution without Ca. This study suggested that the unbalanced ratio of Ca/K affected Ca transport in two species because of the increase of stomatal resistance and diffusive resistance and the decrease of photosynthesis and transpiration.
반결구 상추 ‘Omega’와 잎상추 ‘Grand Rapids’의 m 재배에서 배양액내 Ca : K 비율이 광합성, 증산, 생육 및 tipburn 발생에 미치는 영향을 밝히고자 실험을 수행하였다. 반결구 상추와 잎상추 두 종 모두 광합성은 Ca : K 비율 3:6과 4.5:4.5에서 높았으며, 기공 저항은 잎상추가 반결구 상추보다 낮았다. 증산율은 3:6의 Ca : K 비율에서 두 종 모두 가장 높았으며, 잎상추의 증산율이 반결구 상추보다 높아 종간 차이를 보였다. 엽위에 따른 증산율은 완전 전개잎에 비해 미숙잎에서 낮았는데, 이것은 미숙잎에서 tipburn 발생이 많은 것과 깊은 관계가 있는 것으로 보였다. Ca 결핍구인 Ca : K 비율 0:9처리는 두 종 모두 극단적인 생육 저하와 함께 tipburn이 100% 발생하였으며, 반결구 상추는 Ca : K 1.5:7.5 처리에서도 tipburn이 25% 발생하였으나, 잎상추에서는 나타나지 않았다 작물 생육은 Ca 결핍구를 제외한 두 종 모두 Ca : K 3:6 처리에서 가장 높았다. 배양액의 Ca과 K의 불균형은 기공저항과 확산저항을 높여 광합성과 증산의 감소를 유도함으로써 Ca 이동에 영향을 미친 것으로 보였다.
