Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate development of seed pellet technique such as pellet polymer search, the shape formation and hardness, the germination and emergence rate of the pellet seeds for labor-saving and reducing production cost in onion(Allium cepa L.) cultivation. The pellet seeds shape formation was good such as kaolin, clay, ash, and gypsum, and clay was good shape formation but surface of pellet seed was cracked during the drying. PG(pearlite + gypsum) as pellet material and PVA as binder were the best among the material in consideration with shape and hardness together. The hardness of the pellet seeds was affected by polymers, the kinds and concentration of binders, and that degree was large at polymer. The high hardness polymers were gypsum and coal ash, but burned lime was the lowest hardness among the pellet material. The germination(GP) and emergence percentage(EP) of pellet seed with PG in vitro were the highest among the material, and that was 93.6, 91.8%, respectively. The EP of pellet seed with PG at 20, $25^{\circ}C$ were 91.3, 92.0%, respectively, The EP of pellet seed were over the 91%, and those did not show difference with field moisture capacity , and that of 5 and 6mm size seed were the highest as 92%, respectively. and other size seeds showed over 90%, too. The EP of pellet seed with PG was decreasing as increasing the sowing depth, and that of at 10mm sowing depth was the highest as 92.7%. The time to 50% emergence of that under 70% field moisture capacity was 158h, and that was delayed at 20h compare to control seed.

양파의 직파재배를 정착시켜 국제경쟁력을 제고 시키기 위한 기초연구의 일환으로 양파종자에 pellet 처리하는 방법을 개발하고, pellet종자의 제 특성을 조사하였던 바 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) Pellet 종자의 모양형성은 일차적으로 pellet물질의 종류에 따라 좌우되며 kaolin, clay, ash,석고 등은 모양형성이 잘 되었으며, bentonite와 diatomite는 모양형성은 되지만 pellet 종자의 표면이 매끄럽지 않았으며, clay는 모양형성은 잘되지만 건조하는 과정에서 pellet종자의 표면에 균열이 발생하였다. PG를 polymer로 PVS(8%)를 binder로 하여 pellet한 종자는 모양 형성, 경도 등에서 가장 적합하였다. 2) Pellet종자의 경도는 polymer종류, binder의 종류와 농도의 영향을 받는데 그 정도는 polymer에서 더 컸다. pellet물질 중 경도가 높았던 것은 gysum, coal ash 등이었으며, 생석회는 경도가 가장 낮았다. 3) PG로 pellet한 종자의 기내 발아율과 출아율은 각각 93.6, 91.8%로 pellet 물질 중 가장 높았고, 출아율은 처리온도 20, $25^{\circ}C$에서 비슷하였다. 토양 수분함량별 출아율은 각각 91% 이상으로 토양 수분함량간 큰 차이는 없었다. 종자의 크기별 평균 출아율은 pellet종자 입경 5와 6mm에서 각각 92.0%로 가장 높았다. 파종심도별 출아율은 파종심도 10mm에서 92.7%로 가장 높았으며 파종심도가 점차 깊어질수록 낮아졌다. 토양수분함량별 평균 출아소요시간은 토양수분함량 70%에서 158시간으로 대조구 138시간에 비해 20시간이 지연되었다.
