Abstract
In an effort to produce high quality Angelica gigas NAKAI in the southern area of Korea, a variety of mulching materials were used to prevent withering during the summer. The experimental results are summarized as follows. Soil water content and temperature under various mulching materials were higher than those without mulching, in all the cases studied. Among various mulching materials P. E.(polyethylene) mulching material showed the highest effect. The appearance of weeds was the lowest when using the black P. E. mulching, while growth of weeds was the greatest when using transparent mulching. Growth and development of the plant were better with P. E. mulching than straw mulching or no mulching, allowed for more and bigger leaves. The bolting rate was about 2∼5%, with a slightly larger value under P. E. mulching. Under P. E. mulching, probably due to good physical properties of the soil the number of roots was large, and the length and diameter were good. Active growth of roots under P. E. mulching resulted in a yield increase of the plant. The black P. E. mulching material showed a prominent effect on suppression of weed growth, and the black P. E. material was considered to be the most recommendable among various P. E. mulching materials when there is a lack of labor.
우리 나라의 남부지방에서 고품질의 참당귀를 생산하고자 비가림하우스를 이용하여 차광재배로 하고현상을 방지한 후 멀칭재배을 실시하여 시험을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1 멀칭 종류별 토양의 습도와 지온은 무멀칭보다 멀칭재배에서 높았고, 특히 멀칭 중에서도 P. E.(polyethylene) 멀칭이 가장 높았다. 2. 잡초의 발생은 멀칭 종류별 투명 P. E. 멀칭재배에서 가장 적게 발생되었고, 투명 P. E. 멀칭재배에서는 많이 발생되었다. 3. 생육은 P. E. 멀칭재배가 짚멀칭이나 무멀칭보다 엽수가 많고 엽장이 커서 양호하였다. 4. 추대는 2∼5% 정도가 발생되었으며, P. E. 멀칭 재배에서 약간 많이 발생되는 경향이었다. 5. 수량은 P. E. 멀칭재배가 토양의 물리성이 좋아서 근수가 많고, 근장과 묘두직경이 커서 뿌리 생장이 양호하여 증수되었다.
