Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate a adequate strength of nuttient solution in production of marjoram and oregano by hydroponicsl Two herbs were grown for 40days with the strength of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 dS${\cdot}m^{-1}$ in herb's nutrient solution developed by European Vegetable R & D Center, Belgium. the growth, vitamin C, and essential oil content of marjormam were higher in the treatment of 0.5 dS${\cdot}m^{-1}$ than the other treatments tested. But marjoram growtn with the sstrength of 20. and 3.0 dS${\cdot}m^{-1}$ had the highest mineral contents and essential oil content, respectively. Elevated strength of nutirent solution decreased chlorophyll content. In oregano, the growth was vest in the stength of 0.5, but withered in the strength of 3.0 The chlorophyll content was the lowest in the strength of 0.2dS${\cdot}m^{-1}$, while vitamin C contents had no statistical differences among treatments, Oregano grown with 1.0 dS${\cdot}m^{-1}$had the highest mineral and essential oil content, but the oil yield washighest in the treatment of 0.5 dS ${\cdot}m^{-1}$. In conclusion, the strength of 0.5 dS${\cdot}m^{-1}$ herb's nutrient solution was adequated in production of marjorma and oregano in hydroponicc system.

본 실험은 수경재배시 마죠람과 오레가노의 알맞은 배양액 농도를 구명하기 위하여 실시했다. 배양액은 유럽채소연구센터 허브액을 사용했다. 처리농도는 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0배액 등 4수준이었고 재배기간은 40일이었다. 마죠람은 지상부 생육, 지하부 생육, 비타민 C,총 정유생산량은 0.5배액에서 가정 조았다. 그러나 무기물함량은 20.배액에서, 정유함량은 3배액에서 좋았으며 엽록소 함량은 고농도에서 감소하였다. 오래가노의 생육 0.5배야ㅐㄱ에서 조았으며, 3.0배액에서는 고사하였다. 엽록소 함량은 2.0배액에서 낮았으나 비타민 C는 이온농도에 영향을 받지 않았다. 무기물과 정유함량은 1.0배액에서 높았으나, 정유생산량은 0.5배액에서 높았다. 이사의 결과로 볼 때 마죠람과 오레가노 수경재배시 적절한 배양액 농도는 허브 배야액 0.5배인 것으로 생각된다.
