Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate the labor saving cultivation of C. auriculatum, which has much bigger root than local variety C. wilfordii, and tested three nonsupporting methods, i.e., untreated control, top pinching, and cutting of branch-top compared with I type stake. Top growth was more vigorous in staking cultivation than in nonsupporting cultivations. Among nonsupporting methods, main vine length and total length of main vines per plant were increased in order of untreated control > top pinching > cutting of branch-top, while the opposite is true to diameter of main vein. Number of leaves per plant was lower, but leaf length and leaf width were higher in cutting of branch-top than in other nonsupporting methods. Number of branched root and diameter of main root were bigger in cutting of branch-top and in staking cultivation, while length of main root and diameter of branched root were greater in staking cultivation and in top pinching than in other treatments. Although yield of marketable root per 10a was $17.9{\sim}22.6%$ lower, income was $8%{\sim}17%$ higher in nonsupporting methods than in staking cultivation by cost saving to staking installation. Among nonsupporting methods, yield of marketable root and income were 6% and 8% higher in cutting of branch-top than in untreated control, respectively.
백수오 지주설치 생력화를 목적으로, 무지주 처리방법을 달리하여 백수오 중국도입종을 재배하고, 이에 따른 생육, 근수량 및 경영비를 검토한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 관행 지주재배시 무지주 재배에 비해 생육이 양호한 경향이었으며, 무지주 처리 간에는 주만장과 주경의 총만장은 무처리, 적심, 선단예취 순으로 긴 반면, 경태는 선단예취, 적심, 무처리 순으로 굵었다. 선단예취시 엽수는 가장 적었으나 잎이 크고 엽당 무게가 무거운 편으로 이는 덩굴의 선단부 예취로 인해 수광면적이 확대됨으로써 광합성능률이 향상된 것으로 판단된다. 2. 지근의 수와 주근태는 지주재배와 선단예취에서 다소 많거나 굵었고, 주근장과 지근태는 지주재배와 적심 처리에서 길거나 굵었다. 3. 10a당 생근수량은 관행 지주재배시 1,918kg에 비해 무지주 재배시 $17.9{\sim}22.6%$ 감수되었으나, 지주생력화로 생산비가 감소됨으로써 경영비가 절감되어 소득이 $8%{\sim}17%$ 증가되었다. 무지주 처리방법 간에는 무처리에 비해 선단예취시 생근수량은 6%, 소득은 8% 각각 높았다.
