Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of grafting methods on plug seedling quality, growth after transplanting, and yield of oriental melon that those seedlings were raised in the 32 hole plug tray for protected cultivation. Number of leaf and leaf area in approach grafting were higher until 15 days after grafting but lower on 20 days after grafting. Plant height, stem diameter and content of chlorophyll were nearly the same of each grafting methods on 20 days after grafting. Growth of top part, that is, plant height, leaf number, and leaf area on root removed single cotyledon ordinary splice grafting was the highest among the grafting methods. In the underground part, dry weight of root was high and T/R ratio was the lowest. Seedling quality of root removed single cotyledon ordinary splice grafting was the highest among grafting methods before transplanting. Plant height, number of leaf, leaf area and dry weight of root removed single cotyledon ordinary splice grafting in the growth of field were the highest on 30 days after grafting among grafting methods and days required for first flowering was also shorter, 38.4 days among grafting methods. But Fruit weight, content of soluble solids, fruit hardness, and color characteristics in fruit quality were insignificant among each grafting methods. Consequently, grafting methods influenced on the seedling quality, of oriental melon early growth after transplanting and yields. It was concluded that root removed single cotyledon ordinary splice grafting was the best methods in present study. It will be needed to convert grafting methods. Thus new grafting method should be applied.
시설참외 32공 플러그트레이 육묘시 접목방법이 따른 묘 소질과 정식 후 생육과 수량에 미치는 영향을 구명코자하였다. 접목방법은 관행의 호접과 편엽합접 및 단근편엽합접을 실시하였다. 접목 후 15일 후 묘소질은 호접이 엽수와 엽면적에서 높았으나 이후 점차 감소되어 접목 후 20일에는 초장, 경경, 엽록소함량이 비슷하였고, 접목 후 25일에는 단근편엽합접에서 초장, 엽수, 엽면적 등 지상부 생육이 가장 높았으며 지하부도 근건중이 높아 T/R율이 가장 낮은 경향을 보여 정식 전 묘 소질이 가장 좋게 나타났다. 본포 생육은 초장, 엽수, 엽면적 그리고 건물중에서 정식 후 30일 단근편엽합접이 가장 높았으며 첫 개화소요일수도 38.4일로 가장 빨랐다. 그러나 과실의 품질은 과중, 당도. 경도, 색도에서 접목방법별 차이가 없었다 따라서 접목방법의 차이가묘 소질과 정식 후 초기생육과 수량에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 접목방법의 전환이 요구되는 것으로 나타났다.
