Abstract

Seed pelleting is generally conducted in order to save the labor for sowing and thinning by enabling the precision mechanical planting. In the present study, the influence of physical and chemical properties of pelleting solid materials was investigated on carrot seed germination. Among the pelleting solid materials evaluated, dialite, kaolin, and talc showed low bulk density and high porosity. Bentonite and dialite carried high water holding capacities of 184% and 173%, respectively, while calcium carbonate, calcium oxide, and fly ash showed relatively low water holding capacity. The pH of kaolin (6.8) and dialite (7.4) were close to neutral, while limestone (12.8), calcium oxide (13.0), and bentonite (10.0) were highly basic. High electro-conductivity was shown in limestone and calcium oxide. EDS analysis revealed that the main elemental compositions of talc were Si (71.0%) and Mg (29.0%), and those of calcium carbonate were Ca (66.6%), Si (22.9%), and Mg (10.5%). High granulation capacity was observed from talc and the mixture of talc and calcium carbonate. Seeds pelleted with bentonite showed the highest hardness. The dissolving type of the pellet layer after imbibition was split type in talc, limestone, zeolite, and fly ash, melt type in calcium carbonate and calcium oxide, and swell type in bentonite and vermiculite. The shortest dissolving time of pellet layer was observed from calcium carbonate and kaolin. The germination speed $(T_{50})$ was delayed as the size of pelleted seeds increased. The optimum size of pelleting was 19 ratio in carrot.

펠렛의 목적은 기계화 정밀파종하여 파종과 솎음노력을 절감하는데 있다. 펠렛 피복물질의 용적밀도는 dialite, kaolin 및 talc 등이 낮았고 기공성은 높았다 보수력이 우수한 피복물질은 bentonite와 dialite 이었으며, 184% 및 173%의 수분을 보유할 수 있었다. 반면 calcium carbonate, calcium oxide, fly ash등은 보수력이 낮은 펠렛 피복물질이었다. 펠렛 피복물질의 pH는 kaolin과 dialite에서 각각 6.8 및 7.4로 중성이었으나, limestone, calcium oxide, bentonite 등은 pH가 12.8, 13및 10으로 강알카리였다. 전기전도도는 강알카리인 limestone, calcium oxide에서 높았다. 이와 같이 높은 pH와 전기전도도를 보인 피복물질들은 당근종자의 펠렛에 적합하지 않았다. 펠렛 피복물질를 EDS로 분석한 결과, Talc는 주성분이 Si (71%)이었고, Mg도 29% 함유하였다. 반면 calcium carbonate의 주요성분은 Ca (66.6%)이었으며, 이외에 Si (22.9%)와 Mg (10.5%)를 함유하였다. 펠렛 형성정도는 kaoline, talc 및 talc + calcium carbonate 혼합재료에서 우수하였다. 펠렛종자의 경도는 bentonite로 펠렛된 종자에서 가장 높았다. 수분흡수 후 펠렛층의 분해형태는 talc, limestone, zeolite, 및 fly ash는 열개형이었고, 용해형은 calcium carbonate와 calcium oxide등이었다. 반면 bentonite와 vermiculite는 팽창형이었다. 수분흡수 후 펠렛층의 분해는 calcium carbonate 및 kaolin으로 펠렛된 종자에서 분해가 가장 빨랐다. 펠렛배율이 높아지면 발아속도$(T_{50})$는 지연되었다. 당근종자에서 적정 펠렛배율은 19배가 좋았다.
