Abstract
This experiment was carried out to develop the substrate mixtures for the production of high quality plug seedlings of cucumber. Peatmoss based substrates, rice hull, carbonized rice hull, decomposed sawdust, perlite and granular rockwool were mixed by five different mixing ratioes (M1, M2, M3, M4 and M5). The cultivars used were cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Janghyung heukjinju) plants. The higher the content of peatmoss added, the higher the plant growth in terms of plant height, leaf area and total dry weight, which leading to the production of high quality plug seedlings. Seedlings growth of cucumber were greater in M5 mixtures [peatmoss:rice hull:decomposed sawdust=40:40:20(v/v)], M4 mixtures [peatmoss:rice hull:decomposed sawdust:granular rockwool=30:25:20:25(v/v)] and M2 mixtures [peatmoss:rice hull:decomposed sawdust:granular rockwool=20:20:15:25:20(v/v)] The concentrations of nutrient solution (EC) had a great influence on plant height, leaf area, total fresh and dry weight of cucumber seedlings growth. As the concentration of nutrient solution increased from 0.1 to $1.5dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$, the growth and seedling quality of cucumber in plant height, leaf area and dry weight were significantly improved.
오이['장형흑진주' 오이; (주)서울종묘]를 공시작물로 하여 양질의 플러그묘 생산을 위한 혼합배지 개발과 적정 관비 양액 농도를 규명하기 위해 수행하였다. 혼합배지는 피트모스를 기본으로 왕겨, 훈탄, 부숙톱밥, 펄라이트 및 입상압면 등을 상이한 비율로 혼합하여 5처리로 하였고, 그 중 양호한 혼합배지 3종을 선발하여 관비 양액 농도(EC)를 대조구(EC $0.1dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$), 0.5, 1.0 및 $1.5dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$등으로 처리하여 오이 유묘의 생장반응(27일째)을 검토하였다. 오이 플러그묘 생장에 양호한 혼합배지는 피트모스:왕겨:훈탄:부숙톱밥:펄라이트=25:10:25:20:20(v/v), 피트모스 왕겨:부숙 톱밥:입상암면=30:25:20:25(v/v) 및 피트모스:왕겨:부숙톱밥=40:40:20(v/v)였다. 대조구 (EC $0.1 dS\;m^{-l}$)에 비해 관비 양액의 농도가 높아질수록 초장, 엽면적 및 총건물생산량 등이 현저히 높아 EC $1.5dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$로 두상관수 2-3회 관비하였을 때 가장 좋은 플러그묘를 생산할 수 있었다. 관비 양액 농도와 혼합배지 종류 처리간에는 유의차가 인정되지 않았다.
