Abstract

The experiment was investigated the effects of lower root zone temperature on shoot and root growth of 'Akihime' strawberries in aeroponics in cold season. Root growth was decreased with decrease of root zone temperature, especially in lateral roots. Elongation of main roots was highest in $18^{\circ}C$ of root zone temperature. Number of lateral roots and length of lateral roots were lowest in $8^{\circ}C$ of root zone temperature. Lower root zone temperature resulted significantly in decrease of fresh weight of root and shoot and leaf area of strawberry. But there were no significant statistical differences in shoot fresh weight and leaf area in $8^{\circ}C$ and $13^{\circ}C$ of root zone temperature. Leaf length, leaf width and number of leaves of strawberry were decreased in lower root zone temperature. The results of this experiment will be utilized in the winter season cultivation for strawberry in hydroponics.

저온기의 딸기 재배를 위한 기초자료를 얻기 위하여 '아키히메(章姬)'품종을 재료로 딸기의 뿌리 발달에 미치는 저온의 영향과 지하부의 온도와 관련된 지상부의 생육을 조사하였다. $18^{\circ}C$의 근온처리구에서 1차근의 생육이 가장 양호하였으며 $8^{\circ}C$의 저온에서 뿌리의 신장률이 가장 낮았으며, 특히 측근의 수와 길이가 가장 저조하였다. 근부의 온도는 지상부의 생육에도 직접적인 영향을 미쳐서, 낮은 근권 온도에서는 지상부의 생체중, 엽면적, 엽장, 엽폭 및 엽수의 저하를 초래하였다. 본 실험의 결과는 지하부 온도관리의 중요성을 확인할 수 있는 것으로 딸기 촉성재배농가에 유용한 정보로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
