Abstract

'Nokkwang' green pepper plants were grown in soil system (silty loam with pH 6.5) under the greenhouse, to determine the effects of subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) and subsurface drip irrigation plus aeration (SDIA) into root zone comparing with conventional surface drip irrigation (DI) in terms of water use efficiency, soil properties, and growth and fruit yield. Two drip lines per crop row were layed on the soil surface in DI system, buried at a depth of 20cm below the soil surface in SDI system, and also buried at a depth of20cm below the soil surface and aerated for 3minutes a hour during the daytime ($08:00{\sim}19:00$) by a air compressor in SDIA system. A automatic irrigation with starting point of -20kPa and ending point of -10kPa based on soil moisture contents was applied by controllers and electronic vacum soil moisture sensors. Reduction in soil moisture contents was delayed in SDI and SDIA, compared to DI. Irrigation amount applied in pepper cultivation was around 30% less in SDI than in DI. Electric conductivity and nitrate nitrogen content in the surface soil grown green pepper were significantly lowered in SSDI and SDIA, compared to DI. Better development of root system was observed in SDIA and SDI than in DI. Results showed that pepper fruit yield increased by 30% in SDIA and 22% in SDI in comparision with DI.

지표관수와 비교하여 지중관수 및 지중관수 시 공기주입의 효과를 검토하고자 '녹광' 풋고추를 온실 내에서 토양재배(silty loam)하여 관수효율, 토양특성, 과실 생육 및 수량 등을 조사하였다. 관수방법은 관수호스를 이랑당 2열 배열하되 지표관수는 토양표면, 지중관수는 지표 20cm 아래에 설치하였고, 공기주입은 air compressor를 이용하여 낮 동안에 시간당 3분간 주입하였다. 관수는 콘트롤러, 전자식 토양수분장력센서 등을 이용, 토양수분에 기초한 자동관수를 실시하였는데, 관수개시점은 -20kPa, 관수종료점을 -10kPa로 설정하여 관리하였다. 그 결과, 토양수분의 감소속도가 지표 관수에 비해 지중관수와 지중관수 +공기주입이 늦었으며, 관수량도 지중관수가 지표환수에 비해 지표면에서의 증발 감소 등으로 약 30% 적었다. 표토층의 EC 및 무기이온함량은 지표관수에 비해 지중관수나 지중관수 +공기주입이 낮은 수준이었다. 뿌리의 발달은 지표관수에 비해 지중관수+공기주입한 것이 가장 좋았는데, 특히 뿌리가 길고 세근의 발달이 많았다. 이로 인해 풋고추 수량이 지표관수에 비해 지중관수가 22%, 지중관수 +공기주입이 30% 각각 증가되었다.
