Abstract

To obtain the basic information for late-cultivation of sweet potato [Ipomoea hatalas (L.) Lam. cv. 'Jinhongmi'], vine growth and storage root yield were investigated in variously cutting sizes (10, 20, and 30 cm) and planting depths (1~4 nodes in 30 cm vine) using black-film vinyl mulching cultivation ($75{\times}25\;cm$ planting density, June 20). At 30 days after planting, main vine length, number of node, and vine fresh weight were significantly affected by the cutting length, and these were significantly different 10 and 30 cm at 120 days. The vine elongation affected by planting depths showed the best growth in 2-nodes planting depth and the lowest growth in 4-nodes planting depth at 30 days, but the vine growth was not significantly different among planting depths at 120 days. Number of storage root per plant, weight of storage root per plant, mean weight of storage root and yield of storage root were increased in longer cutting length, and those in 10 cm cutting length were significantly reduced compared to the 20 and 30 cm cutting length. Number of storage root per plant in the deeper planting was much increased, but mean weight of storage root was much decreased. Yield of storage root per 10a was highest in 3-nodes planting depth. Therefore, planting methods by cutting length over 20 cm and planting depth of 2~3 nodes in late-cultivation of sweet potato will be more efficient to improve the vine growth and storage root yield.

고구마 만기재배를 위하여 '진홍미'를 공시하여 생육 및 수량에 미치는 삽수크기 및 삽식깊이의 영향을 조사하였다. 삽수크기에 따라 삽식 30일 후 줄기신장, 마디수 및 생체중 등은 유의한 차이를 보였으나, 120일 후에는 10cm와 30cm 삽수 간에서만 차이를 보였다. 삽식깊이에 따라 삽식 30일 후 초기 생육은 2마디 깊이 삽식에서 가장 양호하였고, 4마디 깊이 삽식에서 오히려 늦어지는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 120일 후 지상부 생육은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 삽수 크기가 클수록 주당 총저수와 주당 총저중, 상저비율이 증가하였으며, 식물체당 괴근수 및 괴근중, 10a당 수량 등은 10cm 삽수에서 20~30cm 삽수보다 유의하게 감소하였다. 또한 삽식깊이가 깊을수록 식물체당 괴근수는 증가한 반면, 평균 괴근중은 감소하였고, 10a당 수량은 3마디 삽식에서 기장 높았다. 띠라서 고구마 만기재배에서 생육 및 수량을 증대시키기 위해서는 삽수크기는 20cm 이상, 삽식깊이는 2~3마디로 재배하는 것이 좋을 것으로 생각된다.
