Abstract

Objective of this research was to investigate the influence of $NH_4^+$ and $NO_3^-$ ratios in liquid feeding on the growth of snapdragon 'Potomac Red' and changes in medium chemical properties. The seeds were sown into 200 plug trays and fertigated once a week with nutrient solution containing various ratios of $NH_4^+$ and $NO_3^-$ such as 0 : 100, 27 : 73, 50 : 50, 73 : 27, and 100 : 0. The total N concentrations were adjusted to 50, 100 and $150\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ in plug stages of 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Determination of seedling growth and analysis of plant tissue and root medum were conducted at 56 days after sowing. The treatment of 27 : 73 ($NH_4^+:NO_3^-$) had the greatest plant height, fresh weight, and dry weight. The N and P contents in 27 : 73 ($NH_4^+:NO_3^-$) treatment based on the above ground plant tissues were 2.39 and 0.39%, respectively, which were the greatest among treatments. The elevation of $NH_4^+$ ratio in fertigation solution decreased tissue Ca and Mg contents, but that did not influence tissue K content. The variations in $NH_4^+:NO_3^-$ ratios impacted the soil solution pH and the difference among treatments had been severe since three weeks after sowing. Elevation of $NH_4^+$ ratios in fertigation solution increased electrical conductivity and concentrations of K, Ca, and Mg in soil solution of root medum. The $NH_4^+$ and $NO_3^-$ concentrations in the soil solution were high in weeks 2, 3, and 4, then decreased gradually as the biomass of seedlings increased. Medium P concentration decreased gradually as seedlings grew, but statistical differences were not observed among treatments.

금어초 'Potomac Red'를 200공 플러그 트레이에서 육묘하면서 $NH_4^+$과 $NO_3^-$ 비율을 조절한 액비로 시비한 결과 초장, 생체중 및 건물중 모두 27 : 73($NH_4^+:NO_3^-$)의 비율로 시비된 처리에서 가장 좋은 생장을 나타냈다. 파종 56일 후 식물조직의 질소와 인산함량은 27 : 73로 시비된 처리에서 각각 2.84% 및 0.39%로 가장 높게 분석되었다. 식물체내 K의 함량은 처리간 차이가 뚜렷하지 않았지만, 관비용액의 $NH_4^+$ 비율이 높아질수록 식물체의 Ca 및 Mg 함량이 감소하는 경향이었다. 상토의 pH는 파종 3주 후부터 $NH_4^+:NO_3^-$의 시비 비율에 따른 처리간 차이가 발생하여 8주까지 계속적으로 변하였으며, $NO_3^-$의 비율이 증가할수록 중성쪽으로, 그리고 $NH_4^+$의 비율이 증가할수록 산성쪽으로 변하였다. 상토의 EC는 $NH_4^+$ 의 비율이 증가할수록 높아졌고, 100% $NH_4^+$ 처리에서 파종 8주 후 $2.2dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$까지 상승하였다. $NH_4^+:NO_3^-$의 비율에 따른 상토중 질소 농도변화는 100 : 0의 비율에서 가장 높은 $NH_4^+$-N 농도를, 0 : 100에서 가장 높은 $NO_3^-$-N 농도를 나타내었고, 상토의 인산농도는 처리간 뚜렷한 차이가 없이 식물이 생장함에 따라 토양의 인산농도는 낮아졌다. 그러나 관비용액의 $NH_4^+$ 비율이 높아질수록 상토의 K, Ca 및 Mg 농도가 높아지는 경향이었다. 관비용액의 $NH_4^+:NO_3^-$의 비율에 대한 식물생장 반응을 고려할 때 두 질소 비율로 27 : 73으로 조절하는 것이 플러그 육묘를 위해 바람직하다고 판단하였다.
