Abstract

To investigate effects of kind of pot for raising of seedling (single plastic pot, double plastic pot, circular peat pot, square peat pot) and planting method of the pot (3/3, 2/3, and 1/3 by the buried degree of pot height) on watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) growth, this research was conducted under plastic film house. Since planting of seedlings, number, area and photosynthesis rate of leaves, plant height and weight were superior in seedling grown in double plastic pot than those grown in the others. In fruit characteristics harvested at 12 weeks after planting, fruit height, diameter and weight were longer in double plastic pot than in the others, also fruit peel thickness and hilum diameter were thicker and shorter. Initial growth of the plant after planting with seedling grown in double plastic pot was superior in method buried the 2/3 degree of the pot height than the other methods.

본 연구는 플라스틱하우스 수박 재배 시 육묘 포트종류와 그 정식 방법이 정식 후 생육 및 과실 특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 수행하였다. 잎의 수, 면적 및 광합성률, 초장, 생체중량 모두 정식 후 시간이 경과하면서 관행포트 묘에 비해 이중플라스틱포트 묘에서 우수한 경향을 나타내었다. 수확과의 과고, 과폭 및 과중도 이중플라스틱포트 묘에서 다른 포트 묘에 비해 다소 큰 경향이었다. 과피두께는 사각형피트포트 묘에서 가장 얇았고 관행포트 묘에서 가장 두꺼웠으며, 배꼽 직경은 과피두께 결과와 반대의 경향을 나타내었다. 그리고 이중플라스틱포트 묘의 정식 깊이에 따른 초기 생육은 포트 높이의 2/3 정도에서 가장 우수하였다.
