Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of night temperature on tomato and grafted watermelon seedlings, particularly, shoot height, leaf area, stem diameter, and total dry weight and relationship among the growth parameters which are used to evaluate healthy seedling. Plants were grown at 10, 15, and $20^{\circ}C$. Leaf area index (LAI) and total dry weight of tomato seedlings weight deceased more significantly under $10^{\circ}C$ than other night temperature regimes. In grafted watermelon seedlings, shoot height increased shapely and stem diameter decreased under $20^{\circ}C$. Increasing the integral temperature, leaf area of tomato seedlings under $10^{\circ}C$ decreased and shoot height of grafted watermelon seedlings increased although temperature integrals are same. The relationships among the growth parameter were changed upon the night temperature. Stem diameters of tomato seedlings had upward tendency with increase of shoot height, but there were no significant differences among night temperature regimes. Shoot hight of grafted watermelon seedlings had no relationship with shoot height. These results indicate that shoot height and stem diameter of tomato seedlings is not appropriate for assessing seedlings quality but shoot height of grafted watermelon seedlings with stem diameter is available.

작물의 묘소질은 정식 후 본포에서의 생육이나 수량, 품질에 영향을 미치기 때문에 작물 재배에서 있어서 육묘는 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 야간온도 수준을 10, 15, $20^{\circ}C$로 조절하여 토마토묘와 수박 접목묘의 생육에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보고 야간온도에 따라 변화된 초장, 건물중, 경경 등의 건묘를 나타내는 중요한 생육지표간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 야간온도 $10^{\circ}C$로 관리하였을 때 토마토묘에서 엽면적지수와 건물중이 다른 처리에 비하여 유의적으로 감소하였으며, 야간온도를 $20^{\circ}C$로 관리하였을 때 수박 접목묘에서 초장이 길어지고 경경이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 재배기간 동안의 누적온도에 대한 반응은 토마토의 경우 야간온도가 낮을 경우 누적온도가 같더라도 엽면적이 감소되어 결과적으로는 건물중을 감소시켰으며, 수박 접목묘의 경우 초장이 유의적으로 길어졌다. 주요 생육지표간의 상관관계를 살펴보면 토마토묘의 경우 초장과 경경의 경우 온도처리와 상관없이 선형적인 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타나 묘소질을 판단하기에는 부적절한 것으로 판단되며, 수박 접목묘의 초장과 경경은 야간기온 처리에 따라 달라지며 상관성을 보이지 않았으므로 묘소질을 판단하는데 이용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
