Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the seeding quality of paprika and the growth and early yield after transplanting of paprika nursed under artificial light and natural light. In this study, blue LED, red LED, and white fluorescent lamps (FL) were used as artificial lighting sources. Photoperiod, average photosynthetic photon flux, air temperature, and relative humidity in a closed transplants production system (CTPS) were maintained at 16/8 h, $204{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, 26/$20^{\circ}C$, and 70%, respectively. Leaf length, leaf width, leaf area, top fresh weight and dry weight of paprika seedlings, and chlorophyll content in paprika leaves nursed under LED and fluorescent lamps for 21 days after experiment were significantly affected by light treatments. As compared with the control (white FL), leaf area of paprika grown under blue LED, red LED, and natural light was decreased by 63%, 63%, and 28%, respectively. Top dry weight of paprika grown under blue LED, red LED, and natural light was 64%, 50%, and 22%, respectively, compared with the control. Number of leaves on 18 days after transplanting showed with red LED, blue LED, and natural light by 86%, 84%, and 48%, respectively, compared with the control. On 114 days after transplanting, paprika nursed under blue LED and red LED had relatively short plant height. This result might be caused that the elongation of its internodes was suppressed by the illumination of sole blue or red light. Average number of fruits per plant harvested during 4 weeks after first harvest was 3.5 with red LED, 3.3 with blue LED, 1.0 with natural light, and 2.2 with control, respectively. Early yield of paprika nursed under red LED, blue LED, natural light, and control were 453 g/plant, 403 g/plant, 101 g/plant, and 273 g/plant, respectively. Larger fruit of 136 g was harvested with red LED treatment. Even though the early yield of paprika was greatly increased with artificial lighting, but total yield was almost similar as the harvest period after transplanting in greenhouses was lengthened. From the above results, we could understand that paprika nursed under white FL, blue LED, and red LED showed good growth after transplanting and was early harvested by a week as compared to the natural light. Therefore, the white FL, blue LED, and red LED as the artificial lighting sources in CTPS could be strategically used to enhance the seedling quality, to shorten the harvest time, and to increase the yield of paprika.

폐쇄형 묘생산 시스템에서 청색LED, 적색LED, 백색형광등을 인공광원으로 이용한 가운데 파프리카의 육묘시 생장 특성과 정식 후 생장 및 초기 수량을 분석하고자 본 연구가 수행되었다. 폐쇄형 시스템에서 파프리카 육묘용 환경조건은 광주기 16/8h, 평균 PPF $204{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, 기온 26/$20^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 70%이었다. 육묘 후 21일째에 백색형광등과 LED 하에서 생장된 파프리카 묘의 엽장, 엽폭, 엽면적 등 잎 관련지표뿐만 아니라 지상부 생체중과 건물중, 엽록소함량 등이 자연광 처리구에 비해서 크게 나타났다. 청색 LED, 적색LED 및 자연광 처리구에서의 엽면적은 대조구인 형광등 처리구와 비교할 때 각각 63%, 63%, 28%에 해당하였다. 또한 청색LED, 적색LED 및 자연광 처리구의 지상부 건물중은 각각 대조구의 64%, 50%, 22%로 나타났다. 정식 후 18일째에 엽수는 대조구에서 44매로 가장 크게 나타났다. 적색LED, 청색LED 및 자연광 처리구의 엽수는 대조구에 비해서 각각 86%, 81%, 48%로서 정식 시기와 비교할 때 엽수의 차이가 줄어들었다. 정식 후 114일째에 초장은 청색LED와 적색LED 처리구에서 상대적으로 작게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 단색LED 하에서 육묘된 파프리카의 줄기 신장이 정식 후에 억제된 것으로 판단된다. 초기 4주 동안 수확된 파프리카는 청색LED 3.5개/plant, 적색LED 3.3개/plant, 자연광 1.0개/plant으로서 대조구 2.2개/plant에 비해서 각각 159%, 150%, 45%로 나타났다. 초기수량은 적색LED 453g/plant, 청색LED 403g/plant, 자연광 101g/plant으로서 대조구 273g/plant와 비교할 때 각각 166%, 148%, 37%로 나타났다. 한편 적색LED 처리구에서의 평균 중량은 136g으로서 다른 처리구와 비교할 때 상대적으로 큰 과실이 생산되었다. 한편 정식 후 온실에서의 재배기간이 길어짐에 따라 인공광 처리구와 자연광 처리구에서 수량 차이가 없었다. 이러한 결과를 종합하면 LED 또는 형광등을 인공광원으로 이용한 조건에서 육묘된 파프리카의 정식 후 초기 생육이 양호하였으며, 초기 수확이 자연광 처리구에 비해서 1주 정도 빠르게 이루어졌음을 알 수 있다. 따라서 LED 또는 형광등과 같은 인공광원이 파프리카 육묘에 이용될 경우 묘소질의 향상, 조기 수확 및 초기 수량의 증대가 기대된다.
