Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the ideal beginning date of plastic house optimum heating for off-season (December) production of asparagus. To achieve this, the 1.6-year-old 'Green tower' asparagus was cultivated in Jeju area ($33^{\circ}$28.110N, $126^{\circ}$31.076E) and the yield and quality among 7 different beginning dates of heating from Oct. 25 to Jan. 20 with 15-days interval were compared. The heating was controlled to maintain the inside temperature was higher than $20^{\circ}C$, But the plastic house was ventilated when the inside temperature rose to $30^{\circ}C$. Days to sprouting took longer as heating dates were delayed. Days to sprouting took 52 days in heating at December 30, and the days were shortened thereafter. As the beginning of heating was delayed, sprouting of asparagus was retarded. Among treatments, days to sprouting was 52 days and longest when the heating began on December 30. When the heating began on October 25, harvest was earliest and started on 7 November. When the heating began on November 15 and 30, harvest started on November 30 and December 18, respectively. Harvesting started on November 7 for October 25 heating, November 30 for Nov. 15 heating, and December 18 for November 30 heating, respectively. When the heating began was done after December. 15, harvesting was possible after early January. The number of spear, spear weight and yield were highly increased in the treatments of heating after January. 10 when the asparagus dormancy was broken. In the case of heating dates were before the asparagus dormancy breaking, the total yield was highest in November 15 heating with 607 kg/10a. The marketable yield of November 15 heating was 386kg/10a, which was twice higher than the 193 kg/10a of October 25 heating. Accordingly, it is recommended to start heating on November 15 for the production of off-season (December) asparagus in Jeju. Therefore, the optimum heating date to start was November 15 for the improvement of quality and yield of off-season (December) asparagus in Jeju area.

국내 아스파라거스 생산의 단경기인 12월 생산을 위한 가온시기를 구명코자 수행하였으며 '그린타워' 품종 16~19개월 된 근주를 사용하였다. 가온시기는 2004년 10월 25일부터 2005년 1월 20일 까지 15일 간격으로 7처리로 하였으며 수확시기, 수확량과 품질을 비교하였다. 맹아소요일은 가온시기가 늦어짐에 따라 길어져 12월 30일 가온구에서 52일 로 가장 길게 소요되었으며 이후 점차 짧아졌다. 10월 25일 가온시 11월 7일부터 수확이 가능하였으며, 11월 15일과 11월 30일에 가온할 경우 각각 12월 수확이 가능하였고, 12월 15일 이후 가온 할 경우 1월 상순 이후에 수확이 가능하였다. 주당 순수, 순중 및 총 수량은 휴면이 타파된 1월 10일 이후에 가온하는 처리에서 크게 증가되었다. 그러나 12월 수확을 위해서는 11월 15일에 가온 하는 것이 총수량 및 상품수량에서 각각 607kg/10a와 386kg/10a으로 10월 25일 가온하는 193kg/10a에 비하여 크게 증가되었다. 이상의 결과 제주에서 하우스 재배시 12월 생산을 위한 적정 가온시기는 수량과 품질면에서 11월 15일이 바람직할 것으로 판단되었다.
