Abstract

Rare earth elements fertilizer and Ca were sprayed on eight-year-old 'Fuji'/M.9 apple trees during two consecutive seasons, and fruit quality was quantified at harvest and 5-month long storing in a commercial cooling house at $4^{\circ}C$ and 80~85% RH. In the first season, single-sprayed of rare earth elements fertilizer showed appreciable accumulations of its elements (La, Pr, Gd, and Nd) in the fruit. In the following season, application of higher doses accumulated higher amount, indicating that the accumulation of rare earth elements was dose-dependent. However, rare earth elements did not affect the accumulations of Ca, Mg, and K in 'Fuji' apple fruit showed that there was no interaction between rare earth elements and these macronutrients. Double-spray of 0.2% rare earth elements increased fruit redness at harvest and had exhibited better color. Although at harvest it did not show significant effects on fruit weight, pulp firmness and titratable acidity (TA), but had pronounced effects on inhibiting fruit softness and retarded decrease of TA during storing. Furthermore, it reduced respiration rate and inhibited ethylene production during storing indicated that rare earth elements may be an alternative for prolonging the shelf life of 'Fuji'/M.9 apple fruit.

본 연구는 희토류비료 시비가 8년생 '후지'/M.9 사과의 미량원소 변화 및 사과의 수확 품질과 5개월간 4 저장 후 과실 품질에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 수행하였다. 1년차 희토류 비료의 시비는 '후지' 사과 과실내 란타늄, 프라세오디뮴, 가돌리늄 및 네오디뮴을 축적하였다. 또한 2년차 연구에서 높은 농도의 희토류비료 시비는 보다 많은 량의 희토류 성분을 과실에 축적하여 과실내 희토류의 축적은 희토류비료의 시비량에 비례하였다. 이러한 희토류비료의 시비는 과실내의 다른 미량원소인 칼슘, 마그네슘과 칼륨의 농도에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 희토류비료 시비에 따른 과실 품질조사에 있어, 희토류비료 0.2%의 엽면살포는 수확기 사과 과피의 붉은 색을 증가시켰으나, '후지' 과실의 과중, 경도 및 산도는 변화가 없었다. 저장 사과의 희토류비료 시비효과를 조사한 결과, 희토류비료 처리된 사과의 경우 무처리에 비해 5개월 저장 후 과실의 연화 및 적정산도의 감소를 지연시키며, 호흡률과 에틸렌발생을 감소시켰다.
