Abstract

This study was conducted to improve year round production of onion sets for pickles and increase their yield by using different cell sizes of plug trays. 'Josaeng sseondeobol' and 'Daeji' were seeded in 105-cell tray, 128-cell tray, and 162-cell tray on March 27, 2010. 'Josaeng sseondeobol' showed the maximum number of leaves on May 23, but 'Daeji' showed the maximum in late June. Bulbing of 'Josaeng sseondeobol' was already initiated on May 23, but 'Daeji' was initiated on June 6. Growth of both varieties was better in 105-cell tray than the others. There wasn't a difference in bulbing between two varieties by the number of cells, but bulb size was larger in the low number of cells than high ones. 'Josaeng sseondeobol' was all harvested in July, but more than 50% of 'Daeji' was harvested in August. The result of this study is as follows. Harvest time was delayed as the number of cells is increasing. There was a wide range of small onion sets distribution in both varieties as the number of cells is increasing.

절임용 양파자구의 주년생산 공급 및 상품수율 향상의 일환으로 셀 수가 다른 플러그 트레이에 파종하여 가능성을 타진하고자 하여 조생종인 '조생썬더볼' 품종과 중 만생종인 '대지' 품종을 2010년 3월 27일에 105공, 128공 및 162공 플러그 트레이에 파종하여 벤치에서 재배 한 결과는 다음과 같다. 조생종인 조생썬더볼 품종의 엽수는 5월 23일 조사에서 최대를 보인 후 감소하였으나 중 만생종인 대지 품종은 6월 하순에 최대를 보였다. 조생썬더볼 품종의 구 비대는 5월 23일 조사에서 이미 개시되었으나 대지 품종은 6월6일에 개시되었다. 셀 수에 따른 생육은 두 품종 공히셀 용적이 큰 105공 트레이가 128공 및 162공에 비해 좋은 경향이었다. 셀 수에 따른 구 비대 개시는 차이가 없었으나 구 비대 정도는 셀 수가 많은 것에 비해 적은 것이 큰 경향을 보였다. 자구의 수확시기별 분포는 조생썬더볼 품종은 7월에 모두 수확되었으나 대지 품종은 전체 수확량의 50% 이상이 8월에 수확 되었다. 셀 수에 따른 수확시기는 셀 수가 많을수록 늦어졌다. 수확된 자구의 크기별 분포는 두 품종 공히 셀 수가 많을수록 작은 자구의 분포가 많았다.
