Abstract
This study was performed in order to explore the growth characteristics by growing stage in the containerized seedling and the bare root seedling of Chamaecyparis obtusa Sieb. et Zucc., which is the major plantation species of Korean southland. The height growth of 1-year-old bare root seedlings was better than containerized seedlings, which grew in the containers with capacity of 31.2 mL and 300 mL. The root collar diameter growth was the best in the containerized seedlings of container with 300 mL. The 2-year-old bare root seedlings were surveyed to be better in the height and root collar diameter growth than the containerized seedlings of container with 300 mL. In the comparison of dry mass production, it was the highest in 32 mL containerized seedlings as for 1-year-old above ground and in 300 mL containerized seedlings as for below-ground and total dry mass production. In case of 2-year-old seedlings, it was indicated to be high in bare root seedling as for the part above ground and in dry mass production of the containerized seedling as for the part below ground. In the comparison on root morphological traits of seedlings such as the total root length, the root project area, the root surface area, the average diameter in root, and the root volume, all of 1 and 2-year -old containerized seedlings showed the higher growth than the bare root seedlings except the average diameter in root. Synthesizing the results of this experiment, the containerized seedlings are relatively excellent in root development compared to bare root seedlings in the process of producing seedlings of C. obtusa, thereby being judged to have grown into excellent seedlings.
본 연구는 우리나라 남부지방의 주요 조림수종인 편백(Chamaecyparis obtusa Sieb. et Zucc.) 노지묘와 용기묘의 생육단계별 생장특성을 탐구하고자 수행되었다. 1년생 노지묘의 간장생장은 용적이 31.2 mL와 300 mL 용기에서 생장한 용기묘 보다 좋았으며, 근원경 생장은 300 mL 용기의 용기묘가 가장 좋았다. 2년생 노지묘는 300 mL 용기의 용기묘보다 간장 및 근원경생장이 양호한 것으로 조사되었다. 건물생산량 비교에서, 1년생 지상부는 32 mL 용기묘가, 지하부 및 전체 건물생산량은 300 mL 용기묘가 가장 높았다. 2년생의 경우는 지상부는 노지묘가, 지하부는 용기묘의 건물생산량이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 뿌리전체길이, 뿌리투영단면적, 뿌리표면적, 뿌리평균직경, 뿌리부피 등 묘목의 뿌리형태 특성 비교에서, 1, 2년생 용기묘 모두 뿌리평균직경을 제외하고는 노지묘보다 더 높은 생장을 보였다. 본 실험의 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 편백 묘목생산과정에서 용기묘가 노지묘에 비해 상대적으로 뿌리발달이 뛰어난 묘목으로 생장한 것으로 판단된다.
