Abstract

With pot-grown 4-year-old 'Fuyu' persimmon trees, this study evaluated the effect of different nitrogen (N) rates during summer on fruit characteristics, changes of leaf nutrients after harvest, reserve accumulation, and early growth the following year. A total of 0, 36 g N in June, and 72 g N in June and July was fertigated to each tree using urea solution. All the fruits were harvested on Nov. 3. Although not significant, fruits were larger for the 36 g and 72 g N than the 0 g N. Fruits for the 0 g N, having lower N concentration, were softer and had a better coloration and higher soluble solids, indicating that they matured earlier. SPAD value on Nov. 3 was 19.2 for the 0 g N and 54.9 for the 72 g N, and then the values linearly decreased in all the treatments by Nov. 14, exhibiting rapid leaf senescence. Specific leaf weight, being the lowest for the 0 g N, also gradually decreased during this period. Increasing N level significantly increased cross-sectional area of the trunk. Leaf N concentration on Nov. 3 was 0.87% for the 0 g N, whereas it was 1.18 and 1.52% for the 36 g and 72 g N, respectively. The N fertigation tended to increase leaf concentrations of soluble sugars, starch, and amino acids. Contents of N, P, K, soluble sugars, starch, and amino acids per unit leaf area gradually decreased in all the treatments during the 11 days after harvest, and the extent of the decrease was the lowest for the 0 g N. On the other hand, those of Ca, Mg, and protein did not consistently change during this period. The N fertigation resulted in higher concentrations of N in dormant shoots on Nov. 14, and although not great, it also increased soluble sugars, starch, amino acids, and protein. Clear differences were found in number of flower buds per one-year-old branch and total shoot length per tree the following year. The 72 g N trees had 5.6-fold more flower buds and 1.9-fold more shoot length, compared with those of 0 g N trees. However, it was noted that tree growth the following year was not significantly different between the 36 g and 72 g N the previous year. It was concluded that N rate during summer should be adjusted with considering the changes of fruit maturation, mobilization of leaf nutrients, and reserve accumulation.

본 연구는 여름 N 시비가 4년생 용기재배 유목의 과실특성, 수확 후 잎의 양분 변화, 저장양분의 축적 및 이듬해 초기 생장에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 수행되었다. 시비는 요소를 사용하여 N을 주당 0g(무시비구), 6월 36g 또는 6-7월 72g씩 관주하여 처리하였다. 11월 3일에 모든 과실을 수확하였는데, 유의적인 차이는 없었지만 시비구의 과실이 큰 경향이었다. 무시비구의 과실은 N 농도가 낮았으며, 과육이 무르고 색도와 당도는 높아 성숙이 빨랐음을 나타내었다. 잎의 SPAD 값은 11월 3일에 무시비구에서 19.2로 가장 낮고 72g 시비구는 54.9로 가장 높았으며, 11월 14일까지 모든 처리구에서 직선적으로 감소하여 이 기간에 잎의 노화속도가 빨랐음을 알 수 있었다. 비엽중은 무시비구에서 가장 낮았고 모든 처리구에서 수확 후 점진적으로 감소하였다. 11월 3일에 채취한 잎의 N은 무시비구에서 0.87%였으나 36g 시비구는 1.18%, 72g 시비구는 1.52% 증가하여 시비량의 효과가 뚜렷하였다. 잎의 가용성당, 전분, 아미노산 농도는 무시비구보다 시비구에서 높은 경향이었다. 수확 후 11일 동안 잎의 단위면적당 N, P, K, 가용성당, 전분, 아미노산 함량이 점진적으로 감소하였으며 감소량은 무시비구에서 가장 적었다. 그러나 잎의 Ca와 Mg, 단백질 함량은 일관된 변화를 보이지 않았다. 11월 14일에 채취한 휴면가지의 N농도는 무시비구보다 시비구에서 유의적으로 높고 가용성당, 전분, 아미노산, 단백질 농도도 시비구에서 높은 경향이었다. 시비량이 많을수록 처리 당년의 주간단면적은 유의적으로 증가하였다. 처리 이듬해 1년생 가지당 착뢰수는 무시비구에 비해 시비구에서 5배 이상 많았으며, 72g 시비구의 총신초장은 무시비구의 1.9배에 달하였으나 시비구간에는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 그러므로 여름 N 시비량은 과실의 성숙, 잎의 양분 이동 및 저장양분 축적 변화 등 고려하여 조절해야 할 것으로 판단되었다.
