Abstract

This research was conducted to evaluate the influence of $NO_3{^-}:NH_4{^+}$ ratios in fertilizer solution on the vegetative growth and fruit yield of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) through pot cultivation. The Hoaglad's solution was modified to contain various $NO_3{^-}:NH_4{^+}$ ratios such as 100:0 (A), 73:37 (B), 50:50 (C), 27:73 (D), 0:100 (E), and no nitrogen (F). Plants were transplanted into root substrates and the modified solutions were applied as plant needed in plastic house. There were no statistical significances among the treatments from A through D in the fresh and dry weights, and number of leaves 31 days after transplanting, but elevation of $NH_4{^+}$ ratios in the solution decreased the fresh fruit weight 62 days after transplanting with statistical differences. In the results of inorganic element analysis based on the dry weight of fully expanded mature leaves, N and P contents as well as micro cations such as Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu increased as $NH_4{^+}$ ratios were elevated 62 days after transplanting. However, those of macro cations such as K, Ca, and Mg resulted in decreasing tendency. The elevation of $NH_4{^+}$ ratios in fertilizer solution resulted in the increase of EC and total N concentrations ($NO_3{^-}+NH_4{^+}$), but this decreased the pH as well as Ca and Mg concentrations in soil solution 62 days after transplanting. The K concentration in soil solution was the highest in the treatments of C and followed by D, B, E, and A. The above results indicate that the proper $NO_3{^-}:NH_4{^+}$ ratio in the nutrient solution is 73:27 (B) or 100:0 (A) and the B solution is proper for the vegetative growth and that of A is proper for reproductive growth stage.

시설하우스 내에서 포트재배 할 때 관비용액의 $NO_3{^-}:NH_4{^+}$ 비율이 고추(Capsicum annuum L.)의 지상부 생장과 수량에 미치는 영향을 구명함으로써 고추 재배를 위한 시비 프로그램 확립의 기초 자료를 확보하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위하여 $NO_3{^-}:NH_4{^+}$ 비율을 0:100(A), 27:73(B), 50:50(C), 73:27(D), 100:0(E)을 조절한 처리를 만들고, 무시비구(F)를 대조구로 삼아 총 6처리를 두어 실험하였다. 포트재배에서 정식 62일 후 생체중, 건물중 및 엽수는 $NH_4{^+}$를 100% 시비한 E 처리에서 감소하였으나 A, B, C 및 D 처리간에는 통계적 차이가 인정되지 않았다. 그러나 착과수는 A와 B에서, 생과중은 A에서 많거나 무거웠으며 C, D, E 처리 순으로 유의성 있게 감소하였다. 정식 62일 후 건물중을 기초로 한 고추 잎의 무기원소 함량을 분석한 결과 $NH_4{^+}$ 시비비율이 높을수록 식물체 N 및 P 함량이 증가하였다. 반면 $NH_4{^+}$ 비율이 높을수록 양이온인 K, Ca, Ng의 식물체 함량이 감소하였다. 그러나 미량원소 중 양이온인 Fe, Mn, Zn 및 Cu의 식물체내 함량이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 정식 62일 후 상토를 분석한 결과 $NH_4{^+}$ 비율이 높아질수록 EC는 상승하고 pH가 낮아졌다. $NH_4{^+}$ 비율이 높아질수록 근권부의 총 질소 농도가 높아지는 경향을 보였지만 처리간 차이가 뚜렷하지 않았고, $Ca^{{+}{+}}$$Mg^{{+}{+}}$ 농도가 유의하게 낮아졌다. 이상의 결과를 고려할 때 시설하우스내 포트 재배에서 고추의 생산량 증가를 위한 관비용액의 적정 $NO_3{^-}:NH_4{^+}$ 비율은 73:27(B) 또는 100:0(A)이며, 영양생장을 위해서는 B, 생식생장을 위해서는 A와 유사하게 $NO_3{^-}:NH_4{^+}$ 비율을 조절하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단하였다.
