밀폐형 식물생산시스템에서 백색 LED를 이용한 광도와 광주기에 따른 상추의 생장

Growth of Lettuce in Closed-Type Plant Production System as Affected by Light Intensity and Photoperiod under Influence of White LED Light

본 실험은 식물공장시스템에서 인공광원인 백색 LED의 광도와 광주기에 따른 '선홍적축면'의 생육조건을 구명하고자 수행하였다. 그리고 각각의 챔버에 백색 LED를 설치 후 완전임의배치법으로 $20cm{\times}20cm$ 간격으로 재식하였다. 광도는 100, 200, $300{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$로 처리하였고, 광주기는 12/12, 18/6, 24/0(명기/암기)으로 처리하였다. 온도는 $21{\pm}2^{\circ}C$, 상대습도는 $60{\pm}10%$로 조절하여 22일간 재배하였다. 엽폭과 엽장, 생체중과 건물중, 총 안토시아닌 함량은 24/0(명기/암기) 처리에서 좋았다. 최대근장, 생체중과 건물중, 엽수는 100, $300{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$보다 $200{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ 처리에서 좋았다. 엽록소는 광주기 18/6과 24/0 처리 보다 12/12(명기/암기) 처리에서 높았다. 본 실험의 결과로 광도는 200, $300{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, 광주기는 12/12 또는 18/6(명기/암기) 처리를 하는 것이 좋을 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of light intensity and photoperiod of white LEDs as the artificial light source on the growth of leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) 'Seonhong Jeokchukmyeon' in a closed-type plant production system. Seedlings, transplanted at a density of $20cm{\times}20cm$ in a completely randomized design, were grown under white LEDs (FC Poibe Co. Ltd., Korea), at one of the 3 light intensities (100, 200, or $300{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$), and each with one of 3 photoperiods [12/12, 18/6, or 24/0 (Light/Dark)]. Plants were cultured for 22 days under the condition of $21{\pm}2^{\circ}C$, $60{\pm}10%$ RH, and $400{\pm}50{\mu}mol{\cdot}mol^{-1}\;CO_2$. The greatest leaf length and width, fresh and dry weights, and total anthocyanin content were obtained in the 24/0 photoperiod, regardless of the light intensity. Length of the longest root, fresh and dry weights, and number of leaves were greater in light intensity of $200{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ than 100 or $300{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$. Chlorophyll value was the greatest in the photoperiod 12/12 than 18/6 or 24/0. The results obtained suggest that plant grew the best kept by light intensity at 200 or $300{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, and photoperiod of 12/12 or 18/6.
