Abstract

In order to use Osmia cornifrons more effectively in apples, we investigated the pollination effect and nesting activity of O. cornifrons on 'Hongro', the middle-season cultivar, and 'Fuji', the late-season cultivar. There was a significant difference in the nesting activity and pollination effect of O. cornifrons depending on the apple cultivar. The nesting activity, rate of trap nesting, and reproduction in 'Fuji' were 2.5, 1.5, and 3.8 times greater than in 'Hongro', respectively. The pollination effect according to cultivar 'Fuji' was 1.6 times greater than that of 'Hongro' in the central fruit set. In terms of the quality of fruit, the asymmetry index of 'Fuji' was 2.5 times lower than that of 'Hongro', and the number of apple seeds of 'Fuji' was 1.9 times greater than that of 'Hongro'. The main reason for this result was the air temperature. The activity of O. cornifrons was most affected by air temperature (R2 = 0.578). It is expected that the nesting activity and pollination effect are great in 'Fuji' (17.4-24.1℃) when the temperature during the blooming period is higher than that of 'Hongro' (12.5-20.2℃). Our study provides important information on stable apple production for apple cultivators, and can be used as an evidence for changes in flora and insect fauna caused by climate change.

머리뿔가위벌을 사과에 더욱 효과적으로 사용하기 위하여 중생종 '홍로'와 만생종 '후지'에서 머리뿔가위벌의 영소활동과 화분매개효과를 조사하였다. 그 결과, '후지'에서의 영소활동이 '홍로'보다 2.5배 많았다. 영소율과 증식률에서 '후지'가 '홍로' 보다 각각 1.5배, 3.8배 높았다. 품종에 따른 화분매개효과를 조사한 결과, 중심화결실률에서 '후지'가 '홍로'보다 1.6배 높았다. 과실의 품질에서 사축과율은 '후지'가 '홍로'보다 2.5배 낮았고, 사과종자의 수는 1.9배 많았다. 이에 대한 원인을 밝히기 위해 개화기 기상환경과 머리뿔가위벌의 활동량에 대한 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 머리뿔가위벌의 활동에 영향을 미치는 주된 요소는 온도로 나타났다 (R2 = 0.578). '후지'(평균 17.4 ~ 최고 24.1℃)의 개화기 기온은 '홍로'(평균 12.5 ~ 최고 20.2℃)보다 4 ~ 5℃ 높았기 때문에 '후지'에서 영소활동과 화분매개효과가 '홍로'보다 큰 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 조생종 '홍로'에서는 머리뿔가위벌보다 기상환경에 영향을 적게받는 뒤영벌과 같은 화분매개곤충을 사용하는 것이 권장되며, 만생종 '후지'에서는 머리뿔가위벌의 사용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 사과 재배 농가에게 사과의 안정적인 생산을 위한 중요한 정보로 사용될 수 있다. 아울러 기후변화에 인하여 머리뿔가위벌의 화분매개활동이나 증식률이 변할 수 있다는 결론은 식생과 곤충상에 변화에 대한 근거로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.
