Abstract

Onions are a representative produce that requires supply-demand control measures due to large fluctuations in production and price by growing season. Accurate forecasts of crop production can improve the effectiveness of such measures. However, it is challenging to obtain accurate estimates of crop productivity for onions because they are mainly grown on the open fields. The objective of this study was to perform the empirical analysis of the relationship between factors for crop growth and meteorological conditions, which can support the development of models to predict crop growth and production. The growth survey data were collected from open fields. The survey data included the weight of above ground organs as well as that of the bulbs. The estimates of meteorological data were also compiled for the given fields. Correlation analysis between these factors was performed. The random forest was also used to compare the importance of the meteorological factors by the growth stage. Our results indicated that insolation in early March had a positive effect on the growth of the above-ground. There was a negative correlation between precipitation and the growth of the above-ground at the end of March although it has been suggested that drought can deter the growth of onion. The negative effects of precipitation and daylight hours on the growth of the above-ground and under-ground were significant during the harvest period. These meteorological factors identified by growth stage can be used to develop models for onion growth and production forecast.

양파는 생산량 변동에 따른 가격 변화폭이 커 수급조절 대책이 필요한 대표적인 농산물로 대책의 실효성 증대를 위해서는 정확한 생산량 예측이 요구된다. 양파는 주로 노지에서 재배되기 때문에 기상변화로 인해 생산량의 정확한 추정이 어렵다. 많은 선행연구가 다양하게 시도되었지만 신뢰도 높은 분석결과를 도출하기 위한 양질의 생육 실측자료가 부족한 실정이었다. 선행연구는 기상여건을 통제한 실험설계를 통해 얻어낸 자료를 분석하거나 기상자료와 생육자료 간 지역적 범위가 동일하지 않는 연구가 대다수여서 생육요인과 기상요인 간의 관계를 명확하게 규명하기에는 한계가 있었다. 본 연구는 자연적으로 노출된 환경에서 수집한 생육 실측조사 자료와 함께 실측 대상 지역의 추정 기상자료를 사용하여 생육요인과 기상요인 간 관계를 실증적으로 분석하였다. 양파의 생산량은 구중으로 결정되지만 지상부 생육상황에 따라 구의 생장이 부진할 수 있기 때문에 본 연구에서는 구중뿐만 아니라 지상부 생장과 어떤 기상요인이 중요한지 탐색하였다. 시기별로 생육요인과 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계를 갖는 기상요인을 탐색한 후, 랜덤 포레스트 기법을 이용하여 요인들의 영향력 및 중요도를 분석하였다. 주목할만한 결과로 3월 초에는 일사량이 지상부 생육에 긍정적인 영향을 주었으며, 3월 말에는 강수량과 지상부 생장 간 음의 상관관계에 있어 가뭄에 의한 피해를 언급한 기존 문헌과 상이하였다. 또한 수확기에는 강수량과 일조시간이 지상부와 지하부 생육에 미치는 영향이 유의하게 반대로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 밝혀낸 생육시기별 중요 기상요인은 양파의 생육모형과 생산량 예측모형 개발 연구를 위한 기초자료로 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
