Abstract

In recent years, fine and yellow dust pollution has become serious in Korea and has negatively affected crop production. Particulate matter (PM) adheres to greenhouse coverings, and it reduces the amount of solar radiation transmitted into a greenhouse. A reduction in light transmittance can have a direct effect on crop photosynthesis and an indirect effect on air temperature in a greenhouse, which can lead to differences in crop yield. The objectives of this study were to investigate the changes in light transmittance of different cover materials by PM and to determine the changes in cucumber growth in a greenhouse due to reduced light transmittance. We measured the changes in light transmittance of polyethylene (PE) and polyolefin (PO) films in the PM generation chambers. Also, cucumber plants were cultivated in a greenhouse with four different light reduction treatments (0, 10, 20, and 30% reduction of light transmittance). The initial light transmittance of PO film was higher than that of PE film and the decrease in light transmittance of PO film due to PM was less than that of PE film. The vegetative growth of cucumber was promoted under the reduced light transmittance treatments; however, the yield of cucumber was highest in the control (0% reduction of light transmittance). From the results, we confirmed that PO film was less PM adhesion and that cucumber yield during the spring season can be reduced by the reduction in light transmittance due to PM.

시설 재배 시, 미세먼지의 잦은 발생은 피복재의 광투과율을 감소시키고 이는 작물의 생육에 간접적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 미세먼지 발생에 따른 폴리에틸렌(PE)과 폴리올레핀(PO) 필름의 광투과율 변화를 조사하고, 피복재의 광투과율 감소에 따른 봄철 재배 오이의 생육 변화를 확인하였다. 미세먼지 발생 챔버를 이용하여 PE와 PO 필름을 지속적으로 미세먼지에 노출시켰을 때, PE 필름에서 미세먼지 발생에 의한 광투과율 감소가 PO 필름보다 크게 나타났다. PE 필름에 인위적으로 먼지를 부착시켜서 대조구 대비 10, 20 및 30% 광투과율 감소 처리구를 설정한 후 오이를 재배하였을 때, 3월 말 이후 재배 후반기에서의 오이 생육은 광투과율 감소 처리구에서 증가하였으나, 누적 수확량은 대조구에서 가장 높았다. 봄철 오이 재배에서 미세먼지 발생에 의한 광투과율 감소는 3월 말 이후 시설 내 고온 노출에 의한 생육 지연을 줄일 수 있었으나, 전 생육 기간 동안의 광투과율 감소는 입사광량의 감소 및 광합성의 저하로 오이의 총 수확량을 감소시켰다.
