Experiment was performed in a newly developed wind tunnel with light system to determine the aerodynamic resistance and eddy diffusivity above the plug stand under artificial light. Maximum air temperature appeared near the top of the plug stand under artificial light. Since Richardson number was ranged from -0.07 to +0.01, the atmosphere above the plug stand in wind tunnel was in an unstable or near- neutral stability state. The average aerodynamic resistance at rear region of plug stand was 25 % higher than that at middle region. Eddy diffusivity($K_{M}$) linearly increased with the increasing air current speed. $K_{M}$ at air current speed of 0.9 m.$s^{-1}$ was about two times as many as that at air current speed of 0.3 m.$s^{-1}$. And average $K_{M}$ at the rear region was 15% lower than that at the middle region. These results indicated that the diffusion of heat and mass along the direction of air current inside the plug stand was different. It might cause the lack of uniformity in the growth and quality of plug seedlings. The wind tunnel developed in this study would be useful to investigate the effects of air current speed on microclimates and the growth of plug seedlings under artificial light in a semi- closed ecosystem.

플러그묘의 보급이 확산되어지면서 이의 효과적인 생산에 대한 인식이 높아지고 있다. 그러나 대량 생산을 위해 셀 수가 많은 트레이에 종자를 파종할 경우 시간의 경과에 따라 작물은 도장하게 된다는 점이 문제로 나타난다. 묘의 도장방지를 위해서는 개체간 충분한 공간을 두어 육묘하는 것이 좋지만 이 경우 생산비가 증가하게 된다. 이에 대한 공정육묘상의 생육조절방안으로는 상토내 수분ㆍ양분 조절, 주야간 온도차이(Lim등, 1997), 자외선 이용(Inamoto 등, 195), 생장조절제 이용(Gilbertz, 1992; Kacia, 1997) 방법 등이 보고되고 있다.

Acclimatization after grafting and graft-take that in order to produce plug seedlings of high-quality are important plug seedling stage which not reduce the plug seedlings quality before shipment. Appropriate acclimatization environment can not only increase seedling quality before secondary growth period, but also effective in promoting the growth of plug seedlings. This study was conducted to determine the optimal the shading period and shading level for acclimatization of tomato and pepper grafted plug seedlings after graft-take. The tomato and pepper seedlings were used in this experiment, and after graft-take, a tunnel was installed on a bed in glasshouse of venlo type to started shading treatment. The shading levels were 35, 55, 75 and 95%, and the shading periods were 1 and 2 weeks, and non-treatment was set as the control. In the case of tomato grafted plug seedling, plant height, stem diameter, dry weight of root, leaf area were significantly higher at the shading period of 1 week and the shading level was 55%. In the case of pepper grafted plug seedling, plant height, stem diameter, and leaf area were the highest in the shading period of 2 weeks and the shading level was 35%. However, dry weight of root, compactness, and T/R ratio, which seedling quality indicators, were lower than in the shading period of 1 week and the shading level 55%. Therefore, considering the quality of seedlings, it is suggested that shading period of 1 week with shading level of 55% treatment can be suitable to produce high quality grafted plug seedlings of tomato and pepper.

A wind tunnel consisting of two air flow conditioners with polycarbonate pipes, a plant growth room, a suction fan and fan controller, and fluorescent lamps, was designed to investigate the interactions between the growth of plug seedlings under artificial light and their Physical environments. Light transmissivities in the plant growth room based on the photosynthetic photon flux density and photosynthetically active radiation was appeared to be 96.3% and 96.8%, respectively. Measurement showed a uniformity in the vertical profiles of air current speed at the middle and rear regions of plug trays in wind tunnel. This result indicated that the development of a wind tunnel based on the design criteria of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers was adequate. Air current speed inside the plug stand was significantly decreased due to the resistance by the leaves of plug seedlings and boundary layer developed over and below the plug stand. Driving force to facilitate the diffusion of gas inside the plug stand might be regarded as extremely low. Aerodynamic characteristics above the plug stand under artificial light were investigated. As the air current speed increased, zero plane displacement decreased but roughness length and frictional velocity increased. Zero plane displacement linearly increased with the average height of plug seedlings. The wind tunnel developed in this study would be useful to investigate the effects of air current speed on the microclimate over and inside the plug stand and to collect basic data for a large-scale plug production under artificial light in a semi-closed ecosystem.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the growth of plug seedlings and yield of tomato affected by the concentration of triazole and the treatment time. The length and leaf area of tomato seed-lings were reduced by the application of triazole compared to control. Growth reduction of seedlings was greater by earlier application and higher concentration of triazole. The growth of tomato treated with hexaconazole were similar with control 4 weeks after sowing. The triazole treatment lowered the height of the first fruit set compared to control. However, triazole treatment did not affect the number of fruits and yield.

공정육묘는 기후의 영향을 쉽게 받는 자연광하에서 대부분의 생산이 이루어지기 때문에 계획적인 묘생산이 어렵게 된다. 향후 식물공장(Plant factory) 또는 폐쇄생태계생명유지시스템(Controlled ecological life support system, CELSS)과 같이 폐쇄도가 높은 식물생산 시스템에서는 식물종묘 생산의 대부분이 인공광을 이용한 조건에서 이루어질 것으로 예상된다. (중략)

Conventionally, the seeds of Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) Libosch. ex Steud. have been directly sown at the field without using the plug seedling method. Plug seedlings have the advantage of promoting germination and convenient transplanting. However, there is little information about propagation of R. glutinosa using the plug seedling method. This study was conducted to investigate the optimal seed rhizome length, diameter, and sowing direction of R. glutinosa for establishing the plug seedling method. Seed rhizome length and diameter were separated by 1, 2, 3 cm and 0.3-0.5, 0.6-1.0, 1.1-1.5 cm, respectively. And seed rhizomes were sown in vertical and horizontal directions. The survival rate in 1 cm length of seed rhizomes was lower than in other treatments. The leaf length, leaf width, number of leaves, SPAD, leaf area, and fresh and dry weights of shoot and roots were the greatest in 3 cm length of seed rhizomes. As the seed rhizome diameter decreased, the growth characteristics of R. glutinosa tended to increase. When R. glutinosa was sown horizontal direction, the leaf length, leaf width, number of leaves, and leaf area were significantly higher than in the vertical direction. In conclusion, when sowing seed rhizome in a plug tray, using a length of 3 cm, a diameter of less than 1 cm, and sowing in a horizontal direction is considered an appropriate sowing method for R. glutinosa.

우리나라의 경우 각종 장해와 주년 수요의 증가에 따른 불시재배의 증가로 인하여 저온신장성, 병해저항성 등과 같이 작물의 내성증진을 목적으로 접목묘의 이용이 급속도로 신장되고 있다. 특시 연작장해가 심한 박과형 채소류는 대부분 접목재배가 필요한 실정이다. 그러나 국내의 경우, 접목작업은 거의 수작업으로 행해지며 세밀한 조작과 숙련성 그리고 많은 노력을 필요로 한다. 따라서, 접목 생산성을 높일 수 있는 저가의 자동화 시스템 개발이 요구된다. 다양한 접목법들 중 현재 농가에서 가장 광범위하게 이용되고 있는 호접은 삽접 및 절단접에 비하여 자동화가 어렵고 활착 후 절단작업이 부가적으로 필요하나 접목 후 순화공정이 간단하고 활착률이 높다. 본 논문에서는 호접과 삽접에 대하여 접목 후의 활착률 및 접목에 소요되는 작업시간을 비교하였고, 호접법에 의거하여 작업공정을 생력화한 육묘 자동접목 시작기를 개발하였다. 시작기는 농가조합 및 중규모 육묘장의 설비를 지향하여, 묘판 및 접목묘의 취급을 제외하고 1인 접목작업 형태의 자동화 시스템으로 개발하였다. 시작기는 크게 버퍼기능을 부착한 배치형 육묘장치부, 2세트에 공압 매니퓰레이터, 대목과 접수의 원할한 접목을 위해 설계한 특수 그리퍼, 각고 조절형 절단부, 진동형 클립공급부 그리고 자동 클립 장착장치로 구성하였다. 접목 작업시간은 대략 4ch 정도이나 작업시간의 조정이 가능하도록 하였다. 실험실에서 수행한 간이접목 시험 결과, 절단날이 대목과 접수의 접촉부위를 관통할 때 접촉면이 서로 어긋나는 경우가 발생하였으나 육묘들이 호접에 적정한 기하학적 물성 요건을 갖춘다면 80% 이상의 접목 육묘의 기하학적 물성에 따른 체계적인 접목시험이 필요하다.
