A new passive nutrient supplying system (PNS) was designed. The experiment was conducted to compare PNS with automatic hydroponic system (AHS) by investigating the growth characteristics of muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) in spring and summer. No significant differences in growth characteristics of leaf area and shoot dry weight were observed between PNS and AHS. However, better netting of melon fruit was shown in PNS. Sugar content of melon fruit was also $1.0-2.0Brix^{\circ}$ higher in PNS than in AHS. The suitable substrate for melon culture with PNS was the mixture of perlite 70% and rice hull 30%. These results suggested that new PNS could be introduced to growers without any loss of fruit yield and quality of muskmelon.

최근 밀(Triticum aestivum L.) 소비량이 꾸준히 증가하고 있어 국내 밀 자급률 증대를 위한 노력이 필요하다. 그러나 우리나라는 작물을 재배할 수 있는 농경지가 한정되어 있어 벼 수확 후 휴경 논을 이용하여 겨울철에 밀을 재배하거나, 하계 소득 작물과 연계하여 겨울철에 밀을 생산할 수 있는 방안을 모색할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 남부지역 평야지 논을 이용하여 밭작물 중심 다모작 작부체계를 제시함과 동시에 밀을 재배하여 생육 특성과 수확량 변화를 살펴보았다. 단위면적당 수수 및 종실 수량은 작부이력에 밭작물이 포함된 다년 다모작 작형(들깨-IRG-참깨-밀, 콩-IRG-참깨-밀)이 다년 벼-밀 이모작이나 벼-IRG-참깨-밀 다모작에 비해 많았으며, 특히 들깨와 콩이 포함된 작부체계에서 많았다. 밀 품종 간 비교에서는 금강밀이 조경밀에 비해 출수기와 성숙기가 2~3일 빨랐지만 종실 수량은 100 kg/10a 이상 적어, 동일한 환경조건에서 조경밀이 금강밀에 비해 곡물 생산성 측면에서 유리할 것으로 보인다. 더군다나 조경밀은 조숙 다수성 경질밀로 전국에 재배가 가능하고, 단백질 함량이 높고 강력분의 특성을 보여 제빵용으로 많이 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서 조경밀은 단백질이 10% 이하로 낮고 아밀로스는 28.4%로 높은데 반해, 금강밀은 단백질이 11.0%로 높고 아밀로스는 26.6%로 낮아 제과·제빵에 있어서, 금강밀이 좀 더 유용할 것으로 보인다. 밀가루의 Falling number는 조경밀과 금강밀 모두 350초 이상으로 높아 수발아로 인해 전분의 분해가 일어나지 않은 건전한 상태의 곡립임을 알 수 있다. 그리고 gluten 함량도 조경밀과 금강밀 모두 유사하게 높았으며, gluten 지수는 금강밀이 좀 더 높았다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 밀 수확량을 증가시키기 위해서는 기존의 벼-밀 이모작 보다 들깨-IRG-참깨-밀이나 콩-IRG-참깨-밀 등의 다년 다모작 작형이 좀 더 유리할 것으로 보인다.

This experiment was carried out to compare growth and fruit setting characteristics in ten winter-planted paprika (Capsicim annuum L.) cultivars. Five red line paprika cultivars ('Maduro', 'Maranello', 'Nagano', 'Sirocco' and 'Special') and five yellow line paprika cultivars ('Coletti', 'Sven', 'Thialf', 'Volante' and 'Zagato') were used for this study. The experiment was performed for 42 weeks, from winter of 2013 to autumn of 2014. Based on the growth stages of paprika, growth characteristics were investigated six times, and each investigation was categorized from group 1 through group 6. The relative internode ratio showed a normal range at the early growth stage, but tended to gradually decline as growth progressed. This trend was greater in red line paprika than in yellow line paprika. Among the cultivars used for this experiment, 'Special' and 'Zagato' showed growth inhibition, whereas 'Maranello' and 'Volante' kept a balanced growth during summer cultivation. The fruit set percentage in yellow paprika was 10.8% higher than in red paprika, while the number of branches in yellow paprika was 4.1% less than in red paprika. When measured after the full fruiting age, from June to July, the number of fruit set in group 4 was much lower in 'Sirocco' and 'Coletti' than in any of the other cultivars, indicating that they were more sensitive to the growth environment during the rainy season. These findings suggest that 'Maranello', 'Nagano', 'Sven', 'Thialf', and 'Volante' could be effectively used for summer cultivation in a high-plastic-film greenhouse, and 'Maranello', 'Special', 'Volante', and 'Zagato' could be good candidates for a low-plastic-film greenhouse.

The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of cultivation time on the incidence of brown fruit stem (BFS) in glasshouse sweet pepper (cv. Special) and to investigate environmental causes of this disorder. The plants transplanted on 31 August (T1) showed more incidence of BFS than those on 24 November (T2) (6.1% vs.2.9%; P<0.01). The BFS symptom began to appear after completion of fruit enlargement, more often around fruit coloring period. Comparing the environmental factors between T1 and T2, with their data collected for 3 weeks around fruit coloring period, the factor that was most likely responsible for BFS incidence was found to be the night-time humidity deficit (HD) ($1.9g{\cdot}m^{-3}\;vs\;2.9g{\cdot}m^{-3}HD$). These results were reconfirmed as T1 was compared to the plants (T3) that were transplanted at a similar time of the following year to T1, but designed to reduce BSF by increasing air HD via heating at night. That is,T3 had much higher night-time HD than T1 ($5.9g{\cdot}m^{-3}\;vs\;1.9g{\cdot}m^{-3}HD$), and showed no incidence of BFS. These results indicated that, to prevent BFS incidence in the winter-harvesting sweet pepper plants, air humidity at night should be controlled low, especially for the fruit coloring period after fruit enlargement period is completed.
