Abstract

This experiment was aimed to identify concentrations of mineral nutrients in leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa) grown on hydroball aquaponics and in the water for growing fish by conducting two experiments. The experiment I (Expt. I) was conducted with 12 fishes (F12) with and without filter, hydroball and plants (H12 (12 fishes, hydroball), FHP12 (12 fishes, filter, hydroball, 6 plants) and HP12 (12 fishes, hydroball, 6 plants)), and the experiment II (Expt. II) was with and without plants (FH15 (15 fishes, filter, hydroball), FHP15 (15 fishes, filter, hydroball, 6 plants)). The pH level in the water of all the treatments was decreased during the growing period, and the pH and EC of the water were lower in all the treatment with plants than those without plants in both Expt. I and Expt. II. When compared with adequate nutrient concentrations for hydroponics, nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations in the fish growing water were higher under the FHP15 treatment in Expt. II; however, potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) were only 16, 49, and 82% of hydroponics, representatively, and iron (Fe) was not detected. The fresh weight of lettuce harvested from the FHP15 treatment was 38 g, only a 30% of marketable lettuce yield. The T-N and P contents of the leaf tissue grown under the FHP15 treatment were close to the optimal level; however, the K, Ca, and iron (Fe) contents were less than the optimal with no deficiency symptom.

하이드로볼 배지경 아쿠아포닉스에서 상추의 엽과 수조내 무기이온 함량 변화를 구명하기 위하여 실험 1은 간이 NFT 시스템에 여과기를 장착한 후 물고기 12마리 사육한 처리구(F12)와 여과기 없이 하이드로볼 배지를 장착하고 물고기 12마리를 재배한 처리구(H12), 여과기를 장착하고 하이드로볼에 상추 모종 6주를 심고 물고기 12마리를 재배한 처리구(FHP12)와 여과기 없이 하이드로볼에 상추 6주를 심고 물고기 12마리를 재배한 처리구(HP12)로 설정하였고, 실험 2는 간이 NFT에 여과기를 장착하고 하이드로볼을 장착한 후 식물 없이 물고기 15마리 사육한 처리구(FH15)와 여과기를 장착하고 하이드로볼에 상추 6주를 심고 물고기 15마리를 사육한 처리구(FHP15)로 설정하였다. 실험 1, 2의 모든 처리구에서 재배 동안 사육수 pH가 낮아졌고 pH와 EC는 식물 재배구에서 더 낮았다. 실험 2의 FHP15 처리구의 사육수 내 무기이온 농도를 수경재배의 양액농도와 비교하였을 때 NO3-N과 P은 더 높았고 K는 16%, Ca은 49%, Mg은 82% 수준이었고 Fe는 불검출 수준이었다. FHP15 처리구에서 생산된 상추 생체중은 상품성 중량의 1/3(38g)수준이었다. 엽내 T-N과 P 함량은 적정수준에 근접하였고 K와 Fe 함량은 적정 미만이었으나 결핍증상은 없었다.
