Abstract

Investigation of the optimum levels of pre-plant nitrogen for raising of hot pepper (cv. Nokkwang) plug seedlings was the objective of this research. To achieve this, the pre-plant nitrogen levels were varied to 0, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1,000, and 1,500 mg·L^-1 and the other essential nutrients were controlled to equal concentrations in all treatments. All the fertilizers were added during the formulation of the mixed medium of coir dust, peatmoss, and perlite with the ratio of 35, 35, and 30% (v/v/v). The root medium containing pre-plant fertilizer was packed into 50-cell plug trays and seeds were sown. The measurement of pH and EC in every week, soil solution analysis for nutrients in week 0, 3, and 7 and growth measurements as well as tissue analysis for nutrient contents in week 7 were conducted. The pHs measured before seed sowing did not show significant differences, but the differences among treatments became significant as seedlings grow bigger. The soil solution ECs were significantly different among treatments in week 0 and these differences were diminished by degrees after week 3, resulting in no significant differences among treatments in week 7. The trends in changes of NH₄-N, NO₃-N, and other the macro-element concentrations in soil solution of root media were similar to those of ECs. The treatments of 500 and 750 mg·L^-1 N were more effective than other treatments on seedling growth. The seedling growths in the treatments containing higher N than 1,000 mg·L^-1 and control were severely suppressed. The elevated pre-plant N concentrations in the root medium resulted in the increase of tissue N contents. The treatments of 500 and 750 mg·L^-1 N shown the highest seedling growths had 5.13% and 5.31%, respectively, in tissue N contents based on the dry weight of above ground tissue at week 7. The results of this study indicated that the optimum level of pre-plant N is 500 to 750 mg·L^-1 for the raising of hot pepper plug seedlings.

상토에 기비로 혼합된 질소 시비수준 차이가 ‘녹광’ 고추의 플러그 묘 생장에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위해 본 연구를 수행하였다. 코이어더스트, 피트모스 그리고 펄라이트를 용적기준 35, 35 및 30%로 혼합한 상토를 조제할 때 질소를 0, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1,000 및 1,500mg·L^-1로 농도를 조절하여 첨가하였고, 질소를 제외 한 필수원소는 모든 처리에서 동일한 농도로 조절하였다. 비료를 포함한 상토를 50-cell 트레이에 충진한 후 종자 를 파종하였다. 파종 후 매주 pH와 EC 측정, 파종 0, 3 및 7 주 후 상토의 다량원소 농도 분석, 그리고 파종 7 주 후에 지상부 생장 조사와 식물체 무기원소 함량을 분석하였다. 파종 전 상토의 pH는 질소수준별 차이가 크지 않았지만 육묘기간이 길어질수록 처리간 차이가 커 지는 경향이었다. 상토의 EC는 파종 전 질소 시비수준 별 뚜렷한 차이를 보였지만, 파종 4주 이후부터 처리간 차이가 적어졌고, 7주 후에는 모든 처리에서 유사한 수 준으로 측정되었다. 상토 추출용액의 NH₄-N 및 NO₃-N 농도는 EC와 유사한 경향을 보이며 낮아졌고, 다량원소 농도 역시 파종 3주 이후에 감소폭이 더 커졌다. 파종 후 7주 후 조사한 고추 유묘의 지상부 생장은 500 및 750mg·L^-1 처리구에서 우수하였으며, 1,000mg·L^-1 이상의 처리구에서는 질소 무시비구와 비슷한 수준으로 생장이 저조하였다. 파종 7주 후 분석한 식물체내 N 함량은 질 소 시비수준이 높아질수록 직선적으로 증가하였으며, 지 상부 생장이 우수하였던 500 및 750mg·L^-1 시비구가 각 각 5.13 및 5.31%로 분석되었다. 이상의 결과를 고려하 였을 때 고추의 유묘 생장을 위해서는 기비로서의 질소 시비수준을 500 또는 750mg·L^-1으로 조절하는 것이 바 람직하며, 건물중에 기초한 N 함량이 5.1~5.3% 수준으 로 시비농도를 조절하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단하였다.
