Abstract

This study provides basic data on the growth and production of seedlings produced in plant factories with artificial lighting by comparing seedling quality, growth and fruit characteristics, and production after transplanting cucumber seedlings according to environmental differences between plant factories with artificial lighting and conventional nurseries in greenhouse. The control group consisted of greenhouse seedlings (GH) grown in the conventional nursery before transplanting. Plant factory to greenhouse seedlings (PG) were grown for 9 days in a plant factory with artificial lighting and for 13 days in an conventional nursery. Plant factory seedlings (PF) were grown in a plant factory with artificial lighting for 22 days until planting. In terms of seedling quality, PFs had the highest relative growth rate and compactness and the best root zone development. After transplanting PFs tended to grow faster, the first harvest date was 2 days earlier than that of GHs, and the growing season ended 1 day earlier. The female flower flowering rate of the PFs was high, and the fruit set rate was of PF the lowest. The production per unit area was highest for PFs at 10.23kg Performance index on the absorption basis, the most sensitive chlorophyll fluorescence parameter, was highest at 4.14 for PFs at 4 weeks after transplantation. By comparing the maximum quantum yield of primary PS Ⅱ photochemistry and dissipated energy flux per PS Ⅱ reaction center electron at 4 weeks after transplantation, PFs tended to be the least stressed. PFs had the best seedling quality, growth, and production after planting, and fruit quality was consistent with that of greenhouse seedlings. Therefore, plant factory seedlings can be used in the field.

본 연구는 인공광 이용형 식물공장과 공정육묘장의 환경차이에 따른 오이 모종의 묘소질, 정식 후 생육과 과실의 특성 및 생산량 비교를 통해 인공광 이용형 식물공장에서 생산된 모종의 생육과 생산량의 대한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 연구를 수행하였다. 처리구는 정식 전까지 공정육묘장에서 육묘한 Greenhouse 모종(GH)이 대조구이다. 가식전까지 인공광 이용형 식물공장에서 9일간 육묘하고, 가식 후 육묘장에서 13일간 육묘한 Plant factory to Greenhouse 모종(PG), 정식 전까지 인공광 이용형 식물공장에서 22일간 육묘한 Plant factory 모종(PF)으로 나누어 구분하였다. 묘소질에서는 PF의 상대생장률과 충실도가 가장 높았고, 근권부 발달 또한, 가장 우수하였다. 정식 후 생육 또한 세 처리구 중 PF가 빠른 경향을 나타냈으며 첫 수확일이 GH에 비해 2일 빨랐고 작기는 1일 빠르게 종료되었다. 과장, 과폭 및 과중을 비교한 결과 처리구에 따른 차이는 미미하였다. PF가 암꽃 개화율이 높았고, 착과율은 PF가 가장 낮았다. 단위면적당 생산량은 PF가 10.23kg으로 가장 많았다. 엽록소 형광 매개 변수 중 가장 민감하게 반응하는 Pi_Abs는 정식 후 4주차에 PF가 4.14로 가장 높았다. 정식 후 4주차의 Fv/Fm과 DI0/RC를 비교한 결과 PF가 가장 스트레스를 적게 받는 경향을 나타냈다. PF는 묘소질, 정식 후 생육 및 생산량이 가장 우수하였으며, 과실 품질은 GH의 과실과 차이가 없었기 때문에 PF를 현장에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
