Abstract

This study aimed to select cucumber varieties adaptive to the UAE greenhouse climate by comparing LAVPD, water consumption, and growth performance of plants and fruits of different European cucumber varieties, including Gulfstream, Imea, Borja, and Dreamliner, in substrate hydroponic cultivation under hot and humid greenhouse conditions. The results showed that the total marketable fruit weight per plant was the highest in the Gulfstream variety during the extremely high temperature period, August, followed by Imea. During the entire growing period, the total marketable fruit weight was the highest in Imea, which was associated with the highest number of stem nodes. Water consumption for producing 200 g of fruit was lower in Gulfstream and Imea varieties. Thus, Gulfstream and Imea varieties could be recommended for production in the UAE greenhouse condition.

본 연구는 UAE 온실 환경에서 적응성이 우수한 오이 품종을 선발하고자 유럽형 오이 Gulfstream, Imea, Borja, Dreamliner을 고온다습한 국내 온실 환경에서 배지경으로 재배하면서 엽포차, 수분소비량, 식물체 및 과실 생육 특성을 비교하였다. 총 생산된 상품과중은 극고온기에는 Gulfstream 품종이 다른 품종에 비해 높았고 Imea 품종이 뒤를 이었으며 전 재배기간 동안 총상품과중은 마디수가 가장 많았던 Imea 품종에서 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 과실 200g을 생산하기 위해 소모된 물량도 Gulfstream과 Imea 순으로 적었다. 따라서, UAE 온실 환경에 Gulfstream과 Imea 두 품종이 적합할 것으로 판단된다.
