Abstract

We examined the effect of nutrient solution concentration in the second half of growing period on the pre- and postharvest characteristics of two leaf lettuce cultivars, ‘Geokchima’ and ‘Cheongchima’. Plants were grown hydroponically in a deep flow technique (DFT) system at different concentrations of National Horticulture Research Institute hydroponic nutrient solution: ½ strength (S), 1S, 2S, and 4S. Lettuce leaf growth, number of leaves, and shoot fresh weight of both cultivars were greatest in plants grown in the 1S treatment. Compared to other treatments, pigment and nutrient ion contents were greater in the 4S treatment. Growth of lettuce was greatest in the 1S treatment, and decreased at higher or lower concentrations of nutrient solution. However, postharvest characteristics such as fresh weight loss, leaf chlorophyll level, and external appearance were better in both cultivars when grown in 2S solution. Variations in weight loss and SPAD values were smallest in the 2S treatment. These results show that the optimal nutrient concentration for growth does not necessarily provide the optimal postharvest storability.

담액 수경재배에서 재배후반기 양액농도가 상추의 생장과 저장성에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 4가지 양액농도(1/2S, 1S, 2S 와 4S)를 ‘적치마’와 ‘청치마’ 식물체에 처리한 후 생장과 수확후 특성을 조사하였다. 국화과 전용배양액(N-P-K-Ca- Mg=14.2-3.5-9-4-2me·L-1)의 1배액으로 조성하여 3주간 재배한 후 2주간 양액 농도를 조절하여 재배한 결과 두 품종 모두 생체중 등의 생육량이 1배액이 좋았으며, 2배액과 1/2배액은 1배액보다 다소 떨어졌으며, 4배액에서는 생장 특성이 저하되는 것으로 나타났다. 색소 및 무기이온 함량에서는 4배액으로 처리한 상추가 높았다. 수확후 특성에서는 품종별로 2배액으로 처 리한 상추가 저장기간 중 생체중 감소 및 SPAD 변화의 폭이 적었고, 외관과 같은 선도유지에 효과적인 것으로 나타났으며, 대 체로 1배액, 1/2배액, 4배액 순으로 나타났다. 상추 수경재배 후기에 양액 농도교환에 따른 생육과 수확후 특성을 보면 재배 중 에 최적의 생육량을 보인 양액 조성이 수확후 저장 및 품질유지 효과와 일관성을 보이지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 변화하 는 농업 여건에 맞추어 수경재배에서 생산성 향상뿐만 아니라 향후에는 수확후 특성을 고려한 양액 조성과 재배 방법에 대한 개선이 필요한 것으로 보인다.
