본 연구는 토양근권제한이 멜론의 수량과 품질에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자, 격리상, 간이근권제한시트 및 관행 토양재배의 3가지 재배방법을 적용하여 멜론을 4월19일 부터 7월 17일까지 재배하였다. 지온은 격리상재배가 토양재배와 근권제한시트 재배보다 다소 높게 유지되었고 멜론의 생육은 토양과 근권제한시트재배에 비해 격리상 재배에서 빨랐다. 과실크기는 토양, 격리상 및 근권제한시트재배 순이었으나 당도 및 네트형성은 격리상재배가 토양재배에 비해 우수하였다. 수확기 경엽의 시들음주율은 토양재배 26.7%, 근권제한시트재배 25% 발생한 데 비해 격리상재배는 3.3%로 가장 낮았다 따라서 상품과 수량은토양재배에 비해 격리상재배에서 많았다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of root zone restriction on yield and quality of muskmelon. Three cultivation methods, isolated bench, root zone restriction sheet(RZR sheet) and conventional soil culture, were compared from April 19th to July 17th. Soil temperature was higher at isolated bench and the growth of melon was accelerated at isolated bench compared to soil culture or RZR sheet. Fruit size was bigger in order of soil culture, isolated bench and RZR sheet, while sugar content and net shape were greatest at isolated bench, and the percentage of wilted plant was 3.3% at isolated bench, 25.0% at RZR sheet and 26.7% at soil culture. Therefore, marketable yield was higher at isolated bench compared to conventional soil culture.
