Shattering Grain Loss in Relation to the Impulse During Harvest and Year-Variation of Grain Tensile Strength in Rice
밀양 2003, 한강찰벼, 태백벼 및 진흥을 공시하여 벼알의 인장강도를 측정하고, binder 수확시 포장손실과 지상 25, 50, 75, 100, 150cm 및 200cm에서 콘크리트 바닥에 이삭을 낙하시켜 낙하높이별 탈립율을 조사하여 충격력과 탈립율과의 관계를 구하고 인장강도의 년차변이를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 평균인장강도는 밀양 2003 0.743 Newton, 한강찰벼 1.078N, 태백벼 1.573N, 진흥 1.775N이었다. 2. 인장강도가 낮을수록 binder 수확시 탈립손실이 많았으며 탈립손실이 없는 인장강도는 약 1.7N이상이었다. 3. 벼의 binder 절단부위의 수분함량은 엽초가 76.7-77.8%, 간이 76-87%이었다. 4. Binder 수확시의 포장손실율은 한 이삭을 약 40cm 높이에서 콘크리트 바닥에 떨어뜨렸을 때의 탈립율과 같았다. 5. 충격력(~chi , NewtonㆍSec)과 탈립율(Y, %)과의 관계는 밀양 2003에서 Y=-25.73+4958.4~chi (r2 =0.987), 한강찰벼에서는 Y=-12.97+2258.3~chi (r2 =0.979), 태백벼에서 Y=-5.24+840.4~chi (r2 =0.976)이었다. 6. 인장강도는 동일품종에서도 년차간에 유의적변이를 보였는데 그 변이폭은 탈립성이 큰 품종에서 작았다.
Tensile strength and shattering losses of rice grains in a binder harvest and in a free falling test were examined. Indica~times Japonica varieties, Milyang 23, Hangangchal, and Taebaek, and a Japonica variety, Jinheung were used for this study. The average tensile strength varied with varieties, showing 0.743N (Newton) in Milyang 23, 1.078N in Hangangchal, 1.573 N in Taebaek, and 1.775 N in Jinheung. Extrapolation of the average tensile strength for the zero field loss of grain indicated about 1.7 N. Moisture content of straw at the cutting position in a binder harvest was 76.0 to 86.7% in culm and 76.7 to 77.8% in leaf sheath. The percent loss of grains occurring in binder barvest in the field was equivalent to the degree of shattering in the panicle-falling test onto the concrete floor at the height of about 40cm. The grain shattering (Y) was closely related to the impulse (X), the change in momentum: Y=-25.73+4958.4X, (r2 =0.987) for Milyang 23, Y=-12.97+2258.3X, (r2 =0.979) for Hanagangchal, Y=-5.24+840.4X, (r2 =0.976) for Taebaek. The tensile strengths of grains and their variance varied singnificantly yearly even in the same variety. The magnitude of year-variance was somewhat smaller for the easily shattering variety.
