콩군락에 흡수된 단파폭사와 건물생산과의 관계를 단경밀식적응품종인 팔달콩을 공시하여 조사한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 단파폭사의 군락에서의 감쇄계수는 0.53, 총투과된 양은 입사된 단파폭사량의 31.9%이었다. 2. 생육시기별 지하부 건물중과 그 기간에 군락이 흡수한 단파폭사의 적산치는 등숙기인 출현후 88일항까지는 직선적 비례관계가 성립하였고, 건물로의 변환효율인 비례계수는 1.45gMJ1이었다. 3. 생육기간의 전체반사율은 24.7%이었으며 엽면적지수(LAI) 2.5 이상에서는 입사량에서 투과량을 뺀값과 반사폭사량간의 상관도가 높았다.
A field experiment was conducted to study both the distribution characteristics of shortwave radiation in the soybean canopy and its relationship with dry matter production. The soybean 'Paldalkong' was sown with the space of 45~times 10cm at Suwon on May 27. 1988. The extinction coefficient of solar radiation remained constant (0.53) after full canopy was reached. The 31.9% of the incoming solar radiation was transmitted. The reflected radiation from the plant canopy increased lineary with incoming solar radiation (R2 =0.9346). As leaf area index become larger than 2.5. the reflected radiation showed more significant linear relationship with the differences in the radiations between incoming and transmitted radiation than incoming solar radiation (R2 =0.9558). The mean reflectance during the growing period was 24.7%. A significant linear relationship (R2 =0.9930) had been admitted between the accumulated solar radiation intercepted by the canopy and dry matter production of 'Paldalkong' until the 35th day of ripening stage. The conversion efficiency of solar radiation intercepted to dry matter of soybean was 1.45g MJ~ -1/.
