식물생장조절제가 벼 기계이앙 어린모 육묘시 맷트형성에 미치는 효과를 검토하기 위하여 오합벼를 공시하여 8가지의 생장조절제를 사용, 종자침종하여 맷트형성 효과와 뿌리생장을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다 1. Metalaxyl ( 25 % 수화제)은 어린모의 뿌리신장과 근모발생에 탁월한 효과가 있었으며 Tetra-cycle, Pachlobutrazol, NTN-821은 처리농도가 높을수록 초장과 근장이 짧아지고 간태가 굵어졌다. 2. Metalaxyl( 200, 1,000ppm) 처리는 무처리에 비하여 근수는 비슷하면서 뿌리신장과 근모발생이 현저히 증가되어 맷트형성이 아주 양호하였던 반면에 Tetracycle 처리에서는 근수는 증가되었지만 근장이 짧아져서 맷트형성이 불량하였다. 3. 공시약제 중 Metalaxyl의 맷트형성 촉진효과가 인정되었으며, 1,000ppm까지는 농도가 높을 수록 맷트형성이 좋아지는 경향이었으며, Metalaxyl의 종자침종을 위 한 적정온도는 약 200ppm으로서 실제로 이용할 때는 1, 000 배액으로 사용하면 되겠다. 4. Metalaxyl의 종자침종 처리로 어린모의 맷트형성은 무처리에 비하여 약 1~2일 단축시킬 수 있었다.
This experiment was conducted to elucidate the effect of plant growth regulators (PGR) on the root -mat formation of infant seedling (8- to 10-day-old seedling) of rice in machine transplanting. The rice seeds of Odaebyeo were socked in water with different concentrations of PGRs for 48 hours at room temperature. Seeding rate was 220 g per seed tray (30x60x3cm). Metalaxyl (25% wettable powder) was used for a fungicide. Generally, the metalaxyl-treated seeds markedly promoted the root growth of the rice seedling, while tetracy-cle, pachlobutrazol and NTN -821 reduced the seedling height and root length, and thickened the shoot diameter at higher concentation levels. Tetracycle decreased root length of the rice seedlings but increased root number per seedling, and root-mat formation was poor. Whereas, metalaxyl concentrations of 200 and 1,000 ppm markedly increased root length and number of root hairs without decreasing root number, thus root-mat formation was excellent. The optimum concentration of metalaxyl seed treatment to increase the root-mat formation of infant seedling of rice was about 200 ppm. Metalaxyl seed treatment could be advanced one to two days of the duration of root-mat formation compared with control.
