간격침적식 수경재배의 실용화 가능성을 검사하고자 10분간격 간격침적식, 15분간격 간격침적식, NFT식 및 분무경system을 이용하여 토마토에 대한 생육비교 실험을 수행하였다. 1. 초장은 NFT식에서 가장 양호하였으나 주근장은 간헐침지식에서 길었으며 수경과 엽수는 처리간에 차이가 없었다. 2. 생체중과 건물중은 생육초기에는 NFT에서 무거웠으나 생육이 진전될수록 간헐침지식에서 더 무거워졌다. 3. 처리 후 43일의 개화수는 분무경 18.5, 15분간격 간헐침지식 17.8, 10분간격 간헐침지식 16.8, NFT 15.1개 순이었으며 과중은 분무경에서 149.1g으로 가장 무거웠다. 4. 식물체당 평균수량은 분무경에서 1929.1g으로 가장 많았고 10분간격 간헐침지식에서 1475.2g으로 다음이었으며, NFT식 및 15분간격 간헐침지식에서 각각 1276.2, 1084.8g으로 가장 적었다. 5. 식물체당 평균수호과수는 분무경 11.0, NFT식 9.7, 15분간격 간헐침지식 8.3, 10분간격 간헐침지식 7.7개 순이었으며 평균과중은 분무경 192.9, 10분간격 간헐침지식 172.4, NFT식 134.0, 15분간격 간헐침지식 126.0 순이었다. 6. 평균과장은 분무경과 10분간격 간헐침지식에서 NFT식과 15분간격 간헐침지식보다 길었으며 평균과폭은 NFT식, 분무경 및 10분간격 간헐침지식에서 비슷한 정도로 15분간격 간헐침지식보다 켰다.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the possibility of practical use of intermittent soaking system(ISS) in hydroponicaly growing tomato. There were four treatments which were NFT, Aeroponics, and ISS with 10 and 15 minute soaking intervals. 1. Plant height is highest in NFT, but main root length is longest in ISS. While stem diameter and leaf number were not significantly difference. 2. Fresh and dry weight were heavier in NFT than those of other systems at early growth stage, but the heavier in ISS system, the growth more develop. 3. In 43 days after treatment, the number of flowerlet was largest in aeroponics, and then ISS and NFT in order. Fruit weight per plant was also heaviest in aeroponics. 4. Average yield per plant were 1929.1g in aeroponics, 1475.2g in ISS with 10 minute soaking interval, 1276.2g in NFT and 1084.8g in ISS with 15 minute soaking interval. 5. Average fruit number per plant were 11.0 in aeroponics, 9.7 in NFT, 8.3 in ISS with 15 minute soaking interval, and 7.7 in ISS with 10 minute soaking interval. Average fruit weight were 192.9g in aeroponics, 172.4g in ISS with 10 minute soaking interval, 134.0g in NFT and 126.0g in ISS with 15 minute soaking interval. 6. Average fruit length was longer in aeroponics and ISS with 10 minute soaking interval than in the NFT and ISS with 15 minute soaking interval. Average fruit width was similarly wider in NFT, aeroponics and ISS with 10 minute soaking interval than in ISS with 15 minute soaking interval.
