본 조사는 양액재배 36개 농가의 원수를 채취하여 무기이온을 중심으로 한 수질상태를 분석하여 배양액 조성에 필요한 기초자료를 얻기 위하여 수행하였다. 양액 재배에 이용되는 원수의 수질 분석 결과에서 pH의 수준은 5.95-7.61로서 평균 6.75이었다. 전기전도도(EC)의 분포범위는 0.07-0.97 mS/cm로서 비교적 넓었으며 평균 0.35 mS/cm이었다. 원수의 전기전도도가 0.5 mS/cm를 넘는 농가가 19.5%로 이들 농가는 배양액 조성 및 관리에 주의가 요구되었다. Na과 Cl의 분포범위는 각각 5.0-41.4 ppm, 10-99 ppm로서 평균 20.38 ppm, 35.16 ppm이었다. 75%의 농가가 Na 기준치인 11.5ppm을 넘었고, 33.3% 농가는 Cl 기준치인 35.5 ppm을 넘어 배지경에서 염류집적의 우려가 있었다. Ca 및 Mg의 분포범위는 각각 1.60 131 ppm, 0.96-34.1 ppm로서 평균 26.11 ppm, 8.10 ppm이었다. HCO3의 분포범위는 24-295 ppm로서 평균 63.13 ppm이었다. Fe의 분포범위는 0.01-0.87 ppm로서 평균 0.14 ppm이었다. 이 결과는 고형배지경 기준인 0.03 ppm을 60%의 농가가 상회하여 Fe 제거의 필요성이 있었다.

This survey has been conducted, mostly in inorganic ions, to get some basic data for the culture solution composition, analyzing water quality of some hydroponic farms. pH range was shown from 5.95 to 7.61 and the average of 6.75. Relatively wide range of EC, from 0.07 to 0.97 mS/cm and the average of 0.35 mS/cm were obtained. 19.5 percent of farms investigated showed over 0.5 mS/cm of EC, which means more careful culture solution composition and its management are needed in these farms. Na concentration ranged from 5.0 to 41.4 ppm and Cl concentration ranged from 10 to 99 ppm were shown and their average were 20.38 ppm and 35.16 ppm, respectively. Higher Na concentration compared to standard of 11.5 ppm was shown in 75% of farms and Higher Cl concentration compared to standard of 35.5 ppm was shown in 33.3% of farms. These concentration were considered rather high, which can cause salt accumulation in substrate mats. Ca and Mg concentrations were ranged from 1.60 to 131 ppm and 0.96 to 34.1 ppm, respectively. Average concentrations were 26.11 ppm in Ca and 8.10 ppm in Mg. In case of HCO3, 24 to 295 ppm of concentration range and average of 63.13 ppm were obtained. Fe range was 0.01 to 0.87 ppm and its average was 0.14 ppm. This results showed that Fe elimination was necessary in well water.
