순환식 펄라이트 고형배지경에서 토마토의 영양과 환경특성을 고려한 생육단계별 최적 배양액을 개발하고자 일본 야채시험장표준액(야시액)을 2 수준(l/2, 1.0 배액)으로 하여 실험을 하였다. 전반적으로 일본 야시액 1배액에서 생육이 좋았으며 식물체내 무기이온함량도 적정치로 나타났다. 따라서 1배액의 양수분 흡수율에 의해 토마토 순환식 고형배지경용 배양액을 조성 하였고 그것을 SCUT 배양액으로하였다. 생육단계별로 육묘기. 영양생장기 및 결실기로 나누어 양수분 흡수율(n/w)을 계산한 결과, 육묘기에 N 13.5, P 3.3, K 7.0, Ca 7.0 및 Mg 3.5 me.L-1이었고, 영양생장기에는 N 14.2, P 3.3, K8.0, Ca 7.5 및 Mg 4.0 me.L-1, 결실 비대기에는 N 10.0, P 3.0, K 7.0, Ca 6.0, Mg 3.0 me.L-1로 조성하는 것이 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 생육단계별로 조성된 시립대 순환식 토마토 배양액(SCUT)을 네덜란드의 순환식 배양액 (PBG)과 함께 비교실험을 수행한 결과 근권내 pH 와 EC변화는 저농도구인 1/2배액에서 변화가 크게 나타나지 않았다. 근권내 무기이온함략 변화는 시립대액에서는 생육단계별로 조성배양액을 바꾸어 공급하면서 실험한 결과 1/2배액에서 근권내 N, p 함량이 적정수준이하로 나타났고 2배액에서는 근권내 N, K, Ca, Mg 함량이 집적되어 고농도로 되는 경향을 보였다. 반면에 1배액에서는 전반적으로 근권내 무기양분이 적정수준을 유지하고 있었으며 특히 시립대 배양액에서 토마토의 생육, 수량 및 품질이 높게 나타났다.
This experiment was conducted to develop optimal nutrient solution for tomato plants, according to the plant growth stages in closed system. Perlite substrate was supplied with 1/2 and 1 strength of the solution of National Horticultural Research Station in Japan. Plants grew better and the nutrientcontents in the leaves were also proper in 1 strength. Based on these results, optimal nutrient solution in perlite was composed by n/w of 1 strength according to the plant growth rates : N 13.5, P 3.3, K 7.0, Ca 7.0, Mg 3.5 me.L-1 in seedling stage, N 14.2, P 3.3, K 8.0, Ca 7.5, Mg 4.0 me.L-1 in vegetative stage and N 10.0, P 3.0, K 7.0, Ca 6.0, Mg 3.0 me.L-1 in reproductive stage. To examine the suitability of the nutrient solution developed in this experiment, tomato plants were grown in rockwool and supplied with two different composition and concentration of nutrient solution composed by n/w of 1 strength in perlite (SCUT) and by Research Station for Greenhouse Vegetable and Floriculture on the Netherlands (PBG). PH and EC in SCUT were changed little in 1 strength but a significant change of PH was shown in 1/2 strength. Later, drained solutions in rockwool were also analyzed according to the Plant growth stages. Low concentrations of N and P in root zone were shown in early growth stage but N was increased in reproductive stage, while, K, Ca, Mg concentration was consistent through the whole growth stage. Considering these results, we found that the rebalance of N and P was needed, that is, reduction of N concentration in reproductive stage and increasing of P concentration in vegetative stage.
