지중가온시설을 이용한 고구마뿌리혹선충(Meloidogyne incognita Chitwood) 방제를 위하여 지하 20cm 깊이의 최저지온을 각각 30. 40, 50℃ 가온구 및 관행의 무지중가온구로 설정하고 담수구와 무담수구로 나누어 8월 1일부터 8월 5일까지 5일간 가온한 결과, 담수구의 경우 지온 40℃에서 5일간, 무담수구의경우 지온 50℃에 5일간 지중가온처리한 구에서 생존한 유충이 발견되지 않아 선충밀도를 경제적 피해수준 이하로 유지할 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다. 지중가온으로 토양내 OM. P2 O5, Ca, Mg함량과 EC는 시험전 토양에 비하여 감소하였는데, 특히 담수처리에서 EC가 현저히 저하하였다
This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of soil heating on control of root-knot nematode(Meloidogyne incognita Chitwood) by root zone warming system. Root zone was warmed by hot water flowing through pipe set at 35cm depth from the ridge The lowest soil temperatures at 20cm depth were set at 30℃, 40℃, 50℃ and non-warming. under soil submerging condition and non-submerging condition. Soil heating was done for 5 days(120 hours) from Aug. 1 to Aug. 5. The root-knot nematode juvenile densities of 40℃ under submerging condition. and 50℃ under non-submerging condition were 0 which was expected lower than the economic injury level. The contents of OM P2 O5, Ca Mg and EC in soil were decreased by root zone warming The EC was considerably lowered under submerging condition
