저온기에 통기성 간이 피복재의 피복방법에 의한 보온환경이 잎상추의 생육촉진에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 농PO계 필름하우스내에서 '파스라이도' 피복재를 이용하여 직접피복, 터널피복 및 직접+터널피복 처리구 하에서 10월 13일부터 10월 31일가지 18일간 청상추와 적상추를 재배하여 그 효과를 검토하였다. 평균기온, 지온, 엽온과 상대습도는 피복의 효과가 현저하여, 직접+터널, 직접피복, 터널피복 및 대조구의 순으로 높았으며, 광합성유효광량자속은 역순위였다. CO2의 농도는 주간보다 야간에 현저히 증가하였는데, 직접피복에서 가장 높았으며, 다음은 직접+터널피복, 터널피복, 대조구의 순으로 높았으나 그 차이는 매우 낮았다. 청상추와 적상추의 초장, 엽수 및 엽면적 등은 직접+터널, 직접피복, 터널피복의 순으로 촉진되었으나 통계적인 유의차는 없었다.

The study was conducted to estimate stimulation of plant growth of blue and red leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) as affected by covering methods with vinyl materials containing concentrated PO film. Plants were grown in direct, direct and tunnel, and tunnel covering with 'Pasraido materials' from October 13 to 31. With the covering mean air temperature, soil temperature, leaf temperature and relative humidity remarkedly increased. Higher temperature was observed in the order of direct and tunnel, direct, tunnel covering and the control. Photosynthetic photon flux (PPF, μmol m-2 . s-1 ) was observed in reverse order of temperature. Concentration of CO2 was higher during night than during day under the light. Accumulation of highest CO2 at night was obtained from direct coverings followed by direct and tunnel, tunnel covering and the control. Plant height, leaf number and leaf area of blue and red lettuces were stimulated by direct covering. However, there was no significant difference.
