시설토양내 Na나 Cl이온의 과다집적은 직접 또는 간접적으로 작물의 생육에 장해를 준다 따라서 본 실험은 플라스틱 포트재배에서 NaCl에 의해 생육이 억제된 작물에 Ca을 토양에 시용함으로써 치유효과를 검토코자 수행되었다. 토마토(하우스 모모타로)를 공시하여 80 mM NaCl를 처리하고 Ca(NO3)2과 CaCl2을 각각 0, 10, 20mM을 토마토 재배용 야마자키 표준양액에 첨가하여 공급하였다. NaCl집적토양에 Ca을 시용함으로써 모두 초장,생체중,건물중,착과수,과중의 생육을 촉진하였다 이러한 효과는 Ca의 농도가 높을수록 좋았고 Ca(NO3)2이 CaCl2보다 좋았다 수량은 NaCl 집적+Ca(NO3)2 20mM 처리구에서 대조구를 제외한 여타 처리구보다 많았다. 광합성 속도는 Ca 처리구가 NaCl 처리구보다 높았으며, Ca 농도가 증가할수록 높았다. 엽록소 함량은 Ca처리구에서 대조구보다 많았으며, 새로운 잎이 오래된 잎보다 많았으나 Ca의 농도간에는 큰 차이가 없었다. Ca(NO3)2이나 CaCl2을 처리함으로써 식물체의 Na함량은 감소하였고 N, K및 Ca함량은 증가하였다. 특히 K/Na비율이 현저하게 증가하였으나, Cl함량은 감소하였다. 이상의 결과에서 NaCl의 스트레스를 받은 작물에 Ca(NO3)2및 Cac12을 처리함으로써 생육이 촉진되고 수량이 증가되나 대조구보다는 저조함을 알 수 있었다.
Enhanced supply of Ca2+ as well as NO3[-10] is known to restrict the uptake of the Na+ and Cl[-10] ion and ameliorate growth under saline conditions. This test was conducted to investigate the ameliorating effects of Ca(NO3)2 or CaCl2 on the growth and yield of NaCl-stressed tomato plants grown in plastic pot filled with soil. All treatments except for the control were supplied with 80 mM NaCl fur two weeks after transporting. The saline solutions with nutrient were supplemented with either 0, 10 or 20 mM Ca(NO3)2 and either 0, 10 or 20 mM CaCl2 during harvesting time from two weeks after transporting. Ca(NO3)2 or CaCl2 application enhanced the growth such as plant height, fresh weight, dry weight, fruit number, and fruit weight, and yield of NaCl-stressed tomato, and also their effects increased greater as concentration of supplemented Ca(NO3)2 or CaCl2increased. Yield increased in 20 mM Ca(NO3)2 compared with the others except fur the control. Photosynthetic rate in Ca treatments was lower than that of the control, but higher than that of NaCl treatment. Leaf chlorophyll content was higher in Ca treatments compared with the others, especially in younger leaf, while that was not affected by concentration of supplemented Ca. Ca(NO3)2 or CaCl2 supply increased the K+ and C2+ concentration of tomato plants, whereas the Na+ transport to the leaves was inhibited. There was a strong increase in the K+/Na+ ratio in plants treated Ca(NO3)2, or CaCl2. Cl[-10] content of plants was decreased by supplemental Ca(NO3)2 but Cl[-10] was increased in plants with CaCl2compared with Ca(NO3)2. N concentration in plants of tomato increased with enhanced Ca(NO3)2 or CaCl2supply, In conclusion, our study confirms the potential of Ca(NO3)2 or CaCl2to alleviate NaCl-induced growth reductions in tomato.
