본 실험은 수출 유망 품목으로 부상하고 있는 치콘에 대한 연백재배 기술을 확립하여 농가에 보급함으로서 치콘의 수입 대체 효과와 수출을 통한 외화를 획득하여 농가 소득 증대를 목적으로 수행하였다. 연백기간은 10일, 15일, 20일, 25일, 30일 간격의 5처리 구하여 연백 일수에 따른 생육은 연백 일수가 길수록 양호하였으나 겉잎 수가 많았다. 추대율은 25일째와 30일째가 각각 16%, 30%로 나타났으며, 10일째는 치콘의 무게가 적고, 경도가 낮고, 치밀성이 낮아 상품성이 없었다 품질은 처리구간에 일정한 경향을 보이지 않았다. 따라서 치콘을 연백재배하기 위한 적정 연백일수는 20일로 나타났다.
The experiment was conducted to establish the blanching culture of chicon expected to become exporting crop, for preventing Korea fiom importing the ffreign chicon and increasing the growers' profits, the days of blanching culture are based on the 5 treatments such as 10 days, 15 days ,20 days, 25 days, and 30 days. In the blanching culture days of chicory, the growth was good as blanching culture days were longer, there were too many outer leaves, and the ratio of bolting was 16% on the 25 days, 30% on the 30days. On the 10th day, the weight of chicon was light, the hardness was low, the density was low. The quality of chicon had no differences among the treatments. Therefore, the optimal condition for blanching culture of chicory is that the days of blanching culture is 20 days.
