본 연구는 하이부쉬 블루베리(Vaccinium corymbosum) 'Jersey' 품종을 이용하여 적방 1/3, 적방 1/3 +적화 1/2, 적방 2/3 및 적방 2/3 + 적화 1/2처리 후 무처리 과실의 수확량과 과실 품질을 조사하여 적방 적화 정도에 따른 수량과 과실 크기, 가용성당함량, 산함량, 과실 경도를 분석하였다. 적방 적화 처리는 과립중, 종경 및 횡경에 유의한 과립 비대효과를 가져왔다. 과실 수확량은 무처리와 적방 1/3 처리구에서 가장 높았으며, 그 이외의 처리에서는 과립비대는 이루어졌으나 수확량의 감소가 발생하였다. 무처리와 적방 1/3 처리의 경우 전체 수확량은 비슷하였으나, 적방 1/3 처리구에서는 상품성이 큰 대립의 과실이 차지하는 비율이 무처리에 비해서 큰 것으로 조사되었다. 가용성당함량은 적방과 적화 처리에 따라 수량이 감소한 적방 2/3, 적방 2/3 + 적화 1/2 처리구에서 유의하게 증가하였으나, 산함량과 경도에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 적방 적화에 따른 영향은 과립 비대와 수량에 유의한 차이를 주었으나 과실품질에는 크게 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 조사되었다.
This research focused on determining the effectiveness of cluster and/or flower thinning in highbush 'Jersey' blueberry on the yield and fruit quality. The total yield and quality of fruit were compared between thinning methods of control (no thinning), 1/3 cluster thinning, 1/3 cluster thinning + 1/2 flower thinning, 2/3 cluster thinning, and 2/3 cluster thinning + 1/2 flower thinning per each bearing shoot, respectively. Thinning strength significantly affected the yield of bearing shoot and, thus, total yield of control and 1/3 cluster thinning was higher than others. Both cluster and flower thinning, however, significantly affected the fruit growth resulting in the increase of fruit weight, length and width. Even total yield was similar between control and 1/3 cluster thinning, more larger fruit (> 1.6 g) were produced by 1/3 cluster thinning treatment, indicating that flower and/or cluster thinning contributed to the increase of individual fruit growth. Unlike fruit growth, fruit quality was less affected except total soluble solid contents. Total soluble solid level significantly increased in treatments (2/3 cluster thinning, 2/3 cluster thinning + 1/2 flower thinning) with yield decrease. No significant difference in levels of acidity and firmness of fruit was found. Results indicated that fruit growth and total yield of highbush blueberry was more influenced by the thinning strength regardless of cluster or flower than internal quality of fruit such as solid and acid levels.
