이 연구는 관상용이나 천연감미료, 생리활성물질의 원료로 활용되는 산수국의 적정 생육조건을 구명하고자 수행하였다. 2년생 산수국의 삽목묘를 대상으로 광, 수분 및 시비처리를 실시한 후 8월과 9월에 광합성, 엽록소 함량, 엽생장을 조사 비교하였다. 광도처리별 광합성율의 유의차는 8월에는 유의차가 인정되었으나, 9월에는 유의차가 인정되지 않았다. 관수처리별 광합성율은 주3회 관수처리구에서 높았다. 시비구가 무시비구에 비해 광합성율이 약간 높게 나타났다. 엽록소함량은 광도처리별에 있어서는 8,9월 모두에서 유의차가 인정되었으며, 관수처리별에서는 8월에서만 유의차가 나타났으며 시비처리에서는 모두 유의차가 인정되지 않았다. 엽생장(엽장과 엽폭)은 전광과 주 3회 관수처리 시에 양호하였다.

To study for proper growing conditions of Hydrangea macrophylla var. acuminata, used as ornamental trees or sources of natural sweetenings and biological active compounds, two-year-old cuttings of the plant were subjected to different conditions, light intensity, watering, and fertilizing levels. Photosynthetic rates measured on October 2 differed significantly between two light intensity regimes, but the values measured on September 3 were not significantly different. Mean photosynthetic rates on the plot watered three times a week were higher than the cuttings on the plot watered once a week. Mean photosynthetic rates on the plot fertilized 200grams/cuttings were slightly higher than those of the cuttings on the control plot. Chlorophyll contents measured on August 2 and on September 3 were significantly different between the light intensity regimes. Chlorophyll contents measured on August 2 were significantly different between the moisture regimes, but not significantly different between the fertilizing levels. Means of leaf growth(length and width) measured the highest values on the plot watered three times a week, and on the plot in full-sun lighted.
