몇가지 LED 광질이 고구마 바이러스 무병묘의 생장과 포장생육 및 수량에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. ‘신황미’, ‘연황미’, ‘맛나미’ 등 3품종의 바이러스 무병묘를 20일간 담액수경 재배하여, 자연광하에서 10일간 순화시켜 30cm 크기의 삽수를 75×25cm로 6월 10일 정식하여 흑색비닐로 멀칭재배하였다. LED 광질은 형광등(40W) 을 대조구로 하여 적색(660nm), 청색(460nm), 적+청 8:2 및 적+청 7:3 혼합광을 사용하였다. 묘소질은 적+청 (7:3) 혼합 LED에서 줄기신장, 줄기두께, 잎수 및 뿌리 발달 등이 양호하여 건묘육성에 가장 효과적이었다. 정식 30일후, 포장 생존율은 적:청(7:3) 혼합 LED에서 형광등과 적색 LED보다 유의하게 높았으며, 품종간 차이는 없었다. 줄기길이, 줄기두께, 마디수 등의 지상부 생육특성도 LED 광질 및 품종간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 정식 120일후 지상부 생육특성에서도 줄기길이, 줄기두 께, 마디수, 곁가지수, 생체중 등에서 LED 광질에 따른 유의성은 인정되지 않았으며, 줄기길이, 마디수, 줄기두 께, 생체중 등에서 품종간에 유의한 차이를 보였다. 주 당평균중, 평균괴근중 및 수량 등은 LED 광질에 따른 차이가 없었으며, 품종간에는 유의한 차이를 보였다. 품종간 수량은 ‘맛나미’와 ‘연황미’에서 ‘신황미’보다 유의 하게 높았다.
This work was conducted to investigate the field growth and yield of the sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) slips grown under different light emitting diodes (LEDs). Sweet potato cuttings of 3 cultivars (‘Matnami’, ‘Shinhwangmi’, and ‘Yeonhwangmi’) were cultivated under fluorescent lamp (FL) and several LEDs (PPF 150±5μmol·m−2·s−1 at 20cm distance) in deep flow culture system for 20 days. The plants were acclimatized under sunlight for 10 days, and then cuttings (30cm length) were planted with 75×25cm planting density on June 10th, covered with black vinyl film during growth period. Length and diameter of vine, number of root were excellent in the red plus blue (7:3) LED than the other treatments. At 30 days after planting, the survival rate in red plus blue (7:3) LED was significantly higher than that in FL and red LED, and it was not different among cultivars. Vine length, vine diameter, and number of node were not significant among LED light qualities and cultivars. After 120 days in the field cultivation, vine length, vine diameter, number of node, number of branch, and fresh weight of shoot were not significant among LED light qualities, but those except the number of branch showed significant differences among cultivars. Yield characteristics among LED light colors were not significant, but weight of storage root per plant, mean weight of storage root, and yield showed significant differences among cultivars. The yield per 10a in ‘Matnami’, and ‘Yeonhwangmi’ was significantly higher than that in ‘Shinhwangmi’.
