Tomato leaves were inoculated with 1x104 spores · mL-1 and placed in an acryl box at 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30oC for 24 h. Ten days after inoculation, the incidence of late blight appeared as a typical symptom in 6 hrs treatment of leaf wet duration when the temperature is between 15 and 20oC at that time. The incidence of disease was 26% and 41% at 10oC and 25oC treatment although the disease did not occur even after treatment at 30oC for 16 h, respectively. The most important factors in the incidence of Late blight were leaf wet duration and temperature. Optimum growth temperature of tomato is from 15 to 25oC, thus the management of leaf wet duration is better than control by temperature to prevent the incidence of Late blight. After inoculation, the symptoms of Late blight occurred in 5 days, therefore the latency period was estimated to be 5 days. The incidence rate of Late blight was the highest at 15 and 20oC. At the time of chemicals application, when Fluopicolide 5%+Propamocarb hydrochloride 25% was applied at 12 h of leaf wet duration, the control effect was the highest as 95% at 36 h but decreased by 70% when treated after 48 h. On the other hand Cymoxanil 12% + Famoxadone 9% was applied at 18 h of leaf wet duration, the control effect was the highest as 95% at 36 h but decreased by 70% after 48 h as similar as Fluopicolide 5% +Propamocarb hydrochloride 50% treatments. In the application of Dimethomorph 15% +Dithianon 30%, the control effect was more or less low as 80% at 20 h of leaf wet duration and was decreased to 60% at 48 h.

This study was carried out to elucidate suppressive effect of loess-sulfur complex and neem oil on the development of leaf mold and fungus gnat in no-pesticide tomato farming system. Since tomato leaf mold occurred 15%, neem oil, loess-sulfur mixture and boscalid(47%, water soluble chemicals) 2,000 times, 1,000 times and 2000 times diluted was treated three times, respectively. When disease incidence of tomato leaf mold was investigated 20 days after final treatment, it was recorded 17% in neem oil treatment(control efficacy 40%) and 12.3% in loess-sulfur mixture treatment(control efficacy 59%). Among three control agents used, Boscalid(47%, water soluble chemicals) showed the best control effect against tomato leaf mold. When neem oil was diluted 250 times, 330 times and 500 times and treated in coir bag infected with fungus gnat, its control values was 69, 59, and 55%, respectively. There was no significant difference among three treatments. As a result, 500-fold diluted neem oil treatment is considered a good measure to control fungus gnat in the field condition.

본 연구는 의료살균기술의 하나인 전극을 이용한 전기 충격 살균법을 순환식 수경재배의 배양액 재순환을 위한 배액 살균기술로 활용하고, 배액의 전기살균소독시스템을 구축하고자 할 때, 살균소독 효과가 높으며, 친환경적이고 경제적인 배양액 살균소독기술의 개발 및 전기살균소독시스템에서 사용될 전극의 최적 조건을 구명하고 전기소독의 가능성을 확인하기 위해 수행되었다. 전기살 균소독시스템 구축 시 적정 전극소재 구명을 위해 금속 전도체의 특성 조사 및 전기실험을 실시하여 배액의 pH 와 EC변화유무와 침전물 발생여부 및 배액의 원소변화 유무를 분석하였다. 새로이 개발된 전기살균소독시스템 구축 시 가장 적합한 금속 전도체 전극소재로는 전기전도도가 높고, 저항이 적으며, 소재의 수급이 용이하고, 가격이 저렴한 스테인리스 스틸임을 확인하였으며. 또한 스테인리스 스틸을 전극으로 사용하였을 때, 전기를 공급하기 전과 24V 이내의 전기를 공급한 후의 배양액내 원소변화는 거의 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 전극의 두께 보다는 넓이가 증가함에 따라 전류의 양이 증가하였으며 전극의 거리가 멀수록 목표 전류량에 도달하는 시간이 증가하였다. 적합한 전류량에 따른 주요 병원균의 살균 력을 조사한 결과 대표적 세균병인 풋마름병의 원인균인 Ralstonia solanacearum가 전류 15V-3A 170초에서 97% 가 사멸되는 것을 확인하였으며 곰팡이병인 Fusarium oxysporum은 24V-10A에서 98%의 살균력을 보였다.

Effect of seedling type and early transplanting of summer grown seedling on the growth and yield of tomato was investigated to minimize problems caused by legginess of seedling in summer. Grafted seedling, 20 days seedling (young seedling), 40 days seedling, and rooted cutting were raised from July 20 to Sept. 7 and young seedling was transplanted 20 days earlier than other seedling types. Young seedling growth was weaker than other seedling types and fresh weight was only 1/10 of 40 days seedling. Growth of young seedling at 20 days after transplanting was better than other seedling types and fresh weight was 3 times higher than 40 days seedling. Creased stem did not appear and trusses developed faster in young seedling. Total yield and commercial yield were highest in young seedling as 8,535 kg/10a, and 7,575 kg/10a. There is no significant difference among seedling types in fruit quality. This result shows that early transplanting of summer grown seedling is more effective to attain stable growth and yield in tomato.
