Cymbidium ‘Aroma Pink’는 국립원예특작과학원에서 2017년 도에 육성한 신품종으로, 2000년에 C. Lucky Rainbow ‘Lapin Hot’과 C. eburneum을 인공교배하여 개발된 품종이다. 교배 후 기내파종과 하우스 순화를 통해 120개의 실생묘를 얻었고, 그 중 화색, 엽형, 꽃대 및 생육특성 등을 고려하여 3계통을 1차 선발하였고, 2011년부터 2016년까지 특성 검정을 통하여 품종의 안정성과 균일성을 확인하였다. 그 결과, 최종적으로 ‘00-1174-100’한 계통을 선발하였고 ‘원교 F1-62’로 계통명을 부 여한 후, ‘Aroma Pink’로 명명하였다. ‘Aroma Pink’ 품종은 백 색 바탕에 꽃받침 일부가 연한 분홍색, 순판 가운데가 노란색 을 띄며 화형은 꽃잎과 꽃받침이 약간 안쪽으로 오므라드는 안 아피기 형태이며 꽃의 길이와 폭은 6.1cm, 5.2cm로 작은 편이다. 전체적으로 동그란 화형과 중형종 크기는 모본인 C. Lucky Rainbow ‘Lapin Hot’과 유사하나 진한 적색 순판 대신 부본의 노란색 순판과 화색을 닮아 강렬한 느낌보다는 전체적으로 화 사한 느낌을 준다. 꽃대는 평균 2.9개 발생하고 화서당 꽃 수 가 6.5개로 적은 편에 속하지만, 부본인 C. eburneum 원종의 향기를 가지고 있다. 또한 직립한 꽃대에 늘어짐이 적은 잎을 가져 전체적으로 안정적인 형태를 이루며 개화시기는 3월경으 로 만생종에 속한다. 한편 고온에 의해 화색이 탁해질 수 있 으나, 전반적으로 재배 관리가 용이한 편이다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of mulberry cake mixed diet on larval growth of Protaetia brevitarsis. As a result of adding mulberry cake to oak fermented sawdust and mulberry fermented sawdust, the survival rate of P. brevitarsis larvae were higher than those of the control when mass rearing larvae. When fed oak fermented sawdust with 3, 5% and 10% of mulberry cake, the cumulative proportion of larvae over 2.5g was 92.9% at 65 days, 90.8% at 55 days, and 96.3% at 45 days after rearing at 25±1℃, respectively. When fed mulberry fermented sawdust with 3%, 5% and 10% of mulberry cake, the cumulative proportion of larvae over 2.5g was 86.2% at 85 days, 90.7% at 75 days, and 91.5% at 75 days after rearing at 25±1℃, respectively.

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of mulberry leaf mixed diet on larval growth of Protaetia brevitarsis. As a result of adding mulberry leaves to oak fermented sawdust, the survival rate of P. brevitarsis larvae were higher than those of the control when mass rearing larvae. When fed oak fermented sawdust with 5%, 10% and 20% of mulberry leaves, the cumulative proportion of larvae over 2.5g was 93.1% at 65 days, 95.6% at 55 days, and 93.9% at 55 days after rearing at 25±1℃, respectively. Also, heavy metals were not detected in larvae of P. brevitarsis fed on mulberry leaves.

This study was conducted to evaluate the time required to sell Protaetia brevitarsis larvae when larvae fed on three kinds of fermented berries sawdust, such as mulberry, raspberry, and blueberry. The first instar larvae were reared in a plastic container(543x363x188mm) with designated feeds, and investigated the cumulative proportion of larvae more than 2.5g at rearing room regulated at 25±1℃ with 50~60% under 16:8(L:D). When we reared larvae for about 45 days with fermented blueberry sawdust, the cumulative proportion of larvae with more than 2.5g was over 70%. It was about 40 days shorter than fermented oak sawdust. For each group, the average survival rates of larvae at the possible time for sale were 72~93%.
