감자의 생장점 배양을 통하여 생산된 소량의 소괴경(microtuber)을 경삽하여 균일하게 생장된 플러그우량묘를 대량생산할 수 있는 기술을 개발하기 위하여 삽수를 정단 및 기부부위로 구분하고 NAA 및 IAA 10 mg /1 용액에 2시간 침지하여 cocopeat, vermiculite, perlite, peatmoss 혼용배지를 이용한 삽목과 온로장 처리 ,포장정식후 괴경형성효을에 대하여 시험한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 감자의 소괴경 유내 줄기를 이용한 플러그 삽목시 고체배지는 cocopeat, vermiculite, perlite, peatmoss를 이용한 혼합배지에서 플러그의 형성율이 양호하게 나타났다. 2. 고온장일조건(20℃ 이상, 16시간의 일장)에서는 지상부생육 및 지하부발근이 양호하였으나, 외부방치구에서는 발근이 부진하고 복지가 발생하여 소괴경이 형성되었다. 3. 지상, 지하부 생체중은 생장조절제 전처리시 NAA 10mg/1 및 IAA 10mg/1 간에 차이가 없었다. 4. 삽수부위별로는 삽목묘의 초기생육은 초장에서는 비슷한 경향이었고, 그 외 엽수, 근수, 근장 등의 형질은 정단부위묘가 양호하였지만, 포장정식 후에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 5. 삽목묘를 봄재배하여 괴경형성여부를 시험한 결과 초장은 70~80cm, 복지수 10여개, 괴경수는 7~8개가 형성되었다.

A series of experiment was carried out to study on the production of disease-free seed potatoes at the Alpine Experiment Station from 1960 to 1968, which initiated a study of comparison on degeneration of plain warm region and high altitude products and the effect of latent potato virus X (PVX) and potato leaf roll virus(PLRV) on degeneration. Particular observations were made on some aspect of the nature of potato virus disease and its control such as concentrations of PVX, range of host plants, physical properties such as concentrations of PYX, range of host plants, physical properties and carrying effect of insects, by investigating 9 different areas of the main potato producing regions (Kimhae, Taegu, Choongju, Taejoen, Suwon, Kwangju, Chonju, Cheju and Chinju). Highly purified anti-serum was separated and tested for control of the virus disease and also various method of prevention and control of PLRV were observed, using cultivation of sprouted seed tubers, early harvesting method, and systemic chemicals. The results obtained are summarized as follows; 1. Potato yield in the plain region decreased by 32.8~66.3% in the first year cultivation of seed potatoes from colder region, and the rate of virus infection was 92.9 to 95.4%. 2. Plants of three families including, 20 species were susceptible to the PVX, and among the plants Salvia officinalis of a habits only was the carrier while the symptom of Digitalis purpurea of Screphulariaceae was masked. Necrosis and ring spot was occurred in most pJants of the Solanaceae and ring spot symptom also was observed in Nicotiana tabacum L. var. White Burley and in N. glutinosa. 3. The 8C2 strain of virus had the following physical properties; thermal inactivation point, 68-72~circC : dilution inactivation point, above 1, 000, 000 dilution: ageing in vitro, 240-360 days: and ageing in dry plant tissue, 30 days. 4. Myzus persicae and Oxya spp. did not transmit the 8C2 strain of potato virus. 5. Virus was purified through the ammonium sulphate isolating method, and higher titer value, 1/2048 was obtained through anti-serum test. 6. Inhibition Chenopodiacae on the virus infection of potato was remarkable, and inhibition of local lesion host also was observed. 7, By earlier planting of sprouted seed tubers, growth period could be prolonged by 10 to 12 days. 8. Earlier harvest decreased much the rate of virus infection of seed potatoes. 9. According to the results of aphid control trial using systemic soil insecticides at Kangnung and Taekwanlyung, PSP 204, Disyston and Thimet was effective to aphid control. In particular, control effect of twice treatments of PSP 204 was great. 10. Treatmental effect of those chemicals lasted about 60-70 days. However, single foliar application of emulsified chemicals was not effective to potato virus control. 11. The effect of PSP 204, Disyston, and Thimet on the control of potato leaf roll virus was great, particularly in the case of two treatments of PSP 204, at Kangnung as well as at Taekwanlyung. Higher negative correlationship between the control effect of potato leaf roll virus and potato yield was observed showing the value r=-0.85 at Kangnung, and r=-0.87 at Taekwanlyung. 12. Differences in the control effects among PSP 204, Disyston, and Thimet was not noticed.
