본 연구는 시설양묘 용기에서 직근성 수종인 찰피나무 유묘의 생육상황 및 뿌리발달 형태를 탐구하기 위하여 5개월 간 플라스틱 온실에서 수행되었다. 공시용기로 사용된 플라스틱 망 용기와 일반 플라스틱 용기에서 생육한 용기묘의 수고생장 차이는 크지 않았으나, 근원경 생장은 플라스틱 망 용기에서 높게 나타났다. 플라스틱 망 용기는 묘목의 뿌리발달에 영향을 끼쳐 묘목의 뿌리발달을 촉진시켰으며, 전체 지하부의 건물생산량을 증가시켰다. 특히 플라스틱 망 용기묘에서는 적극적으로 유도된 공기단근에 의하여 나선형 뿌리가 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 본 실험에 사용된 플라스틱망 용기는 찰피나무 용기묘 생산에 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 이 용기에서 생산된 묘목은 다양한 식재지 환경에서 식재될 경우 활착율 증가는 물론 생장율 증가도 보일 것으로 생각된다.

This study was carried out in order to investigate the early growth and root development characteristics of Peucedanum japonicum container seedlings. The experiment was performed by containers (128 and 200 cavities containers) and shading levels (0%, 35%, 50% and 75% shading). Germination rate of P. japonicum seeds was getting higher in the lower shading level and the highest in the full sunlight (71.9%). Plant height was the highest under 50% shading of all containers. Fresh weight and dry weight of the shoot (leaves + stem) were the highest under 50% shading of all containers, too. Meanwhile, fresh weight and dry weight of the root per plant were the highest under the full sunlight of 128 cavities container such as 0.34 g and 0.03 g, respectively. Total root length, root project area and root surface area were higher under the full sunlight of 128 cavities container such as 234.5 cm, 6.6cm2 and 20.8cm2, respectively and the next higher was under 35% shading such as 201.7 cm, 5.9cm2 and 18.4cm2, respectively. A case of root volume was the highest with 0.15cm3 under the full sunlight. As a result of the surveying the whole experiment, it is concluded that the shoot and root of P. japonicum seedling grow nicely by maintaining 35% shading.
