본 연구는 부산지역의 비가림하우스에서 오크라의 정식시기와 수량에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 수행되었다. 오크라의 품종은 ‘적오크라’, ‘그린소드’, ‘마루미짱’, ‘베타화이브’, ‘아카마루미짱’ 등 5개 품종을 이용하여 6월과 7월에 정식을 실시하였다. 오크라의 초장과 절간장은 품종간에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 6월에 정식한 처리구에서 오크라의 초장과 절간장은 ‘아카마루미짱’ 품종에서 가장 길었으며, ‘베타화이브’ 품종에서 가장 짧았다. 반면, 7월에 정식한 처리구에서는 품종 간에 생육의 차이가 없었다. 오크라 과실의 수량은 정식시기에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 오크라의 녹색 과실의 수량은 6월 정식에서 ‘베타화이브’ 품종이 4,286kg/10a으로 가장 많았다. 또한, 녹색 오크라 품종은 6월 정식의 경우 ‘그린소드’ 품종과 ‘베타화이브’ 품종에서 수량성이 좋았으며, ‘마루미짱’ 품종은 수량성이 낮았다. 따라서, 부산 지역 비가림재배에서 정식시기는 6월 초순에 정식하는 것이 적합하였다.

Maize is expected to be planted in June after harvest of winter barley for the double cropping of forage maize-barley. But maize yield tends to be reduced rapidly with late planting after mid-May, so the pre-requisite of maize variety for the double cropping of maize-barley is less reduction of growth and yield at the condition of late planting in June. In order to select domestic forage maize variety adapted to late planting in June after barley harvest, Kwangpyeong-ok, Gangda-ok and Jangda-ok in 2007 and Kwangpyeong-ok, Gangda-ok and Cheongan-ok in 2008 were planted on June 13 and June 21, and plant growths and yields were compared with early planting on April 24 and May 31, respectively. In 2007, Ear number per plant was as high as 0.98 at Kwangpyeong-ok compared to 0.89 and 0.56 of Gangda-ok and Jangda-ok, respectively, at late planting on June 13. TDN and grain yield of Kwangpyeong-ok were the highest among three variety as 1,037 and 710 kg/10a, and yield reduction of Kwangpyeong-ok compared to early planting were 24% and 28 %, which were 7% and 8% lower than Gangda-ok and 22% and 50% lower than Jangda-ok, respectively. In 2008, TDN and grain yield at late planting on June 21 of Kwangpyeong-ok were also the highest among three varieties as 1,157 and 854 kg/10a at late planting on June 24, and yield reduction of Kwangpyeong-ok by late planting were 21% and 19%, which were 10% and 11% lower than Gangda-ok and 22% and 50% lower than Jangda-ok, respectively. It was concluded that proper maize variety adapted to late planting for the double cropping of forage maize-barley was Kwangpyeong-ok because of its higher ear bearing, less reduction of TDN and grain yields at the condition of late planting.
