표고버섯(Lentinus edodes(Berk) Sing)의 품질은 환경조건에 매우 민감하고, 특히 생산기간중의 강우에 의한 수분의 영향이 큰 것으로 알려져 있다. 대부분의 경우, 표고버섯이 강우에 의하여 젖지 않도록 하기 위하여, 강우차단용 플라스틱 필름을 사용하여 측창 환기구 이외에는 모두 밀폐시킨 재배시설을 사용하고 있다. 그러나 이와 같이 천창이 없는 재배시설의 실내온도와 습도는 불량한 환기로 인하여 상승하게 되고, 결국 생산성 및 품질을 떨어뜨리게 된다. 본 연구에서는 모델을 이용하여 개선된 표고재배시설의 천창 면적과 차광율에 따른 환기율 및 실내온도 변화를 분석하였다. 차광율이 50%에서 90%로 증가할수록 온도는 약 2.5℃ 이상의 차이를 나타냈으며 50%의 낮은 차광율에서 풍속의 영향이 크게 나타났다. 환기율은 풍속 1~2m.s-1 이상에서는 차광율에 관계없이 크게 증가하였다. 실외풍속이 0m.s-1에서 2m.s-1로 증가함에 따라 실내온도는 약 2℃이상 하강하였다. 특히, 천창개도가 커질수록 온도가 하강하였지만 개도 50%이상에서는 큰 차이가 없었다. 차광율이 낮을수록 개도 증가가 온도하강에 미치는 영향이 뚜렸하였다. 풍속 및 차광율에 무관하게 천창면적과 측창면적이 거의 동일할 때, 높은 환기효율 및 온도하강 특성을 나타내었다.

Background : This study was conducted to develop sustainable and safe ginseng cultivation facilities to cope with climate change and to save labor due to the decrease of labor force in rural areas. Methods and Results : In 2017, we designed the wide-shading facility which was unmanned and labor saving to cope with climate warming and decreasing labor force in farming area for stable and sustainable production of ginseng. The developed model is called model Ⅰ(Slope-shading facility, Gyeongsangbuk-do ARES), model Ⅱ (Slope-shading facility, Gyeonggi-do ARES) and Model Ⅲ (Roof-type shading facility, RDA, NIHHS, Department of Herbal Crop Research). The tested varieties were stem-violet variant, and the transplanting was done by using the 2-years-old seedlings on April 3, 2017 and the planting density was 90 plant/1.62㎡. A thermometer, a light meter, and a rain gauge were installed in the center of the facility on April 13, 2017 to measure the micro-weather in the facility. Micro-weather observations were made from April 14 to October 10, measuring temperature, humidity, light intensity, soil moisture content, water leakage, and wind speed. Surveys were carried out on June 20 and September 29, respectively. The maximum temperature in the facility was 2 to 3℃ lower than the outside, but the relative humidity was 2 - 3% higher in the facility than in the outside. Soil moisture did not show a clear trend among the models. The light transmittance was 5 - 10% and it was the highest in model I, where the height of the shading facility was the highest. Rain leakage was 10 - 36%, the most in model Ⅱ. The amount of leaks increased with the amount of precipitation per hour. In all models, ginseng stem and leaf were damaged due to excessive water leakage. On July 10, stem and leaf were grown well only in wide-shading facility where leakage was adequately blocked with double-sided film. The average wind speed was less than 1.6 m/s during the survey period. The maximum wind speed was 8.8 m/s or less, which did not affect the deformation of the wide-shading facility. In all models, there was no difference in growth of aboveground part and root. Conclusion : As a result, in order to grow ginseng continuously and stably using wide-shading facilities, it is considered that the amount of leakage should be minimized by using material that can prevent leakage in cope with rainfall or heavy rain rather than wind-resistance.

Background : This study researches on the microclimate, photosynthesis and growth characteristics for the development of shading materials proper for the wide and inclined ginseng cultivation facility which can respond to climate change and save labor. Methods and Results : The wide shading facilities were installed on the area of 1,000 ㎡ in 2014 and 4 facilities were installed on the test ginseng cultivation area. On Mar. 29, 2017, 2 blue shading nets [with the sun blocking rate of 85% (200 g/㎡) and 90% (220 g/㎡)] were installed each for 4 facilities. On June 26, 2017, the aluminum screen and black shading net (with the sun blocking rate of 40% each) were installed during the period of high temperature (30℃ or higher) for each facility. The maximum light intensity under the shading facility was high with blue shading net 85% and PE black shading net 40%, or blue shading net 85% and aluminum screen 40%, higher than other treatments. They were higher by 4.8 - 7.3%, 5.3 - 7.8% each in July and August. Among the coating materials for reducing the high temperature, the aluminum screen coating had less water leakage in early July, late July, mid-August and late August when the precipitation was more than 100 ㎜. The death of the aerial part of ginseng occurred less until October. The growth of the aerial part of 4-year ginseng was better in blue shading net 85% and PE black shading net 40%, blue shading net 85% and aluminum screen 40% or blue shading net 90% and PE black shading net 40% than in blue shading net 90% and aluminum screen 40% The photosynthesis rate was the highest in June with 3.67 μmol CO2/㎡/s under the blue shading net 90% and aluminum screen 40% and with 3.55 μmol CO2/㎡/s under blue shading net 85% and PE black shading net 40% for K-1. As for the land races ginseng, it was the highest with 3.55 μmol CO2/㎡/s under the blue shading net 85% and PE black shading net 40%. For the growth of the underground part of the 4-year ginseng, the blue shading net 85% + PE black shading net 40% or the blue shading net 85% + aluminum screen 40% was the best with respect to the growth of the ground part of the ginseng such as the length of root, the length of main root, diameter of root and weight of root than other treatment. Conclusion : Best coating materials for the wide shading facilities are the blue shading net 85% and aluminum screen 40%.

Background : The study is designed to establish the standard of wide-shading facilities for the energy-saving and labor-free system in response to the shortage of manpower in rural areas by introducing North American style Ginseng cultivation facility. Methods and Results : This study was carried out at the Income & Resources Research Institute, Gyeonggi Agricultural Research & Extension Services, located in Shinseo-myeon, Yeoncheon-gun, Gyeonggi-do in 2015 in order to establish the standards for wide-shading facilities for energy-saving and labor-free system in response to Korea's climate and lack of manpower in rural area. The shading materials used were blue shading net made with coolaroo fabric, aluminum screen (shading rate 40%) and black shading net (shading rate 40%). As for the installation of additional shading materials, the blue shading nets (200 g/㎡ and 220 g/㎡) were installed on Apr. 1, and then the aluminum screens and black shading net were installed on Jun. 1 when it was hot (with the outside temperature of 30℃ or above. To determine the suitability of the shading materials, the growth environment in the shading facilities such as temperature and humidity, light quantity, and water leakage were measured. The growth was investigated for the above-ground part and underground part of the plants in accordance with the research standards of the Rural Development Administration (RDA). As for the temperature in the shading facilities, the temperature in the aluminum screen was higher than that of the black shading net, and the humidity in the aluminum screen was lower than that of the black shading net. The light intensity and transmittance were higher in the aluminum screen than those in the black shading net. The water leakage was absent on aluminum screen, but it was 8.1 - 11.5% in the black shading net. Although the growth of shoots above the ground showed no difference between shading materials, the growth of the shoot underground was better in the black shading net than in the aluminum screen in high temperature. In particular, the weight of Ginseng root increased by 19.1% in the black light shade compared to that of the aluminum screen. Conclusion : The results of the study showed that the combination of shading materials suitable for wide shading facilities in Korea in response to the lack of manpower in rural areas due to climate change and rural aging is the combination of "blue shading net + black shading net".

Background : Ginseng is a semi-shade plant which prefers cool temperature and mild lighting, and artificially installed shading facility is required from preventing photo-oxidation occurrence when ginseng is exposed to direct sunlight. High temperature damages are commonly noticed due to recent global warming although more farmers are using aluminum foil and blue light-proof screen instead of 4-layered polyethylene shade net (blue 3 + black 1) to prevent the rise in temperature and influx of rainwater, there are insufficient research conducted. Methods and Results : In mid-March, 2015, we have installed steel A type shading facility after transplanting 2-year-old domestic variety ginseng in 7 lines, 10 rows per 3.3㎡. We have prevented the excessive influx of direct light by fixing 4-layered shade net, aluminum foil and blue light-proof screen as shading materials on facilities and adding 2-layered black polyethylene shade net. During July and August with high temperature, light transmission rates have shown varying according to shading materials used: blue light-proof screen (8.4%) > aluminum foil (5.9%) > 4-layered shade net (3.3%). In case of the highest temperature reached, the order followed blue light-proof screen (42.3℃) > 4-layered shade net (40.8℃) > aluminum foil (38.3℃), and in case of average temperature it followed blue light-proof screen (48.7%) > 4-layered shade net (37.6%) > aluminum foil (33.2%). Although there were no difference about leaf area among the shading materials, ginseng leaf grown in aluminum foil has lower chlorophyll content than the other two treatment plot because of photooxidation by light damage. The 3-yr-old ginseng root weight harvested in end of October increased as follows light-proof screen (14.4g) > 4-layered shade net (11.9g) > aluminum foil (9.8g). Conclusion : Aluminum foil showed greater influx of light but lower temperature than 4-layered shade net due to its materialistic character. However the front side of foil can reflect light and cause photo-oxidation of rear-planted ginseng leaves, so it is a need for improvement. In case of blue light-proof screen, although it had higher inside temperature, the root weight of ginseng was the heaviest because of less influx of light and destruction of chlorophyll.
