딸기는 세계적으로 중요하고 인기있는 과채류이며 ‘설향’은 국내 시장에서 재배되고 있는 주요 품종 중 하나이다. 딸기의 생장과 화아 유도는 이 작물의 과실에 수량에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 과정이다. 본 연구에서는 벤질아데닌(BA), 지베렐린 산(GA3), 살리실 산(SA)이 ‘설향’ 딸기의 생장과 화아 유도에 미치는 영향 을 조사하였다. 21구 트레이에서 번식된 지 3주가 경과한 런너묘를 온도는 25oC/15oC(주간/야간), 상대습도는 70%, 광원은 백색 LED, 광도는 300 μmol·m-2·s-1 PPFD로 유지되는 생장 챔버에서 재배하였다. BA, GA3 및 SA를 각 0(대조구), 100, 200 mg·L-1로 런너묘에 처리하였다. 이러한 생장조절제를 런너묘의 잎에 2주 간격으로 2회 엽면살포하였다. 9주 후의 생육을 비교한 결과, 생장조절제를 엽면살포한 모든 처리에서 대조구에 비해 근장과 엽록소함량(SPAD)이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. GA3 처리에서 엽록소함량(SPAD)이 가장 낮았다. 하지만 GA3 200 mg·L-1 처리에서 엽면적, 잎 생체중, 식물 생체중이 증가하였다. 화아유도율과 화수는 SA 200 mg·L-1 처리에서 각 85%와 식물체당 4.3개로 가장 높았고 그 다음으로 SA 200 mg·L-1 처리에서 높았다. 전체적으로 GA3 처리에서 식물 생장을 향상시켰고, SA 처리에서는 개화를 촉진하였다. 더 나아가 GA3와 SA를 혼합한 처리를 추가한 연구를 수행하여 생장조절제간의 관계를 구명하고 그 결과에서의 분자 메커니즘과 관련된 반응을 조사하는 것이 필요하다고 판단된다.

Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande and F. intonsa Trybom (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) are polyphagous insect pests on numerous crops. These two species reduce the crop production in two ways: by sucking sap from the plant parts and by serving as vectors for tospoviruses. In this study, we tried to confirm the previous observation of F. intonsa dominance on certain crops during recent years. Thrips populations were examined on greenhouse strawberry by installing circular yellow sticky cards with black background and on field pepper by destructive sampling of pepper flowers during season of 2012 in Songcheon, Andong. Eighty two to 92% and 3-5% of thrips collected from the both crops were F. intonsa and F. occidentalis respectively. Frankliniella. intonsa was 4-8 times more abundant than F. occidentalis in sticky cards and on pepper flowers. In conclusion, asymmetrical dominance of F. intonsa was found both in strawberry and pepper plant as we found in past on those crops. Underlying reasons such as interspecific competition and climate change were discussed.

본 연구는 딸기 ‘설향’ 품종의 화방별 착과순서에 따른 과중 및 당도의 변화를 조사하여 각 화방별로 착과량 조절 기준의 타당성을 검정하고자 하였다. 1화방은 2, 3화방에 비하여 착과수, 과중, 당도, 대과성 과실의 비율이 높았다. 동일 화방 내에서도 상위 과실은 하위에 착과된 과실보다 과중이 증가하였고 당도도 높았다. 과실의 과중이 증가할수록 당도가 증가하여 과중과 당도는 높은 정의 상관관계를 보였다. 설향 품종의 각 화방별 적정 착과수는 1화방 9∼10개, 2화방 6개, 3화방 4개, 4화방 3개 정도 착과시키는 것이 상품 수량을 증가시킬 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Chrysanthemum flower model trap (CFMT) developed to attract the flower thrips was evaluated for its optimal trap density that is required to manage the population of flower thrips in a strawberry greenhouse. CFMTs were installed in different rates per unit area (10m×5m), i.e., control (no trap), low (5 traps), medium (10 traps), and high (20 traps), in three different strawberry greenhouses at Namhoo, Andong. From each plot, 10 flowers were sampled every week from 16 May 2008 to 6 June 2008. Five traps were also randomly collected from each plot every week to record the number of flower thrips trapped. The seasonal number of both female and male thrips collected in the flowers was significantly lower in the plots with high density of traps compared to the control. In the plot with medium level of traps, less seasonal number of male F. intonsa were found in the strawberry flowers compared to the plot with low level of traps or control. When the numbers of thrips in the flowers were plotted against the numbers of thrips trapped in the CFMTs, significant correlation was found in female thrips only. However, there was no significant difference in seasonal number of male and female thrips trapped in the CFMTs randomly collected from the plots among the treatments. In conclusion CFMT used in medium or high density in the strawberry greenhouse reduced infestation of F. intonsa in the flowers and can be a good addition to integrated pest management tactics against anthophilous thrips.

Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is economically important pest of various crops causing damage through direct feeding and transmitting tospoviruses. In a previous study differential responses of the thrips to various geometrical patterns of yellow sticky card were found. Therefore, in this study, we compared the behavioral responses of the thrips to visual and olfactory cues in cylindrical black box and Y-tube olfactometer, respectively. Multiple or pair wise choice tests were carried out among/between six geometrical patterns of yellow color paper and artificial flowers. The thrips preferred circular shape to other geometrical patterns in multiple choice test. In pair wise choice test between three geometrical patterns, i.e., circular, rectangle, and modified circular, and artificial strawberry flowers, the thrips showed preference to the yellow artificial flower than any other cues. The thrips resided on the yellow artificial flower almost 4 times more than other patterns. In Y-tube olfactometer test, higher number of the thrips chose the arm with p-anisaldehyde and artificial flower compared to the arm with only the artificial flower. Higher number of the thrips also chose the arm containing both visual and real flower odor as compared to arm with the only real flower odor. The potentials and application of these results in the development of attraction traps for the thrips management have been discussed.
