Abstract

A nutrient solution culture experiment was conducted in the greenhouse of Suwon Campus, Kyung-Hee University from May 22 to July 10, 1995, to determine the effects of sulful application on seedling growth of Kwanganok and Hwengsungok cultivars of corn. Plants were harvested at weekly interval for seven weeks, at which time plant height, leaf area and dry matter yield of corn seedling were measured. Sulfer was treated with $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ so that sulfur concentrations of cultural solution are 0, 68, 136 and 204ppm for treatments of without sulfer(-S), control(C), twofold concentration(2S) of control and threefold contration(3S) of control, respectively. The plant height, leaf area and dry matter yield during the seven weeks of Kwanganok cultivar was decreased in order of C>2S>3S>-S, 2S>C>3S>-S and 2S>3S>C>-S application pot, respectively. In Hwengsungok cultivar, those were decreased in order of C>-S>3S>2S, C>3S>2S>-S and C>3S>-S>2S application pot, respectively. The total plant height, leaf area and dry matter yield during the whole period of Kwanganok and Hwengsungok cultivars were decreased in the seedling grown under without sulfur treatment compared with the other sulfur treatments. In Hwengsungok cultivar, plant height, leaf area and dry matter yield of seedlings were increased more in control sulfur treatment pot than the other sulfur treatment pot during the whole period. The crop growth rates of seedling of both cultivars in all treatments were slowly increased until the 3th week after planting and its were showed up and down CGR's thereafter, but Hwengsungok cultivar with C treatment pot maintained a steady increase in CGR until the end of the experiment period.

다양필수원소(多量必須元素)중의 하나인 유황(硫黃)이 옥수수의 초기생육에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 1995년(年) 5월(月) 22일(日) 부터 1995년(年) 7월(月) 10일(日)까지 경희대학교(慶熙大學校) 수원(水原)캠퍼스 온실(溫室)에서 옥수수 광안옥 품종(品種)과 횡성옥 품종(品種)을 공시재료(供試材料)로 하여 7주간 양액재배로 실시하였다. 유황 시비처리는 양액에 $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$를 첨가하여 조절하되 양액중 유황농도는 무류황구(無硫黃區)(-S)가 0ppm, 대조구(對照區)(C)가 68ppm, 2배시용구(倍施用區)(2S)가 136ppm, 3배시용구(倍施用區)(3S)가 204ppm이 되도록 하였다. 파종후(播種後) 매주(每週)마다 옥수수의 초장(草長), 엽면적(葉面積), 건물중(乾物重)을 조사(調査)한 결과(結果)를 보면 7주간(週間)의 생육(生育)에 있어서 광안옥 품종(品種)의 초장(草長)은 C>2S>3S>-S구(區), 엽면적(葉面積)은 2S구(區)>C구(區)>3S구(區)>-S구(區), 그리고 건물중(乾物重)은 2S구(區)>3S구(區)>C구(區)>-S구(區) 순(順)으로 신장하였고 횡성옥 품종(品種)에 있어서 초장(草長)은 C구(區)>-S구(區)>3S구(區)>2S구(區), 엽면적(葉面積)은 C구(區)>3S구(區)>2S구(區)>-S구(區), 건물중(乾物重)은 C구(區)>3S구(區)>-S구(區)>2S구(區) 순(順)으로 증가(增加)하였다. 전실험기간(全實驗期間)동안 초장(草長), 엽면적(葉面積), 건물중(乾物重)을 통합한 결과(結果)는 두 품종(品種) 공히 무류황시용구(無硫黃試用區)(-S)에서 가장 저조(低調) 하였고 횡성옥 품종(品種)에서는 C구(區)가 가장 증가(增加)하였다. 작물생장율(作物生長率)(CGR)은 두 품종(品種) 모두 파종후(播種後)부터 3주(週)까지는 완만(緩慢)한 증가(增加)를 보이다가 파종후(播種後) 4주(週)째부터는 증감(增減)이 크게 교차(交叉) 현상을 보였지만 횡성옥 품종(品種)의 C구(區)는 계속 증가(增加)하였다.
