Abstract

This study was undertaken to learn what ratio of clipping top was the most optimum for minimizing of the decrease of root yield of over 50g in sweetpotato at early cultivation. The test variety was "Shinyulmi" which was transplanted for early cultivation on April 18. The ratios of cripping top were 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 percents. The date of clipping top was June 20 when the shoots were transplanted for double cropping. The total length of vine, the number of branches per plant, the number of tuberous roots over 50g and average root weight over 50g were not affected by clipping top. The ratio of root yield over 50g was lower over 20 percents of clipping top. The fresh weights per plant of top and bottom were similar as compared control with 15 percents of clipping top. In conclusion, the optimum ratio of clipping top was 15 percents for maximizing of the production of the shoots in sweetpotato for double cropping. cropping.

조기재배 고구마에서 2모작 재배용 묘를 생산하기 위하여 조기재배의 수량감소를 최소화하고, 2모작용 묘를 최대 생산하기 위한 최적 지상부 경엽절제에 대한 시험 결과는 다음과 같았다. 1. 무절제와 비교한 지상부 및 지하부의 생체중과 건물중은 15% 경엽절제 이하에서 수확기에 동일수준이었다. 2. 경엽절제 정도가 많아짐에 따라 지상부 경엽중의 감소는 주만장과 주만절수의 감소가 원인이었다. 3. 총저중이 20% 경엽절제까지 같은 수준이었던 것에 대하여 50g 이상의 상저중은 15% 경엽절제까지 무절제와 비교하여 동일 수준이었던 것은 경엽절제 정도가 많아짐에 따라 50g 이하의 설저의 증가로 상품화율이 감소했기 때문이었다.
