폐양액을 이용한 관비재배가 머스크 멜론과 오이의 생육에 미치는 영향

Waste nutrient solution(WNS) using non-recycled hydroponics for melon increased contents of NO₃-N and cataions, such as, Ca, K, while anions except NO₃-N were decreased slightly as the musk melon plants grew. pH and EC of WNS were maintained 5.7~7.0, 2.0~2.2 dSㆍm?¹, respectively. The musk melon plants cultivated by fertigation using WNS showed longer plant height and root length, and higher chlorophyll content than that grown by hydroponics. The fruit weight of musk melon grown by fertigation using WNS were 417.1 g heavier than that cultivated by hydroponics and soluble solids contents of musk melon fruit cultivated by fertigation using WNS was 13.3˚Brix, that was 1.4˚Brix higher than that grown by hydro-ponies. While the growth of cucumber plants and size of cucumber fruits were not different between in fertigation using WNS and hydroponics, total yields and marketable fruit percentage showed more in fertigation using WNS than in hydroponics.
