Azalea의 입실시기가 개화에 미치는 영향

아잘레아 조생종 중생종 만생종 품종을 입실시기를 달리하여 개화반응을 조사 한 결과, 저온피해는 ‘Red Beauty’에서 11월 입실부터 발생하기 시작하여 12월 및 1월 입실은 40%나 발생하였다. 모든 품종에서 9월, 10월 및 11월 입실구는 약간씩 개화가 증가하다가 다시 감소되었으며, 12월과 1월 입실구는 개화소요일수와 개화기간이 짧고 일시에 개화하는 경향을 보였다. 개화 반응을 기준으로 품종별 입실시기는 ‘Red Wing’은 1월 하순, ‘Mother’s Day’와 ‘Coral Wing’은 12월 하순이 적당하다고 판단되었다. The flowering response of azalea as influenced by forcing dates were investigated. Days to flowering and flowering period showed significant difference by different forcing dates between September and January. Cold damage was observed in ‘Red Beauty’ forced in November and 40% of ‘Red Beauty’ showed cold damage when forced in December and January. In all the test varieties, flowering was once increased and decreased in treatments forced in September, October, and November, while treatments of forcing in December and January showed characteristics of short flowering period and days to flowering all together. The forcing dates of ‘Red Wing’ was on January 26, The forcing dates of ‘Mother’s Day’ and ‘Coral Wing’ was on December 26. KCI Citation Count: 0
