저장온도 및 필름처리가 묘삼의 생장과 품질에 미치는 영향

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of storage temperature 0, −2, and −4°C on growth and quality of ginseng seedlings for 10 months to cultivate ginseng sprouts. The effects of 50 μm functional low density polyethylene (LDPE) containing 5% zeolite and pegmatite and 80 μm nylon/polyethylene (Ny/PE) films on the storage of the ginseng seedlings were also investigated. The quality of the seedlings was visually inspected every two months and the growth of the sprouts investigated. After 4 months of storage, the growth and quality of the sprouts showed significant differences, which was the effect of the storage temperature. The growth of healthy ginseng sprouts were 58.3% at 0°C, 72.1% at −2°C, and 34.2% at −4°C. After storing the ginseng seedling for 8 months, a growth of 9.7% at 0°C, 54.3% at −2°C, and 6.9% at −4°C was observed. The ginseng seedlings were packaged with functional and Ny/PE films and the growth of the sprouts determined after 8 months of storage at −2°C. A growth rate of 56.7% was achieved using the functional film; however, no live ginseng seedlings were observed upon applying the Ny/PE film.
