본 연구는 1991년부터 1992년까지 2개년간 경상북도 농촌진흥원 특용작물 시험포장에서 풍기종과 의성종을 공시하여 채종시기와 종자 후숙방법별 100립중과 출현율을 경시적으로 조사한 바 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 풍기종은 의성종에 비해 100립중이 무거운 대립 종이었는데 두 품종 모두 7월 25일경 100립중이 최대가 되었고 이후 점차 감소되어 7월 25일 이후 종자가 등숙되는 시기로 판단되었다. 2. 채종시기에 따른 출현율은 풍기종이 7월 5일 채종한 종자에서 7.8%의 출현율을 나타내었고 의성종은 10일정도 늦었는데 두 품종 모두 8월 15일 채종에서 평균 출현율은 풍기종이 96.7%, 의성종은 94.0%로 가장 높았다. 3. 종실채종과 협실채종에서 후숙시킨 것은 후숙시키지 않고 즉시 파종한 것 보다 출현율이 높았는데 특히, 7월 5일${sim}$8월 5일 사이의 조기 채종에서 출현율이 높고 8월(月) 15일(日) 이후 채종에서 일정한 경향은 없었다. 또한 종실 및 협실 후숙에 있어서 7월 5일과7월 15일 채종한 것은 10일간 후숙한 것보다 $20{sim}30$일 후숙시킨 것이 출현율이 약간 높은 경향이고 7월 25일 이후 채종에서는 차이를 볼 수 없었다.
This study was carried out to identify the effect of seed gathering time and after-ripening on Paeonia lactiflora Pall (PL) seed emergence, and to establish optimal seed gathering time and sowing time. We used two local cultivar of PL ; Punggi and Uisung. Seeds were gathered 6 times from 5th July to 25th August in 1992. The seeds of Punggi local cultivar were planted by the planting density of $10;{ imes};15cm$ after treatment of 7 ways ; without after-ripening, with after-ripening for 10, 20, 30 days without or with capsule. We investigated the change of 100 grains weight of PL seed by the passage of time and emergence rate after treatment. The seed weight of Punggi was heavier than that of Uisung and the seed weight was maximzed at 25th July both of the two, and then decreased by the passage of time. The seed emergence rate of Punggi gathered at 5th July was showed 7.8% and the seed emergence of Uisung was later 10 days than that of Punggi. The maximum emergence rate of two local cultivars was the highest in gathering the seeds on the 15th of August. In gathering the seeds without and with capsule, the emergence rate of seeds sowed with after-ripening was higher than that of seeds sowed immediately after gathering the seeds without after-ripening when the seeds gathered between 5th July and 5th August. In after-ripening with out and with capsule, the emergence rate of 10 days after-ripening seeds was less than that of 20 and 30 days after-ripening seeds after the seeds gathered on the 5th and 15th of July. Difference of the emergence rate of seeds by after-ripening time did not show when the seeds gathered after 25th July.
