임도를 비롯한 각종 훼손지 비탈면에서 종자뿜어붙이기 공법에 의한 녹화효과를 제고하기 위해서 참싸리, 낭아초, 새, 켄터키 블루그래스, 페러니얼 라이그래스를 재료로 하여 종자피복 및 복토 여부에 따른 종자발아 및 유묘의 생장특성을 조사하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 모든 시험식물에서 종자의 피복처 리는 무피복에 비해 복토파종과 겉뿌림에서 모두 종자의 발아율을 향상시 켰다. 종자피복에 의해 전체 평균 발아율은 복토파종과 겉뿌림에서 각각 11.2%와 21.4% 향상되었다. 또한 발아세는 식물종과 처리에 따라 $0.8{sim}3.7$일 단축시켰고, LD50은 $0.8{sim}2.6$일 단축시키는 효과가 있었다. 그러나 모든 시험식물에서 종자피복에 의해 발아개시 일은 1일 이 내에서 지연되었다. 2. 종자피복은 식물의 지상부와 뿌리의 생장을 촉진시키는 효과가 있었다. 즉 종자피복에 의해 전체 평균 지상부생장은 복토파종과 겉뿌림에서 각각 21.7%와 34.8%향상되었고, 전체 평균 뿌리 생장은 복토파종과 겉뿌림에서 각각 22.0%와 26.2% 향상되었다. 3. 피복종자를 복토파종한 것은 겉뿌림 에 비해 발아 개시 일을 평균 1.3일 지 연시 켰으나, 발아율을 평균 5%향상시켰고, 발아세와 LD50을 각각 1.0일과 1.4일 단축시켰다. 그러나 종자피복에 의한 종자발아와 유묘생장의 향상효과는 복토파종에서보다 겉뿌림에서 더 크게 나타났다. 4.종자 피복재료 중에서는Vermiculite+Talcum가 시험식물의 종자발아와 유묘생장에 있어서 가장 효과가 좋았다. Bentonite, Calcium Carbonate, Calcium Hydroxide을 이용한 종자피복도 무피복에 비해 좋은 효과를 나타내었다. 5. 5종의 시험식물 가운데서 종자피복을 통한 발아향상효과는 낭아초에서, 유묘생장 촉진효과는 참싸리에서 가장 크게 나타났다. 즉 크기가 작은 초본류의 종자보다는 크기가 큰 목본류의 종자에서 종자픽복의 효과가 크게 나타났다. 6. 따라서 종자뿜어붙이기 공법으로 파종한 후에 복토를 할 수 없는 훼손지 비탈면에서는 녹화용 식물의 종자를 Vermiculite+Talcum 등으로 피복하여 파종함으로써 안정적 인 조기녹화를 실현할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
Recently, there is increasing demand on enhancing the efficiency of hydro-seed spraying in afforestation for damaged or degraded land including forest road slopes. In this study, we focus on how seed coating and molding may affect seed germination and seedling growth. Plant species used in the study are Lespedeza cyrtobotrya, Indigofera pseudotinctoria, Arudineila hirta, Poa pratensis, and Lolium perenne. The results of seed germination and seedling growth with and without seed coating and molding are analyzed as follows: 1. For all the species and in both seeding with molding covered with soil and seeding without molding in which seeds were over sown, the increment of germination ratio by seed coating method is greater than by non·coating one. Seed coating increases average germination ratios observed in seeding with molding and without molding by 11.2% and 21.4%, respectively. Germination force may decrease from 0.8 to 3.7 days depending on the plant species and the treatments. The $LD_{50}$ decreased by $0.8{sim}2.6$ days. However, seed coating delays the start of germination by approximate 1 day for all of the observed plants. 2. Seed coating may have the effect of accelerating the growth of stem and leaf and root. The experimental result shows that seed coating leads to 21.7% and 34.8% increment of average stem and leaf growth by seeding with molding and without molding, respectively. In terms of root growth, seeding with molding results in 22.0% increment while seeding without molding produces 26.2% increased root growth. 3: Compared to seeding without molding, germination starts on an average of 1.3 days later in seeding coated seeds with molding. However. the germination ratio is increased by 5%, and germination force and $LD_{50}$ are observed to shorten by 1.0 day and 1.4 days, respectively. Meanwhile, whether seeds are coated or not may be more related with germination and seedling growth in seeding without molding than with those in seeding with molding. 4. In this study, coating materials are examined to look at which ones are better in each treatment. Coating with Vermiculite+Talcum is the most effective in germination and seedling growth for overall plants. Seed coating using Bentonite, Calcium Carbonate, and Calcium Hydroxide shows better results than non-coating does. 5. When seeds are coated, the greatest enhancement of seed germinations was observed in Indigofera pseudotinctoria and, in the case of seedling growth, Lespedeza cyrtobotrya has the most increasing observation value among the 5 examined species. These results may indicate that woody plant seeds, having greater sizes of seeds than ones of grass seeds, may have greater relation with seed coating than grass plant seeds may have. 6. Therefore, if seeds cannot be molded up after hydro-seeding on forest road slopes, it is recommended that seeds for restoration be pre-coated with Vermiculite+Talcum and then be sowed, in order to quickly stabilize the damaged slope and achieve successful afforestation.
