‘거봉’ 포도에 환상박피를 처리한 후 과실 품질과 내한성의 변화를 조사하였다. 환상박피는 지상 10cm 상단의 주간에 너비 1cm로 처리하였으며 만개후 90일과 110일에 수확하여 과실 품질을 비교하였다. 환상박피를 처리한 경우 착색이 빠르게 진행되어 1차 수확율이 무처리보다 높았으며 또한 최종 수확시 착색도도 무처리구보다 높아 착색촉진 및 증진 효과를 확인할 수 있었으나 2차년도에는 착색증진 효과가 저하되는 것으로 조사되었다. 품질면에서는 처리구와 무처리구 간에 차이를 보이지 않았으나 열과 발생은 환상박피 처리구에서 감소하는 효과가 나타났다. 반면에 환상박피 처리시 수세가 떨어지고 겨울철 동해피해를 심하게 받는 것으로 조사되었으며 3년간 연속으로 처리한 후에는 대부분이 고사하였다. 착색을 증진시킬 목적으로 환상박피를 처리하는 경우 첫해에는 효과가 나타나지만 이듬해의 연속된 처리에는 착색증진 효과도 점점 낮아지며 특히 계속될 경우 생육부진 또는 고사 등이 진행될 수 있기 때문에 ‘거봉’에서의 연속적인 환상박피는 피해야 할 재배방법으로 확인되었다.The effects of girdling on fruit quality and cold resistance of ‘Kyoho’ grapes were investigated. Girdling treatment was conducted on the trunk at 10 cm above ground with 1 cm width and grapes were harvested at 90 and 110 days after full bloom to compare the fruit quality. First harvesting rate in girdling treatment was higher than that in non-girdling treatment and coloration was also higher in girdled vines at the final harvest. In other words, coloring process of grape was promoted and enhanced by girdling, but this effect of coloring improvement was decreased after successive girdling treatment. Fruit quality showed no difference between the treated and non-treated berries, but fruit cracking rate was lower in girdled treated berries. Girdled trees were weakened and suffered from freezing damage. Especially, most grapevines withered up after being girdled for three consecutive years. Although girdling had effect on improving the berry coloring significantly, the effect wore off with continuous girdling. And it was possible that consecutive girdling leaded to wither and growth suppression especially in grapevines. These adverse effects may make the continuous girdling technique unsuitable in practice for ‘Kyoho’ grape.
