양질의 사료작물 소재로서 국내 재배기술에 대한 재배기준이 설정되어 있지 않은 케나프를 2012~2013년 2년 동안 시험처리를 통하여 파종법을 구명한 결과 케나프의 파종방법은 기계화 파종(옥수수 파종기 사용)이 가능한 점파가 수량 증가에 적합하였는데 파종거리를 $20{\times}20cm$ 로 할 경우 관행 $20{\times}30cm$ 처리에 비해 수량이 32% 증가한 13,641 kg/10a가 가능하였다. 케나프의 최대수량 확보를 위한 적정 파종시기는 5월 1일 이었는데 5월 1일 파종의 경우 생체수량 13,423 kg/10a로 5월 30일 파종 대비 30%가 증수되었고 조단백질 함량도 12.7%로 5월 30일 대비 16.5% 증가하였다. 제초제는 Fluazipof-p-butyl 사용이 가장 효율적이었는데 제초율이 97% 이었고 약해는 5% 이하로 안정적이었다. 케나프의 전북지역 적응성을 임실, 고창, 순창 등 3개 지역에서 확인한 결과 모두 안정적으로 재배가 가능함이 확인되었는데 3개 지역 평균 수량이 12,400 kg/10a로 옥수수에 비해 약 1.7 배 정도 수확하는 것이 가능하였다. 【Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) was recognized as a potential source of forage. But the domestic cultivation techniques are not set standards yet. So we tested the basic culture techniques during 2012~2013 for getting a high yield and good grade forage production system. The best seeding method for mechanized planting (corn planter used) was hill seeding with $20{\times}20cm$ seeding distance. When we treated hill seeding with $20{\times}20cm$ , the yield what we could get was 13,641 kg/10a and it was 32% more than that of conventional practice hill seeding with $20{\times}30cm$ seeding distance. The proper seeding date for getting high yield was May 1. In May 1, the yield per 10a was reached 13,423 kg, and it was 30% more than that of seeding at May 30. More over the crude protein content which was important factor for determinating forage nutritive value was 12.7% and it was higher 1.8% (relatively 16.5% high) than that of May 30 seeding. The most effective herbicide for kenaf was Fluazipof-p-butyl. It's herbicidal rate was 97% and phyto-toxicity was less than 5%. Regional adaptability for Jeollabuk-Do including Imsil Gun, Kochang Gun and Sunchang Gun were identified that the stable cultivation were possible in these area with average yield 12,400 kg/10a and it was about 1.7 times as compared to corn harvest.】
