This study was conducted to investigate contents of inorganic constituents, free sugars and catalpol in the Rhizoma of Rehmannia glutinosa as different growth stages. With the approach of harvesting season, the variations of their contents were as follow. The contents of P, K, Ca, Mg, Cu and ash in the Rhizoma decreased, whereas the contents of Fe, water and ethanol extract increased. The contents of total sugar, sucrose and galactose in the Rhizoma decreased, but the fructose and catalpol contents in the Rhizoma were increased.

This experiment was carried out to clarify the effects of planting date and mulching material on the yield characters and tuber yields of Rehmannia glutionsa LIBOSC HIZ on experimental fields of Chungbuk Provincial Rural Development Administration from 1985 to 1987. Emergence period had no difference among planting dates, but it was late about 10 days in rice straw mulching compared with that of others. Leaf length and width showed no differences among planting dates and mulching materials, and no. of fresh leaves was decreased in the order of April 25, May 10 and April 10 with planting dates. Sugar content of tuber was highest on May 10 planting and in open fields. Tuber yield increased 8% on April 25 planting and it decreased 2% on May 10 planting compared with April 10 planting. The white P. E. mulching and rice straw mulching brought yield increase as 22% and 17%, respectively, compared with that from the open field.
