Seven year old ginseng was investigated for yield , the relationship between yield and percent missing plant and red ginseng quality. Yield was 2.06 kg/kan (3.3 m2) and percent missing plant was 27.1%. The highest yield plot showed 3.58 kg/kan and potential yield appeared to be 4.5 kg/kan. Yields of 1st, End and 3rd line showed significant negative linear correlation with percent missing plant. Potential yield without missing plant was in decreasing order of 1>2)3>5) 4 and negatively correlated with unit yield decrease per percent missing plant. Potential yield of 1st line was 6.56 kg/tan. Soft X-ray absorbtion characteristics was not different from that of 6 year old ginseng. Red ginseng grade and percent occurence of red ginseng quality factors were not different from those of 6 years old ginseng. The weight of red ginseng per root was much greater than that of 6 years ginseng. In view of yield and quality of fresh and red ginseng the production of red ginseng from 7 years old ginseng appears to be economically feasible.

A study was made to clarify the topographical. and Physical characteristics of ginseng field in terms of soil science and to find the relationship between soil characteristics and ginseng growth, as well as yield of ginseng roots Forty nine farmer's red ginseng field of ginseng growing area were chosen for this study and investigated for two years. The results obtained were as follow. 1. Ginseng fie1ds with high yield which represent the more than 1.8kg of ginseng root per 3.2m2 were found in soil series of Bancheon, Yeongog, Weongog, etc. whose texture were the clay loam to clay soil. On the other hand, ginseng field with low yield were observed in soil series of seogto whose texture was loamy soil with high content of gravels. 2 Soil of ginseng field with high yield had higher content of clay. silt soil moisture and soil pore as compared with soils of low yields. These soil characteristics were positively correlated with stem length stem diameter and root weight of ginseng plsnt and negatively correlated with rate of missing plant 3. The adequate ranges of soil 3 phase from high yield ginseng field were 40 to 50% of solid Phase, 22 to 35% of liquid phase, 25 to 35% of gaseous phase in top soil and 45 to 55% of solid phase. 28 to 30% of liquid phase. 15 to 20% of gaseous phase in subsoil respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of growth characteristics and mineral contents of ginseng seedling grown in different locations on ginseng growth and root yield. Ginseng seedling produced in 16 farmers' field at the semi-Yangjik seedbed were planted and cultivated in a field with same cultural practices. Missing plant was increased with increased year of ginseng age, especially severe at 5-year-old ginseng. Rate of missing plant was different among the origins of the seedling, even with the same weights. Negative correlation was noted between the missing rate of 3-year-old ginseng plants and NH4-N content of the seedling, but positive correlation between the missing rate and K2O and Ca contents of the seedling. Root yield of 6-year-old ginseng was also affected by the origins of ginseng seedlings. Root yield was high in ginseng plant from 0.6∼0.9 g see dings compared to those from over 0.9 g seedlings.

Effect of rice hull mulching and peat application on seedling yield of Panax ginseng was investigated in modified Yang-jig seedbed. Mulching and peat increased soil moisture content but effect was not additive. Seedling yield was positively correlated with magnesium organic matter, potassium especially with soil moisture and calcium. Straw mulching is expected to be superior for practice.

This study was conducted to know the elects of light intensity of polyethylene net shading on the growth status, photosynthesis and root yield of ginseng plants. Polyethylene net shading of loft transmittance was the best one among light intensities of polyethylene net used in view of photosynthesis and decreasing of early leaf defoliation. According to increase of light intensity under the shading chlorophyll contents of ginseng leaves were decreased. As it was increased over 2 mg/g Photosynthesis and total saponin of leaves showed on the decrease remarkably. The rate of alternaria blight of ginseng plants showed the positive correlation between light intensity and leaking rate. The shading of 10% transmittance in root yield was increased by 40% in 6-year-old ginseng plant as compared with common straw shading, due to decreased missing plant and increased root weight.

In order to establish effective production o( ginseng extracts from tail ginseng, the tail ginseng was soaked in the different concentration and the amount of ethanol, and iii course of the time and duration of the extraction. The yield of ginseng extract, proximate chemical components and its saponin pattern were investigated. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The amount of tail ginseng extracts decreased in accordance with the increment of ethanol concentration. The yield of the extracts were 50.86%, 44.42%, 37.82%, 35.52% and 33.42% extracted by water.30%. 50%, 70%, and 90% ethanol, respectively. 2. The reasonable proportion of tail ginseng and solvent (35% ethanol) u·as 1 : 4 (42.68%)∼1 : 6 (45.92%) 3. The yield of tail ginseng extract increased according to the extraction time, but it was the most suitable that the tail ginseng extracted for 5 hour (43.32%)∼10 hour (45.60%). 4. The chemical composition and viscosity of tail ginseng extract was decreased but it's transmittance was increased, and the saponin pattern of T.L.C. showed same tendency in the course of extraction time.

To know possibility of raw ginseng production for white- and red-ginseng by direct-sowing culture, seeds were directly sowed or seedlings were transplanted at soil condition of sandy loam in ginseng field. After cultivation, the characters of 5-year-old ginseng were investigated. Number of survived plants was increased with increase the seeding quantity in direct-sowing culture, the survived plants in direct-sowing culture was higher than that of transplanting one. Rate of the numbers of survived plants to numbers of seeds sowed in plots of 134 or 90 seeds sowed per tan, 180 x 90cm area, inspire of high number of survived plant was high compared to that of transplanting culture. Occurrence rate of rusty root of ginseng in direct-sowing culture was low significantly compared to that of transplanting culture. Root yield showed in the order of 134, 268, 90 seeds sowed, the values of yield in direct-sowing culture were high obviously compared to that of transplanting one. Individual root weight was increased with decrease the seeding quantity, however, the root weight in plot of 90 seeds sowed showed almost equal the weight in transplanting culture. The number of usable raw ginseng for white- and red-ginseng was increased with decrease of the seeding quantity; the numbers were higher than that of transplanting culture remarkably. We concluded that optimum seedling rate in direct-sowing culture of ginseng was 90 to 134 seeds per tan considering the yield per area and production rate of large root.

The red ginseng is very popular as a health food. It has been manufactured with raw ginseng by the conventional method. But, the yield of the heaven grade ginseng (the best quality red ginseng) among the whole products is around 5-7％, Therefore, the yield should be improved in order to increase economic returns. In this study, a new model of drying system was developed to improve the yield of heaven grade ginseng from 7% to 15% or more. For this system, temperature and relative humidity were controlled by the feedback control system, and a solenoid valve for steam supply and other variables were controlled by the PC. The special features of this system developed are an image processing system for monitoring the red ginseng during the drying process in the drying chamber, and a cylindrical porous tray for holding ginseng that is rotating with the speed of 0-10rpm in the drying chamber and makes uniform drying of red ginseng possible.

To develop a new ginseng varieties with good quality and high yielding, a lot of individual ginseng plants were selected in the farmer's fields in 1972. Among them, a promising line, 7259-3-1, has been developed through comparative cultivation of several lines selected with pure line separation of local races in Korea Ginseng '||'&'||' Tobacco Research Institute. Preliminary and advanced yield trials were performed for 8 years. It was then designated as "KG 101" and tested in the regional yield and adaptation trials for 10 years (1981-1990). KG101 has a green stem with light violet and orange-yellow fruit and flowers 3-7 days later than local race, Takyungjong. Taproot of KG101 was longer than local race Jakyungjong, and root yield of KG101 was 9% higher than local race Jakyungjong. In red ginseng quality, the rates of Chun-Jeesam (Chun and Jee means 1st and 2nd grade, respectively) were 22.3% and 9.4% for KG101 and Jakyungjong, respectively. In these results, it was clarified that KG101 was superior ginseng line with good quality.y.

In order to know the optimum planting density under shading structures at different light intensity, We investigated the growth status, distribution of ginseng leaf area, correlation between planting density and root weight per plant and yield, correlation between leaf area index and root weight per plant and yield. According to the increase of planting density the leaf area per plant was decreased, but leaf area index (L.A.I) was increased. Ginseng leaf population at different lines under common straw shading were distributed mainly in frost lines but polyethylene net shading at 10fo light intensity were distributed equally in all lines. Optimum planting density in common straw shading at 5% light intensity was 55 plant per tan (90 cmX180 cm) and polyethylene net shading 81 10% light intensity was 60 plant per tan, in consideration of root weight and yield. Optimum leaf area index was 2.4 under common straw shading at 5% light intensity but was 2.7 under polyethylene net shading at 10% light intensity.
