This study was carried out to produce more Parasenecio firmus in forest farming. In order to achieve thispurpose, it was surveyed the growth and photosynthetic characteristics of P. firmus. Relatively light intensity was controlledby 100%, 60%, 30% and 5% of full sunlight. Height was the highest under 5% of full sunlight. Shoot diameter was the high-est in full sunlight. Fresh weight (leaf, stem, root and total) and dry weight (leaf, root and total) were the highest under 30%of full sunlight. S (leaf+stem)/R (root) ratio was the lowest under 30% of full sunlight and the highest under 5% of full sun-light. In leaf characteristics, leaf area, SLA and LAR were getting higher in the lower light level and the highest under 5% offull sunlight (176.1㎠, 420.5㎠•g−1 and 123.5㎠•g−1). Especially, leaf area was surveyed higher under 30% of full sunlightin the next. Leaf thickness was getting lower in the lower light level and the lowest under 5% of full sunlight (overall0.14~0.24㎜). As a result of surveying the whole experiment, P. firmus grows well under 30% and 5% of full sunlight inforest farming.
