Background : Wild-simulated ginseng (WSG, panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) is known to be grown in high altitudes with a climate of cool, well ventilated and fertile humid forests. In this study, the effects of altitude and soil characteristics on the growth of WSG were investigated.
Methods and Results : The seeds were planted on designated line, and the altitude was set at 600 highland and 300 highland. At each highland soil characteristics and forest condition were investigated also Hobo (HOBO U30 Werther station) was set up to measure the microclimate in the site. Experiments were conducted in each highland to determine the difference in the growth of WSG according to the soil condition. Growth characteristics of undergrowth, such as root thickness and length also upper growth such as stem length and thickness were measured. As a result of the soil characteristics survey, the value of available phosphorus was found to be 256.7 ㎎/㎏ at 300 highlands. On the other hand, in 600 highland, available phosphorus was 29.59 ㎎/㎏, which showed big difference.
Conclusion : Overall, the cation exchange capacity was higher than the 600 highland at 300 highland. The weight, stem length, root length and leaflet size of the wild-simulated ginseng were higher than those of 600 highland at 300 highland.
