This study was to set the guidelines of soil chemical components in order to assure the safety and quality ofthe panax ginseng from physiological disorder. The disorder symptoms appeared on the leaf with yellow spot, atrophy, yel-low-brown spot, also showed red skin and rough skin of the root. Occurrence type of physiological disorder in cultivatedfield divided into two types:type I ‘such as, yellow spot’ consist of single disorder symptom; type II ‘such as, yellow spotand yellow-brown spot’ consist of two or more different disorder symptoms. The individual contribution of soil properties tothe occurrence type was as follows ; The yellow spot was affected by Na>NO3-N>salinity (EC) in soil. The same results wasobserved in red skin. Atrophy was affected by NO3-N>salinity (EC)>Ca>Mg. Rough skin was affected by P2O5>pH>Organic material > K. It showed positive associated to P2O5, pH and K, but negative associated to organic matter. Simulta-neous occurrence of two different disorder, including cases which yellow spot and yellow-brown spot, those were affected byNO3-N > salinity (EC) > Na > Mg. In the case of atrophy plus yellow-brown spot, those also were affected by in the order :NO3-N > salinity (EC) > Ca > Mg > Na. Red-rough skin was affected in the order : salinity (EC) > NO3-N > K > Na. Soilchemical components appear to be related to occurrence of physiological disorder, particularly in salinity (EC) and NO3-N.The salinity (EC) and NO3-N were negative related to plant growth. In addition, exchangeable cation capacity play criticalroles in attributing to complex occurrence of physiological disorder.

The purpose of this study was to identify soil physical characteristics as guideline for high yield potential inginseng cultivated field which produced 6 years root. Harvest yields of ginseng to be divided by parent rock was in order ofphyllite and red shale 3.1㎏/3.3㎡ > granite and gneiss·schist 3.0㎏ > basalt 2.6㎏ > porphyry 2.2㎏ in upland and forestsoil. Also, with classified by topography, it was in order of foot slope and alluvial fan 3.2㎏/3.3㎡ > valley 3.0㎏ > low hill2.9㎏ > hill, lave flow and dilluvial terrace 2.8㎏ in survey tilth. Class determination of soil texture, it was in order of sandyloam 3.1㎏/3.3㎡ > loam and silt loam 3.0㎏ > clay loam 2.9㎏ > silt clay loam 2.8㎏ in survey tilth. Slope condition offarming land, in case of sloping (2~7%), it was 3.1㎏/3.3㎡ but deep sloping (15~30%) caused decreasing harvest yield. Indrainage classes (excessively, well and moderately well), there was no significantly different in harvest yields. Relationshipbetween harvest yield and soil series, Production sites as yielding 3.0㎏/3.3㎡ were seven sites, also it was contained 14 soilseries. Production sites as yielding 2.5~3.0㎏/3.3㎡ were eleven sites, it was contained 16 soil series. Production sites asyielding 2.0~2.5㎏/3.3㎡ were 10 sites, it was contained 4 soil series.

This study was carried out to select economical byproduct composts as the substitute for the traditionalorganic fertilizer, Yacto, in the cultivation of ginseng seedlings, and to investigate the application method of a selected com-post. Among tested byproduct composts, popped rice hull compost was the best substitute for Yacto, while the application ofdomestic animal manure composts resulted in red skinned roots of ginseng seedlings. Optimal mixing ratio of the poppedrice hull compost with virgin soil (fine sand) were 3~4:1 in bulk, showing the same root yield compared to that of conven-tional seedbed soil. When the popped rice hull compost was lower than 1±0.1% in nitrogen content, the expeller cake of oilseed was added to seedbed soil to rise nitrogen content until 1±0.1%.

인삼 연작장해 원인과 경감대책을 수립하고자 2004년에는 2005년까지 작물과학원 증평시험지 연작토양에서 인삼 수확경 과년수와 예정지관리 유무에 따른 시험을 수행한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 인삼 연작지 수확경과년수가 짧을수록 생존율이 낮아지며 3~4년 경과구 81~95%의 뿌리썩음 이병주율을 보였다. 예정지 관리구는 미관리구보다 생존율이 다소 높으며 뿌리 썩음병 피해도 예정지 미관리와 같은 경향으로 예정지 관리효과는 크지 않다. 수확경과년수가 10년이상의 연작지에서도 연작장해를 일으키는 병원균 (C. destructans)이 분리되므로 재작 또는 연작시는 이점을 고려하여 재배지를 재선정하거나 예정지 토양관리대책을 수립해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

경기도 안성지역의 4~6년생 재래종 (자경종) 인삼포장에서 4월 28일에서 9월 30일까지 월별 지하부 생육특성과 엑스함량의 경시적 변화를 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 동체장은 월별 수축과 회복을 반복하여 9월 수확기까지 증가되지 않았으나 동체직경은 점진적인 증가를 보였다. 2. 단위 면적당 지상부중은 4월부터 급격히 증가하여 7월에 최고를 보인 후 차차 감소되었으며, 지하부중은 5월에 감소된 후 9월 수확기까지 점차 증가되었는데, 6년생은 7월 이후 약간의 감소를 보였다. 3. 지하부의 상대생장율은 전엽기인 5월과 고온기인 8월에 감소되었고 6, 7, 9월에 다시 증가되었는데, 6년생의 지근과 세근은 4~5년생에 비해 월별 뚜렷한 변화를 보이지 않았다. 4. 상품비율 (근중 60g 이상)은 연생이 증가할수록 커서 4년생 23%, 5년생 60%, 6년생 69% 이었다. 5. 뿌리의 수분함량은 수확기까지 차차 감소되었는데, 7~9월까지 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 9월 수확기의 수분함량은 4년생 〉 5년생 〉 6년생순 이었다. 6. 동체의 경도는 5월에 감소된 후 급격히 증가되었는데, 4~5년생은 6~9월까지 대체로 증가되었으나 6년생은 8월부터 차차 감소되어 4~5년생과 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 7. 동체와 지근의 엑스함량은 4월부터 6월까지 급격히 감소된 후 9월에 다시 증가되었는데, 4~5월의 엑스함량은 4년생이 5~6년생보다 많았으나 9월에는 연생 간에 뚜렷한 차이가 없었다.
