As cool-season plant, Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer is planted under shade-installation with tall front and low rear. However, at different planting positions, distinct differences come out because ginseng grows at the same position within 3~5 years and the growth circumstance changes a lot by the shade-installation. So, in this study, changes of temperature, photosynthesis and chlorophyll fluorescence with varieties of shading material and planting position were investigated. Light transmittances by polyethylene shade net and silver-coated shading plate as planting materials were measured according to different planting positions. Photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll fluorescence were measured by LI-6400-40 (Li-Cor). According to different planting positions, light intensity was higher in silver-coated shading plate than in polyethylene shade net, and higher at front than rear. Also, photosynthetic rate showed the same tendency, which had a positive correlation to light intensity. But this treatment caused a lower Fo compared with polyethylene shade net because of the stress by light and temperature. Also, Fv/Fm and ETR were higher in silver-coated shading plate. Fo was similar at front and rear according to silver-coated shading plate and ETR was higher at front.

일복내에서의 인삼의 생육실태를 파악하기 위하여 3~5년근의 경 및 엽의 건물중, 엽면적과 동지수(LAI), 비엽중(SLW) 등의 수직분포 및 조도의 변화를 재식위치별로 조사하였다. 1. 3년근에서 조도는 지상 10cm 정도에서 가장 낮았고 후행일수록 낮았다. 2. 3년근 엽면적은 상의 가운데 1[3부분이 넓었고 비엽중은 수광량이 많은 곳일수록 높았으나 엽면적 지수는 행별로 큰 차이가 없었다. 3. 4년근에서는 3년근보다 광환경이 악화되었고 엽면적 및 동지수는 행별 차이가 현저했다. 4. 5년근에서는 통로부분의 엽량이 많아진 것 외에는 대체적인 경향이 4년근과 비슷하였다. 5. 경엽의 건물중은 고년근일수록 현저히 증대되었고 잎의 건물중은 보다 상층에 분포하였다.
