This study was conducted to assess water movement in paddy-upland rotation soil scheduled for ginseng cultivation through the measurement of infiltration and permeability of soil water. Soil sample was divided with four soil layers. The first soil layer (to 30cm from top soil) was loamy sand, the second and the third soil layers (30~70 ㎝) were sand, and the fourth (〈 120 ㎝) was sandy loam. The soil below 130 ㎝ of fourth soil layer was submerged under water. The shear strength, which represents the resisting power of soil against external force, was 3.1 kPa in the first soil layer. This corresponded to 1/8 of those of another soil layer and this value could result in soil erosion by small amount of rainfall. The rates of infiltration and permeability depending on soil layers were 39.86 cm hr-1 in top soil, 2.34 cm hr-1 in 30~70 ㎝ soil layer, 5.23 cm hr-1 and 0.18 cm hr-1 in 70~120 ㎝ soil layer, with drain tile, and without drain tile, respectively. We consider that ground water pooled in paddy soil and artificial formation of soil layer could interrupt water canal within soil and affect negatively on water movement. Therefore, we suggest that to drain at 5 m intervals be preferable when it makes soil dressing or soil accumulation to cultivate ginseng in paddy-upland rotation soil to reduce failure risk of ginseng cultivation.

This study was carried out to investigate the difference of growth characteristics, yield and extract content between upland and paddy ginseng cultured with 4­year-old ginseng in 2003. Although upland ginseng showed larger variation in yield than that of paddy ginseng, the average of it was greater than that of paddy ginseng because it showed better growth of aerial part and higher survival rate than that of paddy ginseng. Moisture content of fresh root was 71.8~%~;(68.5~~73.1~%),~;and~;72.7~%~;(70.2 ~~74.9~%) on average in upland and paddy ginseng, respectively. Paddy ginseng showed higher hardness in taproot, and higher rate of rusty colored root than that of upland ginseng. The ratio of taproot dry weight in upland ginseng was smaller than that of paddy ginseng, while that of lateral root was larger in upland ginseng. Ratio of marketable root (>60g) to total harvested roots was 13.7~%~;(0.82~~8.0~%)~;and~;7.7~%~;(1.6~~12.6~%) in upland and paddy ginseng, respectively. Extract content did not show distinct difference between upland and paddy ginseng, but it showed large variation from 16.1~;to~;25.1~% in taproot, and from 24.2~;to~;32.5~% in lateral root depanding on the ginseng field examined.

밭재배와 논재배처럼 토양환경이 상이한 조건에서 재배된 인삼의 지상부 생육의 경시적 변화 및 근부특성과 성분함량 차이를 비교하기 위해 금산지방의 직파재배 4년근 밭재배 및 논재배 농가포장을 선정하여 시험한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 논토양의 미사와 점토함량 그리고 토양수분과 공극율은 밭토양보다 뚜렸히 높았는데, 재배기간 동안의 토양수분함량 범위는 논재매 17.5~19.5%로 적당하였으나 밭재배는 7.0~12.8%로 낮은 수분함량을 보였으며, 논토양은 밭토양보다 인산과 칼슘함량이 적으나 염류농도와 유기물, 질산태질소, 칼륨, 마그네슘 함량이 높아 비교적 양호한 토양조건을 보인 관계로 초장, 생체근중 및 주당건물중 등 지상부와 지하부 생육은 논재배가 밭재배보다 양호한 생육을 보였다. 2. 논 밭재배간 순동화율 (NAR)과 작물생장율 (CGR) 직이 치밀하지 못했다는 Mog et al. (1981)의 보고와 비슷한 결과를 보였다. 표 5와 같이 생체근중의 분포비율은 직파 4년 재배에서 논 밭재배 모두 100 g 이상의 인삼은 생산되지 않았는데, 60 g 이상인 것의 비율이 논재배 5.3%로 밭재배 0.9%에 비해 많았으며 40 g 이상인 것의 비율도 논재배가 밭재배보다 높았다. 은 5월과 9월에 가장 뚜렸한 차이를 보였으며, 논재배시 근중은 9월 수확기에 가장 큰 증가를 보였으나 밭재배는 9 월에 조기낙엽 증가로 인하여 근중비대가 정지되어 뚜렸한 차이를 보였다. 3. 수삼수량은 논재배가 밭재배보다 약간 많으나 유의적인 차이는 없었으며, 적변 발생율도 논 밭재배간 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 4. 논 밭재배간 동체직경과 동체장, 뿌리의 수분함량 및 조사포닌과 50% 에탄올 추출 엑스함량은 유의적인 차이를 보였는데, 조사포닌과 엑스함량은 밭재배가 높았다. 5. 동체의 경도는 5~8월까지 논 밭재배 간에 서로 비슷하였으나 9월에 밭재배는 급격히 감소하여 뚜렸한 차이를 보였다.
