Abstract
Wild-simulated ginseng (WSG) is naturally cultivated in a forest environment without any artificial facilities or chemicals.
Growth characteristics and ginsenoside contents of WSG can be affected by soil properties of the cultivation field.
Therefore, this study aimed to investigate correlations among soil properties, growth characteristics, and ginsenoside contents of WSG with different ages.
Most of growth characteristics, soil pH, and some exchangeable cations of 13-year-old WSG were significantly higher than those of 4-year-old WSG. However, available phosphate of 4-year-old WSG soil was higher than that of 13-year-old WSG soil.
Contents of Rb2, Rb3, Rc, Rd-p, and Rg3 of 4-year-old WSG were higher than those of 13-year-old WSG in the top part.
In the root part, contents of Rb1, Rf-p, Rg1, Rg6, and Ro of 13-year-old WSG were higher than those of 4-year-old WSG, while contents of F2-AS and Rd-p of 4-year-old WSG were higher.
In correlation analysis, growth characteristics of 4-year-old WSG were correlated with ginsenoside types.
Correlations of soil properties with ginsenoside contents also differed between the top part and the root part of the same-year-old WSG. These results indicate that growth characteristics, soil properties, and ginsenoside contents of WSG in different WSG cultivation sites should be considered to select the most suitable cultivation site for WSG.
