Wild Simulated Ginseng / rusty root
« on: May 27, 2014, 01:16:10 PM »
I have been growing wild simulated ginseng for 8 years. Last year was our 1st crop we had dug and 99% of our roots were rusty roots. I'm frustrated in my research. I have found things saying it is prob from my seed I bought. The person I buy from say's it is not that it is my soil and I need to add potassium to my ground?
? I have noticed the seeds had a orange rust look to them in some seeds and did not treat the seed due to my stupidity of trust worthiness due to my suppler of the seeds advice not to treat the seeds they are ready to plant and now I have a crop of rusty rooted plants. I'm an honest person and would not want to sell bad roots or seeds in the future to other people. So my question would be what to do with my crop and are your seeds good seeds or would they to be infected with rusty roots for future planting?? We have already planted over 150lbs of this mans seed in the last 8 years. I will not say his name but I can tell you he is in Scott Person's book as a ginseng seed supplier.
