The roots of PANAX GINSENG C. A. Meyer contain a relatively high percentage of ginsenosides from their first year of life onwards. Since the major development of weight of roots occurs between the 4th and 5th year of life, it has been established that the highest yield of ginsenosides and therefore the best time for harvesting the roots is at the end of the summer of the 5th year.
人参的根从第一年开始就含有相对较高比例的人参皂苷。由于根的重量主要在第四和第五年生长,因此已经确定人参皂苷的最高产量,也是收获根的最佳时间是第五年夏季结束。
