ABSTRACT

Studies were conducted in the years 2004-2006 on American ginseng (Panax quinquefolium L.) plantation situated on sandy-clay soil. The experiment concerned a comparison of results of the mycological analysis of diseased ginseng plants from the objects with different methods of plant protection from infection factors. The mycological analysis showed that pathogenic fungi were most frequently isolated from ginseng plants taken from the control combination. The least quantity of pathogens was obtained from the plants taken from the combination with the chemical protection, i.e. Alkalin 10:20 and Alkalin 10:20 together with fungicides. Pathogenic fungi that were most frequently isolated from the infected parts of ginseng includes the following: Altenaria alternata, Fusarium spp., Cylindrocarpon destructans, Pythium irregulare, Phytophthora sp. and Rhizoctonia solani.

Key words: American ginseng, Panax quinquefolium L., biopreparations, fungicides.
