Abstract□Assessment of root weight grade system for the numeral definition in Korea ginseng was tried by investigation of 13 boxes of the 15-root-grade of 4-year-old white ginseng as a model. In this case satisfaction to theoretical value was
58%
in
root number. The coefficient of variation (CV) was high (35%) for individual root weight in package. The VC of tap root weight among package is low (7.1%) even though there was no significant correlation between tap root weight and lateral root
weight
among roots. The mean percentage of tap root to root weight in each package ranged 61 to 74% with CV range of 16.5 to 33.2%. The CV was not much different between lst and 2nd lateral root weight and the means was above 60%. Strict practice of
numeral
definition of root weight grade system will be prerequisite for chemical standardization of Korea ginseng.
