Abstract□Weight (g/root) and bulk density (g/cm3) of tap root in 15-root-grade of 4-year-old white ginseng were investigated by specific gravity and weight-volume method. Bulk density measured by specific gravity ranged from 0.8 to 1.2g/cm3 with
almost
normal distribution in frequency (number of roots). Bulk density measured by volume-weight method had significant correlation with root weight. The percentage of high bulk density root (above 1.0) showed significant positive correlation with mean
root
weight or mean bulk density of root weight, indicating that the growth conditions for large root provide the better compactness of root tissue.
