Ginseng is not a major crop in the United States. As such, growers have found it hard to find "legal" chemical treatments for the diseases and pests that plague the crop. This how-to guide goes over the old-time methods which worked for growers at the turn of the previous century, offering critiques, innovations, and modernizations. It also covers newer methods and techniques, as well as non-chemical alternatives. This guide is a companion to The Complete Ginseng Grower's manual. It gleans the best advice from that Curran's Ginseng Farmer newsletter published over its many years.
