Studies on the Trial Cultivation of Italian Liquorice -A Breeding Method and Glycyrrhizin Content-

이태리종 감초의 재배에 관한 연구

The cultivation of Italian liquorice root was carried out and the three-year-old roots of average wet weight 800g were harvested. In early April the cut root was transplanted and the rate of survival was $50{\sim}60%$. The treatment of it with dilute Atonic solution increased the rate to 96%. The glycyrrhizin content in the root was: five-year-old root 7%, four-year-old 7.5%, three-year-old 6.7%, and two-year-old 4.7%.
