Studies on the Etiology of Red Rot of Ginseng

Rotting bacteria were isolated from decayed root rot of ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer), cultured purely, and it's pathogenicity was confirmed by reinoculation test. Two strains (E3, E7) were selected to be tested in more detailed study with respect to their morphological, cutural and biochemical characters. The strains causing red rot of ginsneg were identified as Erwinia carotovora.
