Abstract
In genus Angelica, three species have been used and cultivated for medicinal material in orient, A. gigas in Korea, acutiloba in Japan and sinensis in China. A. gigas (Chamdangui) is different from A. acutiloba or A. sinensis in the contents chemical components and their efficacious. In Korea, in particular, A. acutiloba has been cultivated in a small acreage from several decades ago, and recently A. sinensis has been trying to cultivate. A trial of adaptation and cultivation of the three species was performed in different altitudinal regions such as Suwon (50 m of sea level), Jinbu (500 m of sea level) and Taebak (700 m of sea level). A. gigas and acutiloba grew and produced roots successfully at all locations, but A. sinensis could grow only at high altitudinal region, Taebaek. A. sinensis survived 70.3% at Taebaek, but only 45.2% at Jinbu and 3.6% at Suwon. The dry root yield of A. sinensis was as low as 1,600 kg/ha at Taebaek and 1,270 kg/ha at Jinbu comparing farmers' average root yield of A. gigas, 3,000 kg/ha however, no root could be harvested at Suwon. The results, showed it was that A. sinensis could not grow at low altitudinal plane area except high altitude area in Korea. Even though it could grow, the root yield was too low to support the income.
