METHOD FOR PRODUCING PANAX GINSENG WITH LEAVES COMPRISING MIST CULTIVATION PROCESS

To provide methods for producing Panax ginseng that can produce Panax ginseng with leaves that may become a perishable food with sufficient productivity, in as short a period of time as possible, and in anniversary regardless of the season.SOLUTION: A method for producing Panax ginseng according to the present invention comprises (i) a dormancy control step of subjecting to a low temperature treatment a root of Panax ginseng whose above-ground part withered and died, to result in dormancy and subsequently breaking-dormancy; and (ii) a mist cultivation step of growing with a mist cultivation apparatus the root of Panax ginseng after breaking-dormancy by the dormancy control step (i) to obtain a Panax ginseng with leaves. In addition, preferably the mist cultivation apparatus is equipped with a cultivation pipe provided with a Panax ginseng holding hole, an ultrasonic atomizing device which atomizes a culture medium, an air fan which leads an atomized culture medium to the cultivation pipe, and an air fan duct.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】生鮮食品と成り得る葉付きオタネニンジンを、生産性良く、できるだけ短期間で季節に関係なく周年で生産することができるオタネニンジンの生産方法を提供する。【解決手段】本発明のオタネニンジンの生産方法は、地上部が枯死したオタネニンジンの根を、低温処理して強制的に休眠させ、その後休眠打破する休眠制御工程（ｉ）、及び休眠制御工程（ｉ）にて休眠打破後のオタネニンジンの根を、ミスト耕装置にて生育して葉付きオタネニンジンを得るミスト耕生育工程（ｉｉ）を含む。また、前記ミスト耕装置が、オタネニンジン保持穴を設けた栽培管と、培養液を霧化する超音波霧化装置と、霧化した培養液を前記栽培管に導く送風機及び送風ダクトとを備えていることが好ましい。【選択図】図１
