Jeff Shira of the Wisconsin Ginseng Board told growers at the Summer Field Day that diseases like phytophthora and alternaria threaten production and could trigger plant closures. He urged better root cleaning, drum handling, and removal of foreign matter to boost prices amid a shift to centralized buying and global competition.
Researchers at the Wisconsin Ginseng Growers Association Field Day described 10 experiments at the ginseng gardens. Karen Shotwell said diseases may be incorporated into plots or occur naturally, with one leaf and stem blight incident destroying a root rot garden. Projects include Rhone-Poulenc root rot treatments, Ridomil 56 and MEG, and tests on foliar phytophthora.
Wisconsin growers at a field day heard Sam Ferguson urge strict adherence to label directions as law and a guide to enforcement. John Price described M-45 fungicide limits under Section 18, warning against high rates due to residue risk. Leaders advocated building a coalition of ginseng and specialty crop growers with UW and state agencies.
