Present Situation and Development Trend of Production Mechanization of American Ginseng in China

American ginseng is one of important Chinese medicinal materials in China．At present, its production mechanization technology is relatively backward, which is mainly manifested in low production efficiency, poor operation quality, insufficient integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy, and intelligence level needs to be improved．Planting pattern and agronomy of American ginseng were introduced．Relevant equipment and current situation of mechanization were introduced aiming at three links of land arrangement, sowing and harvesting in production process of American ginseng．Research focus and development trend were put forward．American ginseng production machinery should be developed independently in China, and at the same time, basic performance research should be strengthened to improve reliability, reduce losses and improve production efficiency．
