Effect of soil moisture on content and partition of mineral nutients in panax ginseng (2 years old) was investigated. Similarity was found between N and p, Ca and Mg, K and Fe. Mn and Zn were quite different each other and from others. Nutrient partition was affected more by nutrient content than by dry matter. Under suboptimal moisture condition partition to shoot was inhibited in order of Mg, Zn, Ca, Mg, N and P while accelerated in odor of Fe. K and Mn. Under supraoptimal moisture condition Partition to shoot was inhibited in order of Zn, Fe, K, and Ca, while accelerated in order of Mg, N, Mn and p.
