The Gyeonggi-do Agricultural Research Institute urged cultivators of ginseng to take preventive measures against high-temperature damage, as summer temperatures in July and August are expected to be higher than usual. Ginseng, a typical cold-loving crop, can have its leaves scorched or even the entire plant die if daily maximum temperatures exceed 30°C for 5-7 days. Additionally, premature leaf fall, poor growth, reduced yield, and quality deterioration can occur, making advance preparation essential. The agricultural research institute recommended key response strategies including: ▲using improved fencing that allows good ventilation ▲installing additional double-layer shade nets ▲when installing shade nets over shade areas, positioning them 10-15cm inward from the rear side to create an air layer
