Question

Is it possible to plant ginseng in a semiarid environment under irrgation?

Answer 1

Absolutely!

Answer 2

Of course it is.

There are many cases of plantations of ginseng, aloe vera, jojoba, etc, in even desertic areas with irrigation.

Usually is drop-by-drop fertirrigation.

Answer 3

You can grow anything anywhere. Once you know what a plant's needs are, you just have to duplicate them. You have different fertilizers, you can shade if too hot, or greenhouse/ row cover if too cold, water if too dry, and soil amendments if the soil isn't right. Desert sand will produce a crop even if it is treated as a hydroponic crop. You just need to make it cost effective. Look at what you need, add it up, then look at how much you can produce. Figure in a number of high and low profit margins and see if the market will accept that. If you can't make a good enough profit, and you can't adjust your input to make it work, then try another plant, more suited.

Answer 4

If you can grow potatos you can grow ginseng.  Same basics.  But ginseng needs partial sunlight to grow well.
