This study was undertaken to evaluate the automatic decision-making on the rusty root of fresh ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) by an image analyzer. Critical value of rusty root of ginseng by image analyzing was the percentage of grey value 0∼148 area (G 148) to the total area of grey value 0∼255. And the discriminant formula of rusty root of ginseng as follows; rusty root of ginseng : 6.68$\times$G(148) +3.74, normal ginseng : 2.86$\times$G(148) +9.96, and fitness rates of this formula were 89.8%. Also, we developed the automatic rusty root of decision-making program. As the result of this study, the automatic decision-making on the rusty root of fresh ginseng by an image analyzer seems to have high possibility.
