If there is no crown or bud rot then there is a possibility of survival. When plants topple over check for signs of chewing. There have been incidences of high slug populations in ginseng gardens this spring. In gardens where slugs laid eggs last year the young have hatched. The mild winter conditions have allowed a high survival rate.
Cutworms are still active.
Both cutworms and slugs can chew on the stems as they emerge, and on the leaves as they begin to unfold. In older gardens it is now time to consider deflowering. Most gardens are about a week ahead of normal development. As soon as the leaves unfold, the buds will begin to elongate. The earlier that the bud is removed, the sooner energy can go into the development of the root.
