The valuation and grading of soil quality discrepancy was studied with samples from cultivated ginseng land to lay a foundation for land use planning and development in genuine producing areas. The yield of ginseng，content of ginsenoside(Rb1，Re，Rg1)and soil quality index consisted of 18 physical and chemical properties were used as analysis indicators respectively in three different evaluation methods including yield classification method，cluster analysis method and principal component analysis method. The comprehensive comparison of 50 sample plots was carried out with these evaluation results. It was found that based on the indexes of yield and ginsenoside content，the soil class was distributed in a normal fashion，Ⅲ～IV and Ⅱ～IV level were the main grade respectively. Based on soil quality index，the soil quality index fall in between 0.20 and 0.59，Ⅲ～IV level were the main grade. The weight coefficients of available phosphorus，available potassium，available magnesium，urease and catalase were relatively high，which meant they were the key factors affecting the soil quality of planting ginseng. Results of correlation analysis indicated that there was positive correlation between grading based on soil quality and grading based on yield and ginsenoside content(r=0.58，0.44). The soil grades divided by soil quality are representative on certain degree. The soil quality evaluation method based on principal component analysis could support selecting and planning suitable soil，soil conservation and improvement，fertilization management and so on.
