Asparagus ( Asparagus officinalis L.) is a popular vegetable consumed in many regions of the world. It was previously used as a traditional medicine in both Europe and Asia and as a tonic, antipyretic, antitussive, hair-growth stimulant, and
Abstract
The insecticide O,S-dimethyl acetylphosphoramidothioate (acephate) economically controlled the redbacked cutworm, Euxoa ochrogaster (Guenée), on asparagus at 0.8 kg/ha. An off-flavor was imparted to the asparagus by the 2.2 kg/ha rate.

Asparagus ( Asparagus officinalis L.) is a low-input, high-market value and long-term perennial vegetable crop with a production cycle of up to 15 years or more ( Hamel et al., 2005 ; Yergeau et al., 2006 ). It is a rich source of phytochemicals
the relationship between free amino acid and disease tolerance. Materials and Methods Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculation and cultivation condition. Seeds of asparagus ( Asparagus officinalis L., cv. Welcome) were sown in commercial soil
). Fresh-cut products are gaining in popularity as a result of consumer demand for convenience and nutrition. Fresh green asparagus ( Asparagus officinalis L.) is one of the most popular minimally processed vegetables in the United States as a result of
Abstract
Survival of Asparagus officinalis L. transplants in soil was significantly improved with a minimum of labor when they were first transplanted into the Jiffy 7 peat pots from aseptic culture and grown under intermittent mist for 5 to 8 days.
Abstract
More rooted Asparagus officinalis L. plantlets were obtained in vitro from stem segments with 3 or more branch-shoots than from those with 1 or 2 branch-shoots; those without branch-shoots produced the fewest plantlets.
Abstract
Asparagus plants are highly variable in yield, disease resistance, and most other plant characteristics because of the dioecious nature of the species. It is common for the highest-yielding plants in an open-pollinated cultivar of asparagus to yield 10 times more than other plants (Ellison et al., 1960). This kind of variability offers an opportunity to select superior plants for cloning. ‘Jersey Queen’ is such a female, previously identified and tested as Md 10.
Abstract
A modified procedure was developed for vegetatively increasing normal diploid Asparagus officinalis L. This is accomplished by culturing stock plants from unrooted lateral buds from spears, and by rooting buds from basal portions of shoots of stock plants. Murashige and Skoog's inorganic medium with added growth substances was used.
