“…The yield of asparagus not only depends on the external conditions, cultivation practices, or harvesting methods and dates, but also on internal factors determined by specific genetic characters of the grown cultivars or the age of the plants (Gasecka et al, 2008) and storage carbohydrates in the crown (Wilson et al, 2008). In Vietnam, asparagus is a fairly new crop so research about cultivation techniques is needed, especially for organic farming purposes.…”

A two-season field trial was carried out in the Upland Crop Experiment Field of the Faculty of Agronomy, Vietnam National University of Agriculture (VNUA) to assess the effects of three furrow heights (20, 35, and 50cm) and three manure compost levels (15, 25, and 35 tons ha-1) on the growth, yield, and quality of green asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) grown organically. The experiments were arranged in a randomized completely block design (RCBD) with three replications. The results showed that the harvested yield was highest (11.3 and 25.1 quintals ha-1 in the 2019 autumn and 2020 spring season, respectively) in the treatment with a furrow height of 35cm and compost level of 35 tons ha-1 in both seasons, and explained by the increased spear diameters and number of spears per plant in this treatment when the furrow height and compost level were increased. Additionally, the chlorophyll content, water loss, and dry matter weight of the spears also increased when the furrow height and compost level increased. The obtained quality of the spears under organic management at the furrow height of 35 cm and compost level of 35 tons ha-1 was higher than the other treatments with higher reducing sugars, vitamin C, and Brix values, while the residue nitrate contents of all the treatments were lower than the allowed safety threshold.

“…Yields of asparagus range considerably. They depend not only on external factors, such as environmental conditions, cultivation practices or the harvesting methods and dates, but also on internal factors determined by specific genetic characters of grown cultivars or the age of plants (Gifford & Evans 1981, Wooley et al 1999, Gąsecka et al 2008, Krzesiński et al 2008. Asparagus cultivars differ considerably in their yield and adaptability to different growing conditions, especially temperature.…”

Yielding of Asparagus Depending on Harvest Ending DateThe field experiment focused on the determination of yielding of asparagus cv. ‘Thielim’ in relation to harvest duration: traditional (until June 20th), shortened (June 10th) and prolonged (30thJune) harvests. The variation in harvest ending dates did not have a significant influence on the total, marketable and non-marketable yields as well as on the crown weight and the number of storage roots. However, the extension of harvest time until June 30thresulted in an increase in the number of spears in the total and marketable yields, accompanied by a decrease in their diameter. Also prolonging harvest affected negatively the summer stalk size. During harvest until June 10thasparagus plants probably did not use their full yielding potential, because of too short harvest time. It resulted in increased height, weight, light absorption of summer stalks, leaf area index (LAI) and the total of cross-section areas of summer stalks (PPPA) with no significant differences in yield.
