Asparagus planting conditions suitable for planting areas requirements

Asparagus Introduction

Asparagus is an edible plant of the Asparagaceae family and the Asparagus genus. Asparagus is also known as asparagus and asparagus. Asparagus varieties include Crown, Awa, Atlas, etc.

Asparagus Growing Conditions

Asparagus has strong adaptability to soil and can tolerate mild salinity and alkali. It has a wide range of adaptability to soil pH and is intolerant to waterlogging. Excessively moist soil can cause root rot. It is relatively cold-resistant and heat-resistant and prefers an environment with plenty of sunlight.

Asparagus Growing Climate and Temperature

Asparagus is mainly distributed in subarctic to subtropical regions. It is suitable for cultivation in temperate zones with distinct four seasons and pleasant climate. In high-cold areas, when the temperature is below 33 degrees and the thickness of the permafrost layer is 1 meter, it can still safely overwinter. Although the yield is low, the quality is excellent.

Suitable areas for growing asparagus

Asparagus is suitable for planting in sandy loam with loose soil, deep soil layer, good fertilizer and water retention, good drainage, and rich in organic matter. If the soil is not suitable, the yield and quality will be affected.

Asparagus Planting Time

The best time to plant asparagus is in spring, and it can also be planted in autumn if the temperature is suitable. It cannot be planted during the high temperatures in summer or the low temperatures in winter, as the survival rate is very low.

Benefits of Asparagus Planting

If sufficient water and fertilizer are provided for growing asparagus, and the plant is managed carefully, the yield per mu can reach 800-1000 kg, and some can even reach 1200 kg. Calculated at 800 kg per mu, the market price is 3 yuan per catty, the output value per mu is about 4,800 yuan, and the net profit is about 3,500 yuan. The yield will increase in the future, and the profit from planting will be even higher.
