What is the best variety of asparagus?
At present, there is a generation of all-male hybrids and a generation of hybrids. There are German Quanxiong, Spanish Quanxiong, Dutch Quanxiong and so on. Among them, Dutch all-male "Jilimu" and "Shuofeng" are more prominent, and their disease resistance and yield are about 60% higher than those of conventional varieties. However, due to the difficulty in seed production, the price of seeds is expensive (1kg seeds is RMB 46,000-50,000 yuan), which is only used for scientific research and comparative experiments in China. The yield and disease resistance of the first generation hybrid are 40%-50% higher than those of conventional varieties, and the rate of first-class bamboo shoots can reach more than 90%, and the price is lower, which is more popular with bamboo shoot farmers. The better varieties are mainly domestic "Lu Asparagus 1No." and "Asparagus Prince F 1", as well as Japanese imported "Hybrid 1No." and American "Improved Emperor" and "Atlas". From the price and comprehensive comparison, "Asparagus Prince F 1" is more prominent.
