Cultivation
Frühlim grows best in well-drained sandy soil. In in-house research over a period of several years the best white asparagus results were obtained with a plant density of 3.5 - 4 plants per running metre and a planting depth of 16 - 20 cm. Frühlim’s natural earliness makes it particularly suitable for measures for forcing extra-early crops or for obtaining early crops using thermal plastic or mini-tunnels. Frühlim continues to produce high-quality asparagus under those various forms of cover.
Product
Frühlim has a high production potential, a good quality and a good thickness. The product is white with tightly closed tips and is not, or virtually not, susceptible to hollow stems, snapping or stem rust. 75% of the product is in the 16-28 mm grade class.
Foliage
Frühlim’s very uniform foliage is dark, erect and vigorous. It is very resistant to foliage diseases and retains its green colour until late in autumn. These good foliage characteristics make Frühlim very suitable for organic cultivation, too.
