How long does asparagus grow?

The growth cycle of asparagus is very long, and it takes 1-3 years from planting to harvesting. However, the asparagus grown in southern my country can be evergreen all year round, and assimilation can take place all year round, so the growth cycle is not very obvious.

The growth of asparagus goes through several stages including seedling stage, juvenile stage, adult stage and senescent stage. The plants are planted in spring from April to May and can be harvested in the spring of the following year.

Asparagus growing process

1. Seedling stage: The seedling stage of asparagus is from seed germination to planting, which takes about 2-3 months.

2. Young stage: During this period, the growth of asparagus is very rapid. From planting to the first harvest, the number of stems above ground will continue to increase.

3. Adult stage: The adult stage of asparagus lasts for a long time, starting from the second year after production. During this period, a strong crown will be formed, which is the most vigorous stage in the life cycle.

Asparagus growth period maintenance management

1. If two asparagus seedlings die in each hole during the seedling stage, one of them needs to be removed in time and the temperature should be controlled above 20℃.

2. During the peak growth period of asparagus, the demand for nutrients is relatively large. At this time, it is necessary to replenish nutrients in time and keep the soil moist to prevent the plant from lack of water and cracking.
