Vegalim
is a 100% male hybrid and is extremely suitable for the
cultivation of green asparagus in areas with a warm/Mediterranean
climate. Vegalim combines a middle-early production with
high yields and an excellent closed tip. Vegalim is also extremely
suitable for forced early cultivation.
Cultivation
Vegalim thrives best in fertile, well-drained soils. Research
carried out over a number of years has shown that the
best results for green asparagus have been achieved with
a planting density of 25,000 - 32,000 plants per hectare
and with a planting depth of 15 - 30 cm. The highest plant
densities can be applied in plots that can be artificially irrigated
or equipped with drip irrigation. Vegalim is a 100%
male hybrid, which not only means a longer, profitable
shelf-life, but also that seedlings no longer occur.
Product
Vegalim has a very high production potential, an excellent
quality and stems of a good thickness. Vegalim's closed tip
is also excellent under warm conditions. A high percentage
of the product is located within the diameter class above
12 mm. Vegalim produces fine, smooth, cylindrical stems.
Foliage
The uniform foliage of Vegalim is erect and has a high
resistance to foliage diseases. In view of the fact that no
female berries are formed, the foliage is virtually unsusceptible
to lodging. Its high resistance to foliage diseases
therefore also makes Vegalim suitable for organic cultivation
methods.
Seeds
All of Limseeds' seeds are tested according to stringent
internal quality controls for germination capacity (in accordance
with ISTA protocol) and varietal purity. Before
seeds are delivered, they are once again tested by the
Netherlands Inspection Service for Horticulture [Stichting
Naktuinbouw], an independent inspection service established
under the supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture,
Nature and Food Quality [Ministerie van Landbouw, Natuur
en Voedselkwaliteit].
