APOLLO
F1 asparagus
produces green spears that have very
tight heads under cool to warm growing conditions
during harvest time. The spears have a cylindrical
shape with slight tapering spear tips. The
bud scales are closely oppressed to the spear,
giving the spear a very smooth appearance.
Spear production starts very early
in the spring and due to its HYBRID
vigor, extends late through the cutting season
to provide very high yields of tight headed
spears.
Spear color is dark green with
little purple coloration on the bud scales,
spear tip and butt giving the spear a very
attractive appearance. The high amount of
HYBRID vigor gives APOLLO F1
a high degree of Fusarium tolerance.
The tolerance to asparagus rust and
other foliar diseases is also high.
The fern production in this cultivar
will fill in 1.5 meter between-row spacing
which is the recommended between row spacing.
The in-row spacing of 20 centimeters is recommended
for this cultivar to get the maximum
potential yields of medium to large
diameter spears
The APOLLO F1
seed is certified by the California
Crop Improvement Association as to the genetic
purity and quality of the seed.
Field and equipment inspections are conducted
by the California Crop Improvment Association
and the California Department of Food and
Agriculture, respectively.
