Benefits of technology

[0005]This invention relates to a new and distinct asparagus plant designated as ‘NJ44P’. Plant ‘NJ44P’ possesses several desirable traits including vigorous growth habit, higher yield, resistance to rust (Puccinia asparagi), and good field tolerance to root and crown rot (Fusarium oxysporum) and (Fusarium moniliforme).

Problems solved by technology

Of course, the presence of these diseases adversely impacts the yields and therefore the profitability of the product.

Embodiment Construction

[0008]An extensive program of asparagus plant development, carried out in a cultivated area in the vicinity of Bridgeton, and New Brunswick, N.J., has resulted in the development of a female asparagus plant ‘NJ44P’ with many desirable traits, which are transmissible to its progenies. ‘NJ44P’ was selected from a production field of “Mary Washington” asparagus located in southern New Jersey. The instant plant reproduces true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction was initiated via meristem culture and subsequently by clonal division in a laboratory in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The ‘NJ44P’ plant described herein was located at a trial field in Bridgeton, N.J. The data shown herein was collected when the plant was four years old.

[0009]Asparagus (Asparagus officnalis Linn.) is a dioecious species with individual plants being either male or female in sex. The ‘cultivars’ of asparagus today are morphologically similar but differ in local adaptation...

Abstract

A female asparagus plant (Asparagus officinalis) denoted ‘NJ44P’ was developed through extensive culture and selection from a field of the variety Mary Washington. Plant ‘NJ44P’ has many desirable traits including vigorous plant growth, high yield, good resistance to rust (Puccinia asparagi) and good field tolerance to asparagus root rot (Fusarium oxysporum) and asparagus crown rot (Fusarium mondiforme). These desirable traits have been shown to be transmissible to its progenies. The invention relates to plants and plant parts of ‘NJ44P’ plant. The invention further relates to hybrid asparagus seeds and plants produced by crossing the asparagus ‘NJ44P’ plant with another asparagus plant.

Description

[0001]Latin name of the genus and species: The Latin name is Asparagus officinalis. [0002]Variety denomination: The varietal denomination is ‘NJ44P’.CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0003]This application is related to the copending plant patent application Ser. No. 11 / 431,329 entitled HOMOZYGOUS MALE ASPARAGUS PLANT NJ 22-34, which is owned by the assignee of the present invention and is filed currently herewith.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]For an asparagus plant to be commercially viable and profitable, good yield is essential. It is well known that asparagus is susceptible to a number of diseases. Among the most devastating are rust caused by Puccinia asparagi d.c., (Kahn et al. 1952), crown rot caused by Fusarium oxysporum and root rot caused by f. Proliferatum (syn=f. Moniliforme) (Johnston et al., 1979; Guerrero et al., 1999). Of course, the presence of these diseases adversely impacts the yields and therefore the profitability of the product. Accordingly, resistance...
