Embodiment Construction

[0009]An extensive program of asparagus plant development, carried out in a cultivated area in the vicinity of Bridgeton, N.J., has resulted in the development of the asparagus hybrid ‘NJ953’ with many desirable traits.

[0010]Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis Linn.) is a dioecious species with individual plants being either male or female in sex. In addition to differences in morphology, ‘cultivars’ may also differ in local adaptation, yield, disease resistance, and longevity. Desirable cultivars are developed by crossing of elite male and female parents. Both male and female parents transmit traits such as disease resistance, yield, and spear morphology to their progenies. This invention relates to new and distinct asparagus hybrid designated as ‘NJ953’. Disease resistance of the kind found in the ‘NJ953’ plant will allow growers to plant the hybrid in areas where rust, and Fusarium crown and root rot now prevent profitable culture of susceptible varieties.

Abstract

A hybrid male asparagus plant (Asparagus officinalis) denoted ‘NJ953’ has many desirable traits including vigorous plant growth, high yield, attractive spear morphology, 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 ‘NJ953’ plant. The invention further relates to hybrid asparagus seeds and plants produced by crossing the asparagus ‘NJ953’ 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 ‘NJ953’.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]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) and crown rot caused by Fusarium oxysporum, root rot caused by Fusarium proliferatum (syn=Fusarium 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 to these diseases is important to commercial success.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]This invention herein described relates to a new and distinct asparagus plant, which was developed as an elite hybrid with many characteristics desired by growers and consu...
