Variety description

10 August 2026

The Herkolim F1 variety is a mid-early hybrid adapted to temperate climate conditions. Plants reach a height of 90–100 cm and possess broad, sturdy, and open foliage, which facilitates rapid drying and reduces the risk of mold fungi development.

The produce is characterized by high uniformity: over 60% of spears have a diameter of 20–28 mm. Stems are straight, smooth, and resistant to hollowness, brittleness, and discoloration. The hybrid demonstrates high resistance to stress factors, which allows for its use in replanting on former asparagus plots.

The recommended planting density is 5–8 plants per linear meter at a depth of 18–22 cm. The variety is suitable for cultivation under covers and is appropriate for organic farming due to its hardiness and resistance to foliage diseases.
