Limgroup presented the official intronisation of the asparagus variety Mosalim (k8650) to the asparagus world on 22.11.2023 at ExpoSE in Karlsruhe at 09:00 with the Hessian Asparagus Queen Monique I and representatives from the branch.
It is an asparagus variety from the white asparagus region for the north-western climate. The Mosalim variety is for the late harvest section. Mosalim is a variety with a strong tip and an average spear diameter of around 22 mm. The stalks have a smooth, beautifully shaped outer quality that clearly stands out from the usual varieties on the market. The new Mosalim variety also stands for a uniform grading profile. A special feature is the high starting yield, which also gives the variety a high total yield. The asparagus foliage of Mosalim is characterised as healthy and vigorous. A variable harvesting rhythm of e.g. 2 days, depending on the temperature, is not a problem with this variety.
It is possible to grow Mosalim in different cultivation variants to enable efficient harvesting, e.g. in a double row. The variety should be planted in a standard single row with 5 plants per metre. The planting depth can vary between 15 cm and 25 cm, depending on how early the start should be. There are no special requirements for optimal success, a good basic nutrition should be the basis and sandy locations that are not prone to waterlogging are preferred.
