Synopsis
Breeding for rust resistance in asparagus made practical.
This study lays out the history of asparagus rust in America and how growers can build durable, resistant varieties through careful breeding, testing, and selection.
The book walks through seed collection, hand pollination, and the testing methods that reveal how resistance is inherited. It also covers how to manage seed crops, evaluate progeny, and use simple biometrics to guide decisions. Readers will find step-by-step approaches that connect field results with greenhouse observations, helping breeders and growers work toward reliable, high-quality plants.
