SUNLIM
Sunlim is a 100% male hybrid that is ideal for green asparagus production in regions with a warm or Mediterranean climate. Sunlim combines early initial production with extremely high yields and excellent quality. Sunlim is also ideally suited to forced early cultivation.
Cultivation
Sunlim grows best on fertile, well-drained soils. Our own trials for green asparagus production conducted over a series of years showed that the best results were achieved with a planting density of 25,000 – 32,000 plants per hectare with a planting depth of 15 – 25 cm. The highest planting density can be used on fields that can be irrigated or where drip fertigation is installed. Sunlim is a 100% male hybrid, so it not only stands for a long and profitable production life, but it also produces no seedlings.
Products
Sunlim has a very high production potential and combines that with exceptional quality.
More than 70% of its uniform production is in diameter class 12 mm +. Even in warm or hot conditions, the tip of Sunlim remains firmly closed. Sunlim produces attractive, cylindrical, smooth spears.
Leaf stem
Sunlim has uniform, very upright foliage with good resistance to foliage diseases and lodging. As it forms no female berries, the foliage is hardly susceptible to lodging.
Seeds
All seed supplied by Limgroup is subjected to strict internal quality inspections to test germinating power and varietal purity. Before the seeds are supplied, they are inspected and tested again by Naktuinbouw, an independent inspection service regulated by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs.
