A new and distinct asparagus (Asparagus officinalis Linn.) plant denoted
`NJ22-34` which is homozygous for male sex gene was developed through
extensive breeding and selection. Asparagus hybrid `NJ22-34` has many
desirable traits including homogenous in male genes, good resistance to
rust (Puccinia asparagi) and good field tolerance to asparagus root rot
(Fusarium oxysporum) and asparagus crown rot (Fusarium moniliforme).
Because `NJ22-34` is a homozygous-male plant all its Fl progenies will be
male plants. This invention relates to the plant and plant parts of
`NJ22-34`. The invention further relates to hybrid asparagus seeds and
plants produced by crossing asparagus plant `NJ22-34` with another
asparagus plant.
