TL;DR: Spring applications of NaCl suppressed the disease under various field conditions and were superior to KCl, KNO 3, NH 4 NO 3 , or Ca(NO 3 ) 2 in retarding asparagus decline and increasing marketable yields.
Abstract: The application of sodium chloride on asparagus beds, an old practice that has been abandoned, suppressed Fusarium crown and root rot caused by Fusarium oxysporum and F. proliferatum. Spring applications of NaCl (560-1, 120 kg/ha) suppressed the disease under various field conditions and were superior to KCl, KNO 3 , NH 4 NO 3 , or Ca(NO 3 ) 2 in retarding asparagus decline and increasing marketable yields (...)
