Abstract
One of the big obstacles to cultivate asparagus was long days taking before first harvesting. This study was carried out to hasten the first harvesting of summer planted asparagus in Jeju. Seedlings were raised for three months and planted June 20th in green house. Harvesting of Spring were separated into non-harvested (control) and harvested (partly-harvesting, completely-harvesting). The first year we could harvest $399kg{\sim}400kg/10a$ in harvesting treatment. Second year's yield was 834kg/10a in partly-harvesting, 825kg/10a in completely-harvesting treatment and 908kg/10a in control. There is no significant difference in second years yield regardless of first year's harvesting methods. The accumulated total yield was increased by 35% (l,229kg/10a) in harvesting treatment from the first spring compared with the control. Marketable yield was increased by 33% (1,116kg/10a) compared with non harvesting in first year (839kg/10a). The result of this study shows that doing harvest of the first year's spring in summer planting asparagus would be desirable for yield and possible to harvest after 8 months planting.
