Asparaguses
Backlim
Backlim F1 is a 100% male hybrid and highly suitable for production of white asparagus in a temperate climate. Backlim also performs well in green asparagus production. This variety is also extremely good for harvesting in the 2nd half of the season, combined with the harvest of early varieties such as Avalim and Gijnlim. Backlim has evolved into the standard variety in greenhouse growing. Backlim gives reliable yields and quality, both in greenhouses and when field grown.
Gijnlim
Gijnlim F1 is a 100% male hybrid and ideally suited for cultivation of both white and green asparagus in temperate climate zones. This variety is an exceptionally early grower and gives very high productivity. Gijnlim is ideal for forced cultivation conditions. This variety is highly valued for direct from farm sales.
Thielim
Thielim F1 is a 100% male hybrid and highly suitable for production of white asparagus in a temperate climate. This variety has average earliness and a good production capacity. Thielim is suitable for both fresh sales as well as industrial processing or ready peeled sales.
Grolim
Grolim F1 is a 100% male hybrid, suitable for cultivation of white asparagus in both temperate climate zones and climates similar toSouth Europe. Grolim is ideal as a "high yield variety", as its exceptionally high stem weight contributes towards reducing labour costs. This early variety gives above average production.
Herkolim
Herkolim F1 is a 100% male hybrid and highly suitable for production of white asparagus in a temperate climate. This variety is middle-early and an ideal "yield crop", thanks to its high productivity combined with uniform thick stems. Herkolim is ideal for farms where improved results are required through reducing labour costs. Herkolim also performs well in heated conditions.
Horlim
Horlim has an average earliness. Horlim tastes very good and for reason is cultivated very often at famers which sell at the farmgate.
Horlim needs well-drained soils . Best results are achieved with a planting density of 3.5 to 4 plants per m1 and with a planting depth of 18 to 20 cm.
