Abstract
Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) is an important vegetable crop in over 17 countries (Reuther 1984). A disease syndrome known as asparagus decline, primarily caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. asparagi Cohen and Heald and F. moniliforme (Sheld.), decreases annual yields of asparagus over time, and is found throughout the world (Cohen and Heald 1941; Graham 1955; Grogan and Kimble 1959; Van Bakel and Kerstens 1970; Endo and Burkholder 1971). Conventional methods of controlling Fusarium spp. are limited due to the lack of effective chemicals, limited long-term effectiveness of fumigation because of the perennial nature of the crop (Lacy 1979), and rapid colonization of young asparagus plants by Fusarium spp. in the field (Damicone and Manning 1985). To date, no Fusarium-resistant varieties have been developed.
