Abstract

There are 300 species of asparagus (Asparagus L.) in the world, and 9 species are widespread in the wild flora of Azerbaijan. Among these species, medicinal asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) and asparagus (A. Vertisillatus L.) are still harvested from wild flora as vegetables and medicinal plants. As a cultivated plant, there are only collections and small experimental plantations exist. This valuable plant, which is cultivated in large areas in European and American countries, has not yet reached larger areas and not recognized as industrial crops in Azerbaijan. The main reason for this is that the population has little knowledge about asparagus (doesn't know its importance and possibilities of use), late harvest (after 3-4 years), low productivity, and it is difficult to cultivate and expensive. The article covers the issues like the importance of medicinal asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) in increasing the variety of vegetables, its potential uses as a valuable vegetable plant, its importance as a profitable export product, as well as, as an important medicinal and beautiful ornamental plant, the year-by-year increase in asparagus production and its cultivated areas in different areas of the world. The article provides the results of carried out scientific researches in this field. In the conducted scientific research, in order to study the cultivation technology of the multi-stem Q2 cultivar sample obtained as a result of multiple mass improvement selections of the medicinal asparagus variety Argenteylskaya rannyaya of American origin in accordance with local conditions, research works were carried out in the directions of intensification of seedling cultivation and research of planting schemes of asparagus (Q-2).
