A hybrid maleplant () denoted 'NJ953' has many desirable traits including vigorous plant growth, high yield, attractive spear morphology, good resistance to rust () and good field tolerance toroot rot () andcrown rot (). These desirable traits have been shown to be transmissible to its progenies. The invention relates to plants and plant parts of 'NJ953' plant. The invention further relates to hybridseeds and plants produced by crossing the'NJ953' plant with anotherplant.

Malehybrid plant 'NJ953'

A male() hybrid denoted 'NJ977'. The plant has many desirable traits including vigorous plant growth, high yield, good resistance to rust () and good field tolerance toroot and crown rot caused byand. These desirable traits have been shown to be transmissible to its progenies. The invention relates to plants and plant parts of 'NJ977' plant. The invention further relates to hybridseeds and plants produced by crossing the male'NJ977' plant with any femaleplant.

Malehybrid plant 'NJ977'

A femaleplant () denoted 'NJ44P' was developed through extensive culture and selection from a field of the variety Mary Washington. Plant 'NJ44P' has many desirable traits including vigorous plant growth, high yield, good resistance to rust () and good field tolerance to asparagus root rot () andcrown rot (). These desirable traits have been shown to be transmissible to its progenies. The invention relates to plants and plant parts of 'NJ44P' plant. The invention further relates to hybrid asparagus seeds and plants produced by crossing the&#x2018;NJ44P&#x2019; plant with anotherplant.

Asparagus plant named 'NJ44P'

A new and distinct(Linn.) plant denoted 'NJ22-34' which is homozygous for male sex gene was developed through extensive breeding and selection.hybrid 'NJ22-34' has many desirable traits including homogenous in male genes, good resistance to rust () and good field tolerance toroot rot () andcrown rot (). Because 'NJ22-34' is a homozygous-male plant all its F1 progenies will be male plants. This invention relates to the plant and plant parts of &#x2018;NJ22-34&#x2019;. The invention further relates to hybridseeds and plants produced by crossingplant &#x2018;NJ22-34&#x2019; with anotherplant.

Homozygous male asparagus plant named 'NJ22-34'

A new and distinct all-male() hybrid denoted 'NJ 854' was developed through extensive breeding and selection.hybrid 'NJ 854' has many desirable traits including vigorous plant growth, high yield, good resistance to rust () and good field tolerance toroot rot () andcrown rot (). The plants and plant parts of 'NJ 854' are described as well as the hybridseeds and plants produced by crossingplant &#x2018;NJ 854&#x2019; with anotherplant.
