Soil
Asparagus grows best in deep, well-drained sandy or sandy-loam soils where crowns can establish without risk of waterlogging. High aeration is essential. Optimal soil pH is 6.5–7.5
Irrigation
Drip irrigation is preferred to maintain uniform moisture levels while minimizing foliage wetting and disease risk
Temperature
Optimal growth occurs between 18°C and 30°C
Light
Full sunlight is needed for strong spear production and vigorous fern growth, which is crucial for carbohydrate storage
