Abstract: Study on “Influence of photoselective shade nets on growth and yield of Asparagus” was carried out at KRC college of Horticulture, Arabhavi, Gokak, Karnataka during 2018-19. The result revealed that, among photoselective shade nets, plant height, plant spread and internodal length were higher under red shade net. Plants grown under grey shade net recorded higher number of cut cladophylls per plant (54.89) and per square meter (406.73). Cladophylls harvested from grey shade net recorded maximum vase life (12 days) followed by red (10.28 days). Among different asparagus species, A. densiflorus ‘Sprengeri’ performed better with respect to vegetative growth and yield. Higher cumulative number of cut cladophylls per plant (61.07) and per square meter (452.50) was recorded in A. densiflorus ‘Sprengeri’ followed by A. densiflorus ‘Myers’. A. densiflorus ‘Myers’ recorded maximum vase life (10.20 days) followed by A. myriocladus (10.10 days).
