Quackgrass can outcompete asparagus for nutrients and water, potentially stunting its growth.
Bittersweet is known to spread aggressively and can smother or outcompete asparagus.
Aphids are small, sap-sucking insects that can cause distortion of the asparagus leaves. Infestation can result in stunted growth and yellowing leaves.
Tiny spider mites create webbing on the foliage and suck sap from the leaves, causing yellowing and leaf drop. Severe infestation will result in noticeable damage.
