Dear sir
For shatavari the foll should be folowed
Black, well drained and fertile soil is good for cultivation. But can be cultivated in loose and medium black soil.
It responses well to tropical and hot climate.
One ploughing, 3 harrowings and then apply 20-25 tonns of farm yard manure.

Nursery preparation-
1) raised beds -1X3 m in the month of May or june.
2) Seed –one kg for one hectare area.
3) Apply 50 gram urea in the bed after 20-25 days. Seedlings become ready within 6-8 weeks for transplantation in the main field.

Transplanting- 1) Size of pit-45X45X45cm
2) spacing-row to row-1.5m and plant to plant-1.0m
3) Fill the pits with 20-30 gram lindane or carbaryl and 5 kgs of FYM
4) Time of transplanting – july-august
5) provide the crop with 50 gms of 15:5:15(suphala) per plant when it starts with good growth.
6) Carry out timely weeding operations. Generally shatavari crop does not affect with pest and diseases.

Harvesting-
1) first harvesting – 1.5-2 years after transplanting, which continues for 10-15 years.

There are two - three types shatavari in the market. white shatavari is normally selling below 100 rupee per kg, it is called Asparagus racemosus. yellow shtavari or nepali's shatavari is selling up to Rs 300-400/ kg. Asparagus adscendens is also considered as white shatavari. Asparagus ifficinalis tuber as well as young shoots are used in foreign countries. All these can be cultivated and get good revenue.aromedindia business member has recently posted a thread. You can get seeds of Nepaly shatavari from them
