Abstract
Introducing new plants to an area may have both positive and negative effects on the environment, economy and community. To minimise the negative environmental impact of introducing new agricultural species, DPIRD conducts a risk assessment procedure based on widely accepted scientific standards. This report assesses Asparagus officinalis. Asparagus (garden asparagus) is an herbaceous, perennial plant, and the young shoots are used as a spring vegetable. Native to Europe, it originally grew in coastal sand dunes and has some salt tolerance.
