Abstract
Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) crops in Western
Australia were surveyed for the presence of asparagus rust (caused by
Puccinia asparagi) and asparagus stem blight (caused by
Phomopsis asparagi). Neither disease was detected during
a physical survey of 48% of the properties growing asparagus in the
state.
