Successful restoration of over exploited species () depends upon variability, conservation and cultivation. Twelve elite accessions were characterized for fifteen quantitative and qualitative traits for sustainable cultivation and industrial uses. The evaluated accessions varied in morphology, herbage, root yield and shatavarin IV content. The accession DAR-7 was showing maximum herbage yield (1860 and 1850 g plant), fresh root weight (36.33 and 37.33 g plant), root girth (18.25 and 18.45 cm) and root yield (14.26 and 12.79 kg plant) in both the harvesting years. Shatavarin IV content in roots was maximum in DAR-14 (152.06 and 151.72 μg g), followed by DAR-28 (81.16 and 83.16 μg g). For economic yield accessions DAR-7, DAR-19, DAR-14, DAR-28 were found superior therefore, they may be further used in crop improvement program as valuable selection. In the cropping system they may act as a viable replacement of traditional crops , cumin, gram, cotton and groundnut. Asparagus cultivated under high density plantation ensured high economic return (Rs. 4.87 l hayear) with 3.66 B: C ratio, therefore, it could be considered a high returns substitute for traditional crops.
过度开发物种的成功恢复（）取决于变异性、保护和培育。对12个优良种质进行了15个数量和质量性状的鉴定，以实现可持续种植和工业利用。所评估的种质在形态、牧草、根产量和 Shatavarin IV 含量方面存在差异。在两个收获年份中，种质DAR - 7的牧草产量最高（分别为1860和1850克/株）、鲜根重最高（分别为36.33和37.33克/株）、根周长最大（分别为18.25和18.45厘米）以及根产量最高（分别为14.26和12.79千克/株）。根中 Shatavarin IV 含量在DAR - 14中最高（分别为152.06和151.72微克/克），其次是DAR - 28（分别为81.16和83.16微克/克）。就经济产量而言，发现种质DAR - 7、DAR - 19、DAR - 14、DAR - 28表现优异，因此，它们可作为有价值的选择进一步用于作物改良计划。在种植系统中，它们可以作为传统作物孜然、鹰嘴豆、棉花和花生的可行替代品。在高密度种植下栽培的芦笋确保了高经济回报（4.87卢比/公顷·年），效益成本比为3.66，因此，它可被视为传统作物的高回报替代品。
