Growing Wasabi in the Pacific Northwest

Carol Miles and, Catherine Chadwick (May, 2008)

Summary

This publication outlines all aspects of wasabi production, including cultivar selection, plant propagation, horticultural practices, soil fertility, harvest, storage, and pest management. Since wasabi is a new crop in the United States, information on its production here is limited. Japanese authors writing on native growing conditions and experiences are the source for much of the information in this publication. Growers in the Pacific Northwest are advised to experiment with this research and adapt the findings for their particular environment.
