Will it kill Asparagus if it touches the stems when applied on surrounding weeds??
Would imagine that it would kill asparagus by contact, if it's what I think its is, i.e. paraquat? Didn't think you could still get it.

Gramoxone was banned for supply in September 2007 and became illegal to use in July 2008.
What AM I saying??
I meant, of course, Glyphosate.
Although it is a weed killer, it cannot tell the difference between a weed and a plant you want to keep so it kills them all dead! Unless you have a GM crop of asparagus which can be made to be immune from weedkillers.
I thought, perhaps, that it might not be taken up by the stems?
It's taken up by any green tissue, and I'd be extremely wary of any contact whatever with plant growth that isn't protected by a thick layer of bark.
Ah, well - try it the hard way!!
