I found this on a site called Hortiscope included a link hope it works. Other than salt I don't use any chemicals on mine do have pull grass by hand occasionally.

Q: My asparagus has already emerged but I was told that I could still use princep on it. After reading your information, I'm thinking that perhaps I shouldn’t. I have purchased the princep but have not applied it. Can I use it or is there something else that you would recommend? (E-mail reference)

A: Once the asparagus spears have emerged, no herbicide is recommended. Herbicide applications should be made in early spring. If your weed population is too high, it may be necessary to dig and reset the crowns in a more weed-free environment. Some herbicides I found in my references for use on asparagus are 2,4-D, Dicamba, Glyphosphate, Linuron, Paraquat, Sethoxydim, Simazine, Terbacil, and Trifluralin.
