I use no weed killer on my asparagus for the last 18 years. I only use salt. I put 40 pounds on one a 35 foot long row. I have 4 rows so I use 4 bags. Dragging the harrow over it now you probably damaged most of the crowns that were ready to poke thru so you most likely set it back by 2 weeks.
In the spring like 3 weeks ago I spread salt and took the tiller to work it in about an inch to an inch and a half. It's weed free most of the summer. I make another 1/2 application of salt in early fall. Asparagus is a sea weed and you're not going to hurt it with salt. It loves chicken manure also. I also use 12-12-12 fertilizer in the spring also. We raised asparagus at home for a living and you can't kill it unless you cut it too much and don't let some of the stalks grow to complete their life cycle. Stop cutting June 1st. I would not spray roundup on the weeds because that will kill any asparagus it touches.
