If you want to grow celery to obtain high yield, the planting environment is very important. A good environment is the key to ensuring high yield of celery. Then, what kind of environment is suitable for celery growth? Let's take a look with the editor below.

temperature

Celery is a cool and gentle plant. The suitable temperature for seed germination is 18～25℃, the lowest temperature is 4～6℃, the suitable temperature for seedling stage is 15～20℃, and it can tolerate low temperature of -4～5℃ and high temperature of about 30℃ for a short time. , The root system can survive the winter at a low temperature of about -15°C, and the suitable temperature during the vegetative growth period is 16-20°C. If the temperature is higher than 20°C, the growth will be poor, and disease will easily occur and quality will be reduced.

Moisture

Celery root system is shallow, mostly about 12-18 cm, so it is not tolerant to drought and prefers moist soil. Especially in the peak growth period, when the ground is covered with white fibrous roots, sufficient water is needed, otherwise the growth will stagnate and the mechanical tissue in the petiole Developed, yield and quality decrease.

Soil nutrition

Celery is suitable for growing in loam or clay loam that is rich in organic matter, water retention, and fertility. For every 100 kilograms of celery, 40 grams of nitrogen, 14 grams of phosphorus, and 60 grams of potassium are required. When nitrogen is deficient, the plants are short and the petioles are easy to age and hollow. , Especially in the later period of nitrogen deficiency, the impact is greatest. In addition, celery has a strong demand for boron. When boron is lacking, celery petioles are prone to splitting. 0.5-0.75 kg of borax per mu can be applied.
