What is the best row spacing and plant spacing for celery planting?

Celery Planting Spacing

When planting celery, the plant spacing is generally about 10cm , and the row spacing is generally about 15-20cm . However, due to different varieties planted, the plant spacing and row spacing will also be different.

If it is celery, the plant spacing is generally about 20cm, and if it is celery, the plant spacing is generally about 8cm. In addition, the planting depth must also be controlled well, and its roots should not be exposed, otherwise it will affect its normal growth in the later stage.

Celery yield per mu

Under conventional planting, the average yield of open-air celery is about 2,000-3,000 kg/mu, but due to different sowing times, methods and management styles, the yield will vary to a certain extent, so it needs to be determined based on actual conditions.

In order to increase the yield of celery, it is generally necessary to pay attention to the application of phosphorus, potassium and calcium fertilizers. Under normal circumstances, 400 kg of decomposed chicken manure plus 20 kg of balanced fertilizer can be used as base fertilizer. On the basis of the base fertilizer, 15 kg of calcium nitrate can be applied.

Celery Harvest Time

Celery can be picked and harvested 50 to 60 days after planting and when the petiole length reaches 40 cm. Harvesting should start 5 cm from the base of the plant and do not pick excessively. Celery can usually be picked for the first time before New Year's Day, when only 2 to 3 leaves can be picked. It can be harvested for the second time before the Spring Festival, and the whole plant can be pulled up after the Spring Festival.
