How to fertilize celery to make it grow better?

Celery originates from plants in the Mediterranean and the Middle East. It is a vegetable variety that many families like to buy on a daily basis. Common cooking methods include celery dried tofu , celery fried beef, etc. Celery also contains active ingredients with pharmacological effects, so it shows extremely high value in both the edible and medical fields. Let’s learn together how to fertilize celery to make it grow better.

1. Base fertilizer

Apply sufficient base fertilizer before planting. You can choose decomposed chicken manure fertilizer, and apply calcium nitrate to supplement calcium fertilizer3. The base fertilizer is mainly decomposed high-quality organic fertilizer , supplemented with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.

2. Topdressing

During the growth period of celery seedlings, mainly apply compound fertilizer , and appropriately supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to ensure sufficient water and fertilizer. Apply fertilizer once after the seedlings have grown, 20 kg of nitric acid and phosphate fertilizer per mu. Then apply 20 kg of nitric acid and phosphate fertilizer every 20 days by flushing. Stop applying fertilizer 20 days before harvest.

3. Foliar fertilizer

During the growth process, nutrients can be supplemented by spraying foliar fertilizers. Calcium fertilizers can be supplemented with 0.5% calcium chloride or calcium nitrate solutions, and boron fertilizers can be supplemented with 0.3%-0.5% borax solutions.

4. Fertilization time

Celery planted in the spring can be fertilized in March or April, while celery planted in the fall can be fertilized in July or August. Fertilize celery for seed during the flowering period.

5. Fertilization method

When the soil is dark in color, it means that the soil is fertile and the fertilizer can be diluted and poured into the soil. When the soil color is light, it means that the soil lacks fertilizer and fertilizer can be added directly to the soil.

6. Notes

Avoid using uncomposted organic fertilizers to avoid root burn. Pay attention to supplementing trace elements, such as boron and calcium, to prevent celery from splitting or rotting.

Based on the above suggestions, reasonable fertilization is the key to the healthy growth of celery. In addition, later management also requires keeping the soil moist, providing sufficient sunlight, and picking leaves in time to improve ventilation between plants.
