What does celery do? Root celery is celery with brittle roots and petioles. Compared with celery, celery is light in taste, and has the health care functions of lowering blood pressure, calming, diuresis and stimulating appetite. Especially suitable for the elderly. Today we are going to talk about the artificial planting technology of celery. Details are as follows.

Planting time

Root celery is mainly planted in spring and autumn, in February and March in spring, mainly in greenhouse, at the end of April and harvested at the end of August. Because root celery grows in a humid environment, it should be planted in a low temperature place. If the temperature is high in summer, it can be planted in autumn.

Sowing and seedling raising

Root celery has hard peel, poor water absorption, weak germination and growth, poor emergence and low germination rate. Before sowing, soak seeds to accelerate germination, and control the water temperature at 25℃. Then soak the seeds in warm water for 9 hours. Take out the seeds after soaking, wash them and dry them. After mixing the seeds with the soil, sow them on the seedbed. The seedbed soil should be fine, then base fertilizer and water should be applied, and the temperature should be controlled within 20 degrees. At the same time, daily management should be strengthened to promote seed germination.

Timely planting

Before planting celery, choose a plot with deep soil and sufficient fertility. After clearing the garden, we should cultivate deeply, apply base fertilizer properly, control planting density and transplant properly. When transplanting and digging seedlings, we should pay attention to avoid the loss of celery roots. It is best to transplant with the soil, so as not to cause loss to the root system, but also to continue to provide nutrition for celery during the transplanting process.

housekeeping

Root celery likes water, but it is not suitable for a large number of watering in the actual planting and watering process. Root celery in the peak growth period, the principle is not to dry and water the ground. In order to promote the expansion of celery fleshy roots, sufficient water should be ensured during the expansion period of fleshy roots, and then appropriate topdressing should be carried out. At the same time, weeding should be done well, leaves should be picked in time, air permeability in the field should be improved, and celery roots should be prevented from hollowing out.
