Celery Nitrogen Uptake and Partitioning
The Fertilization guidelines can also be found on the UC Davis Nutrient Management website .
Seasonal N Uptake
Aboveground seasonal N uptake from drip-irrigated celery grown in Santa Ana, California (red line) and the coast of Spain (blue line), and direct-seeded, furrow irrigated celery in Salinas (green line). Yields were between 500-1000 cwt/acre. For transplanted celery, uptake is slow for about 45 days after transplanting. Uptake normally increases steadily until harvest [1,2,3].
Nitrogen Removed at Harvest
Nitrogen removed with harvested celery.
