Celery should grow in fertile soil with convenient drainage and irrigation, water and fertilizer retention, loose air permeability and high organic matter content. Although celery has low requirements for soil, it can also grow in clay, sandy soil and other soils. However, sandy soil is easy to cause the loss of fertilizer and water, and clay is easy to harden, which is not conducive to their emergence, so the most suitable for celery growth is loam or sandy loam. 1、 What kind of soil is better for growing celery? It is better to plant celery with fertile, deep, loose, breathable, water and Fertilizer Retaining soil. The growth of celery needs a lot of organic matter and trace elements. Only fertile and deep soil can grow good celery. When the soil is not fertile enough, celery will have problems such as hollowness and aging.
Celery is a crop with difficult emergence. If the soil is hardened or sticky, it is likely to cause celery to emerge slowly and irregularly. Therefore, in order to ensure the emergence rate of celery, it is necessary to choose loose soil. In addition, because celery consumes a large amount of fertilizer and water, the ability of soil to retain water and fertilizer should be strong enough. The quality and yield of celery stems and leaves can be guaranteed only if there is enough water and nutrients during celery growth. 2、 What kind of fertilizer is better for growing celery 1. Base fertilizer: because the organic matter content of farm fertilizer is relatively high, it is best to apply rotten farm fertilizer as base fertilizer when planting celery. Although this fertilizer takes effect slowly, it has a long period of validity and can provide nutrients for celery at all stages of growth.
2. Topdressing: the topdressing of celery shall be carried out according to the growth condition, and the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer shall also be paid attention to. Lack of nitrogen fertilizer in the period of growing stems and leaves will lead to softening and hollowing of celery stems and leaves. Insufficient foliar fertilizer will also lead to petiole cracking. Therefore, topdressing should be carried out in time to avoid their lack of nutrition. （ChongQinCaiYongShenMeTuBiJiaoHao）
