If celery is intended for immediate sale, the leaves can be left intact. However, if it is meant for storage or processing, the leaves are cut off. The yield of celery root can range from 30 to 50 t\/ha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Harvesting Celery Root<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Celery root can be harvested using specialized machinery, such as the one shown in the image, if the harvest includes leaves. Alternatively, beet or potato harvesting machines can be used, with the leaves being cut off beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Harvesting Stalk Celery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Stalk celery is harvested at physiological maturity when the outer petioles are firm and crisp. It is harvested manually by cutting at the root neck zone, removing the first layer of outer leaves, and trimming the upper leaves so that the petioles are about 40 cm long. Harvesting should not be delayed, as the petioles can become spongy and unusable. A technologically ripe and cleaned petiole weighs 50 – 70 g, with a yield of 30 – 50 t\/ha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Harvesting Leaf Celery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Leaf celery is first harvested in the second half of July. Under favorable conditions, three cuts can be achieved, yielding 50 – 80 t\/ha of leaves. After each cut, the plants are fertilized with 40 – 50 kg\/ha of nitrogen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Storing Celery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Celery root can be stored in controlled cold storage conditions (temperature 0\u00b0C, relative humidity 97%) for up to 8 months. For shorter storage periods, it can be stored in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Storing Stalk Celery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Stalk celery can be stored for 4 – 8 weeks at a temperature of 0 – 1\u00b0C and a relative humidity of 98%. At a temperature of 5\u00b0C (in a refrigerator), stalk celery can be kept for up to 2 weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If celery is intended for immediate sale, the leaves can be left intact.
