Pisarczyk and Richard L. Hasse11 2 Sixteen cultivars or promising breeding lines of celery were compared in replicated trials at the Muck Crops Branch in the 1982 season. Cultural in-formation and tabular data summary are included in the following: Cultural Information Seed was sown in flats in the greenhouse in early April, seedlings were trans-planted into 080A Speedling flats, and the celery was transplanted into the field on June 11, 1982. Eight hundred pounds of a 6-24-12 fertilizer were applied and disced in prior to planting. Side-dressing of ammonium nitrate (100 lb/A) was made twice during the second and fourth week of planting. Randomized replicated plots consisted of paired rows spaced 34 inches, with 40 inches between the paired rows for equipment clearance. Plants were spaced 6.5 inches in the row, with 110 plants per 30 foot double-row plot and replicated five times for each cultivar. Standard insecticide and fungicide sprays were applied regularly throughout the season. Celery was harvested on September 10, 1982. Data on total yield, stalk size, trim loss, length and number of petioles are listed in Table 1. Seed Sources We would like to acknowledged that each seed company donated the seed for these celery cultivar studies.
