Abstract
Some effects of seed treatments on celery crop quality, as measured by effects on plant morphology, were compared.
Treatments included drilling of seed primed with polyethylene glycol, fluid drilling and growing of the crop using the conventional transplanting method on mineral and peat soil.
Treatments included drilling of seed primed with polyethylene glycol, fluid drilling and growing of the crop using the conventional transplanting method on mineral and peat soil.
There was no difference in plant height, axillary shoot number or petiole number between early and mid April sowing on mineral or peat soil in 1978. In 1977 plant height and axillary shoot number were greater from the early April sowing while petiole number was greater from mid April sowing.
Petiole number was greater in the transplanted crop than in the drilled crop, on both soil types.
Plant height was also greater in the transplanted crop on mineral soil in 1977 and on peat soil in 1978.
