THE QUALITY OF SEEDLINGS OF CELERY STALKS, DEPENDING ON THE METHOD OF GROWING

Abstract

It is shown that for a more efficient use of the greenhouse area, the tape method of growing seedlings is more beneficial. Under the use of traditional methods of cultivation, seedlings with the best indicators (weight, height, thickness of root collar, the area and number of leaves) were obtained. The tape method of growing with a larger feeding area (4x4, 6x6 cm) provided the same results. However, the percentage of survivability of plants grown with the tape method after transplantation outdoors was significantly higher in the cluster seedlings of plants (up to 99,5 %) than in plants grown in the traditional way
