Watering should be done once in two days. 3 weeks after planting the seeds will germination. In 75 days you can get good quality seedlings.
Land preparation :
60 days before planting celery, plant pakvit and loopin added to the land as resources.
Applied 30 ton/ ha of well decomposed farmyard manure. Along with farmyard manure, 5 ton bio compost manure, 5 ton Vermi Compost, 10kg Metarizium, 10kg Azhospirillum, 10kg phosphobacteria, 10 kg Mycorhiza root internal fungus, 1.25 ton neem cake, 2.5 kg Pseudomonas fluorescence and 2.5 kg Trichodermaviride can be applied.Plough the land well and then, 75 g composted cow manure, 1.5 kg cow dung herbal manure with 40 Litres of water mixed and spread as a large droplet to the ground and spray.
Planting :
Planting made during the rainy season. Good quality seedlings should be planting60 cm row to row and plant spacing.
Irrigation:
Proper and rapid irrigation requires for crop development. Need water once a week.
Post treatment:
The land must be maintained free from weeds. 4-5 times to remove the weeds for good growth of the crop.
Crop growth regulators :
- Panchagavya 3% solution to be spray 4 times at intervals of 15 days.
- Pre harvest spray10% earthworm infusion 4 times at 15 days interval.
- Horn silicamanure 2.5g mixed with 50 liters of water spray 15 days before harvest.
- Spray bio-herbal manure 5 kg / ha mixed with 200 liters of water (45, 60 and 75 days).

Harvested seeds depending upon the climate, dry it 5 to 10 days and stored in 700 thickness poly bags.1000 seeds weight is 0.43 kg. 85 kg of seed getting from one vine along entire harvest.Stored in a dry place, which is a disruption in the seed germination can protect up to 3 years.
Yield :
Yield of 1400 kg /ha |
