ABSTRACT



The studies concerned the effect of green manure and soil liming on the yielding of rooted celery, ‘Edward’ cv. Celeries were cultivated directly after organic fertilization. The plants intended for green manure were sown in July and they were ploughed over in October. The yielding of celery was related to the weather conditions in particular years of the experiment. The highest yields of celery were obtained in 2002. A significant influence on the yield of storage roots and the leaves of rooted celery was exerted by soil liming and the kind of applied organic fertilizer. A higher yield of callosities - both total and commercial – was obtained on the soil where the carbonate lime fertilizer was used. The best yields were obtained of celeries cultivated after ploughing in faba bean and manure. Green manure in the form of phacelia, rye and winter vetch had a similar or greater yield-forming effect than rye straw in the quantity of 6 t·ha-1. Joint application of soil liming and orga
