Reasons for the increase of crude fiber in celery petiole and its preventive measures

In the process of celery planting, farmers are more afraid that one of the problems is the increase of petiole crude fiber, which will seriously affect the variety and sales of celery and reduce income. So what is the reason for the increase in celery crude fiber? How can measures be taken to avoid it? Let's learn more about it with the editor.

I. reasons for the increase of crude fiber

The normal celery has less fiber, crisp petiole and good quality. in the process of planting, due to environmental factors such as high temperature and drought, lack of fertilizer and water, or improper cultivation techniques, the thick wall tissue increases, the thick angle tissue thickens and the cellulose increases. Greatly reduce the edible quality.

II. Preventive measures

1. The selection of varieties should be suitable

The fiber content of celery varies greatly among different varieties. Generally, the fiber content of green petiole is high, while the fiber content of white and yellowish green petiole is less, and the fiber content of solid straw celery is less than that of empty straw celery. So try to choose varieties with less cellulose content when planting.

2. Strengthen cultivation and management.

After the end of squatting seedlings, 1-2 chemical fertilizers were applied to extract seedlings, 15 kg of ammonium sulfate or 20 kg of ammonium bicarbonate were applied per mu. When the plant grew to about 30 cm, fertilizer should be applied twice, or thick dung water could be applied again at intervals of 10 days. Apply chemical fertilizer or dung water once before buckling shed, pay attention to ventilation when applying ammonia bicarbonate to avoid ammonia poisoning, and try to use less urea when topdressing. If urea is used too much, the crude fiber of celery will increase.

3. Plant growth regulator

Spraying gibberellic acid solution can be used in the peak growth period, which can not only increase the yield, but also reduce the fiber content and improve the quality.

4. Timely harvest

Timely harvest is also one of the measures to prevent celery aging and fiber increase, celery should be harvested in time after growing, if the harvest is too late, celery petiole aging, not only easy to hollow, but also caused an increase in fiber, quality decline.

The above are the reasons for the increase of crude fiber in celery petiole and preventive measures. I hope it can help you. If you want to know more about it, please follow us.
