UNDER THE PLANTS’ IRRIGATION AND HARVESTING METHOD Ewa Ro żek, Renata Nurzy ńska-Wierdak, Andrzej Sałata, Piotr Gumiela University of Life Sciences on Lublin Abstract. Qualitative and quantitative composition of the essential oil is subject to differ- ent types of variability. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of irrigation and harvest date on the content and composition of essential oil distilled from leaves, petioles and leaf blades of Apium graveolens L. var. secalinum Alef. Drip irrigation was carried out twice in the third 10 days of July and twice in the third 10 days of August. A single dose of water was 20 mm. The raw material was harvested on September 7 and October 17, thus collecting leaves after 120 and 161 days of plant growth, respectively. Irrigation increased the concentration of volatile substances in leaf blades (0.68%) and decreased the content of these components in petioles (0.24%). Celery leaves harvested in October contained significantly less essential oil (0.34%) compared to those collected in the first 10 days of September (0.53%). Monoterpenes proved to be the main fraction in the essen- tial oil of leaf celery, limonene and myrcene being predominant among them. Most limo- nene (75.77%) was found in petioles of irrigated plants. Leaves of irrigated plants con- tained more limonene and less myrcene compared to leaves of non-irrigated plants.

Response of Celery and Celeriac Cultivars to Infection by Cercospora Apii1
*Warsaw University of Life Sciences, Warsaw, Poland **Bio Agris, Warsaw, Poland RESPONSE OF CELERY AND CELERIAC CULTIVARS TO INFECTION BY CERCOSPORA APII1 *W. Wakuliński, *Cz. Zamorski, *B. Nowicki and **P. Zajkowski Abstract Early blight is one of the most destructive diseases of celery, celeriac and smalage as well. In 2006–2008 18 celeriac and five celery cultivars were tested in field experiment for reaction to Cercospora apii. All the cultivars tested were found susceptible to infection (basing on applied disease severity scale). Moreover, the disease displayed substantial influence on fresh weight of leaves and roots. Mass reduction was variable, depending on year and cultivar, and reached the value up to 90% and 94% for leaves and roots respectively. Key words: early blight, celery, celeriac, Cercospora Introduction Early blight, also called Cercospora leaf blight, is considered one of the most important fungal diseases of Apium graveolens. It has been reported on celery, celeriac and smalage as well. The causal factor blight is Cercospora apii. Despite the fact that it was described as early as 1863 by Fresenius, mycological status of the fungus is still unclear. Chupp (1954) suggested that Cercospora is a host specific ge- nus and the range of plants infected by C. apii is limited to A. graveolens. On the con- trary, Crous and Brawn (2003) considered C. apii a taxon in which the process of speciation is not yet finished and included to this species 281 morphologically in- distinguishable entities previously treated as different Cercospora taxons. Accord- ing to their concept C. apii sensu lato is a polyphagous and biologically complex species.

Planting & Growing: Sowing–usually planted out in the garden as transplants. Start seeds indoors 10-12 weeks before average last frost date. To reduce germination time, seed may be pre-soaked in warm water. Press seed into a quality soilless mix (Quickroot) that is pre-dampened. Seeds need light for germination, so cover lightly with soilless mix. Cover with lids/domes to maintain moisture. Place in a bright spot out of direct light and maintain at 70-75°F. Seeds can take up to 3 weeks to germinate. Use a ﬁne mist to keep seeds moist. Transplanting–Plant outdoors when temperatures are at least 50°F during the day and no lower than 40°F at night. Harden off by reducing Celery Types: water slightly and keeping outdoors a few days prior to placement in garden beds. Plants should have at least 4 mature leaves before Celery (Pascal-most common variety grown)–Grown for long, crunchy transplanting to the garden. Space rows about 2 feet apart and plants stalks; 105 to 130 days to harvest. about 1 foot apart, closer for celeriac. Plant in full sun or part shade (during the hottest part of the day). Keep consistently moist by using drip Celeriac–Enlarged mild ﬂavored root grown for consumption; 100-120 irrigation (avoid overhead watering) and mulch to help control weeds and days to harvest; prefers coastal conditions. In USDA zones 7 and above, maintain moisture.
