Celery Vigor

Apium graveolens L.

A complex of celery characteristics reflecting the seed's ability to overcome the influence of germination inhibitors, as well as the intensity of vegetative mass accumulation.

In the reference 5 varieties crop Celery, where this is mentioned in the description.

Regarding celery seeds, vigor is assessed as the ability to germinate through a substrate layer 3–5 cm thick, which is critical due to the presence of coumarins in the seeds that retard development. High seed vigor ensures uniform germination and seedling evenness, which is a key condition for commercial cultivation of the crop.

As a varietal trait, vigor characterizes the intensity of vegetative mass formation and the development rate of the leaf rosette. For celery (stalk), this indicator is directly related to the formation of thickened, uniform stalks and the plant's ability to progress through developmental stages more quickly for successful competition with weeds.
