Variety traits

Yield — Celeriac

Apium graveolens L. var. rapaceum (Mill.) Gaud.

The yield of celeriac is determined by the mass of the marketable root and is measured in kg/m² or c/ha. This metric depends on maintaining a long growing season, moisture management, and specific techniques for root formation.

In the reference 15 varieties crop Celeriac, where this is mentioned in the description.

When calculating yield, the primary marketable portion is the fully formed root that meets botanical standards for shape, cleaned of lateral roots and petioles. The average mass of a single root varies from 300 to 800 g, although some high-yielding varieties are capable of reaching 1–3 kg. Under variety trial conditions, yields range from 2.8 to 5.0 kg/m², while values below 300 g per plant usually indicate violations of agrotechnical practices.

Critical factors for productivity include the use of the transplant method due to the long growing season (120–200 days) and the avoidance of hilling. To obtain a marketable root, soil removal and the trimming of lateral roots are employed, which directs resources toward the development of the central part. Temperature conditions play an important role: planting in soil colder than +12°C triggers bolting, which prevents crop formation.
