Seasonal N Uptake

Aboveground seasonal N uptake from drip-irrigated celery grown in Santa Ana, California (red line) and the coast of Spain (blue line), and direct-seeded, furrow irrigated celery in Salinas (green line). Yields were between 500-1000 cwt/acre. For transplanted celery, uptake is slow for about 45 days after transplanting. Uptake normally increases steadily until harvest ^[1,2,3].
