Drouth Impacts Celery Crops Tied to Boron Shortage
Lancaster farming notes that drouth stresses made boron deficiency evident in celery. Signs include pediole browning and vascular bundle ash. No cure exists yet though Penn State tests seek tolerant celery varieties. Field tests with Houser stock and H-46 selections advance, while fertilizer guidance urges soil pH 6.2–6.8 and 1500–2000 pounds of 5-10-10 with possible nitrogen side dress. Penn State experts Dr Robert Fletcher Dr B L Pollack and Dr George Taylor attended.
