Growing «Reznoy» Celeriac: Practical Field Notes

Managing root celery requires attention to leaf health, as fungal spots can ruin a crop long before harvest. «Reznoy» from Euro-Semena has proven to be a robust choice for those struggling with Mycosphaerella and brown spot. From a grower's perspective, it offers a reliable, low-maintenance cycle if you manage your planting window correctly.

Cultivation and Performance

The variety requires a 120–140 day growing season. To hit these numbers, early seedling preparation is key. I have found that the plant stands up well against common leaf spots, which reduces the need for frequent fungicide interventions, keeping the production cycle clean and cost-effective.

• Root Quality: The bulbs are dense and uniform, with minimal lateral root hair growth, making washing and trimming much faster.
• Disease Management: Exceptional resistance to foliage spots allows the plant to focus its energy on building root mass throughout the entire vegetative period.
• Yield Potential: With consistent irrigation and proper plant spacing, the yield is highly predictable.

The key to success with «Reznoy» is not crowding the rows. Even a resistant variety can become stressed if air circulation is poor. Give it enough space, keep the soil moist, and you will get a high-quality product that stores well through the winter. For those who prioritize efficiency in handling and low field maintenance, this variety is an excellent fit for the crop rotation.
