Celery TYPE TOP

Technical features of TIP TOP stalk celery

The selection product from Greenomica, marketed by OOO 'Grinomika', is positioned as a professional solution for intensive vegetable farming. The 'TIP TOP' variety belongs to the stalk celery group (Apium graveolens var. dulce), where the key productivity parameter is the formation of massive, dense petioles with an optimal content of essential oils and sugars.

Biological cycle and biomass formation

The vegetation period of 120–140 days from transplanting to technical maturity indicates a mid-late ripening group. From a technical perspective, this timeframe is critical for mass accumulation: the plant manages to form a powerful leaf rosette and, more importantly, gain turgor in the petioles before the onset of unfavorable temperature conditions at the end of the season. Slow, consistent development ensures a high yield of marketable produce per unit area.

Advantages of Greenomica genetics

• Rosette structure: Vertical petiole arrangement minimizes contact with the soil, reducing the risk of fungal diseases and facilitating mechanized harvesting.
• Stem quality: Genetic predisposition to forming fleshy, low-fiber petioles makes the product suitable for both the fresh market and industrial processing.
• Stress resistance: A long vegetation period requires the plant to have high adaptability to diurnal temperature fluctuations, which the breeders have incorporated into this model.

The use of 'TIP TOP' in crop rotation is justified when a high-quality drip irrigation system is available, alongside a competent fertilization scheme that accounts for the crop's potassium requirements during the final stages of stem development.
