  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Celery seedlings (<jats:italic>Apium graveolens</jats:italic> L. cv. Florida 683) were seeded in multicell styrofoam trays containing a commercial peat mix. They were fertilized with nutrient solutions at two nitrogen fertilizations (150 or 350 mg N/liter), two NO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>:NH<jats:sub>4</jats:sub> ratios (2:1 or 3:1), and two urea-N levels (0% or 50%) in factorial combinations to determine main and interactive effects of urea on seedling growth, nutrient status, and crop yield. Urea used in combination with low N improved the percentage of shoot dry matter and increased leaf area, shoot and root dry weight, and root: shoot ratio of the seedlings. Urea proved beneficial in improving transplant yield potential under high-N fertilization.</jats:p>
