Petroselinum crispum - Astra

A root vegetable classified as a biennial plant. It is a source of provitamin A and vitamins B, C, E, and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium, sodium and phosphorus. In the first year, the plant develops a white taproot and glossy, long-stalked, richly serrated leaves. In the second year, it flowers in summer. Parsley is divided into root parsley and leaf parsley. Leaf parsley is then divided into flat-leaf and curly parsley. Curly parsley is used in soups and salads. Flat-leaf parsley is used primarily as a seasoning and for tea, which stimulates appetite. The leaf form is also used for decorating cold dishes and flavoring them. It can also be dried and frozen. The root form is very suitable for heat treatment, especially in soups, salads and also for frying. It is also suitable for storage.

How to Grow Parsley

  • Root parsley requires plenty of light, curly parsley tolerates partial shade well. During dry periods, it needs regular watering. During the growing season, parsley requires regular watering and fertilization. In dry periods, regular watering is essential! During root parsley cultivation, the plot must be weeded regularly.

  • Early varieties of root parsley are sown in beds in October to November, late varieties are sown in early spring when the soil is still saturated with water from melting snow. Leaf parsley is sown in beds in March, April and then again in August. Seeds of both types of parsley are sown to a depth of 2 cm.

  • Parsley is grown in deeply worked, light soils. The optimal pH is 6.

  • Over-fertilization with nitrogen causes rust susceptibility. Does not tolerate salinity. Never fertilize beds with manure before planting! High nitrogen content causes poor storability. During vegetation, we apply complex NPK fertilizer with lower nitrogen content and avoid using fertilizers containing chlorine. For fertilization, we can use Cererit or Kristalon.

  • Parsley is attacked by psyllids that suck on the plants. Sucked tissue becomes deformed and dries out. Flowers and young fruits gradually fall off. Plants can be protected with Decis Mega.

    If whitish, powdery fungal coatings appear on plants, which gradually turn dirty brownish-grey, they have been attacked by powdery mildew of umbellifers. Treat the crop with Kumulus WG or Ortiva.

    The most serious storage rot of parsley roots is black rot. It is transmitted by seed and mainly by post-harvest residues. It spreads during wet weather and by watering on root crowns. Protection consists primarily in sowing quality seed treated with fungicide.

    Aphids or spider mites are eliminated using Pirimor or Decis.

    Roots are occasionally attacked by nematodes. A safe protection is to plant African marigolds (Tagetes) in the vicinity.

    Rust may also appear on plants. Treat them with a suitable fungicide.

  • Leaf parsley is harvested as needed. Root parsley is harvested when it reaches the desired size. The main harvest time is October.
