Abstract: Blue lupine 200 kg · ha-1, and hairy vetch (80 kg · ha-1)-rye (120 kg · ha-1) mixture seeded at the beginning of August and cut and ploughed in the middle of November did not affect the yield of celeriac ‘Mentor’. The yield of celeriac plants with leaves and roots as well total and marketable yield of roots ‘Albin’ harvested on plots fertilized with a vetch-rye mixture was significantly higher than on plots fertilized with lupine and control plots. Green manures did not affect the content of nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium in celeriac leaves. The effect of green manure on potassium content was dependent on cultivar and interaction between green manure and the cultivar. Roots developed by plants of both cultivars fertilized with green manures contained more dry matter than control ones. The content of crude fiber, L-ascorbic acid, monosaccharides and total sugars was independent on the cultivar and green manure fertilization. In July the growth of plants of both cultivars grown on plots fertilized with a vetch-rye mixture was more rapid than on other plots; however, at the end of the vegetation period the leaves of plants ‘Albin’ fertilized with a vetch-rye mixture were the shortest and the leaves of control plants ‘Mentor’ were the longest.
