In two-year field investigations (2008 and 2009) the effect of used preparations on heath status of roots and seedling shoots of celery cvs Edward Mentor and Talar was studied. During experiments Biochikol 020 PC (chitosan 20 g/l), Biosept 33 SL (grapefruit extract 33%), Polyversum WP (106 oospores Pythium oligandrum/1 g) and standard fungicide Gwarant 500 SC (chlorothalonil 500 g/l) and Topsin M 500 SC (tiophanate metyl 500 g/dm3) were used for rootdressing. Fungicides Gwarant 500 SC and Topsin M 500 SC, significantly improved the health status of seedling shoots and seed-yield. The efficacy of preparations Biosept 33 SL and Biochikol 020 PC was lower than standard fungicide, but statistically significantly improved health status and yield compared to control. The application of biopreparation Polyversum WP did not influence significantly to the health of seedling shoots of all tested varieties, and did not increase the yield of seeds.
