What is this celery disease?
Celery None Given
Hello everyone, I have this problem in a field of celery (for seed) - I doubt that it is bacterial, but during research I have not found a lot of information similar to my plants. The pictures show celery after removal of older leaves, for decreased vigor. I would appreciate advice, thank you very much!

The blackened, collapsing tips are consistent with blackheart, which is a localized calcium deficiency. The core rot looks bacterial, but it is difficult to say for sure. Sometimes the bacterial rots are able to take hold in the core as a result of mechanical injury, weather injury, or yes, following blackheart damage.
