The influence of N, P, K supply on the contents of dry mass, chlorophyll (a+b), vitamin C, saccharides and the activities of peroxidase (E.C. 1.11.1.7), catalase (E.C. 1.11.1.6), and acid phosphatase (E.C.3.1.3.2) in leaves of celery plants during their growth stages was investigated. A correlation between the amount of N, P, K and the chemical composition and catalytic activities of enzymes was found.
