Second, what is the reason for the formation of garlic?

The main results are as follows: 1. If the garlic with small head and thin cloves is selected, the seedling growth is weak and the ability of absorbing fertilizer is poor after sowing, which seriously affects the separation of scales, and it is easy to form single garlic.

2. The barren soil or the land where garlic has been planted in continuous stubble is affected by the lack of soil quality and fertilizer, so that the seedlings are weak and the scale disk development is poor.

3. Farmers always want to plant garlic densely, save some land, or think that increasing density can produce high yield, but the density greatly destroys the area that should be occupied by individuals, and there is a phenomenon that garlic plants compete for nutrients per unit area. resulting in the lack of fertilizer and space constraints and the formation of single garlic.

4. Garlic cloves are formed by the development of lateral buds in the axils of the upper leaves of the scale disc, and are affected by temperature, light and nutrients, so the early or late sowing date will affect the growth and development of garlic. If it is better to plant not more than nine years ago in spring, the rate of garlic will be high if it is too late.

5. Garlic has strong adaptability, but it is very sensitive to environmental conditions, nutrients and water in the process of growth. in the process of management, the scale disk is not easy to sprout or the individual can not form a single head due to poor growth caused by fertilizer, water, diseases, pests and grass.
