Garlic growth cycle

To grow garlic, the growth cycle and planting time of garlic should be understood clearly, so how long is the specific growth cycle of garlic? When is the best time to plant? Let's get to know it together.

1. Garlic growth cycle

The growth cycle of spring sowing garlic is generally about 90-100 days, and that of autumn sowing garlic is about 220-280 days, which is related to the sowing date.

The growth cycle of garlic is divided into several different periods:

1. Sprouting period (usually about 10-15 days)

2. Seedling stage (5-6 months for autumn sowing and 25 days for spring sowing)

3. Seed splitting period (about 10 days)

4. Bulb expansion period (about 50-60 days)

5. Physiological dormancy period (about 60 days).

Second, planting time

Garlic is generally planted in spring and autumn, and garlic is mainly sown in autumn. The end of September to the beginning of October every year is a more suitable time to grow garlic. The temperature in spring can be maintained at 3-6 ℃.

III. Matters needing attention in planting

1. Pay attention to watering, because garlic is a crop that needs a lot of water, and it is necessary to keep the soil moist in order to make garlic grow rapidly. generally, it should be watered four times in the whole growth period, after the first sowing, the second seedling stage, the third emergence stage, and four times in the bulb expansion stage.

2. We should also pay attention to fertilization. Garlic has high requirements for soil fertility. If there is no fertilization, it is easy to affect garlic yield.

If you want to plant garlic well, after sowing garlic at the right sowing time, field management is also essential.
