How is garlic grown?

The smaller seed petal of Hongqixing or Ershuizao varieties with a single weight of 1-2g was selected and treated in low-temperature cold storage for 50-60 days. Spread out in a cool and ventilated place to dissipate heat after leaving the warehouse, and then sow seeds. After sowing, after doing a good job in field management such as fertilization, weeding and irrigation, garlic was basically planted.

When growing garlic alone, we should pay attention to:

1. Low temperature treatment of seed petal

When the selected seed petal was treated in 2 ℃-5 ℃ cold storage for 50-60 days, the proportion of garlic after cultivation could reach 50%. The garlic species treated with low temperature had released dormancy and germinated, and the life activity was gradually strengthened.

two。 Sowing date of garlic cultivation

After low temperature treatment, early sowing garlic also has a considerable garlic rate, but due to the high temperature after sowing, the seedlings are easy to senescence and fall ahead of schedule, resulting in smaller garlic size and poor shape (farmers call it "grass-fruit garlic").

3. Pre-broadcast processing

Before sowing, the garlic seeds treated with low temperature were divided, the bottom cover (old stem plate) was removed, and then the seeds were graded according to large, medium and small grades for use.

4. Sowing density and sowing depth

In the on-demand sowing method, according to the plant row spacing of 4 × 5 cm, a clove of garlic was placed on the border surface with a wooden stake, and the root was down. After the point was finished, the border surface was covered with fine soil 1 cm thick, and about 80, 000 seedlings / mu were planted. Shovel sowing with a board hoe shoveled a sowing ditch with a depth of 4-6 cm and a width of 15 cm, and then planted seeds in the ditch according to the row spacing of 4 × 7 cm. Note that the garlic cloves can not be inverted. In addition, the sowing depth should be controlled at 4-6 cm. On the one hand, the unearthed seedlings consume a certain amount of energy, which is helpful to weaken the plant growth and improve the rate of garlic.

Generally speaking, garlic ripens relatively early, so farmers should remember to harvest it in time. After the harvest is completed, the management should be strengthened and the remaining clove garlic should be harvested after it is ripe.
