What is one-headed garlic? How did you grow it?

Garlic is a good seasoning in our daily life, and there are many kinds of flavor substances. For many people who love garlic, one-headed garlic can be called a favorite, so what is single-headed garlic? How did you grow it?

First, what is one-headed garlic?

1. Reasons for the formation of single-headed garlic.

As the name implies, single-headed garlic is an undivided garlic. Now there is a theory that single-headed garlic is degenerated from garlic, with a maximum of 8 cloves, assuming that it begins to degenerate from 8 cloves, first to 7 cloves, then from 7 cloves to 6 cloves, 5 cloves, 4 cloves. Under the gradual degradation, it decreases to 1 clove, which is called single-headed garlic.

Growers think that common garlic will be caused by small individual, poor soil, lack of certain elements in soil, lag of planting period, high planting density and so on.

2. The planting status of single-headed garlic.

Generally speaking, when growing garlic, the annual rate of one-headed garlic is 5-10%, sometimes in a large number in a piece of land, sometimes in a large number in the whole field, and sometimes in a large number of regional areas, resulting in not only a reduction in production. sometimes it also destroys production and poses a threat to the development of production, so most garlic farmers are not happy to see single-headed garlic.

Although people have always wanted to eliminate the emergence of single-headed garlic, because single-headed garlic is very mysterious and is favored by eaters and used in medicine, some growers have begun to try to grow single-headed garlic in recent years, but relatively speaking, the output of single-headed garlic is relatively low. the economic benefit is mediocre.

Second, how is the garlic grown?

At present, the cultivation of single-headed garlic is based on the reasons for the formation of single-headed garlic to regulate and control the factors, thus producing single-headed garlic.

1. Select early-maturing garlic varieties

Practice has proved that the incidence of garlic in early-maturing varieties and very early-maturing varieties is higher than that in late-maturing varieties.

2. Postpone the sowing time of garlic

As the saying goes, "if you plant garlic, you can grow nine." therefore, if you want to plant single garlic, it is recommended that you sow it in September (the sowing date is about 20-30 days later than normal garlic,). You can sow it in flat beds or in narrow ditches in the first and middle of September.

3. Increase the sowing density

The sowing density can be increased to 80, 000-100000, or even 120000-150000, which is beneficial to the production of garlic. In addition, it is best to use aerial bulbs to sow seeds.

In addition, you can also deliberately choose to grow garlic in places where the soil is relatively poor, and reduce fertilization, which can increase the probability of single-headed garlic. However, I would like to remind you that if you just want to eat garlic, you can plant some properly, but you should think twice before planting garlic on a large scale. You must first have a detailed understanding of the supply and demand of the local market and then consider comprehensively.
