The latest seed-keeping skills of garlic

Garlic is a common condiment in our daily life, it is asexual reproduction, garlic cloves are abnormal lateral buds, and long-term asexual reproduction makes the virus accumulate in the body, resulting in species degradation. So how to overcome the problem of keeping garlic seeds? Let's get to know it with the editor.

1. Set up farming fields in different places.

The establishment of garlic farming with certain regional differences and cultivation differences can avoid the degradation of garlic, improve the species character of garlic, and have a certain advantage of off-site growth. For example, low exchange between mountain areas and plains, exchange between dry areas and rice fields, low exchange between vegetable gardens and grain, and exchange in different places in different directions within a certain range, such as the south and the north, can improve the yield and species of garlic to varying degrees.

2. Choose garlic without disease and insect pests as seed

When the garlic is harvested in the seed field, the plants with the morphological characteristics of the variety should be selected as the standard, which requires that the leaves are free of disease spots, the garlic head is hypertrophic, the color is the same, the number of cloves is moderate, and there are no diseases and insect pests. After selecting a good variety of garlic, tie it into small bundles and collect it. What should be noticed here is that the garlic should be dried and stored in a cool and ventilated environment, otherwise the high temperature and humidity environment will reduce the vitality of garlic scale buds, and may even cause rotten seeds.

3. Use aerial bulb as seed

In order to pass the species and vitality of garlic, the aerial bulb of garlic can be used as seed. The method is that after bolting, the garlic bolting is not harvested, and the harvest time of garlic is delayed for 15-20 days. When the garlic stalk turns yellow, the aerial bulb is harvested. Choose a diameter greater than 0.4 cm for storage in summer. In autumn, ditches are opened for sowing or sowing on the border, generally controlled at about 12-150000 plants per mu, then covered with soil of about 2 cm, and watered after suppression. After that, the management is the same as sowing garlic cloves, and the aerial bulbs usually grow one-headed garlic in the first year. Although this method can improve the seed character and prevent the degeneration of garlic, it is not suitable for some varieties, such as non-bolting garlic or thin bolting, garlic without bulbs can not be propagated by this method.

4. Garlic with secondary growth can not leave seed.

Because the cultivation and climate conditions make the field of garlic secondary garlic seed can not leave seed, garlic secondary seed retention is a phenomenon of species degradation, which seriously affects the yield and quality of garlic. if you choose to retain seed for one season, it will cause secondary growth and serious yield reduction, so you can't keep seed.
