How to grow garlic in the latest winter

With the gradual decline in temperature, now autumn garlic has also entered the pre-winter management, when the management is not timely, medical treatment led to a decline in garlic production, so must not be taken lightly. Let's learn about the cultivation and management of garlic in winter.

1. Prepare before overwintering

Garlic sown in autumn has a poor growth period and returns to green after winter, so farmers should do a good job in management before winter to lay the foundation for high yield. In order to ensure that the garlic is in close contact with the soil and promote the germination of new roots, it is necessary to sprout before emergence, especially when the ground is covered. In the cloudy and rainy weather, when the soil moisture is large, drainage should be made in time to avoid garlic seed rot and affect the normal growth of garlic. There is no plastic film cover, to cover a layer of weeds or feces before overwintering, to ensure that garlic seedlings are safe through the winter, plastic film to ensure that the film is intact to prevent the wind.

2. Rupture of membrane in time

Garlic begins to sprout about a week after sowing. In order to help it break the membrane smoothly, artificial light should be carried out when the garlic seedling breaks the membrane, so as to avoid the garlic seedling breaking for too long, causing damage to the stem of the garlic seedling and affecting the growth of the garlic seedling. When the garlic film is broken, a small hole can be made in each seedling hole to ensure the success of the garlic film rupture. The film can not be damaged when the film is broken, otherwise the film will lose its effect, and then it will be checked regularly every day to prevent the film from breaking, resulting in the death of seedlings.

3. Clear the ditch and loosen the soil

The humidity in the field of garlic planting should not be too high, too much water should lead to root rot, cause the harm of diseases and insect pests, and reduce the yield, so when garlic overwintering, the ditch should be cleared in time, loose soil, full of water loss, affecting the growth of garlic. Improve soil structure, increase soil temperature and promote root growth.

4. Fertilizer and water management

If the bottom fertilizer is insufficient, one month after budding, it is necessary to apply seedling fertilizer once to promote the growth and development of seedlings. If the base fertilizer is sufficient, there is no need for topdressing. Before the soil is frozen, it should be watered once and frozen water to make it safe to survive the winter. Watering before overwintering should be appropriate, garlic lack of water will lead to withered and yellow pointed leaves, in serious cases will die, watering should take small water drip irrigation, so as not to cause stagnant water retting roots.
