The latest autumn sowing garlic cultivation

Garlic is a kind of side dish that many people like to eat very much, and many people will choose to grow some garlic for their own use in their own homes. If it is planted on a large scale, make sure that the garlic plant can grow 5 leaves before overwintering. Garlic plants in this period are very resistant to cold and can survive the winter normally. So the editor brings you the cultivation techniques of autumn sowing garlic today. Let's take a look at it.

1. Seed treatment

First of all, we need to select virus-free varieties with strong disease resistance, and it is appropriate to use garlic cloves without diseases and insect pests and no wounds. Wash the seed valve before sowing, and then use Donin wettable powder and mix the seeds. Or you can also use Tianda chlorpromazine to mix seeds for about 20 minutes and do a good job of disinfection. The sowing method of garlic is generally ditch sowing, first of all, it is necessary to open a good shallow ditch. Then sow the seed valve into the soil, cover the soil after sowing, gently compact, and then water properly to avoid soil drought, control the sowing depth and ensure the healthy growth of garlic.

2. Sowing seeds at the right time

When we plant garlic, we should adjust the sowing reasonably according to the planting area to ensure that the garlic can grow 5 true leaves before overwintering. If it is planted southward in the Yangtze River basin, the autumn sowing time of garlic is usually around September. The weather in September is cool, which can increase the emergence rate of garlic. Do not sow too early too late, too early, the seedling growth ability is strong, easy to consume too much nutrition, affect the garlic overwintering, and easy to form compound garlic in the second year, the quality will also be affected. If sowing too late, the accumulation of nutrients is too little, the cold resistance is poor, and it is easy to die in winter.

3. Reasonable close planting

Garlic can be properly closely planted, and reasonable close planting is the key to increase the yield of garlic. We should reasonably adjust the planting density according to the planting varieties, if it is planting early-maturing varieties. Because the plants are relatively short, there are not many leaves and the growth cycle is not long, so we can appropriately expand the planting density, about 50,000 plants per mu, and the plant row spacing should be controlled at 8-15 cm. Compared with the middle and late maturing varieties, about 40,000 plants are planted per mu because of their long growth cycle, large plant type and many leaves.

4. Field management

After sowing, we need to do a good job in field management. In order to promote the growth of garlic and increase the nutrition of the plant, we should fertilize properly. Because the water absorption of garlic root is relatively poor, so topdressing fertilizer is mainly quick-acting fertilizer to avoid undernutrition of garlic growth caused by de-fatting. Topdressing should be applied in important periods such as seedling, two months after sowing, flower stem extension period and expansion period. Then do a good job of water management, not only to ensure to meet the water needs of garlic, but also to avoid too much water, affecting the growth of garlic.

The above is a brief introduction to the cultivation of autumn sowing garlic. The cultivation technique of garlic is relatively simple, but we should pay attention to do a good job of management to ensure the yield. That's all for today's introduction.
