Key points for the management of the latest bolting period of garlic

When garlic bolting, the vegetative growth is rapid, the leaves all grow, the garlic bolts begin to grow, and the low bulbs begin to develop slowly, which is also the key to the yield increase of garlic, and the management at this time is very important. So how to manage the bolting of garlic? let's take a look at the key points of the management of the bolting period of garlic.

1. Rational watering

When garlic enters bolting, flower buds and bulbs begin to differentiate rapidly, when the leaves reach the maximum value, and the root system expands to the maximum range, which is the largest water demand of garlic. In order to avoid the occurrence but affect the plant growth, so that the garlic stalk has uneven growth, it should be irrigated in time. Generally speaking, the seedlings should be watered continuously after the present tail, once every 5-7 days, so as to achieve the purpose of promoting seedlings until they stop watering 2-3 days before bolting.

2. Re-application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer

After entering the bolting stage, the root system began to stretch, the old root aging, a large number of new roots occurred, at the same time, the stems, leaves and garlic bolts began to elongate, and the garlic bolts began to expand slowly. At this time, in order to speed up the expansion of garlic and increase the yield, it is necessary to re-apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which can promote the extension of garlic stalk and the expansion of garlic cloves. It is suggested that the application of efficient soluble phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can improve the yield and quality.

3. Weeding

In garlic bolting, it is the warming of temperature, when the temperature is conducive to the growth of weeds, too many weeds will compete with garlic for nutrients, water and light, resulting in garlic due to lack of nutrients and affect the yield and quality. Therefore, in the bolting period to do a good job of weeding, it is recommended to pull the grass manually, or use a small hoe to hoe weeds between rows, which can not only weed, but also increase soil permeability, which is beneficial to root growth. It is important to pay attention not to use herbicides to control weeds, lest the agents will spread on the stems and leaves, causing them to dry up and die.

4. Pest control

In the bolting stage of garlic, the occurrence of diseases and insect pests is more serious, in which the disease is mainly leaf spot, the disease appears round spots in the leaves, which leads to leaf death, base rot and plant lodging. During the onset of the disease, it can be sprayed with ethyl aluminum manganese zinc + octylamine mixed with water for prevention and treatment. The pests include root maggots, thrips and aphids, which mainly feed on the bulbs of garlic, causing the bulbs to rot and harming the roots, which can be controlled by spraying or burrowing with insecticides.

The above is the introduction of the key points of garlic bolting management. I hope it can help you. If you want to know more about it, please follow us.
