Excellent varieties of garlic

1. Cangshan Pugu garlic: the main variety in Cangshan garlic producing area, with a growth period of about 240d, is a mid-late mature variety with strong adaptability, cold tolerance, strong growth potential and good quality. it produces about 1500 kg of garlic and 400kg of garlic bolts per mu.

2. Cangshan brown garlic: Cangshan brown garlic is a variety of Cangshan garlic, which is an early-maturing variety with a growth period of 230 to 235 days. Its cold resistance is worse than that of Pugu garlic and its growth is exuberant. The yield of garlic head and bolts is equal to that of Pugu garlic.

3. Cangshan high-footed garlic: this variety is also a variety of Cangshan garlic, which is a late-maturing variety with a growth period of more than 240 days, strong growth potential and cold tolerance. The yield of garlic is higher than that of Cangshan Pugu garlic and Cangshan brown garlic.

4. Jiaxiang garlic: Jiaxiang County local variety, the plant growth potential is strong, the tillering ability is weak, the growth period is about 260d, generally yield 250kg garlic bolts per mu and 1500 kg garlic per mu.

5. Soviet garlic: Soviet garlic was introduced from the former Soviet Union in the 1950s and is now widely cultivated in various places. The plant has strong growth potential, medium tillering, a growth period of about 230 days, strong disease resistance, high yield and a yield of 1500-2000 kg per mu, but of average quality. It is suitable for cultivating green garlic seedlings.

The planting method of garlic

1. Land selection and preparation: it is better to plant garlic with rich, soft and well-drained sandy soil to avoid continuous stubble as far as possible. Generally deep ploughing in 15-20 cm, combined with deep ploughing mu application of barnyard manure 1000-1500 kg, build about 2 meters of border, dig a good drainage ditch.

2. Sowing time: the sowing time varies with the use of garlic. It is appropriate to sow garlic from early September to early October, no later than mid-October, and the best sowing time for green garlic is mid-late August.

3. Sowing method: garlic should be planted in holes with 3 petals per hole, the distance between each hole was 17 × 20 cm, and the depth was kept at 0.02 × 0.3 m. After sowing, the garlic was covered with a layer of plant ash or poured with a layer of sediment, and the sowing amount per mu was 120kg to 140kg.

4. Fertilization management

① base fertilizer: ammonium bicarbonate 20kg / mu, calcium superphosphate 8kg / mu, potassium chloride 4kg / mu or compound fertilizer 15kg / mu.

② seedling fertilizer: at the beginning of the third leaf after the whole seedling, 15002000 kg of animal manure and urine was applied per mu, and 5 kg urea was added.

③ wax fertilizer: wax fertilizer is a fertilizer applied from this winter to the next spring, with ammonium bicarbonate 10 kg per mu and human and animal manure 1000 kg to 1200 kg per mu.

④ bolting fertilizer: 15kg urea per mu during garlic bolting period.

⑤ foliar fertilizer spraying: during the period of rapid expansion of garlic, 0.2-0.3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution is sprayed per mu, preferably before and after Grain Rain.

5. Field management: garlic seedlings should be moved and fixed with bamboo slices after seedling completion. Fertilization should be carried out in time to loosen the soil and weed after setting the seedlings. Greater Cold should loosen the soil once before and after, dredge the drainage ditch in time in late February of the next spring, and timely ditch irrigation to resist drought in case of drought.

6. prevention and control of diseases and insect pests: the main diseases and insect pests of garlic are blight and coffee bean weevil. 25% carbendazim is sprayed with 100 grams of water and 50 kilograms of water per mu, and coffee bean elephants can be fumigated with aluminum phosphide of 3 to 5 grams per cubic meter.
