Causes and control measures of garlic jumping

There is often a phenomenon of jumping garlic in garlic planting, which means that after sowing and taking root, with the growth of the root system, the garlic cloves will be pushed closer to the soil or directly out of the ground. This phenomenon not only seriously affects the growth of garlic, but also affects the yield and quality of garlic. So what is the cause? How to prevent and cure it? Let's take a look at the pro-farm network.

1. The cause

The roots of garlic begin to grow during the germination period, and then grow downward into the depths of the soil, if the soil preparation of the planting plot is poor, the cultivated land is shallow, or the soil is too thin during sowing, there is no harvest, and the watering is insufficient. As a result, the lower part of the soil is harder and the upper part is loose, and the root system will push the garlic cloves out of the soil, which is also called jumping garlic. In recent years, with the development of mechanized planting, mechanical sowing is used in many areas, but although mechanized planting is convenient and dexterous and suitable for narrow areas, it generally does not exceed 10cm when ploughing, which is far below the needs of garlic root growth, so it can easily lead to the occurrence of jumping garlic. In addition, it is easy to cause the phenomenon of jumping garlic because of late sowing, high ground temperature and fast germination and rooting.

2. Countermeasures

After discovering the phenomenon of jumping garlic, we should take timely measures, the first thing to do is to water, and then replant the garlic cloves exposed on the ground, and if the garlic cloves have a certain distance from the ground, we can take the method of soil cultivation to increase the distance between the garlic cloves and the ground. Then immediately began to loosen the soil, send the soil under the garlic cloves properly, step on the soil on both sides of the garlic seedlings, be careful not to hurt the garlic seedlings, and water them in time when the soil is slightly dry, so as not to dry up the garlic cloves.

3. Preventive measures

When selecting land, it is necessary to select plots that are not stubble, sunny, loose and fertile, turn them deeply before planting, create loose and tight soil conditions, and rake the soil fine when preparing the soil. It is necessary to step on the soil in time after sowing, and the soil cover should not be too shallow and too deep, too shallow can easily lead to the phenomenon of jumping garlic, and too deep can easily make it difficult for garlic seedlings to emerge. If the soil is too acidic to be reconciled with quicklime or plant ash in time, removing the heel and skin of garlic cloves during sowing can make it germinate quickly, but if it is planted in saline-alkali soil, it is not necessary to remove the heel and garlic skin, so as not to corrode the garlic cloves and cause rotten seeds. Strengthen fertilizer and water management to promote rapid root growth, drainage and waterlogging prevention should be done in rainy season to avoid rotting roots.

The above are the reasons and control measures of garlic jumping brought by pro-agricultural network. I hope it can help you. If you want to know more about garlic planting technology, please pay attention to pro-agricultural network.
