The time to grow garlic is almost up. Remember these management measures. The output is high and the garlic is big.

Garlic is more common in our life, it can not only be seasoned, but also can be used as medicine, disease prevention and fitness, so it is called "natural antibiotics".

Garlic is a kind of crop that likes fertilizer and absorbs fertilizer, so we should re-apply organic fertilizer, supplemented by chemical fertilizer, and fully supplement the nutrients needed by garlic at different growth stages to improve our yield and quality. to achieve the goal of increasing income.

Soil preparation and fertilization

Garlic likes fertilizer, and the root system is relatively shallow, so the soil in the plough layer must be cultivated carefully in order to be conducive to the growth of garlic. For the previous crops should also be cleared out of the field, there can not be more bumps.

The growth of garlic takes organic fertilizer and topdressing available fertilizer as the main source of nutrients, generally applying about 3000 kg of organic fertilizer per mu and 30 kg of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer per mu. It should be noted that organic fertilizer should be applied after maturity to avoid heat generated by fermentation of raw manure to burn garlic roots. unmature organic fertilizer will also breed a lot of underground pests.

In order to facilitate management, it is recommended to make border planting in the field, the width of the border is about 2 meters, the length can be based on the topography and the length that is convenient to manage, and make a good ditch to facilitate drainage and irrigation.

Sowing time and method

Garlic is generally sown one after another from September to October, and the sowing time can vary according to different regions. Garlic likes the cold environment, in the cold environment can grow high quality stems and leaves. The sowing time of garlic is very important, early sowing can make garlic seedlings grow too vigorously, consume too much nutrients, which is not conducive to safe overwintering and lower quality; sowing too late, garlic seedlings grow slowly, tissue development is not perfect, cold tolerance decreases, and dead seedlings may occur in winter.

Therefore, the sowing time should be controlled in the best time when garlic seedlings can grow 5-6 leaves before winter, because garlic with 5-6 leaves has the strongest cold tolerance and is the most suitable for safe overwintering.

Before sowing, seed garlic should be dried in the sun for about 3 days, which can sprout early to ensure the effect of uniform seedlings. Reasonable close planting is the method to ensure the high yield of garlic. The row spacing is about 15 cm and the plant spacing is about 5-8 cm. The method of ditching can be used, the depth of sowing is 3-4 cm, and then the soil is covered with 1-2 cm, so as to ensure the close contact between soil and seeds and improve the seedling emergence rate.

Garlic seed, each clove is one, the root rushes down to sow, don't get it wrong (a friend planted the garlic upside down before, but it didn't sprout).

Field management

Fertilizer and water management

Topdressing of garlic is generally based on nitrogen fertilizer, which requires the combination of balanced application of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and trace element fertilizer in order to make garlic grow and develop normally, promote the absorption and utilization of nutrients, and achieve the purpose of increasing production and income.

Garlic topdressing is generally divided into four stages, namely, full seedling fertilizer, return to green fertilizer, bolting fertilizer, expansion fertilizer.

A, Qi seedling fertilizer, when the garlic seedlings, after the application of human feces and urine to lift the seedlings, the concentration of fertilizer should not be too high. Prevent overgrowth and burning seedlings.

B, return to green fertilizer, the temperature rises rapidly after winter, garlic seedlings grow vigorously after turning green, and more nutrients are needed to promote growth. About 10 kg of human feces and urine and 5 kg of potassium sulfate were applied evenly per mu.

C, bolting fertilizer, garlic went into a period of rapid growth and decay after turning green, which was a period of both vegetative growth and reproductive growth. Garlic bolts and underground garlic began to form, grow and expand. During this period, it is necessary to re-apply nitrogen, potash fertilizer, or compound fertilizer about 20 kilograms.

D, expanding fertilizer, when garlic stalk is harvested, soil nutrients are concentrated to supply garlic, and sufficient nutrients can be used to fully expand garlic and improve its quality. Generally, about 10 kilograms of available nitrogen and potash fertilizer should be applied per mu.

Garlic likes to be wet and afraid of drought, usually to ensure sufficient soil moisture in the field, need watering to increase soil moisture, can be carried out together when fertilizing, which is also a measure to ensure high yield and high quality.
