The knack of picking garlic moss

First, the picking of garlic moss must be used in a timely manner. Early picking will result in low yield of garlic moss due to insufficient extraction of moss, and a section of "excess moss" will protrude after harvest. Picking too late will not only affect the fresh and tender quality of garlic moss, but also affect the yield of garlic mound because the leaves are nearly senescent after picking garlic mound. The most suitable picking time is: the garlic moss is pulled out, and the "moss tip" bends nearly a circle.

Second, leave a "wound" to the garlic when picking garlic moss. If picked in bright light on a sunny day, it will shorten the life of leaves and affect the growth of garlic weight because of large transpiration and excessive water loss. Cloudy and sunny days after the sun is the best picking weather, picking in rainy days should pay attention to step on garlic rows as little as possible to prevent land consolidation.

Third, many garlic farmers pinch off the garlic moss together with the garlic leaves when picking garlic moss. The best way is to use a "big needle" to sew clothes or sacks into the place where the garlic moss is to be picked, cut it vertically from the bottom up, then cut off the garlic moss and extract the garlic moss. Leave all the leaves for the garlic weight to grow.

Fourth, apply fertilizer in time after picking. The effect of garlic after picking garlic moss is weak, so it is necessary to replenish nutrition in time. Generally, 20-30 per mu of rotten rare human and animal manure is applied, or 100ml 150 grams of potassium dihydrogen phosphate plus 0.5-1.0 kg urea for foliar topdressing.
