Moisture requirements for the growth of garlic

The garlic leaves are banded, the leaf area is small, the surface is waxy, the root system is small, the soil is shallow, the distribution range is narrow, the root hair is very few, and the ability of absorbing water is weak, so the garlic root is strict to water, sensitive to reaction, and the leaf is drought-tolerant. According to the morphological characteristics of garlic, the requirement of garlic for water is that sufficient water supply is required from sowing to seedling emergence, but the soil should not be too wet. If the soil tillage quality is poor, the soil moisture is not good, and the exposed soil is too shallow, the phenomenon of jumping garlic will appear, but if the soil is watered too much and the soil moisture is high, it is easy to cause rotten mother phenomenon, so from sowing to seedling emergence, the soil should be moist and not flooded. After emergence, the leaves grow rapidly and need more water, and sufficient water supply should be ensured during the bolting period. Water should be controlled before bolting, and bolting is not easy to break when the plant is slightly wilted, and immediately watering after bolting. To ensure that nutrients are transported to the storage organs, when the growth of garlic reaches the maximum, it is necessary to control soil moisture and promote the ripening of garlic to improve the quality and storability of garlic.
