Strictly guard against loose garlic cloves

In the later stage of garlic expansion, if Rain Water is too much and the soil moisture is too high, it will affect the formation of garlic skin. If the harvest is too late, even the garlic skin will rot due to soaking, the garlic skin will be loose, the leaf sheath will rot at the base of the leaf sheath, and the detached layer will fall off between the garlic clove and the shortening stem, resulting in loose petals. Garlic will also break down during storage because of too much humidity. The main measures to prevent the occurrence of loose valves are introduced as follows.

1. Reduce soil moisture. Drainage should be done well in the later stage of bulb expansion. Timely drainage of rainfall, do not pour water unless drought, to avoid excessive soil moisture.

two。 Harvest in time. The suitable harvest time for garlic stalk is 18-20 days after harvest. Early harvest, not only garlic thin, white, and not easy to break up; late harvest, in case of rainy days, easy to break up. The standard of suitable harvest time is that when most of the plant leaves are dry, the upper leaves fade to the leaf tip dry and droop, the plant is in a soft state, and when the plant is pressed to one side at the base, it is a sign of maturity when it is not brittle and tough, so it should be harvested in time.

3. Dry in time after harvest, cover the garlic with garlic leaves, with emphasis on garlic stalks and leaves, in order to reduce the water content in the body, make the base of the leaf sheath and protective scales gradually lose water and become dry. Rainproof and moistureproof during storage. At the beginning of storage, cutting off the fibrous roots of garlic can delay the release of cloves.
