Matters needing attention during garlic bolting period

The bolting period of garlic is the key period to increase the yield of garlic, when the growth of garlic has been completed, the next step is the growth period of garlic bolts and bulbs, and the management of this period is very important. But we should also pay attention to some problems, so as not to lead to premature senescence, let's take a look at the introduction of garlic bolting notes.

1. Water and fertilizer management

After entering the bolting stage, the vegetative body of garlic grows rapidly, all the leaves grow out, the leaf surface reaches the maximum, the garlic bolting begins to come out, and the bulb begins to develop. The phenomenon of dry tip of yellow leaves is very easy to appear in this period, so we should pay attention to fertilizer and water management and promote plant growth with great water and fertilizer, so that the growth of its pseudostem is as thick as the top and bottom. If there is a lack of water and fertilizer in this period, or if the supply of fertilizer and water is not timely, it will hinder the normal growth of the plant, resulting in inconsistent growth between the pseudo-stem and the bulb, and it is difficult to extract and break easily during harvest.

2. Stop the water before harvest

Stop watering about a week before harvesting garlic bolts, and at the same time hoe the soil shallowly, so that the plants lack moisture and appear wilting phenomenon, so as to avoid loosening of stems and nodes to facilitate vegetable bolting. Sowing garlic in autumn is 7-10 days earlier than that in spring, which can greatly increase the yield and income.

3. Foliar fertilizer spraying

In the management of garlic, foliar fertilizer should be strengthened to prevent plant leaves from yellowing and dry tip, resulting in premature senescence and reduced yield. Amino acid foliar fertilizer can be sprayed. Spraying borax solution and urea solution at the same time can not only supplement plant trace elements, but also improve plant disease resistance, yield and quality.

4. Pest control

Garlic entered the bolting stage, with the increase of temperature, its diseases and insect pests also reached a high period, the main diseases are purple spot, leaf blight, blight and so on. The main pests are thrips, garlic maggots and so on. The disease can be controlled by disinfectant alum, mancozeb, Antaisheng, etc., while insect pests can be controlled by spraying Lesbon EC or filling root with Lesbon EC.
