Management measures of Water and Fertilizer for garlic in Spring

Garlic plays a very important role in our daily life. Eating garlic properly is conducive to cold resistance and anti-freezing, and enhance the immune ability of the human body. Now it is an important season for garlic planting after entering spring, so management is also very important. So how to manage garlic in spring? The following editor brings you the management measures of garlic in spring, let's have a look!

1. Management of rejuvenation period

The management of the rejuvenation period is very important for the growth of garlic. During the rejuvenation period, we should do a good job in water and fertilizer work, and water it together with topdressing. Fertilizers are mainly compound fertilizers such as diammonium phosphate. Then it should be ploughed in time to improve the heat preservation and moisture retention capacity of the soil, avoid the loss of water and fertilizer, and affect the growth of garlic. In early April, if the garlic appears yellow tip, then it is necessary to fertilize again and increase the watering frequency. It usually needs to be watered about twice a month to meet the nutrient and water needs of garlic growth.

2. The growing period of garlic bolts

About the time of May every year, it will enter the growth period of garlic bolts. After entering the summer, the temperature gradually increases, the growth rate of garlic bolts will also accelerate. During this period, the demand for water and fertilizer will increase greatly, so we should also pay attention to the management of fertilizer and water. When the garlic stalk is not yet sticking out, you should fertilize it again. The fertilizer is mainly compound fertilizer, which is properly watered after stretching out to maintain sufficient moisture to promote the growth of garlic bolts.

3. Management of expansion period

After garlic enters the expansion period, the demand for nutrient water is also relatively large. Especially water, so the most important thing during this period is to do a good job of watering to prevent soil drought and water shortage, leading to premature senescence of garlic. However, stop watering the garlic a week before harvest to prevent excessive moisture, causing garlic cloves to rot, affecting quality and reducing yield.

4. Water management

In spring, the temperature gradually warms up, and the seedlings of garlic begin to grow. We should adjust the amount of water reasonably according to the water content of the soil and the amount of rainfall. If the soil moisture is better, you can start watering in March. Should not be watered too early, but also pay attention to watering frequency and amount of water. Prevent excessive moisture from causing the temperature to drop, affecting the growth of garlic. The demand for water will rise after Ching Ming Festival starts, and proper watering is needed at this time.

5. Rational fertilization

Garlic has a great demand for fertilizer. Even if we have enough base fertilizer, we still have to do a good job of topdressing. Topdressing fertilizer is mainly nitrogen and potassium fertilizer. When applying fertilizer, we should pay attention to adjust the dosage according to the growing period of garlic. For example, expansion period, extension period and leaf formation period and so on. The demand for fertilizer and nutrition are different. Therefore, we must pay more attention to do not apply fertilizer blindly to avoid fertilizer damage.

The above is a brief introduction to the water and fertilizer management measures of garlic in spring. The fertilizer and water management of garlic is very important, especially in spring. We must pay more attention to it. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
