What is the reason for the slow emergence of garlic

There are many problems in the process of planting garlic, among which slow emergence is one of the common ones. Slow emergence will seriously affect the growth of garlic in the later stage. So what is the reason for the slow emergence of garlic? Come and have a look with the editor.

1. Sowing too deep

The sowing depth of garlic is generally 3-5 cm, in no special circumstances, it can be properly deepened, but not too deep, if the sowing is too deep, in the case of good fertilizer and water conditions, the emergence time may be a few days slower than the normal sowing depth, but if the fertilizer and water conditions are not good, it is very likely that seedlings will not emerge. Therefore, when sowing garlic, we must pay attention to the sowing depth, must not be too deep, so as not to affect seedling emergence and late growth.

2. Soil consolidation

After sowing garlic, whether it is self-watering or in case of rain, there is no problem with moderate rainfall, but once there is too much water, then when the weather clears up, the field is very likely to harden. However, when the soil is solidified, the work of paddling and hoeing is not carried out in time, which will affect the emergence speed of garlic seedlings, that is, slow emergence, and heavy ones will lead to no emergence. Therefore, after sowing, we should pay attention to the weather changes, whether it is rainfall or watering, we should properly paddle and hoe to avoid soil consolidation.

3. Plastic film

After sowing garlic, most of them are covered with plastic film, but some garlic, whose vitality is not very strong, cannot eject the plastic film on its own after plastic film covering. at a rough glance, it seems that it has not emerged, but it has already emerged. At this time, you need to break the membrane manually and let the garlic emerge in time. In addition, when the light is strong, if the membrane is not broken in time, it will also cause burns to the garlic seedlings.
