Matters needing attention for fertilization of garlic in winter

Garlic is a very popular vegetable with high nutritional value, so it is welcomed by many people. Garlic is generally grown in winter, and when growing garlic, fertilization studio is very important. There are also many areas that need our attention, so what are the specific points for attention? Today, the editor brings you some points for attention on fertilizing garlic in winter. Let's take a look at it.

1. Types of fertilizer application

When fertilizing garlic in winter, the first thing we should pay attention to is the type of fertilizer. The winter manure of garlic is generally based on compost and organic fertilizer. These farm manure can not only meet the fertilizer demand of garlic, but also have the advantages of long-term fertilizer efficiency and improving soil structure. However, when applying fertilizer, we should pay attention to ensure that the farm manure is fully mature, so as to avoid the impact on the growth of garlic. So that garlic can not grow normally and reduce the benefit, if there is no suitable farm manure, then you can use compound fertilizer, but the effect is naturally not as good as farm manure.

2. Fertilization method

When applying garlic winter fertilizer, we should also pay attention to the fertilization method. The winter fertilizer application of garlic is generally based on strip application and water application. When using farm manure, we can dig the fertilization ditch into strips along the line. If chemical fertilizer is needed, the method of digging ditches and holes should be used. And after fertilizing, we should pay attention to cover a layer of soil and water properly. Then we should also pay attention to do a good job of weeding in ploughing, improve soil permeability and maintain a permeable and moist soil environment. Strengthen the absorption and utilization of nutrients in garlic roots to improve the seedling rate and economic benefits of garlic.

3. Amount of fertilizer applied

When applying fertilizer, the amount of fertilizer also needs our attention. The amount of fertilizer should not be too much. If there is too much fertilizer, it will cause the fertilizer to produce too much heat, and the phenomenon of burning seedlings will occur, resulting in a decline in garlic production. However, the amount of fertilizer should not be too small, if the fertilizer is too little, it will affect the nutrient absorption of garlic seedlings, resulting in poor seedling quality and can not survive the winter normally. So when we apply fertilizer, it depends on the soil fertility. If the soil fertility is average, then we can apply about 2000kg farm manure per mu, and if it is chemical fertilizer, we can keep it at about 15kg.

Usually, if the quick-acting fertilizer is applied before winter, the amount of quick-acting fertilizer is about 1 to 4 of the total fertilizer. However, if it is prone to cross-growth of garlic varieties, then the use should be reduced or not used. When garlic enters the overwintering period, fertilizers suitable for winter environment should be applied. Because the main purpose of winter fertilization is to thicken the protective layer of garlic root system. Improving the cold resistance of garlic is very beneficial to the growth of garlic and can improve the yield and quality of garlic.

The above is a brief introduction to the matters needing attention in fertilizing garlic in winter. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
