The growing cycle of garlic grown in the spring is relatively short, suitable for some pre-maturized varieties and capable of harvesting in the summer. Cultivated generally between mid-march and early april, the temperature is warming and the soil temperature is stabilized at 3°c-6°c, which facilitates the growth of garlic seedlings and seedlings. Let's see how and when we grow garlic in spring。
I. The method of planting garlic in the spring
1. Selective fertilization
Garlic prefers lax, fertile, organically rich, ventilated and easily drained soils. Before planting, the land is subject to deep tillage and to the application of decomposition farm or compound fertilizer as base fertilizer. More than 3,000-5,000 kg of decomposition organic and 50 kg of compound fertilizer per acre can be applied。
2. Selection
A full, insect-free and insect-free garlic is chosen as a seed. The garlic is not too big or too small. In the case of varieties, early or medium-maturized varieties that are suitable for local climatic and soil conditions may be selected, such as the canton garlic, the city garlic and the tianjin six-pole。
Seeding
Open ditches 15-20 cm by line, deep 5-8 cm. Placing garlic in a ditch with a tipping point, at a depth of about 3-5 centimetres and with a soil of 2-3 centimetres. Seeding is followed by water and soil is kept wet。
4. Covered membranes
Covering the membrane can increase soil temperature, speed seedlings and promote garlic seedlings. Post-dubrand care needs to be taken for artificially assisted seedlings to prevent their covering。
5. Fertilizer management
During the gestation of garlic, the soil is kept humid, but water is avoided to prevent rotting roots. In the long term, water can be poured in accordance with the “dry and wet” principle. During the pumping period, water should be properly controlled to facilitate the expansion of the tubers. Before harvesting, stop watering to dry garlic. During the seedlings of garlic, fattenings such as urea can be applied. During expansion, the application of potassium phosphorus fertilizer, such as potassium sulphate, is increased. At a later stage, folates such as potassium phosphate can be sprayed to prevent premature decay。
Ii. Time to grow garlic in spring
The best time for planting garlic in the spring is usually between march and april, when the temperature warms up gradually and the soil temperature stabilizes between 3°c and 6°c, facilitating the growth of garlic seedlings and seedlings, but depending on geographical location and climatic conditions。
Owing to the warm climate in the south, garlic can generally start growing between february and march. Owing to the colder climate in the north, cultivation needs to wait between march and april until the climate stabilizes. In the north, chongqing is a more appropriate planting period。
These are the introductions to the methods and times of planting garlic in the spring, and the selection of pre-established varieties suitable for planting in the spring, such as violet garlic, permanent garlic, etc. These varieties are cold-resistant and short-lived and suitable for planting in the spring。
