I. Landing and preparation
Garlic is a high demand for soil and generally chooses either deep, organically rich sandy or well drained soil. In the selection of sites, care is taken to avoid intermingling, preferably with grasshopper crops, in order to reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases. Before planting, the land should be cultivated and adequately applied to base fertilizer to provide a good soil environment for garlic growth。
Selection and sowing
The choice of high-quality garlic varieties is key to increasing production. In the selection of seed, a full, insect-free and mechanically undamaged garlic is to be selected. Before seeding, garlic can be left out for some time to increase the growth rate。
The planting time is usually in the autumn, depending on local climatic conditions. Seeding may take the form of a strip or cave. When it is broadcasted, the garlic petals are placed in a ditch at a certain distance, then the earth is covered, and when the caves are broadcast, they are dug up in the land, then they are put into the den, then the garlic is covered. After seeding, water should be poured in time to keep the soil wet for the growth of garlic petals。
Iii. Field management
Water and fertilization
Garlic needs sufficient moisture and nutrients during its growth. In the case of water irrigation, the number and amount of water to be watered should be rationalized according to soil moisture and climatic conditions. In the case of fertilization, it is applied in conjunction with the growth phase of garlic. In the early stages of growth, some nitrogen fertilizers can be applied to promote the growth of leaf blades; in the later stages of growth, some phosphorus potassium fertilizers can be applied to improve the quality and yield of garlic。
2. Weeding and land cultivation
Weeding is an important part of field management. During the growth of garlic, weeds should be removed from the fields in time to reduce nutrient competition and infestation. At the same time, earth-breeding operations are being carried out to cultivate inter-clan soils in the plant base to prevent the greening of garlic exteriors and garlic and to improve the quality of garlic。
Iv. Pest management
As garlic is vulnerable to pests and pests during its growth, pest control is also an important part of the planting process. In the fight against pests and diseases, the principle of prevention as an integrated approach must be upheld。
1. Agriculture
Improve the soil environment and increase the resilience of garlic through rational rotation, deep tillage and fertilization. At the same time, field strains and leaves are removed in a timely manner to reduce the source of disease and insects。
Biological control
Combat using natural enemies, biological pesticides, etc. For example, some natural insects could be introduced to control the number of pests; some biological pesticides could also be used to combat pests and to reduce the use of chemical pesticides。
Chemical control
Chemical pesticides can be used to combat diseases and pests. However, care should be taken to select highly efficient, low-toxic, low-residual pesticide varieties and to apply them strictly in accordance with instructions of use to avoid environmental and human hazards。
V. Harvest and storage
When the garlic leaf is yellow and the mantle is soft, the harvest can take place. At harvest, the garlic is to be excavated and cut off the mantle and the stub. The post-harvest garlic must be dried and stored. When you dry, put garlic in the dry air, so that the sun does not shine, and when you store it, you put garlic in the cold and dry, so as to avoid tide and mold。
Summary:
A mastery of the right garlic farming methods is important for improving yields and quality. During planting, attention is paid to the selection and preparation, selection and seeding, field management, pest control and harvesting and storage. At the same time, flexibility needs to be adapted to local climatic conditions and soil characteristics to ensure healthy growth and high productivity of garlic。
