Steps and methods of planting garlic
Garlic is the underground bulb of Allium in Liliaceae. The whole garlic plant has a strong pungent garlic smell. Garlic, garlic leaves (green garlic or garlic seedlings) and flower stems (garlic stems) can all be used as vegetables, not only for seasoning, but also for medicine. It is a famous medicinal and edible plant. Garlic bulbs are rich in protein, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides, as well as fats and minerals.
Due to different sowing dates, the growth cycle of garlic is very different. The growth period of spring sowing garlic is short, generally 90 ~110d; Garlic sown in autumn usually grows for 220~280d due to a certain number of days of low-temperature vernalization. The germination period is from sowing to the time when the basal leaves grow out of the ground. Generally, garlic germinates 10~ 15d after sowing, and the root system mainly grows vertically during the germination period.
Steps and methods of planting garlic
Garlic likes cold and bears low temperature. Higher sunshine and high temperature are needed to promote the differentiation of flower buds and scale buds. In addition, garlic grows best in sandy loam. Garlic grown in sandy soil has a strong spicy taste, but its texture is loose and it is not resistant to storage. Garlic root system is shallow, hairy, weak in water absorption and fertilization, and not drought-tolerant. At different growth stages, garlic has different requirements for soil moisture.
