Garlic top dressing is generally based on nitrogen fertilizer. When needed, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium fertilizer and various elements should be applied in combination. This is conducive to the normal growth and development of garlic, promotes the absorption and utilization of nutrients and improves quality.

4. Water management

Generally, the seedlings will be ready within one week of sowing. After topdressing the seedling fertilizer, if the field is dry, you can irrigate once to promote seedling growth. Before harvesting garlic. Stop watering for 5 days to control growth and accelerate the transfer of assimilated substances from the leaves to the garlic.
