1 temperature
Plants must meet three conditions: temperature, humidity and air. Under the premise of ensuring that the seeds have no problems, these three conditions must be met to make the seeds germinate. The optimum temperature for garlic germination is about 65438 05 ~ 20℃.
Exceeding this temperature will inhibit the germination rate of garlic. Garlic grown in the north is autumn, which is the strength of autumn tigers. Even if you water it every day, the temperature is close to 30 degrees. It takes 5~ 10 days to germinate, which is irregular, especially in summer, so garlic must germinate quickly under suitable temperature conditions.
Two garlic cloves were covered.
This is an old problem for many growers. When garlic cloves are unintentional or for other reasons, the bottom of garlic cloves is the top. Growers all know that it is difficult to cover garlic.
If it is not removed, it will delay the rooting of garlic. Therefore, it is suggested that growers must pay attention to removing garlic cloves. If you can't use your hands, you are advised to soak the garlic cloves at the top in water, so that you can see the holes in the middle of the garlic, and be careful not to destroy the bacteria.
Understand the two reasons that affect the slow germination of garlic. We growers can avoid these two problems and take corresponding measures to make garlic sprout faster and more orderly.
3 water immersion
This method is simple and suitable for all growers. Farmers put chopped garlic cloves in clean water for 48 hours, then take them out and cover them with wet sand or fine soil for 2-3 days. This may occur 4-6 days after sowing.
4 Low temperature treatment
It is said that the optimum temperature for garlic germination is about 15 to 20 degrees, and high temperature will inhibit garlic germination. Therefore, as long as low temperature treatment is carried out to break the dormancy period of garlic, it can promote the rapid germination of garlic.
The same grower can soak garlic seeds in water for 6- 10 hour, take them out and put them in a bag and put them in a cool kiln for 5- 10 day. It was found that garlic roots and buds turned white after sowing in time. Or soak garlic in a cool and humid place, about 10 cm thick.
Pay attention to spray water regularly with a watering can, turn it over every 2~3 days to make garlic evenly moist and promote garlic germination, and put it in after 10. In this way, the sowing date after sowing can also be advanced by 7- 10 days. If the planting area is small and conditions permit, low temperature treatment can also be carried out in large wells in rural areas.
Extended data:
Garlic, also known as garlic, garlic, Hu garlic, Hu, Du garlic and Du garlic, is the general name of garlic plants. Semi-annual herb, Allium in Liliaceae, whose bulbs are used as medicine. Harvest in spring and summer, tie it, hang it in a ventilated place, and dry it in the shade for later use. As the agricultural proverb says, "If you plant garlic for nine months, you will grow nine heads." In June, when the leaves are dry, remove the sediment, ventilate to dry or bake until the epidermis is dry.
Garlic is oblate or short cone-shaped, with off-white or light brown membranous scales outside. After peeling off the scales, there are 6 ~ 10 garlic cloves, which are whorled around the flower stem. The stem base is discoid and has many fibrous roots. Every garlic clove is wrapped in a film. When the film is peeled off, white, thick and juicy scales are seen. It has a strong garlic flavor and spicy taste.
It has a pungent smell and can be eaten or used for seasoning, and can also be used as medicine. Underground bulbs are divided into purple species and white species according to different skin colors. Garlic was introduced into China from the Western Regions in Qin and Han Dynasties. It is artificially bred and propagated, which has anti-cancer effect and is very popular with the public.
