The method of planting garlic seedlings is as follows:

1. Select garlic seeds

The requirements for garlic seedling planting are not strict. Generally, the characteristics of other garlic varieties are used. Small garlic cloves, purple-skinned garlic, white-skinned garlic, or single-headed garlic can be used.

2. Land preparation and fertilization

Garlic seedlings do not have high soil requirements and can be planted in various soil types. The nutrients required for the growth of garlic seedlings come from the mother valve. When planting garlic seedlings in the open field, because the growth period of garlic seedlings is relatively long, in order to make the garlic seedlings fresh, tender and plump, it is recommended to use farmyard manure as base fertilizer. Before sowing, about 3000~4000 kilograms of decomposed farmyard manure can be applied to each acre of land, and then plowed, leveled, and planted. plot. Cultivation under other protection facilities can be done according to land conditions.

3. Sowing

When sowing garlic seedlings, first open a trench about 3 cm deep and 13 cm wide in the border. The trench spacing is about 35 cm. Plant 2 rows in each trench and plant spacing. 4 to 5 cm; or plant in single rows with a row spacing of about 18 cm and a plant spacing of 4 to 5 cm. Generally, 200 to 250 kilograms per acre of land are used. After planting the garlic, cover it with 1 to 2 centimeters of soil, then stamp it firmly and water it in time.

When sowing seeds, plant them with skins on them, and plant them separately according to the size of the mother petals, so that the garlic seedlings can emerge neatly and be easily managed, which is also conducive to harvesting in batches and putting them on the market.

4. Field management

When garlic seedlings are cultivated in the open field, it is recommended to water them lightly several times from sowing to before emergence. On the one hand, it can reduce the ground temperature and keep the soil moist; on the other hand, it can It can promote garlic seedlings to take root and emerge early. After the garlic seedlings have emerged, chase the diluted manure water once with the water, or use ammonium sulfate to promote the growth of the seedlings. Before harvesting, quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer should be applied once to improve the quality and yield of garlic seedlings.

5. Harvest

It usually takes about 60 days from sowing to harvesting garlic seedlings planted in autumn; in the south, they can be put on the market from November to December according to market demand. When harvesting, the garlic seedlings are uprooted, washed, and tied into bundles for sale. Overwintering garlic seedlings should be harvested before spring warms up. If they are not harvested in time, plant respiration will increase as the temperature rises, which will consume a lot of nutrients, causing the leaf tissue to gradually age, the cellulose content to increase, and the quality of the garlic seedlings to decrease.
