If you want to plant garlic with one head, it is recommended to plant it between1February-1 month. In this way, the yield of garlic with one head will be higher. If sowing is too early or too late, it is easy to split and die. So if you want to grow garlic with one head, you must strictly control the planting time.

What should I pay attention to when planting garlic?

Garlic is a cold-loving plant, which can sleep automatically when it is cold. If sowing is too early, it will lead to slow emergence because it is still in sleep. When garlic seedlings appear, their cold resistance will be obviously weakened due to high temperature in the early stage and excessive growth before winter. In addition, the lower leaves of plants are easy to dry, and they are easy to dry in the later growth stage. After late sowing, garlic seedlings are smaller, have less nutrient accumulation, and have weak cold resistance before overwintering. Especially, late sowing will shorten the growth period of stems and leaves and reduce the number of leaves, but the maturity of garlic is the same as or a little later than that of early sowing, so garlic is small, with low yield and poor quality.

What is the reason for the formation of garlic with one head?

In addition to climatic factors, the main reason for the formation of garlic with one head is the lack of nutritional support. Because of its small size and light weight, the yield of fields with large single garlic yield is usually not ideal. Fortunately, the market space of one-headed garlic is gradually expanding, and its value is higher than that of ordinary multi-petalled garlic. Although the output is low, the price is high. With the increasing demand, the value of garlic with one head will continue to increase. At this time, it is also possible to artificially promote the formation of garlic with one head.

What is the field management of garlic?

The field management of garlic is mainly topdressing and weeding. One of the main measures of topdressing is to apply fertilizer 2-3 times at seedling stage, mainly for human and livestock, and apply heavy fertilizer once after wintering to promote the elongation of garlic shoots and the expansion of garlic heads. Don't over-fertilize, so as not to cause rot. When garlic seedlings are small, they can be cultivated in the middle, and when the seedlings are 35 cm high, they need to be cultivated in shallow environment. During the growth of garlic leaves, it is necessary to plow and weed frequently to keep the soil surface soft and not hardened. If a layer of plant straw can be laid on the soil surface, it can not only keep water and fertilizer, but also prevent soil hardening and inhibit weed growth.
