The growth cycle of spring sowing garlic is generally about 90- 100 days, and that of autumn sowing garlic is about 220-280 days. Specifically, the growth cycle of garlic related to sowing date is divided into several different periods.
1, germination period (generally about 10- 15 days).
2. Seedling stage (sowing garlic in autumn for 5-6 months and sowing garlic in spring for about 25 days).
3. Seed division period (about 10 day).
4. Bulb expansion period (about 50-60 days).
5. Physiological dormancy period (about 60 days).
Planting time:
Garlic planting is generally selected in spring and autumn, and garlic is mainly planted in autumn. It is suitable to plant garlic from the end of September to the beginning of 10 every year, and garlic can be planted when the temperature can be maintained at 3-6℃ in spring.
Precautions for planting:
1, pay attention to watering, because garlic is a crop with high water demand, and it needs to keep the soil moist to make garlic grow rapidly. Generally, it should be watered four times in the whole growth period, once after sowing 1 time, twice in the seedling stage, three times in the budding stage and four times in the bulb expansion stage.
2, but also pay attention to fertilization, garlic has high requirements on soil fertility, and it is easy to affect garlic yield without fertilization.
In order to grow garlic well, field management is also essential after sowing garlic at the right sowing time.
