Steps and methods for growing single garlic

[Agricultural] usually net increase yield and quality of goods garlic head, to try to reduce the number of single head of garlic, but in recent years only a single head of garlic with its round shape and beautiful, easy to eat and has favored consumers, the market is very it is good.

First, single head garlic sowing technology

When planting, first ditch at a distance of 15 cm, the depth of the ditch is about 6 cm, and then plant the petals at a planting distance of 3 to 4 cm, and then cover the soil, and the thickness is 3 to 4 cm. After the whole sputum is broadcast, spread the small radish seeds evenly, and use about 0.5 kilograms per mu. After sowing, simmer the noodles and fill the water. The purpose of mixing small radish seeds is to use small radishes. The characteristics of germination and emergence are fast, inhibiting the growth of garlic seedlings, in order to increase the rate of single head and reduce the amount of garlic.

Second, the single-head garlic field management technology

After the radish emerges, the seedlings are divided into 6 to 8 cm. After harvesting all the small radishes in the early spring of the next year, the garlic fields were managed by cultivating, weeding, topdressing and irrigation. Ensure adequate supply of water during the expansion of the garlic.

1. How to do it on the ground

Single-head garlic planting chooses sand loam or light loam soil to avoid continuous cropping. Before the harvest of the former crop, 250 kg of fermented manure and 50 kg of superphosphate are used as base fertilizer. After shallow tillage, it is made into a flat raft with a width of about 1.4 meters.

2, how to choose a variety of garlic

The kind of petal used for the production of single-headed garlic must be small garlic cloves, so it is generally selected from garlic varieties with more garlic cloves and smaller garlic cloves . However, when the garlic is the same as the small garlic cloves, the percentage of the single-headed garlic and the weight of the single head are significantly different, which affects the yield and quality of the single-headed garlic. Therefore, before engaging in the production of single-headed garlic, a variety comparison test should be conducted to select varieties that are suitable for local cultivation, with a high single-head rate and a large single head weight. According to reports, early-ripening garlic varieties such as Ershuizao, Pengxian early-maturing, Wenjiang red-seven-star, etc., using a garlic flap weighing 0.5~1g as a seed flap, the rate of single head can reach 76%~92%, and the weight of single head is 4~6g. .

3. How to choose a kind of petal

The size of the petal produced by the single-headed garlic is related to the yield and quality of the single-headed garlic. Choose the garlic cloves of the right size for the garlic, in order to obtain a high head rate and a moderately sized garlic. If the kind of petal is too large, it will produce small garlic with 2-3 garlic cloves, which will reduce the rate of single head; if the petal is too small, the single garlic produced will be too small and lose the value of commercial crystal. Generally, the single weight of a single head garlic is 5-8 grams. In order to produce a single-headed garlic with a high head rate and a suitable size, a test of the relationship between the size of the petal and the rate of the head and the weight of the single head is required. According to the production experience of Hubei, when using the small garlic cloves (also known as "Spider Garlic") in the local white-skin garlic variety as the seed petals, it is better to use 100-grain weight below 90 g.

4, harvesting technology

In the autumn sowing area, before and after the summer of the next year (early May), when the pseudo stem became soft and most of the lower leaves were dry, the garlic was dug in time. Early in the morning, the garlic is not full; the harvest is late, the garlic skin is hard and difficult to process. For the processing of the single-headed garlic, cut off the fake stems and fibrous roots after excavation, and transport them to the processing plant to prevent sun and rain. As a fresh garlic on sale, after digging garlic, it should be dried in the sun for 2~3 days to prevent mildew. The average yield per mu is 300-500 kg.
