In what month was jinxiang garlic planted?

Garlic is sown in the middle and late September. If the seeds are sown too early, the seedlings will grow too vigorously before overwintering, consume nutrients and reduce their overwintering ability, which may lead to vernalization again and secondary growth. Compound garlic will be formed in the second year, which will reduce the quality of garlic.

If sowing is too late, the seedlings will be small, the tissues will be tender, the roots will be weak, the accumulated nutrients will be less, the cold resistance will be low, and more people will die during the winter. Therefore, the sowing date of garlic must be strictly controlled.

Garlic likes cool climate. The suitable temperature for aboveground stem and leaf growth is 12- 16℃, and the optimum seedling age for overwintering is 4-6 leaves. It takes about 40-45 days from sowing to growing 4-6 leaves, and the growth will stop when the daily average temperature is lower than 7℃. The seedlings have strong cold tolerance and can tolerate the low temperature of -7 ~- 10℃. At 0-4℃, the vernalization period can be passed after 30-40 days.

Overwintering management of garlic

When garlic seedlings are in full bloom, water them once according to the degree of drought. In the north, this period is in the autumn dry season, and it is usually watered after emergence, and then watered before winter, as long as it is dry.

Garlic grows to 1 1 month and gradually begins to hibernate. Before the dormancy period, it should be watered with frozen water once to ensure adequate water supply in winter months.

After garlic really begins to dormancy, it is necessary to cover garlic seedlings with a layer of straw and orange stalks. This is to keep warm, but also to reduce the evaporation of water in the soil, which is conducive to garlic turning green in spring.
