Can we start the Winter Festival in kind of garlic?

Suitable for planting garlic, garlic likes to be cold and tolerant to low temperature. Higher sunshine and high temperature are needed to promote the differentiation of flower buds and scale buds.

In addition, garlic grows best in sandy loam. Garlic grown in sandy soil has a strong spicy taste, but its texture is loose and it is not resistant to storage. Garlic root system is shallow, hairy, weak in water absorption and fertilization, and not drought-tolerant. At different growth stages, garlic has different requirements for soil moisture. High soil moisture is needed in the germination stage to promote the germination of hair roots;

There should not be too much water at the seedling stage to prevent the seedlings from growing white and promote the longitudinal growth of roots; High soil moisture is needed after the differentiation of mother, scale bud and flower bud; Reduce soil moisture during bulb expansion to prevent bulb skin from rotting and blackening? .

Extended data:

The period from sowing to the appearance of basal leaves is the germination stage. Generally, garlic germinates at 10~ 15d after sowing. During the germination period, the roots mainly grow vertically, with the longest root above 1cm and more than 30 hairy roots.

The period from the development of the first true leaf to the beginning of flower bud and flower bud differentiation is the seedling stage. It takes only 25 days for spring sowing garlic to survive the seedling stage, and it takes 5-6 months for autumn sowing garlic to grow nutritionally, which lays a material foundation for flower bud and flower bud differentiation.

In the differentiation stage of scale bud and flower bud, the vegetative body of the plant grew fully, the root system grew strongly, the plant height and leaf area increased rapidly, and the nutrient accumulation increased, which laid a material foundation for the growth of garlic bolts and bulbs.
