When is the best time to water garlic?

Garlic is carefully watered at seedling and early growth stage. According to past experience, seedlings should grow fully within one week after sowing, and fertilization should be applied at the same time. If the soil is dry, water should be poured once to promote the growth of seedlings; Seedling stage is the key period for the differentiation and formation of garlic vegetative organs. Do not water or do it to prevent flooding, and pay attention to timely drainage in the field after autumn rain. If the drainage is not timely, it is easy to cause garlic seedling death.

Garlic can be watered 1 time in the middle and late seedling stage, and the seedlings should be watered in time to promote the growth of garlic leaves. In addition, organic fertilizer can be applied at one time with watering, which is beneficial to the thickening of garlic pseudostems. Before the soil is frozen, it is necessary to pour enough wintering water, and only after pouring enough wintering water can the seedlings be safely wintered.

Because the ability of garlic root system to absorb water and fertilizer is weak, some biological bacterial fertilizer and appropriate quick-acting fertilizer should be applied at seedling stage to avoid yellowing of garlic tip. Song Yuanlin believes that nitrogen fertilizer can be applied once after garlic is in full bloom, but urea should be avoided to prevent seedlings from burning.

The best time to water garlic.

In early spring, the temperature rises and the seedlings begin to grow. At this time, garlic field watering depends on soil moisture, which can be mastered flexibly. There is much rain and snow this year, and the soil moisture is good. You can start watering in early March. Watering in early spring should not be too early, watering frequency should not be too frequent, and watering amount should not be too much, in case watering lowers the ground temperature and affects the early growth of garlic. After April, garlic entered the peak water demand. As the saying goes, "garlic stands in April", which is the reason. Therefore, in this period, it is necessary to meet the water demand of garlic and keep the soil moist frequently until 5-7 days before harvest.

Garlic needs a lot of water, and it usually needs to be watered four times during the whole growth period.

(1) Plastic film mulching and watering: garlic should be watered in time after sowing, so that no one plant leaks, and every 667 square meters should be watered 100 cubic meters. This kind of water not only meets the needs of garlic planting, but also provides convenience for plastic film mulching.

(2) Strong seedling water: Generally, it should be watered in early April or when the ground temperature is above 15℃.

(3) Moss water: water the garlic moss as soon as it comes out.

(4) water expansion: after pulling out the garlic moss, pour this water.
