Two steps are necessary to get a good garlic code
The agricultural proverb, which says, “onions, onions and garlic”, is not intended for autumn garlic, but for spring garlic, which is not for september, and winter, is for winter。
Local farmers, however, have applied this phrase to the autumn garlic, which, according to local climatic conditions, is also highly appropriate, as the garlic growers say, “august early, october late, september when the garlic is right”, that is to say, september, when the garlic is planted, it is good for the garlic seedlings, and it is not frozen because the plant is growing too well, but it also provides a solid foundation for the harvest of the coming year。
Of course, the abundance of garlic is extremely closely related to scientific fertilization, in addition to choosing suitable seasons for cultivation。
Traditional garlic growers understand that there is a strong correlation between the high production of garlic and the organic content of the soil, and that, until fertilizer is used in large quantities, the farmers mainly grow garlic using farm fertilizer, which is about 3 tons per acre, followed by an unprecedented increase in garlic production following the application of fertilizer in conjunction with farm fertilizer。
Farmers taste the sweets of fertilizers, while ignoring their role as farmers。
As rural development has evolved, households have lost the conditions for the production of farm fertilizer while living well, which is precisely the application of fertilizers, which has led to an explosion of growth。
However, the garlic farmers are gradually discovering the reality that the more fertilizer they use, the more they meet the ceiling. Later, according to agrotechnical experts, garlic farmers use potassium fertilizers with nitrogen phosphorus in order to increase their production, often with additional application, and nitrogen is active among the three nitrogen phosphorus elements, which can be active as gas is lost to air and potassium as water flows to the soil, while phosphorus is indeed inert。
Obsolete phosphorus elements in the soil cannot be decomposed and, on the basis of the soil sheeting, they accumulate too many trace elements, such as zinc, silicon and molybdenum, in the soil, which result in poor growth of garlic and lack of nutrients。
The main way to address this problem is through substantial supplementation of organic fertilizers, which, based on the rational application of potassium nitrous phosphorus compound fertilizers, the scientific supplementation of micronutrient fertilizers, and the large application of organic fertilizers, has the effect of nitrous phosphorus potassium in the soil for the biological group in organic fertilizers。
However, how can a garlic farmer fertilize scientifically in the light of the fact that today the use of organic or biobacterium fertilizer in bags is not significant and is too costly
1. Full utilization of animal excreta such as pig and chicken dung
Cow manure, which can be procured with the conditions to produce earthworms, is even more effective. At present, animal manure is relatively cheap organic manure, which not only contains a rich variety of nutrients, but also has the effect of releasing slowly, vulnerable to loss and persistent fertility。
Not only can it provide balanced nutrition for garlic, but it can also improve fertilizer and thereby reduce fertilizer inputs。
However, manure is also a double-edged sword, with significant increases in production, and poor use can result in reduced production, especially of pigs and chickens, which must be fully decomposed, dried up and then sprayed. Some farmers prefer to use fresh manure, which not only contains all kinds of harmful fungus, but also heavy metals, which are harmful to the soil, which is not good for the soil, which is used for fresh manure, which is also repeated fermentation, which produces heat and causes garlic fever, with a series of negative effects on the growth of garlic。
2. Rational application of biological organic fertilizers
For farmers who cannot afford to buy manure, the bags sold on the market are the preferred ones, and for some high-quality organic fertilizers rich in manure, the general price is over $100 (80 pounds/bag), which is too costly to accept by growers。
Experienced growers usually use organic + biobacterizers to supplement the organic matter in the soil and to increase the number of beneficial micro-organisms in the soil. This formulation, while not using the effects of decomposed manure in significant quantities, is better than nothing and, with its accumulation over the years, can help improve the soil。
3. Rational use of fertilizer
Fertilizers should not be abused, but they should not be demonized. Their rational use remains the main means of increasing production and quality. As garlic is the main source of demand for potassium nitrogen, the highest demand for nitrogen, the second highest demand for potassium and the lowest demand for phosphorus, growers should purchase a suitable ratio for the planting of garlic when choosing the combination of potassium nitrogen phosphorus。
It is also critical for the high production of garlic, as well as for the recovery of fat for critical periods of growth, such as seedling, returning to green, screeching, and swelling。
Today, however, much of the garlic growers have lost their habits of fatting, and instead have adopted a one-time application of multiple bottom fertilizers to reach the nutritional supply throughout the growing season, which, although less popular, is in keeping with the current rapid pace of rural life。
