Time to sow garlic

Garlic is usually planted in late autumn or early winter, as it needs a cold period – most varieties need one to two months at 0-10°C (32-50°F) for good bulb development. However, a few varieties are suitable for early spring planting.

Cultivation method

A channel is made in the loamy soil so that water does not accumulate and the garlic is planted in it. 4 m long and 1.5 m wide blocks are usually made for planting garlic in line. Garlic cloves should be planted in 1 (one) inch deep furrows 3-4 inches apart in lines four inches apart. At the time of planting, cover the cow with the tip facing upwards.

Fertilizer management

Complete cow dung, TSP, gypsum, boron and half urea and half potash fertilizers should be mixed with the soil first while preparing the land. The rest of the urea and potash fertilizers should be applied in two installments in equal proportions 25 days and 50 days after sowing of garlic. Besides, if ash is applied to the land, the soil is loose and the yield is high.

Irrigation

Mulching the soil with a layer of dry kachuripana or paddy straw 4 to 5 cm thick will improve the yield of garlic. In this case, more irrigation is not required. If cultivated without mulch, irrigation should be done every 15 to 20 days depending on the type of land. After irrigation, the soil must be broken after the soil becomes fertile. After 30-60 minutes of irrigation, the irrigation canal should be opened. Irrigation should be stopped 3 weeks before harvesting garlic.

Weeds

Monitor the soil regularly. After irrigation and fertilizing, weeding is done as soon as the joe arrives. Weed control should be done after 20-25 days of seedling growth. If the tree is too thick, it should be thinned. From the seedling stage to the formation of garlic, the land should be cleared of weeds by hoeing 2 to 3 times.
Weather and disasters: If water accumulates on the land due to heavy rains, measures should be taken to remove the water quickly by making drains.

Insects

Garlic leafhopper Emamectin benzoate insecticide (eg Proclaim 10 gm) or Cypermethrin insecticide (eg Ripcord 10 liquid or Simbush 10 liquid 20 ml / 4 mouths) should be mixed with every 10 liters of water and sprayed every 5th century, 2 times after 10 days. have to do Care must be taken when spraying the medicine.
For control of thrips, Imidachloroprid insecticide (such as Edmayer or Tido 7-10 ml / 2 mouths) should be mixed with 10 liters of water and sprayed every 5 hundredths 2/3 times every 10 days. Care must be taken when spraying the medicine.
In case of small spider attack, sulfur type (Cumulus DF or Ronovit 80 WG or Thiovit 80 WG or Sulfolac 80 WG, Macsulphur 80 WG or Sulphatox 80 WG) should be sprayed by mixing 250 grams per 10 liters of water.

Disease

Downy mildew disease of garlic Mix Mencozeb + Metaloxyl fungicide (Ridomil Gold 20 gm) or Iprodione fungicide (Rovral 20 gm) in 10 liters of water and spray 3-4 times after 10-12 days. Care must be taken when spraying the medicine.
Mix Mencozeb + Metaloxyl fungicide (Ridomil Gold 20 gm) or Iprodione fungicide (Roveral 20 gm) in 10 liters of water and spray 3-4 times after 10-12 days. Care must be taken when spraying the medicine.
To control purple blotch disease of garlic, Carbendazim fungicide (eg Emcozim 20 gm) or Mencozeb + Metaloxyl fungicide (Ridomil Gold 20 gm) should be mixed with 10 liters of water and sprayed well every 12-15 days for 2-3 times every 5 centuries. Care must be taken when spraying the medicine.
For control of red rust disease of garlic propiconazole type fungicide (such as tilt 5ml/1 mouth) should be mixed with 10 liters of water and sprayed 2-3 times every 5th century after 10-12 days. Caution should be taken while spraying the medicine.

warning

Before using pesticides/insecticides, read the label on the bottle or packet carefully and follow the directions. Wear safety clothing during use. No smoking or drinking during use. Be careful not to let water from pesticide-sprayed land run into open water bodies. Market the crops of pesticide applied fields at least seven to 15 days later. Wear protective clothing when using pesticides/insecticides. Do not smoke or drink during use.

conservation

The soil has to be cleaned. Then dry it in the shade for 3-4 days. Garlic can become soft when dried in the sun. Then the garlic is cut from the stem and stored. Hang dried garlic seeds in a loft in a light ventilated room. Garlic is good in it. If there is more quantity, dry it and cool it and keep it in a net bag. In addition, a large amount of dry garlic in the freezer at 0-2 degrees C. Store longer at 60-70% humidity at room temperature.
