Soil Preparation: Loamy sandy soil is ideal for garlic cultivation. Before sowing, plow the field 2-3 times to make the soil loose and well-prepared.
Seed Selection: Choose high-quality garlic cloves for planting, with each clove weighing around 8-10 grams for the best results.
Sowing Time: The optimal time for planting garlic is in October or November for a successful harvest.
Spacing: Plant garlic cloves at a spacing of 12-14 cm, with rows spaced 16-18 cm apart to allow room for growth.
Irrigation: Garlic requires regular watering, but avoids water logging. For the first 30 days after sowing, pay special attention to consistent irrigation.
Fertilizer Management: Use organic fertilizers, such as compost or cow manure. Additionally, apply balanced amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to promote healthy growth.
Pest and Disease Control: Garlic crops are susceptible to whitefly and rot. Use organic pesticides and inspect crops regularly to ensure timely pest and disease management.
