Even those who are far from agriculture probably noticed what miscellaneous can be garlic. Sometimes in head only several cloves, but all of them as one, equally large, and in the same head by the size can sometimes be many small cloves of the different size which to clean the real torture. In many respects it depends not on grade at all, and on when garlic has been landed.
Biological features of garlic
Garlic – long-term culture, put once, it can grow on one place for several years, at the same time every year cloves which the bulb will give, will decrease in sizes, but the quantity them will increase. Therefore gardeners who want to receive annually large heads grow up this culture as one-year. For this purpose garlic needs to be landed in soil on spring or in the fall, having separated head into separate cloves.
Fertilizer for garlic: on 1 sq.m it is necessary to bring 5-6 kg of humus, 30 g of superphosphate and 20 g of potash salt. Before landing cloves, bring in soil still 10-12 g of ammonium nitrate.
Garlic – surprising plant. The same grade under different landing conditions, can form arrows peduncles or not. If arrows are formed, on their ends, in the revealed boxes, the set small ready lukovichek which, in fact, are seeds of garlic grows and also can be landed in soil. But after all it is better to use separate cloves, having at the same time in mind that garlic which formed in the summer of arrow, will be suitable for winter landing better, and that who had no arrows, it will be necessary to land in soil on spring.
The garlic landed before winter differs in high productivity, but storage life its short – till spring. Summer garlic can be stored from harvest till harvest.
Terms of landing of garlic
If you have landed garlic for the winter, to worry that cloves will freeze, is not necessary – it even hard frosts to minus 40-45os are not terrible. Plant garlic on depth of 6-7 cm at the end of September – October, in warm time, month for one and a half before frosts that cloves have managed to take roots, but have not ascended.
Before landing sort garlic heads on separate cloves, at the same time discarding defective. Keep in mind if to land such winter garlic in soil on spring, in the summer you receive garlic-odnozubku in dense armor. It needs to be eaten at once as it is not stored long, but it is better to leave for autumn landing, in this case the next year you receive fine harvest from heads, in each of which will be till 4-10 cloves. Yarovoy, besstrelochny, garlic is landed in soil in the early spring as soon as snow descends. In this case it is necessary to hurry that cloves have managed to increase vegetative weight and the large bulb was created from them still before when hot days come.
