Environmental requirements for garlic growth

Garlic likes coolness and is more tolerant of low temperatures. It requires higher sunshine and high temperature to promote the differentiation of flower buds and scale buds. In addition, garlic grows best in sandy loam soil. Garlic grown in sandy soil has a strong spicy taste, but its texture is loose and cannot be stored well. Garlic has shallow roots and many root hairs. The root system has weak ability to absorb water and fertilizer, so it is not drought-tolerant. In different growth periods, garlic has different requirements for soil moisture. The germination stage requires higher soil moisture to promote root germination; the seedling stage should not have too much water to prevent the seedlings from growing too long and promote the vertical growth of the root system; the post-mother, bulb and flower bud differentiation stages require higher soil moisture; the bulb expansion stage , the soil moisture should be reduced to prevent the bulb skin from rotting and turning black.
