How should garlic scapes be stored in winter to keep them fresh longer?
Temperature management of the storage room. Garlic is a plant with relatively strong cold resistance, and garlic scapes, being the flower stalks of garlic, still have relatively strong physiological cold resistance. When the storage ambient temperature reaches their freezing point, the preservation effect is best. The freezing point temperature of garlic scapes is -0.8 to -1°C (varying with solids content). When the scape temperature is above -0.8°C, tissue freezing will not occur, so it is safe. Based on diverse practical experience, the recommended cold storage index for garlic scape room temperature is -1 to 0°C. Within this range, lower the upper

Key Points and Detailed Methods for Garlic Scape Storage and Fresh-keeping Technology
From the current theoretical research and practical experience on garlic scapes, the combined storage and fresh-keeping technology of low temperature, restricted air, and preservatives is relatively successful, which can store high-quality garlic scapes for more than 270-300 days, or even achieve year-round storage, with a good shoot rate of 96%, and the stored garlic scapes have bright green color, crisp and tender texture, and excellent flavor. 1. Operating procedures: cold storage disinfection and sterilization -> selection of storage-tolerant varieties -> determination of harvest period -> pre-harvest treatment -> harvesting and purchasing -> short-distance transport -> heat dissipation -> pre-storage processing -> pre-cooling and sterilization -> bagging

How to harvest garlic scapes? Remember these four tips
In recent years, many scape farmers have changed the old cultivation method of growing green garlic and digging up green garlic for market into the cultivation method of harvesting garlic scapes and digging up garlic bulbs for market. Among them, many farmers, because they do not know how to harvest garlic scapes scientifically, either end up with poor-quality garlic scapes and low yields, or with small garlic bulbs and heavy yield reductions, and cannot achieve the best results in increasing production and income. To ensure harvesting high-quality, high-yield garlic scapes while also getting a bumper harvest of garlic bulbs, I will introduce to everyone the four "secrets" of scientifically harvesting garlic scapes. 1. Choose the right harvest time when the "scape tip" curves nearly a full circle. Garlic scapes must be harvested at the right time. Harvesting too early will

Proper preservation and storage of garlic scapes brings high value-added benefits
Garlic scapes should be harvested at the curved-scape stage, generally in mid-May in Shandong. The best harvesting method is pulling the scape, as this causes a small wounded area; if cut, the wounded area is large and prone to mold infection. After purchasing garlic scapes, transport them promptly to the storage site and avoid mechanical damage. When sorting the garlic scapes, remove the scape sheath, cut off the fibrous base portion, and discard damaged, rotten, overly swollen scape bulbs and excessively thin scapes. Then tie the garlic scapes into bundles, align the scape bulbs, and bind them straight and tight. Before loading into the warehouse, the warehouse must be disinfected by burning 5-10 grams of sulfur per cubic meter

What are the methods for keeping garlic scapes fresh? Do this to store them longer
1. Harvesting garlic scapes 1. Harvest at the right time. The suitable harvest period is when the scape stalk has grown out of the terminal leaf and bends to one side (that is, hooks) around in a full circle. Harvested too young, the flavor is poor and it does not keep well; harvested too old, the quality is poor and it has no value for long-term storage. 2. Harvesting method. The "lifting the seedling" method is preferable: hold the scape stalk where it emerges from the terminal leaf with your hand and lift upward, so that the scape stalk breaks off from the base. The cross-sectional wound caused by "lifting the seedling" heals easily, whereas the wound from "cutting the seedling" harvest rots easily. 3. Harvesting time. Choose a sunny day, and by no means harvest on a rainy day.

Tips for Harvesting Garlic Scapes: Mastering the Method Is Key
1. Timing of harvest. Garlic scapes must be harvested at the right time. Harvesting too early results in low scape yields because the scape has not fully emerged, and after harvest an "excess scape" section will still push out. Harvesting too late not only affects the fresh, tender quality of the scapes because they have become "over-mature," but also reduces garlic bulb yields. The most suitable harvest time is: when the scape has emerged and the "scape tip" has curved nearly a full circle. 2. Choose overcast days or after the sun slants westward on sunny days for harvesting. Harvesting garlic scapes easily leaves "wounds" on the stems and leaves of the garlic. If harvested under strong sunlight on a sunny day, the large transpiration rate and

Detailed Explanation of Silicon Window Controlled Atmosphere Storage Technology for Garlic Scapes
In the early 1980s, China began large-scale promotion of silicon window controlled atmosphere technology to preserve garlic scapes. It works by embedding a certain area of silicone rubber membrane in a plastic bag to automatically regulate the gas composition inside the bag, achieving the purpose of preservation. It has the characteristics of saving labor, saving time, saving energy, convenient management, stable gas composition, long storage period, low loss, and good quality. The economic benefits are significant, so it was promoted and used on a large scale in a short time. I. Silicon Window Controlled Atmosphere Storage of Garlic Scapes 1. Forms of Silicon Window Use Cold storage silicon window controlled atmosphere has two forms: small packaging fresh-keeping bags and large plastic tents.

Key Field Management Techniques After Harvesting Garlic Scapes
First, clean the field sources in a timely manner. After the garlic scape harvest is finished, garlic growers should promptly clean the field sources, tidy up the leaves in the field that were bruised during scape harvesting, and carry broken leaves, old leaves and diseased leaves out of the field for deep burial, so as to prevent the year-by-year accumulation of fungal sources in the field and reduce the number of pathogenic fungi in the soil the following year. Second, do a good job of clearing ditches and regulating soil moisture. Taking advantage of the free time after the garlic scape harvest, garlic growers should promptly clean the drainage ditches in the garlic field to prevent waterlogging after rain from affecting the growth of garlic bulbs, ensure that the field has a complete three-ditch system with smooth drainage, and improve its own stress resistance.
