What should be noted when harvesting garlic scapes?
Generally, when the garlic scape emerges from the leaf sheath and begins to bend, it is the suitable time to harvest the garlic scape. Harvesting early or late has a great impact on the yield and quality of the garlic scape. If harvested too early, the yield is not high, it breaks easily, and its marketability is poor. If harvested too late, although the yield can be increased, it consumes too many nutrients and affects the growth and development of the garlic bulb, and the garlic scape tissue ages and its fiber increases; especially the base of the garlic scape ages and becomes inedible. Therefore, it is best to harvest garlic scapes at noon and in the afternoon on sunny days. At this time the plants are somewhat wilted, the leaf sheath and the garlic scape separate easily, and the leaves are tough and not easy to break, which can

What control measures should be taken when pathological changes occur in garlic scapes during storage?
Abnormal changes of the scape tip 1. Browning of the scape tip (1) Symptoms The scape tip changes from yellow-green to yellow-brown or dark brown, dehydrates and shrinks into a thin flake-like form, is prone to decay, and is easily infected by mold, losing its toughness; dry-affected ones break easily, and wet-affected ones rot easily and are infected by mold. (2) Causes The tissues of the scape tip undergo physiological aging and death, and lose water and shrink. High temperature and high oxygen promote browning, and high humidity aggravates the degree of browning. (3) Control Harvest at the proper time, and strictly prevent high temperature, air-drying, or smothering during harvest and transport.
