What is the yield and income per mu of garlic sprouts? A detailed explanation of planting and harvesting
SummaryWhen planting garlic sprouts, about 2400-2800 jin can be harvested per mu. According to market conditions, the current average selling price is about 3 yuan per jin, so the income from one mu of garlic sprouts is about 7200-8400 yuan. After deducting costs, the profit per mu is about 4000 yuan. If high-quality varieties are selected and carefully managed, the yield can still be increased, and the income will increase accordingly.
I. Cost of planting one mu of garlic sprouts
1. Based on planting one mu of garlic sprouts, on average about 350-400 jin of garlic seed is needed. The cost of garlic seed is about 1750-2000 yuan, the fertilizer cost is 1500 yuan, the labor cost for planting and digging garlic is 800 yuan, and the pesticide cost is about 100 yuan. The total cost is about 4200 yuan.
II. Yield and profit of planting one mu of garlic sprouts
The yield of garlic sprouts per mu is about 2400-2800 jin. At a selling price of about 3 yuan per jin, the income from one mu is about 7200-8400 yuan. After deducting the early planting costs, the profit per mu is about 4000 yuan. If high-quality varieties are selected early and carefully managed, the yield of garlic sprouts will also increase somewhat, so the prospects for planting garlic sprouts are still quite good.
III. Methods for planting garlic sprouts
1. Land selection and fertilization
It is suitable to plant in soil that is fertile, has sufficient water sources, has no previous crop, and has no pests or diseases. Plow the soil and expose it to the sun for disinfection. Because garlic sprouts have a relatively high demand for nutrients, sufficient base fertilizer should be applied before planting according to the plot area. After fertilizing, mix the base fertilizer thoroughly with the soil, and then prepare the land.
2. Seed selection and soaking
Before planting, select good seeds. Remove all seeds that are rotten, damaged, or affected by pests or diseases. Then soak the seeds in clean water for about 3 days, changing the water once each day during this period, until the seeds absorb sufficient water. This helps increase the germination rate. Before sowing, mix superphosphate with the seeds to provide sufficient nutrients for the seeds.
3. Timely sowing
After preparing the beds, choose to sow when the temperature is about 18 degrees C. This not only helps control the sowing density of garlic sprouts, but also benefits later management. Control the sowing quantity according to the planting area. Do not sow too densely. Place the garlic seeds neatly. After sowing, cover with soil up to the tip, so that after the seeds emerge, they will not be uneven.
4. Post-sowing management
After sowing, water sufficiently to help promote seed germination and emergence. After the seeds emerge, water promptly as well to help promote robust growth of the seedlings. During this period, do a good job of preserving soil moisture and moisture conservation, and avoid soil clumping, which affects root and stem respiration. Watering and earthing up can be done at the same time. When the seedlings grow to a certain height, spray an appropriate amount of gibberellin to help promote the growth of stems and leaves. Later, according to the growth of the garlic sprouts and the soil conditions, apply additional fertilizer appropriately.
5. Timely harvesting
Garlic sprouts are a multi-harvest vegetable. Therefore, in order to increase the yield of garlic sprouts, when the first batch matures, harvest according to market demand. This not only allows some costs to be recovered earlier, but also helps the growth and development of the second batch of seedlings, providing sufficient growth space and nutrients for the garlic sprouts. When harvesting, do not pull the garlic sprouts up by the roots, because garlic sprouts grow from the base, and the old leaves need to be removed.
