How to Treat Garlic Seedling Death and Root Rot? Detailed Prevention and Control Methods

It can be addressed through measures such as timely drainage, controlling chemical fertilizer application, and regularly disinfecting the garlic field, and dead seedlings and rotted roots need to be cleaned up promptly. Factors such as overwatering, improper fertilization, and pest and disease impacts can all cause garlic seedling death and root rot, so extra attention must be paid during planting.

1. Caused by overwatering

During high temperatures and drought, water appropriately. Pay attention to the watering method; never use flood irrigation. Water a little at a time but water frequently to avoid waterlogging in the field. After watering, do a good job of cultivating and loosening the soil to promote root respiration. If there is too much waterlogging in the field or if rainy weather occurs, drain the water promptly.

2. Caused by improper fertilization

Control the application of chemical fertilizers. When fertilizing, increase the proportion of organic fertilizer applied, pay attention to controlling the nutrient balance in the fertilizer, increase the organic matter content in the soil, and appropriately apply some biological bacterial fertilizer as a top dressing to promote garlic growth, improve stress resistance, and reduce the incidence of pests and diseases.

3. Impact of pests and diseases

Carry out seed soaking and disinfection work, regularly disinfect the garlic field, spray pesticides, do a good job of cultivating and weeding, strengthen fertilizer and water management, and effectively prevent pests and diseases.
