Below we will explain in detail the cultivation techniques for garlic chive yellow.
I. How Is Garlic Chive Yellow Grown?
As mentioned earlier, garlic chive yellow is actually specially cultivated garlic seedlings, and in planting, the main emphasis is on one word: “tender.” In fact, the planting method for garlic chive yellow is not very different from ordinary garlic planting. The most important thing is temperature control, because what is harvested is neither garlic leaves nor garlic seed but tender garlic chive yellow, so the “catalytic effect” of temperature is very critical. In addition, timely harvesting of the “garlic chive yellow seedlings” also needs to be done well.
We will explain the specific planting method in detail next.
II. Garlic Chive Yellow Planting Method: Greenhouse Cultivation
1. Sowing
Choose large-cloved, plump, healthy white-skinned garlic or red-skinned garlic as the garlic seed, and carry out seed soaking treatment one day before sowing. Put it in a gunny bag and soak it in a 20000-fold gibberellin solution for 3 hours.
Then cultivate the garlic seed on the plastic film inside the greenhouse.
The sowing time is not very limited. Generally, sowing can be done except when it is especially hot or cold, and early spring, early summer, autumn, and early winter are suitable.
2. Cultivation Management
Cultivation management mainly requires attention to watering and ventilation. In the early stage, water less, and later water more. Generally, watering more can bring the product to market earlier, while the opposite delays the time to market.
In addition, the greenhouse temperature should be controlled at 20-28°C during the day and 13-18°C at night.
The ventilation time is mainly concentrated between 12 noon and 2 p.m. to prevent garlic chive yellow from becoming moldy.
3. Timely Harvest
The growth cycle of garlic chive yellow is relatively short. After about 20 days of planting, the first crop can be harvested, and after another 20 days, the second crop can be harvested. Then the greenhouse can be cleaned and disinfected to prepare for the second sowing.
III. Garlic Chive Yellow Planting Method: Home Cultivation
Home cultivation mainly uses the “potted plant” method to grow garlic chive yellow. The specific method is as follows.
1. Soil preparation: It is best to use the potting soil sold in flower shops, as it has fewer bacteria.
2. Seed soaking treatment: Soak the garlic seed in water for 1-2 days. Smaller garlic seeds do not need to be soaked and can be used as seasoning.
3. Sowing: Sow the seeds in the prepared pot. A foam box can also be used for planting, and it also has a relatively good heat-preservation effect. About 20 can be sown per row, and it is best to sow several rows.
4. Management after sowing: After that, pay attention to watering. Basically, they will sprout in about 5 days and can be harvested and eaten in about 15 days.
Overall, garlic chive yellow is a relatively easy vegetable to grow. It is suitable both for large-scale greenhouse planting and for home planting. If you are interested, hurry up and learn how to grow it!
