How to apply water and fertilizer when planting garlic? Please guide.


Water and fertilizer management for planting garlic can refer to the following methods:
When the garlic seedlings have 2-3 leaves, apply a seedling fertilizer, usually 1500 kg of diluted manure water or 30 kg of ammonium bicarbonate diluted in water and splashed on, combined with one light watering. After that, between "Minor Snow" and "Major Snow", water once with antifreeze water. The following year, around "Spring Equinox", the temperature begins to rise and the garlic seedlings begin active growth. On a clear day at noon, water once with "greening water" to promote the garlic seedlings to turn green and grow in time, then control water appropriately to promote root development and the differentiation of the scape and bulb. After entering April, the garlic seedlings enter the vigorous growth period, and a thorough watering should be given every 7-10 days, combined with topdressing, applying 25-30 kg of urea per mu or 15-20 kg of ammonium bicarbonate per mu. From early May to around the 20th is the vigorous growth period of garlic scapes. During this period, the ground should be kept moist, generally watering once every 5-7 days, and stopping water 5 days before scape extraction to facilitate scape pulling. During the scape extraction period, combined with watering, apply 25-30 kg per mu of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium compound fertilizer to promote garlic scape growth. After pulling the scapes, water promptly. At this stage, the growth center has shifted to the garlic bulbs, so keep the ground alternating between dry and moist to promote bulb expansion, until stopping water 3 days before harvest.
