Seed soaking with fertilizer solution: before planting, soak the seeds for 8-10 hours in a mixture of 1500x Shennongsu chelated fertilizer and 1000x natural brassin. Apply sufficient base fertilizer: per mu, apply 40-50 kg of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (15-15-15) compound fertilizer and 8-10 kg of biological bacterial fertilizer in furrows, cover with a layer of soil, then plant the garlic seeds, and afterward cover the soil with dry rice straw or other weeds, with a straw thickness of 5-6 cm being suitable.
Timely topdressing: when the seedlings are about 10-15 cm tall and have grown 3-5 new leaves, begin topdressing, then topdress once every 15-20 days, and after 3-5 consecutive applications they can be harvested. Each time, apply per mu 40-50 kg of composted decomposed peanut bran, 8-10 kg of Huolizu biological bacterial fertilizer, and 20-30 kg of amino acid organic compound fertilizer, dilute with clean water at 100 times, and evenly drench the soil around the roots of the garlic plants.
Foliar topdressing: during the growth and development period of autumn garlic, it is necessary to spray the foliage once every 7-10 days with a mixture of 0.1% magnesium sulfate, 0.2% urea, 0.3% monopotassium phosphate, 300x calcium nitrate, 1000x plant high-efficiency balanced nutrient solution, and 1000x natural brassin, spraying continuously 8-10 times, evenly wetting all stems and leaves, until water droplets begin to drip down.
