Detailed Explanation of Key Points for Safe Garlic Production Technology
I. Plot selection. Choose loam or light clay loam plots for planting.

It is advisable to make the soil nutrient content reach about 110.53 micrograms/gram of available nitrogen, 60.22 micrograms/gram of available phosphorus, 136.77 micrograms/gram of available potassium, 8.41 micrograms/gram of available sulfur, 0.85 micrograms/gram of available boron, 7.52 micrograms/gram of available copper, 12.52 micrograms/gram of available zinc, and soil organic matter of about 1.71%.
V. Reasonable close planting. Garlic at 25,000-29,000 plants per mu, and scape garlic at 42,000-45,000 plants per mu.
VI. Strengthen management. From March 28 to April 5, timely irrigate with green-up water and apply green-up fertilizer.
