Introduction to the High-Yield Garlic Variety Huanong No. 1

Huanong No. 1 garlic is a high-yield garlic variety bred by the Zhongke Huanong International Agricultural Development Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. In 2007, expert yield assessment and acceptance showed that the demonstration field produced 5800 jin of garlic bulbs per mu.

This variety has a well-developed root system, strong growth vigor, thick and sturdy stems, and broad, thick, dark green leaves, with strong cold resistance and disease resistance. It has high garlic bolt yield, and the garlic bolts are tender and of excellent quality. The garlic bulbs are large, uniform and attractive, with more than 90% having a diameter between 6 and 8 cm, giving excellent marketability; the bulb skin is thick, the cloves do not scatter, and the bulbs tolerate storage and transport, with excellent quality. It is a good variety for earning foreign exchange through exports and also the most ideal variety for garlic farmers to upgrade and replace their crops. In recent years, this variety has participated in comparative trial demonstrations across the country, showing significantly higher yields than local varieties in garlic-producing areas.
