Remedies for yellowing garlic leaf tips in autumn

In autumn, garlic plants easily develop yellowing leaf tips, which stunts the growth of stems and leaves, keeps the stalks thin, and leads to low yield and poor quality, so cultivation management must be strengthened.

Rational fertilization: during the growth period of autumn garlic, a root fertilizer must be applied every 15-20 days, mainly high-quality organic fertilizer; each time apply 0.5-1 kg of composted and fully rotted peanut cake fertilizer per sq m of garlic plot, mixed with 10-15 kg of clean water or composted and fully rotted human and livestock manure water, then pour it on. At the same time, every 10-15 days spray the leaves once with an 800-fold dilution of the vegetable-specific Gaomeishi organic humic acid active liquid fertilizer aqueous solution, spraying all leaves evenly and wetting them until they just begin to drip.

Timely water supply: when planting garlic in autumn, a sufficient water supply must be ensured, and the soil must be kept moist. In addition to watering once with clean water each morning and evening, 8-10 kg per sq m each time, the bed surface must also be covered with dry straw or other weeds, with a straw thickness of 3-5 cm, to reduce water loss and keep the soil moist.

Pest and disease control: autumn garlic is severely damaged by leaf spot, anthracnose, aphids, red spiders and others, which causes yellowing leaf tips. Every 15-20 days, spray the leaves once with a mixed solution of 1000-fold Lesiben and 800-fold methyl thiophanate, or a clarified infusion mixed from 25-30-fold superphosphate and dry, clean plant ash, or a mixed solution of 1500-fold Anlubao and 600-fold Dexon, wetting the leaves until they drip, to eliminate the various pests and diseases that harm the leaves.
