Thanks to the very first feeding, the garlic remains green until harvest.
Fertilizer is applied in the spring – the earlier, the better. Ideally, gardeners advise scattering it directly on the snow when it begins to melt.
Fertilizer can be applied after the snow melts. However, it is important to do this before the shoots appear.
Ammonium sulfate contains two elements that garlic needs: nitrogen and sulfur.
With a deficiency of the second, garlic begins to poorly absorb nutrients, development slows down. The vegetable does not receive nitrogen, potassium, or magnesium.
Therefore, summer residents rely on the fact that garlic is a sulfur-loving plant.
The plant can be fed with nitrogen as much as you like, but without sulfur it will still turn yellow, since the macroelement responsible for the health of the greenery is not absorbed.
Ammonium sulfate contains 24% sulfur.
Approximately 30 g of fertilizer is applied per 1 square meter of plantings. If there is still snow, then nothing needs to be done. If the soil has already been cleared of snow, then the fertilizer needs to be slightly worked into the ground.
