Garlic will grow to the size of a fist: when 8 leaves appear, apply this fertilizer
In this matter, it is important not to miss the right moment.
Growing a large, juicy and shelf-stable vegetable is not easy. There are more than one or two decisive factors, but there is one secret that will help increase the chances of getting an excellent harvest.
Summer residents use fertilizer that protects garlic from adverse weather conditions. Thanks to the fertilizer, the harvest increases, and the plants themselves become more resistant to diseases and pests.
Garlic fertilizing
When the plant produces 8-10 leaves, you need to apply phosphorus-potassium fertilizer.
There are many options, so it is important to act in accordance with the instructions on the package. Strict adherence to the concentration and method of application is the key to success and a healthy harvest.
At this stage, phosphorus-potassium fertilizer is applied as follows.
1. Make 5 cm deep furrows along the rows. It is important not to touch the garlic roots.
2. Pour water into the depressions and let it soak in.
3. Only after this is fertilizer added.
With this approach, the fertilizer will go directly to the roots. Having received additional resources, the garlic will use them to form a larger underground part.
Phosphorus and potassium are important macronutrients that ensure a large harvest of garlic and other crops.
