Any gardener periodically inspects the beds with garlic in order to promptly identify the problem of yellowing and dry feathers, if necessary.
First of all, almost everyone suspects nitrogen deficiency.
However, the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises not to rush to conclusions: the reasons may be different.
What could be the cause of yellowing feathers?
Temperature changes
Such feather transformations can be influenced by both unexpected frosts and sudden heat. Garlic is able to quickly react to such "surprises" from the weather.
Potassium
As it turns out, yellowness can also indicate an insufficient amount of potassium in the garlic's "diet". However, the color changes are specific: as a rule, only the top turns yellow.
In this case, you can apply any potassium fertilizer.
Phosphorus
This element is also extremely important for the development of the crop. Garlic always reacts to a lack of phosphorus. As a rule, the feathers can even darken and become covered with special spots.
It is recommended to pay attention to monophosphate: use it according to the instructions.
