In spring, winter garlic and onions require nitrogen to increase green mass.
However, at this time the soil is not yet warmed up, and nitrogen fertilizers work very slowly. Therefore, it is best to use ammonium nitrate in the spring.
Ammonium nitrate works well even in cold soil, and the garlic will receive the nutrition it needs to grow properly.
Fertilizing with ammonium nitrate
Use the correct dosage to ensure that the fertilizer is as beneficial as possible for your plants.
To feed garlic, it is enough to add up to 40-50 g of saltpeter per 1 square meter.
In addition, in the spring, garlic should develop a strong root system, but due to the cold soil, phosphorus, which is responsible for its growth, is poorly absorbed.
Fertilizer with magnesium sulfate
To activate the absorption of phosphorus, you need to use magnesium sulfate. The sulfur and magnesium it contains will help plants quickly absorb nitrogen and phosphorus.
As a result, even in cold soil, garlic will develop well.
The rate of application of magnesium sulfate: 20 g per 1 square meter.
There is no need to add fertilizers to the soil. They will quickly dissolve in the moist soil and be absorbed into it, and the garlic will develop normally, grow large and juicy.
