In mid-June, garlic heads begin to form and the overall mass increases. Therefore, the plant needs additional feeding to ensure that the harvest is large and of high quality.
As experienced gardeners note, fertilizers should be applied from the middle to the end of the month.
As soon as they curl slightly into a ring, they should be immediately torn off, and after a couple of days you can safely apply fertilizer.
How to feed garlic
During this period, the crop needs phosphorus-potassium fertilizing. These components are responsible for the size of the fruits and their preservation.
To prepare for 10 liters of water, take 20 grams of magnesium sulfate, superphosphate and potassium sulfate. Between the rows, make small furrows and pour the solution there (1 liter of the product per 1 linear meter). After that, fill the furrow.
If you want to protect your plantings from diseases, you can spray the leaves with phytosporin between fertilizing (2-3 teaspoons per 10 liters of water).
