Garlic is a fairly unpretentious crop. But if you want to increase the quantity and improve the quality of the harvest, you should carry out several important treatments in the first summer month.
Especially during this period, garlic needs phosphorus, potassium and magnesium.
You can use fresh ash. To do this, pour 9 liters of boiling water over a liter of ash. After 3 days, the infusion can be used, but it should be filtered first. You can also add 150 ml of vinegar.
It is possible to replace it with mineral fertilizers. For this, you should take Kalimag or monophosphate. Only 30 grams of the preparation will be needed for a 10-liter bucket of water.
Before applying root fertilizer, the beds must be moistened.
It is also necessary to spray with sodium humate. This agent will help to store the harvest for a long time.
In addition, when growing crops, it is necessary to take into account that in June the risk of developing downy mildew for garlic and onions increases sharply.
The first sign is yellow leaves. The situation can be saved with a solution of "Fitosporin M". The treatment can be carried out every 2 weeks. The procedures should be stopped 14 days before harvesting.
