When will the young garlic shoots be picked?

Young garlic shoots can be picked in early May.

Tips for choosing garlic moss

First, the most suitable picking time is: pull out the garlic shoots and bend the "bamboo shoots" nearly once. Premature picking will lead to low yield of garlic shoots, because insufficient extraction of garlic shoots will lead to "residual bamboo shoots" after picking. Picking too late will not only affect the freshness and tenderness of garlic shoots because they are too old, but also because the leaves of garlic shoots are nearly aging after picking, and less energy is transferred to the growth of underground garlic shoots; And affect the output of garlic.

Second, after the sun sets, cloudy and sunny days are the best picking weather. Picking garlic bolts will leave a "wound" on the stems and leaves of garlic. If picked in bright sunshine, the life span of leaves will be shortened, and the growth of young garlic shoots will be affected, because of the large transpiration and excessive water loss. Picking in rainy days should pay attention to stepping on garlic chops as little as possible to prevent soil hardening.

Third, the best picking method is: sew clothes or sacks from the parts where garlic shoots are to be picked with a "big needle", cut them vertically from bottom to top, and then cut off garlic shoots to extract garlic shoots. Leave all the leaves for garlic stalks to grow, and don't pinch garlic stalks and garlic leaves together.

4. Fertilize in time after picking 1 time. Garlic after bolting is weak, so it should be supplemented with nutrition in time. Generally, decomposed human and animal manure 1000 kg-1500 kg, or 100~ 150 g potassium dihydrogen phosphate and 0.5 kg-1 kg urea are applied for foliar topdressing every 667 square meters.
