For the cultivation of garlic, loose soil with good drainage, which has a high amount of organic carbon and whose pH level is 6-7 is considered ideal. Highly acidic and heavy soil is not suitable for this crop. The optimum time for sowing garlic is from September to October.
To prepare the field, after harvesting the previous crop, do one ploughing in the field with the help of a soil-turning plough and 2-3 ploughing with the help of a harrow. If there is less moisture in the soil then first do plowing, then prepare the field and finally make the field level by leveling it. Keep the distance between plant-to-plant and row-to-row 10 to 15 centimetres. Keep the seed rate at the rate of 5-6 quintals/hectare.
