Suitable climate for Garlic Cultivation

26/09/2019

Suitable climate for Garlic Cultivation:

Garlic is grown under wide range of climate condition.
However, if cannot withstand too hot and cool temperature it requires cool and moist climate during vegetative growth and bulb development stages but warm dry weather during maturity.
In general, cool growing period result in higher yield than warm condition.
Exposure of young plant to 20°C or lower temperature for 1-2 months depending upon the variety hastens subsequent bulbing plant that are not exposed to such climate condition may fail to produce bulb or produce smaller bulbs.
However, longer exposure to low temperature may produce bulb in the axis of the leaves which reduce the bulb yield the critical day length for or bulbing is 10-12 hours for short day garlic and 13-14 hours for long day garlic.

Sowing time, Planting and Seed Rate of Garlic

22/09/2018

Sowing time, Planting and Seed Rate of Garlic:-

Cloves are sown in september-November in central India.
Selection of cloves is important for garlic planting.
Individual cloves from seed garlic bulbs should be separated but not long before planting.
Twist off the outer skins and take the cloves apart without breaking the basal plate of the cloves, as that makes them unusable for planting.
With hardneck garlic, the remainder of the stem acts as a handy lever for separating the cloves.
Big cloves (>1.5g) should be selected for planting. Small, diseased and damaged cloves should be rejected.
Seed rate for garlic is 400-500 kg/ha.
Selected cloves should be planted vertically 2 cm below soil surface with plant to plant spacing of 10 cm and row to row spacing of 15 cm.

Stem and bulb nematode in Onion and Garlic

06/01/2018

Stem and bulb nematode in Onion and Garlic:- Nematode enters through stoma or plant wounds and create galls or malformations in plant growth. This allows for the entrance of secondary pathogens like fungi and bacteria. Symptoms are stunted growth, discoloration of bulbs, and swollen stems.

Management:-

Bulbs that show signs of disease should not be planted.
Proper sanitation of fields and tools is essential because this nematode can survive and reproduce in infected plants and residues.
Apply Carbofuron 3% Granular @ 10 kg/ acre in soil for better control of Nematodes.
Apply Neem Cake @ 200 Kg/ Acre in soil for organic control of Nematodes.

Factors Affecting storage of Onion and Garlic

20/12/2017

Factors Affecting Storage of Onion and Garlic :-

Selection of Varieties:- The storage capacity of all varieties is not uniform. The varieties of onion produced in kharif are not sustainable. In the Rabi season varieties of onion are usually stored for 4-5 months.It can be less or more according to the variety.Experiences of the last 10-15 years show that N-2-4-2, Agrifound Light Red, Arka Niketan etc. varieties can be stored well for 4-5 months. Garlic Variety G-1, G-2, G 50 and G-323 etc. can be stored for 6 to 8 months.

Fertilizer and Water Management:- The quantity and type of fertilizer and water management effects on the storage of garlic and Onion. Apply FYM increase storage capacity. Therefore it is necessary to use more quantity of FYM or green manure. Recommended dose of Nitrogen @ 150 Kg, Phosphorus @ 50 Kg and Potash @ 50 Kg per hectare for Onion and Garlic Cultivation. If possible, all nitrogen dose should be given through organic fertilizers and should be given before 60 days after transplantation. By giving late nitrogen, the stems (neck) of the plants become thick and the onion does not store and there is more outbreaks of fungal diseases, as well as sprouting. Potassium amount 50 Kg raised from 80 kg Per hectare should be given. For the use of ammonium sulphate, single super phosphate or potassium sulphate, the plants get adequate quantity of sulfur after transplantation.

Atmosphere of storage room:- Temperatures and relative humidity are important factors for the storage of onions and garlic for longer periods. More humidity (more than 70%) is the biggest enemy of onion storage.This increases the wrath of the fungus and the onion starts rotting. And when the humidity is low (more than 65%), the transpiration of onion is high and the weight decreases more.For good storage, the storage houses are 25-30 °C and humidity should be between 65-70 percent. In the months of May-June, due to high temperature and reduced humidity of the warehouses, weight loss is high. Moisture is more than 70 percent from July to September. This increases the rot. At the same time, in the October-November low temperature, the problem of sprouting increases.
