Features of planting garlic
The quality of the grown garlic depends on many factors:
- Dates of landing. It is advisable to plant garlic 1-1.5 months before severe frosts. For each region, the landing time is determined individually. In the middle lane, winter garlic is planted starting in September and ending in mid-October.
- Temperature. The optimal conditions for planting develop when the soil warms up to + 12 ... + 13 ° С.
- Soil quality. Garlic is responsive to fertile soils. Prefers sandy loamy soil or light loam.
- Predecessors. Winter garlic grows well after strawberries, strawberries, potatoes and tomatoes. It is not recommended to plant after carrots, onions, lettuce, celery, radishes, spinach, turnips, herbs - cilantro, mint, coriander, basil.
- Lighting. Garlic loves the sun, so it is planted in open, well-lit places.
Why is it important to plant winter garlic on time:
- If you plant garlic too soon, it will sprout, which will freeze during the first frost.
- If you tighten with planting, planting material does not have time to really take root. And even if they successfully winter, in the spring they will not grow actively enough.
Site preparation
A plot for planting garlic is prepared 2-3 weeks before planting - so that the dug up soil has settled. Garlic, planted in too loose soil, grows small and is not stored for long.
To increase the productivity of Dobrynya, during digging, the soil is enriched with rotted manure or compost. In depleted soils you can also make:
- superphosphate - 30-50 g per 1 square. m;
- potassium - 15-20 g per 1 square. m;
- complex fertilizers.
You can’t fertilize the soil with fresh manure before planting garlic - only rotted.
Garlic does not like heavy soils, and to make them more airy, they add peat or sand. Not being particularly moody, Dobrynya does not like dry, depleted soils.
Preparing planting material
Preparation of planting material begins with an inspection - if a lot of garlic prepared for planting has a large percentage of spoiled cloves, it is rejected. On teeth there should be no signs of rot and stains. The largest heads are selected for landing. Shortly before disembarkation, the heads are dismantled into cloves, if there are a lot of them, then the largest ones are selected.
Do not take on landing heads with 3-4 cloves - this is a sign of degeneration of the variety.
So that the heads grow large, do not hurt or rot during storage, they are treated with disinfecting solutions before planting. For this purpose, usually use:
- Weak solution of potassium permanganate. The color of the liquid should be slightly pink. Planting material is immersed in a solution for 0.5-1 hours.
- A solution of copper sulfate 1%. The teeth are soaked for 10 hours. If you soak the cloves at night, in the morning they will be ready for planting.
- Salt solution. 3 tablespoons of salt are dissolved in water (5 l). Immerse the cloves for 2-3 minutes.
- Ash solution. For 1 liter of water - a glass of ash. Soak the seed for 1 hour.
- Purchased drugs:
- "Maxim". It acts like an antibiotic, but the composition is natural. For 1 liter of water - one ampoule. The effect is enough for the entire growing season.
- "Fitolavin." Protects against bacterial infections, root rot, fungal diseases.
Planting garlic in the ground
Garlic is planted in rows, between which leave spaces of 20-25 cm. The seed is planted with an interval of 12-15 cm. The depth of planting should be such that the garlic wintered safely. To do this, put the cloves into the ground so that a layer of soil of 4-5 cm is above them.
When planting, you can’t press hard on the cloves - if they are strongly pressed to the soil, this will inhibit the development of the root system.
Garlics plant bottom to bottom. Sprinkle on top of the soil. Watering the autumn planting is not necessary. In regions with especially cold winters, another event is mandatory - mulching. After planting, the beds are sprinkled with mulch - sawdust, straw, plant residues are suitable.
Caring for Dobrynia
Garlic care Dobrynya consists of the usual activities for this culture:
- Watering. The irrigation is moderate. Frequency of watering - 2 times a week. Do not overmoisten the soil.
- Loosening. Prevents drying of the topsoil and formation of a hard crust. Loosen the soil about an hour after watering.
- Weed removal. Weeding is carried out as necessary until the harvest. If weed vegetation is not removed on time, garlic does not grow well, its heads become smaller.
- Top dressing. It is introduced when garlic is actively growing. They stop feeding the crop when the ripening period begins - so that the quality and taste characteristics do not deteriorate.
- First feeding - 10 g of ammonium nitrate per 1 square. m
- Second feeding - carried out with an interval of 2-3 weeks. The beds are watered with a solution of nitroammophoski - they take 40 g per 10 l.
- Third feeding - It is carried out approximately in the middle of July. Watered with a solution of superphosphate - 40 g per 10 liters.
Diseases, pests and their control
The variety Dobrynya has high immunity, therefore it is rarely affected by fungal and viral diseases. To get large yields, preventative measures are enough.
Symptoms and methods of controlling pests and diseases of garlic Dobrynya
Pests and diseases | Symptoms of lesion | How to fight? |
Stem nematode | The leaves of garlic dry, the roots rot. The pest is a small white worm 1.5 mm long. | Plant a calendula between rows. Before planting garlic, water the soil with a solution of salt (3 g - 20 g). Add peat or sand to clay soils. |
Root tick | Most often affects the heads in storage, but can eat the heads on the bed. | Get healthy planting material. Burn plant debris. Treat the store with sulfur dioxide. |
Onion fly | Lays eggs at the base of the leaves. Larvae eat out the head and young scales. The plant first slowly grows, then dries and dies. | Plant carrots nearby. Onions are an undesirable precursor. Sprinkle the soil with a mixture of ash and tobacco, with the addition of mustard or pepper. Pour with salt solution - take 10 g of salt per 10 l. |
Fusarium | It occurs against the background of excessive moisture. Accompanied by yellowing and wilting of leaves. The heads acquire friability, slime, easily break out of the ground. | Compliance with crop rotation. Soil treatment with fungicides 2 weeks before planting. At the first sign of illness - spraying plantings with fungicides. Thoroughly dry the heads before storing. You can not plant onion in one area for more than 5 years. |
White rot | Appears during storage. The teeth become soft and rot. | Cleaning the beds from plant debris. Disinfection of the soil before planting garlic - means "Hom". During the growing season, watering with a solution of Fitosporin-M. |
Breeding methods
Garlic Dobrynya propagated vegetatively - with cloves. The teeth are taken from the largest heads - so that the crop is larger. Over time, the variety degenerates, losing its original quality. To save the varietal characteristics, an update is necessary - instead of cloves, air onions are planted. They grow on the arrows, in inflorescences.
It is recommended to renew garlic plantings using onions once every 3-4 years. Aerial onions are harvested from garlic shooters in spring, during shooting. Next year, single-tooth heads grow from onions. They are planted in the fall, and full heads already grow out of them.
Harvesting and storage
Harvesting begins in the month of July - the timing differs in different regions. Gardeners focus not only on terms, but also on the appearance of garlic. If the tops turned yellow and began to lean towards the ground - it's time to harvest. You cannot be late with cleaning. If the heads are overripe, they will decay into cloves, separating from the stem - harvesting will be difficult.
The best weather for cleaning is dry, sunny. Torn / dug garlic is laid out for drying - in the open. If the weather is cloudy - it is better to harvest under a canopy. When the leaves dry, they are cut off, leaving a couple of centimeters. The roots are also cut off.
Conditions for long-term storage:
- dry, well-ventilated room;
- temperature - from 0 to +4 ° С;
- garlic is laid out in nets or small boxes.
Heads are stored for about 4 months. During this time, the heads do not deteriorate at all - if the crop is stored for storage without damage and disease. At 5-6 months, the heads gradually begin to deteriorate - approximately 20% have to be rejected. So that garlic does not disappear, it is processed or consumed on time.
Reviews of gardeners
Gardeners differently evaluated the Dobrynya variety - there are both laudatory reviews and sharply negative ones. Consider that often the gardener himself is to blame for the failures of cultivation, violating the agricultural technology of cultivation.
Maria P., Kaluga Region I did not like this variety at all. It is harvested, I don’t argue, and it tastes good, but it is stored poorly. By the spring, for the three years that I had grown Dobrynya, there was never any garlic left - it was spoiled. But if you use a variety for harvesting, then it is ideal.
Evgenia V., Vladimir region I liked the Dobrynya variety with its moderate garlic taste - I do not like too sharp and burning garlic. There is only one problem - keeping quality. You can’t count on more than 4 months of storage. The rest of the variety is ideal - fruitful, tasty, not sick, easy to care for.
