One of the most important garlic dressings takes place in June. At this stage, the culture can be fertilized with both mineral and organic compounds.

Fertilizer overview

You can feed garlic in June with various preparations - both ready-made mineral complexes and organic mixtures created on your own.

Mineral

The culture needs to receive nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which means that the finished mineral fertilizers must necessarily contain them. So, to increase the head of garlic and for good plant growth, "Fasco", nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in which they are present in a ratio of 8: 8: 12, or "Fasco complex prolonged", also containing magnesium and calcium, are suitable. Quite often in the summer, Agros is used, in addition to the main components, containing iron, magnesium and boron, Agricola and Fertika. The finished mixture is diluted in water in accordance with the instructions, and then used for watering at the root.

For garlic in summer, you can also use individual minerals: superphosphate, potassium sulfate, potassium sulfate and others. For example, in a bucket of warm water, you can dilute a couple of tablespoons of superphosphate or a tablespoon of double superphosphate. An option is also suitable with 1 tablespoon of potassium sulfate, enriched with potassium humate, as well as the same amount of potassium sulfate. During watering, 1 liter of the prepared solution is used for each plant.

To accelerate the growth of the culture, you can turn to nitrogen-containing dressings: urea or ammonium nitrate. For use, a tablespoon of one of the preparations is diluted with 10 liters of water and used for root watering.

This must be done in such a way that there is about a bucket for every square meter. The procedure is completed by irrigation with clean water so that the nutrients go to the roots.

Organic

Organics on the beds with garlic are usually introduced in the spring, when the crop especially requires nitrogen. Alternatively, plant humus is suitable, an alternative to which is rotted manure. In the first case, heaps are formed from the remains of plants, peelings of vegetables, tops of root crops and mowed weeds, after which they are spilled with water, liquid food waste or the preparation "Baikal". The workpiece is covered with a black film to speed up the processes taking place inside. Once the compost is black, homogeneous and pleasantly scented, it can be spread over the beds.

The mullein is prepared in a more complex way. To achieve the required state, he will need to lie in the heap for at least 3 years. We can say that both of the above fertilizers are used in the role of mulch: they are scattered into the aisles, forming a layer 3-5 centimeters high. Over time, under the influence of water, the substance will begin to dissolve and provide the culture with the necessary nutrition. However, it will be possible to bring the mullein to the state of liquid feeding by combining 1 kilogram of the substance and a bucket of warm water, and then withstand a day.

In order for the concentrate to be suitable for irrigation, it will need to be diluted with clean water in a 1: 5 ratio.

Another active organic fertilizer is chicken manure. A kilogram of the substance is diluted with 10 liters of water, after which it is infused for several days. Before use, the resulting mixture will need to be diluted with clean water in a 1: 9 ratio.Suitable for culture and herbal infusion, rich in nitrogen. To create it, fresh herbs are finely chopped, and then used to fill a third of a suitable container.

All residues can be used, including weeds, tops and especially young nettles. The container with the green mass is filled to the top with warm water, after which it is left for fermentation, which lasts about a week. From time to time, the mass will need to be mixed, and also supplemented with valerian tincture or "Baikal", a liter of which is poured into 100 liters of infusion. Before use, the finished product is diluted with clean water in a ratio of 1: 7.

What folk remedies are used?

Of course, folk recipes are suitable for garlic, as for any other culture.

Ash

A good June top dressing is wood ash - a substance that can harm neither the environment nor, in case of an overdose, the crop itself. The introduction of such a fertilizer enriches the soil with potassium, phosphorus and some trace elements, promotes the formation of large heads and reduces the acidity of the soil. It should be mentioned that only ash obtained from burning wood, hay and straw is suitable for garlic, but it is not recommended to use thermal processing products of plastic or newspapers due to the presence of heavy metals. The easiest way is to sprinkle the powder on the beds, dusting the leaves and embedding in the soil. There should be about a glass for every square meter. This is done in cases where the earth has high humidity.

Ash infusion can be an alternative. For its preparation, two glasses of ash are poured with 8 liters of water heated to 40-45 degrees. Further, the fertilizer is infused for about two days and must be filtered. Before watering, the existing amount of concentrated liquid will need to be diluted with plain water so that the total amount of fertilizing is 12 liters.

It is necessary to water the garlic in such a way that about 0.5 liters of infusion is needed for each instance, and water must be poured at the root.

Yeast

Nutritional yeast is an inexpensive but very effective remedy. The result of its application is an increase in the size of the garlic heads. To get top dressing, you need to dilute 2 tablespoons of granulated baking product in a bucket of heated water. The substance should be infused for about 12 hours, and during this time it should be stirred periodically. With the resulting infusion, the culture is watered once at the moment when its head begins to form.

By the way, in this recipe, instead of yeast, you can use a kilogram of crackers. Some gardeners also recommend using a 100-gram briquette of live yeast, which dissolves in a bucket of warm water and is infused for only 2 hours. To enhance fermentation, the infusion is enriched with a couple of tablespoons of granulated sugar. Before watering, the concentrate is diluted with clean water in a ratio of 1 to 5. Since the use of fermented yeast leads to an increase in the consumption of calcium and potassium, yeast dressings should be combined with ash ones. In principle, 200 grams of ash can simply be poured into 10 liters of the finished yeast preparation. Such feeding can be arranged no more than three times a season.

Ammonia

Ammonia-saturated ammonia not only "supplies" the plant with a sufficient amount of nitrogen, but also strengthens its immunity. Fertilizer is formed by mixing 10 liters of water and 40 grams of ammonia and used to spray the crop. I must say that foliar dressing is customary to choose in cases where garlic needs urgent help, since an aqueous solution has the ability to quickly penetrate into plant cells. The concentration of such a liquid should be two times weaker than in the case of watering at the root.

For garlic, a solution prepared from a bucket of water and a couple of tablespoons of ammonia is also suitable. The liquid must be used immediately after mixing, otherwise its efficiency will be reduced to almost zero. The finished top dressing is used to irrigate the beds, after which they are thoroughly watered with clean water so that the ammonia deepens by 20-25 centimeters. Such processing can be carried out every week while the growing season continues.

Some gardeners also use salt in their garlic care. The nutritional composition is prepared from 3 tablespoons of snow-white grains and 10 liters of pure water, after which it is used to irrigate the crop.

This procedure avoids yellowing and drying of feathers, and also protects against attacks from common pests.

The nuances of feeding different types of garlic

It is believed that it is possible to properly feed garlic if you consider whether it is winter or spring.

Winter

Winter crops, that is, winter crops should receive fertilizers from mid-June and throughout the second half of it. If this is done ahead of time, then the culture will direct all efforts to building up shoots, as a result of which the head will suffer. Too late June top dressing is also not considered acceptable, because the bushes by this time have already withered away, and you cannot revive them with any fertilizers. Since potassium and phosphorus are required for the formation of heads, superphosphate should become the basis of such feeding. Winter garlic will benefit from a mixture of 2 tablespoons of superphosphate and 10 liters of warm water. Each square meter of planting will need to be shed with 4-5 liters of solution.

A recipe that involves mixing one and a half liters of superphosphate, 200 grams of sifted wood ash and 10 liters of heated water is also suitable. For each square meter of garlic beds, 5 liters of the drug will be required.

Spring

Spring, aka summer, garlic is usually fertilized later - at the end of June or even at the beginning of July - depending on weather conditions. Processing is possible only after removing the flower arrows, when the culture begins to actively form heads. Fertilization is accompanied by crop irrigation. The nutrient solution is prepared from 30 grams of superphosphate, 15 grams of potassium sulfate and 10 liters of water, and only 2 liters of mixture is required for each square meter of planting. An alternative to this recipe is to mix 30 grams of superphosphate, 15 grams of potassium sulfate and 10 liters of water.

Useful Tips

The compositions required for the nutrition of garlic are kneaded immediately before processing the plantings, since they are not allowed to be stored. Adherence to the dosage is extremely important, especially when it comes to mineral components.

Before fertilizing, the culture must be irrigated with clean water to avoid scalds on the root shoots.
