Garlic, like any other crop, needs properly selected and applied top dressing. There are many ways to properly fertilize a given crop. In this article, we will consider what and how you can effectively feed garlic plantings in July.

Fertilizer overview

To fertilize the garlic planted in the garden, you can use various types of dressings. We are talking about both mineral and organic compounds. Both the first and the second can demonstrate high efficiency. Let us consider in more detail which fertilizers of the listed types will be the most useful and effective if applied in July.

Mineral

In July, garlic can be fed high-quality mineral compositions... It is in the middle of the summer season that the terrestrial part of this culture stops growing. At this moment, there is an active development of the underground organs of plants.

This is the bulb in which the accumulation of nutrients occurs.

In July, garlic plantings need fertilizers that contain sufficient amounts of phosphorus and potassium. These substances can positively affect the growth process of garlic heads, as well as their ripening.

Spring garlic that is planted in spring is allowed to be fed throughout July. Winter vegetables, which are planted in autumn, ripen much less, therefore their final feeding must be done in the last days of the first summer month or at the very beginning of the second.

The best mineral fertilizers are represented by popular formulations.

  • Potassium monophosphate. 20-25 g per square meter will be enough. m. During the ripening of the head of garlic, potassium-phosphorus fertilizers are very necessary. These blends are ideal for adding between late July and mid August.
  • Potassium sulfate, or potassium magnesium... 13-15 g is enough, as well as superphosphate - 20-25 g per 1 sq. m. These compositions are used in a single combination.

The granules must first be diluted in water.

You can safely water the garlic beds with the finished solution. In most cases, mineral fertilizers are dissolved in water, and then applied in liquid form.

Organic

The main thing is to strictly adhere to the permitted dosages.

Summer residents, who adhere more to organic fertilizing, most often use standard fertilizers.

  • Humus... Overripe manure can also be a highly effective fertilizer for summer garlic. It is very important to dilute humus correctly. Enough 1 bucket per 1 sq. m. It is necessary to take into account the fact that garlic plantings are allowed to be fertilized with extremely well-rotted manure, and by no means fresh.
  • Humic fertilizers. Such dressings are applied only strictly according to the instructions. With the onset of July, it is allowed to feed garlic with humic compounds, which have a positive effect on the growth and productivity of crops.

It is generally accepted that organic fertilizers are much more fully and better absorbed by plants.Such compositions prevent the formation of nitrate compounds without oxidizing the soil.

A winning solution for feeding garlic plantings is herbal tinctures. Weed and cut grass, vegetable tops and other plant residues can be collected in a large tank. It is enough to fill the container 2/3 full. Then you need to pour warm water there and leave to infuse for 2-3 weeks, closing the lid. Before use, the finished composition will definitely need to be diluted with 10 parts of water.

Features of the introduction

  • You should not fertilize the crop much ahead of time. If you do not heed this rule, then all the forces of the plant will go to the formation of an arrow, as well as greenery, but certainly not a bulb.
  • Top dressing can be applied in different ways... There are 2 main ways to add them - root and foliar. If the root method is used, then the nutrient composition must be poured under the roots of the plant or between the beds.
  • If fertilizing is applied by the foliar method, then it is done spraying over the foliage with the selected composition, diluted at half concentration.
  • Foliar feeding allows you to quickly replenish the existing deficiency of nutrients by getting on the leaf plates. Important nutrients are absorbed much more intensively by garlic through the ground green part than through the roots.

  • If the moment has come when the green some of the plants have already stopped growing, then the use of nitrogen fertilizers will be meaningless. Now it is best to use a phosphorus-potassium mixture.
  • Some summer residents are interested in whether it is necessary to fertilize the winter type of garlic. In fact, both spring and winter crops require feeding. The latter additional fertilization is needed with the onset of the autumn season.
  • Mullein can also be used as an effective fertilizer for garlic plantings. As in the case of rotted manure, it is prohibited to use it in its pure form. It should only be used in solution. For example, it can be 2 liters of mullein combined with 10 liters of water.
