Garlic G1 production plan.
Importance:
Garlic is an important spice vegetable Which is successfully cultivated in every part of Pakistan. Generally, every farmer bring his small piece of land under Galic cultivating.Scientists have discovered that garlic is useful for the treatment of heart diseases and blood pressure Therefore, its use is likely to increase further.
Climatic suitability:
Garlic cultivation requires colder and shorter days at the time of sowing and warmer climates when harvest.
Land preparation and suitable land for G1 Garlic Variety:
Garlic cultivation requires fertile and lomy soil. In hard soil, cloves are not made properly and if the land is dry at the time of harvesting than may cloves breaking occur due to that crop worth lies down, and so is the sandy soil also not suitable for its cultivation Because thus soil does not retain moisture. There is a dearth of organic matter in Pakistani lands Therefore, before cultivation of garlic, there is a dire need to fulfill the soil organic matter deficiency, So to meet this deficiency, it is necessary to use Farm yard manure on 20 to 25 tonnes per acre a month before planting garlic.After pouring FYM, apply water to the ground and use half a bag of urea fertilizer in it and run a rotavator in the ground at watr condition.
Seed rate and sowing time:
An acre of garlic requires 800 kg or 20 mond of seed per acre and the first 15 days of October are ideal for planting it.
Sowing mathod :
Make the ridges into the prepared soil and put cloves on both side of each ridges at a distance of three to four inches. There are also garlic machines available in Pakistan for modern cultivation of garlic it's called garlic planter.
Uses of fertilizers:
The use of chemical fertilizers is also essential for the good production of garlic, Do a soil analysis first to determine the quantity of fertilizers for Garlic crop.However, to grow garlic in average fertile soil , put two bags of DAP and two bags of urea and one bag of potash per acre. Phosphorus fertilizer and half dose of potash should be applied at the time of sowing and remaining half dose of potash at the mid life two moth after sown of garlic. In addition to these fertilizers Micronutrients are also needed, In Micronutrients require six liters of zinc per acre and two kilograms of sulfur per acre and in addition a liter boron is also required. Spraying a liter of Amino acid can have a huge impact on garlic growth. NPK can also be used as a tank in foliar spray.
Disposal of weeds:
In order to obtain a good yield of garlic, weeds are essential to remove at the proper time.Use proper weedicide for removel of weeds by consult of Agricultural experts. Weeds can also be disposed of by hoeing, For this, hoeing is required two to three times. when the crop develop full cloves than, it should be avoided hoeing.
Irrigation:
Sow garlic in dry soil and water it immediately after planting. Then apply water weekly, while in the months of December and January, at intervals of 14 days. when the crop is in final stages, apply water on dire need. The management of rainwater drainage is also very important, Because the plants of this crop cannot tolerate large quantities of water. Excess water makes up for rottening of the crop.
Harvesting time and care during storage:
Garlic is usually harvested in April. When the leaves are dry and brown, understand that the crop is ready and stop watering.Harvesting the crop with the help of shrimp in a watr condition.Spread the garlic evenly in a shade or in a well-ventilated room for seven to eight days to dry and when the peels from the top of cloved to separate easily than tie the bundles of cloves with poles and store them in a dry and airy place. This way garlic can be stored for long periods of time.
Diseases of Garlic: 1.White blight of top leaves of Garlic.
2. Rot of leaves and stem
3.Garlic rust
Timely control of garlic diseases is very important. Diseases can be greatly reduced the prouction if timely control measures is not taken. So after consulting with an agricultural expert to timely control garlic diseases with the use of best fungicide.
Harmful insects of garlic:
Garlic crops are attacked by just one insect, this insect is thirps which suck cell sap from garlic leaves due to this crop become weak.Because the leaves of any crop are its food factory Therefore, when the leaves become weak, there will be a significant reduction in crop yields. Therefore, when the insect is attacked, it is advisable to take immediate action in consultation with an agricultural expert.

Potential for garlic G1 production:
The production of garlic G1 varieties can be estimated from this That it yields ten times more than the seed we put into it. Twenty monds seed required for one acre so it's its production is 200 monds per acre and now the G1 garlic in the market Sale from Rs. 400 to Rs. 450.In this regard, the price of one monds garlic varies from Rs. 16,000 to 18000 rupees.
