The Growth And Development Cycle Of Garlic

The growth cycle of garlic varies greatly depending on the sowing date. The growth period of garlic sown in spring is relatively short, usually between 90 and 110 days; Garlic sown in autumn usually has a growth period of 220-280 days due to the need for a certain number of days of low-temperature vernalization. Garlic generally uses bulbs as reproductive materials, and its growth process can be divided into six stages: germination, seedling, differentiation of bulb and flower buds, elongation of flower stems, bulb enlargement, and dormancy. In addition, when propagating with aerial bulbs, there is also an aerial bulb that expands and grows for a long time after the underground bulbs mature.
