What to do if garlic is infested with worms

In fact, there are many things to pay attention to when storing garlic. If it is not stored properly, it is particularly easy to sprout. And when we eat garlic, we must eat relatively fresh garlic. Garlic with sprouts will taste very spicy. Some people may be poisoned because of garlic sprouts. Even if it is stored for too long, garlic may get worms. So what should we do if garlic gets worms?

The small black bugs on the garlic stems may be aphids, which can be controlled by using black light, wood ash soaked in water as a spray, pepper water, etc.

Prevention and treatment methods:

It is convenient to mix wood ash (the ash left after burning hay) and water in a ratio of 1:5, and spray it on the affected plants where aphids are found. It can also supplement potassium fertilizer, killing two birds with one stone.

Taking advantage of the phototaxis of aphids, use black light. This is suitable for any occasion and can not only kill aphids, but also avoid other pests.

Take a certain amount of dried chili peppers or Sichuan peppercorns, boil them in boiling water until the water changes color, wait for the water to cool down, remove the impurities, and then spray the chili (Sichuan peppercorn) water on the affected plants. The effect is quite obvious.

To 1 gram of urea, add 1.25 grams of laundry detergent and 100 ml of water to make a solution. Use a small spray tube, but do not use it too frequently.

Use willow branches, rub them into a pulp, and tie them into bundles to attract a large number of aphids, and then kill them in a concentrated manner. Suitable for large areas with severe disasters. Because plants have certain defense capabilities, there is no need to worry about the harm caused by a small number of aphids.

Garlic growth habits:

It likes cool weather and the suitable temperature is -5-26℃. Garlic seedlings have the strongest cold resistance during the 4-5 leaf stage, and are the most suitable seedlings for overwintering.

Garlic that has completed spring flowering begins to differentiate flower buds and bulbil buds under long-day conditions of more than 13 hours and higher temperatures. In a short-day and cool environment, it is only suitable for stem and leaf growth.

Water, likes humidity and fears drought

It is not very demanding on soil, but fertile loam that is rich in organic matter, loose and breathable, and has strong water-retaining and drainage properties is more suitable.
