Garlic growth process, garlic pictures

1. Bud stage

The germination period starts from when garlic is sown until the first leaves grow out and unfold. During this period, new leaves continue to grow and differentiate, and the time taken is not the same, generally about 7-30 days. The germination period is different for different varieties.

2. Seedling stage

After germination, it will enter the seedling stage as it grows. At this time, the differentiation of young leaves stops and they differentiate into flower buds. The area of ​​the leaves gradually increases, but the total number of leaves no longer increases. The root system changes from vertical growth to horizontal growth, and lateral roots underneath begin to appear. At this time, the absorption capacity of the roots in the soil gradually increases, and they can absorb sufficient nutrients from the soil.

3. Flower bud and bulb bud differentiation period

Flower buds begin to differentiate before that, and enter the differentiation period of flower buds and bulbil buds. This period is from the beginning of differentiation to the end of differentiation, and it can last for about 15-35 days in total. If the time is longer, this period can last for more than 100 days. This period is a critical period of reproduction. If the leaves differentiate late, they will age and turn yellow prematurely.

4. Garlic stalk elongation period

After differentiation is completed, the garlic stems begin to gradually elongate.

5. Bulb expansion period

The bulb underneath, which is the garlic underneath, began to gradually swell.

6. Physiological dormancy period

When the plant withers and the above-ground parts turn yellow, it enters a period of physiological dormancy.
