How to choose and prepare the best seed for Garlic || Crop Reformer

Garlic (Allium sativum) is a very important condiment crop of Pakistan and almost daily used for HANDI cooking in every home. Its sowing time was considered from mid of September to mid of October during previous decades. As a result of global warming intensity of heat and its duration has been extended to the end of September. Therefore, sowing of garlic in September has become rather risky and germination may be affected during most years. However, this year frequent rainfall has not only improve the soil moisture regime but relatively early planting of garlic has also been facilitated. For this purpose, heat tolerant varieties like TRARA which is frequently cultivated in the core garlic area of Punjab (Cheecha watni, Kasso wal and Mianchannu), may be planted within the month of September. Planting of Lehasan Gulabi, NS 756 may be started during the last week of September and NARC G1 at the end of October. Department of agriculture must revisit sowing time recommendations under the changing scenario of climatic conditions. In this video, cultivation time for different areas has been discussed for the Garlic crop of 2022. #garlic #cropreformer
