Being highly nutritious spice crops rich in vitamins, garlic production, quality and quantity is determined by the level of technology used. Because garlic likes good drainage, a afrmer should put good compost in the bed before planting garlic and also raise beds to keep garden warm in the winter. Garlic grows well in soils of pH 6.0-7.0 hence a farmer should test the soil before planting.

Crop management

First, separate cloves from bulb and plant only the big cloves because the bigger the cloves, the bigger the size of the bulbs yielded. Similarly, planting garlic means pushing clove into soil and so they are planted 20cm apart near top ground during winter to prevent it from rotting.
Furthermore, add fertilizer like chicken manure which is high in nitrogen for foliar growth and water the garden to spread fertilizer evenly. Finally, apply more fertilizer about 6-8 weeks after planting.
