Garlic

---

  

Garlic responds best to a banded pre-plant application of AGGRAND fertilizers, with regular subsequent applications at the two critical stages of growth: emergence and just prior to bulbing. Once bulbing has begun additional fertilizer has no significant effect. AGGRAND Natural Liquid Lime can be amended to the final application when conditions call for extra calcium.

Banded Applications

Per-acre mix ratio:

2 gallons AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer, 2 gallons AGGRAND Liquid Bonemeal, 1 gallon AGGRAND Kelp and Sulfate of Potash and 20 gallons of water. Apply in a band near the row prior to planting in the fall.

Soil Applications

Per-acre mix ratio:

2 gallons AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer and 50 gallons of water. Apply at emergence.

2 gallons AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer, 1 gallon AGGRAND Kelp and Sulfate of Potash, 1 gallon AGGRAND Liquid Lime and 100 gallons of water. Apply just prior to bulbing.

Rates vary according to soil fertility and other inputs used. Higher dilution rates are more effective than lower dilution rates. Two or three lighter applications may be more effective than one heavy application.

To reduce susceptibility to attack of insects and disease-causing organisms, apply a per-acre mixture of 1 gallon AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer or 1 quart AGGRAND Kelp and Sulfate of Potash and 20 gallons of water when signs of infestation become apparent.
