It may be a little bit confusing to point out if garlic was modified by humans or it evolved on its own. Well, here’s the concise answer you seek; garlic achieved its current form due to human intervention about 6,000 years ago. The ancient Indians who were believed to have domesticated Allium longicuspis, are also poised to have influenced the taste and medicinal properties of garlic. Today, there are about 600 cultivated sub-varieties of garlic worldwide. There is currently no specific classification for the varieties of garlic; however, in the United States, garlic varieties are generally categorized into soft-necks and hard-necks. Where Do Garlic Come From Originally? Garlic has a history that spans over 5000 years – down to 3500–1200 BCE. This plant is believed to have originated from Central Asia, where its closest wide ancestor thrives. Garlic, with the scientific name Allium sativum, looks pretty much like Allium longicuspis, and although A. longicuspis is mostly sterile, it’s been doubted to be the true wild ancestor of modern-day garlic. The cultivated garlic cultivars do not reproduce by themselves; they are sterile and can only reproduce through propagation by hand. The sterility of cultivated garlic can be linked with its domestication process. Domesticated garlic typically has the following traits, increased bulb weight, reduced leaf length, thinner coat layer, resistance to environmental stress, and shorter growing seasons. Conclusion So, is garlic man-made? Yes, it got to achieve its current form due to human intervention. More so, over the years, humans have proceeded to breed many varieties of this plant.

Garlic has been used, both medicinally and as a food or flavoring, since the dawn of recorded history. Ancient medical texts from as far afield as Egypt, China, India, Greece, and Rome discussed the medical uses of garlic. Nutrients per Serving In food, garlic is used in small quantities and contains very few calories, fat, protein, or carbohydrates. Its health action comes from the enzymes and unique compounds that it contains. One clove of garlic contains: Calories: 4 Protein: 0 grams Fat: 0 grams Carbohydrates: 1gram Fiber: 0 gram Potential Health Benefits of Garlic: Medical research links garlic to a number of health benefits. However, some studies have suggested that raw garlic may be more effective than the cooked version, while garlic supplements are the most effective. Garlic tea retains the health benefits of raw garlic, as long as it is prepared properly: the key is boiling your crushed garlic no longer than 3 minutes. Cardiac Health: Garlic supplements, and in particular aged garlic extract, have also been shown to reduce blood pressure in people with hypertension. It appears to do so in part by preventing vasoconstriction, or narrowing of blood vessels. While garlic’s effects are comparable to standard blood-pressure drugs, it has been found that people who have inadequate levels of vitamin B may not experience this benefit.  Reduced Risk of Infections:  Garlic is widely recognized for its ability to fight bacteria, viruses, fungi, and even parasites. One study found that allicin, an active component of freshly crushed garlic, had antiviral properties and was also effective against a broad range of bacteria, including multidrug-resistant strains of E. coli. It also found that allicin had antifungal properties, including against Candida albicans, which causes yeast infections. Its anti-parasitic action helps fight major intestinal parasites, including Giardia. Other studies have also shown that allicin can help inhibit the growth of the bacteria methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Garlic has been used as a natural remedy for centuries and is widely known to have many health benefits. For women, garlic can be especially beneficial in areas such as sexual health and fertility. Garlic contains antioxidants that can help reduce oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and improve overall health. Garlic has been shown to boost libido in both men and women by helping to regulate hormones and increase blood flow to the reproductive organs. Garlic also contains compounds like allicin which may help enhance fertility by helping to balance hormones and improve egg quality. 2- Increases Fertility: Infertility in females is increasing daily because of many problems, but one of the significant causes is PCOS. These days, teenagers and adults both have to deal with it. It is polycystic ovary syndrome and an inflammatory-disorders affecting the female reproductive system. The most common signs can be disruption and ovulation delays because of cysts. PCOS can also cause other metabolic disorders such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Sometimes it gets way more challenging to treat it with medication than we think. That is why functional food is used to treat PCOS to improve infertility. As mentioned above, garlic has immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties that help to treat PCOS symptoms. PCOS cannot be fully recovered, but its worse effects and symptoms can be controlled, and overall health can be kept in check with a diet garlic is a huge part of that PCOS diet. 3- Great Antioxidant: An antioxidant is a substance that fights off harmful substances and protects the human body from rational damage. For instance, if you are about to catch an STD, garlic and its active substances will help you eliminate the potential free radicals that will further damage your body. So, if you want to keep your sexual life healthy, adding garlic to your diet will make a huge difference. You will feel healthier than ever before. 4- Improving vaginal health: Garlic is a popular choice for its recondite health benefits, especially when it comes to improving vaginal health. Garlic has practical benefits such as helping balance pH levels in the vagina and fighting infections like yeast and bacterial vaginosis. Garlic also helps reduce inflammation related to some common sexual issues. Garlic has anti-bacterial and antimicrobial properties that can help fight many pathogenic bacteria while boosting immunity. Along with making dietary changes including garlic, women should also practice daily self-care habits like washing their genitals regularly and avoiding douches or other products that can disrupt the delicate vaginal environment. Ultimately, by incorporating garlic into one’s diet and following regular hygiene practices, women may improve their vaginal health drastically!

Onions are generally considered a ‘cool season crop’ because onion seedlings like to start their life when conditions are still cool. Then as the weather warms up, they switch to focus their energy on bulb formation. If you hope to grow onions from seed, you’ll need to be prepared to get a jump start and plant seeds. After sprouting onions take three  months to reach a mature size. At Onion Doctor we offer high quality seedlings, and guidelines on how to plant from nursery to harvesting point. Don’t hesitate to reach out for our services at a competitive price. The difference between bulbing onions, green onions, scallions or spring onions Red, yellow, white, sweet… In addition to the various colors and subtle flavor differences, traditional bulbing onions can be enjoyed in a variety of ways – depending on the age they’re harvested! Before forming large bulbs, immature onions may be picked and used as green onions – also known as scallions. If you allow them to mature a little longer and form a modest (but still underdeveloped) bulb, then they’re considered spring onions! Gather up a cluster of young green onions, spring onions, or scallions, and now you have a handful of bunching onions. Note that there are also varieties of slender non-bulbing onions; a true “green onion”. Short-day, long-day, and day-neutral onions In addition to size and color, different onion varieties are further classified as either short-day, long-day, or day-neutral onions. They’re grouped by the number of daylight hours required to trigger good bulb formation. It is important to choose and grow onion varieties that are a good fit for your location! Otherwise, the onion bulbs may fail to successfully develop. Non-bulbing green onions aren’t as fussy about exact daylight hours, though all onions like plenty of sun! Should I grow onions from seed, seedlings or “sets”?  Do you want high quality seedlings, we Onion Doctor got your back! Don’t hesitate to reach to us in your journey to grow onions . There are three main ways to grow onions: from seed, seedlings, or by purchasing onion sets. Every gardener has their preference between the three! Growing onions from seed is easy, and allows you to choose the exact varieties you want to grow! Purchasing started seedlings or sets is also a great option, and will give you a quicker start than seed. Onion seedlings are like small green onions, recently started from seed (within the last couple months). In contrast, onion ‘sets’ are small, dry, immature onion bulbs that were grown from seed the previous year. They were allowed to partially develop, harvested as a tiny bulb, and kept dormant to later sell or plant as “seed” – though they’re not really seed. Because they’re on their second year of life (and onions are biennial), onion sets have the tendency to bolt more readily or result in underdeveloped bulbs. When an onion ‘bolts’, it prematurely sends up a flowering stalk and then forms seed. You can still eat around the tough center of the onion bulb, but it will decline in quality and no longer be good for long-term storage.

Onion sets are small, dry onion bulbs grown but not allowed to mature. Advantages of Growing Onions from Sets 1: Onion sets produce much earlier than seed started onions. 2: Onion sets saves time , they take about 40-60 days How to Grow Your Own Onion Sets Onion sets are tiny onions that mature in about 14 weeks. They have a higher success rate than direct-sown seeds or transplants. The onion sets look like small bulbs and are sold at gardening stores; once they mature, they develop into full-size bulbs. Choose onion sets with bulbs that are 3/4 of an inch in diameter; larger ones tend to produce stiff necks and go There’s no need to soak onion sets before planting. Plant them 10-15cm apart, allowing 30cm between rows. Plant them just below the soil surface, with just the tips showing, in moisture-retentive, fertile soil, ideally with plenty of well-rotted organic matter such as garden compost.  Keep the planting bed just moist; do not let it go dry. Let the plants grow until most of the developing bulbs are ½ to ¾ inch in diameter Cull the bulbs. Do not save sets larger than 1 inch in diameter for planting next season; large sets will likely bolt and flower quickly when replanted next season. (If you do save larger sets, they can be grown as green onions next season.) Do not save sets less than ½ inch in diameter; very small sets will likely not have enough stored energy to produce large onions next season. Cure the sets you are saving in a sunny place for about 10 days–until the tops dry. Remove the tops and store the sets in a mesh bag in a cool, dry place. Be sure to label each bag.

An important growing technique when growing garlic is weed management. Garlic plants are generally competing poorly with weeds, especially during the first developmental stages, due to the relatively thin and upright growth leaves. As a result, the plants may often suffer from weeds (if left uncontrolled), which compete with plants in terms of space, access to sunlight, water, and nutrients. The presence of weeds will have a negative impact on the yield of bulbs (up to 80% losses), as well as on the quality of the cloves. At Onion Doctor, we’ve come up with :  A complete guide on how to control Pest and Disease, Weed Management  and many programs on how to manage your seedlings from nursery to harvesting time for healthy, high-quality bulb and cloves. Don’t hesitate to reach to us for a quote. Garlic is highly vulnerable to weed infestation due to its slow emergence and slow initial growth, non-branching habit, sparse foliage, shallow root system. Weeds compete for nutrients, soil, moisture, space and light considerably reducing the yield, quality and value through increased production and harvesting costs. Garlic is closely planted crop with very small canopy. Due to smaller leaf size it cannot compete with the weeds. Their competition with the plants starts at very early growth stage because immediately after planting the cloves, the weed emergence occurs that competes with the tender seedlings. Weeds also harbor insect pests and disease-causing organisms. The losses caused by weeds have been estimated to be much higher than those caused by insect pest and diseases. Weed reduces the bulb yield to the extent of 40 to 80% . In garlic shallow root system make mechanical method of weed control difficult and sometimes causes damage to developing bulbs  Techniques include mulching, hand weeding, cover cropping, crop rotation, flame weeding, vinegar-based herbicides, and corn gluten meal. Mulching blocks sunlight and reduces weed germination, while hand weeding is simple and effective. Cover cropping prevents soil erosion and improves fertility.

Garlic has shallow roots, so if the soil at the base of the plant is dry, water the plant right away, but do not overwater. Garlic is susceptible to rot. How much water does garlic need – When should garlic be irrigated? Garlic is a relatively low-maintenance plant in that it doesn’t require excessive watering. Garlic grows its best in soil with good drainage and plenty of nutrients. A well-draining soil will prevent overwatering, which can cause your garlic buds to rot. Garlic should be watered thoroughly, but not too often. Ideally, you should water your garlic to the depth of the root, so the soil surrounding the roots becomes moist but not wet. If your water is pooling at the surface of the soil, or the soil is wet for more than a day, you’re either providing too much, or too frequent watering or your soil is not draining well. Give your garlic at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water every week. Once the leaves start to turn yellow, stop watering to prevent the bulbs from rotting or splitting. On the other hand, excess water during the bulbing stage can cause cloves to be rotten. Increased water supply and humidity, especially on foliage, may favor disease outbreaks.

In general, to have a satisfactory economic gain, a garlic crop should yield around 5 times more than the cloves needed for its planting. A garlic crop usually can yield between 3 and 6 tons of cloves per acre, but there are references with garlic yielding 13-19 tons per acre. When and how to harvest garlic Garlic bulbs are ready to be harvested around 4 to 5 months from planting. The goal is to harvest the garlic bulbs when they have obtained the maximum size , but the cloves remain strongly attached and protected by the bulbs’ skin. Usually, garlic is ready to be harvested when half of its leaves have turned yellow-brown, or the leaf tips have dried out and bent toward the ground. Garlic is harvested either by hand, with the help of digging forks, or mechanically using harvesters  How to cure-dry and store garlic after harvest Garlic is not sold or stored directly after harvesting but needs to be cured (dry out). This process can prolong the storage life and reduce the risk of infections and water loss of the garlic bulbs. Producers use several techniques for this purpose. Some traditional, small, or medium-scale growers prefer to leave the garlic on the field after harvest and take advantage of the sun’s warmth to dry them out (during summer). Other farmers transfer them to rooms with proper aeration and hang them from the ceiling.

Maturity in Onion Farming varies from different varieties .Here are some general timelines for different types of onions:  Green Onions (Scallions): Scallions are typically ready to enjoy 10 to 12 weeks after sowing, though at the height of the growing season it can be as soon as eight. Harvest the largest plants first so that those left can continue to grow. Green onions are typically harvested when they are young and tender, before they develop into mature bulbs. Short-Day Onions (Mature Bulbs): short-day onions form bulbs with a shorter period of daylight. Bulb onions take 3 to 4 months to reach maturity. Short rains are great for bulb onions since they can be harvested between January and February. Examples include:  Grano: Short-day: Known for its large bulbs and ability to store well. Resistant to many diseases and pests. A popular choice for commercial farmers looking to maximize their yields. Great for storage. Can be sold for a longer period compared to other varieties. Yellow Granex: Short-day: Known for its yellow color and ability to store well. Medium-sized bulbs with a crisp texture. Resistant to many diseases and pests. Great for pickling. A popular choice for salads and sandwiches. Intermediate-Day Onions (Mature Bulbs): Intermediate day onion varieties are the most widely adaptable since they require 12-14 hours of sunlight before beginning the bulbing process. When planted at the proper time, intermediate day onion varieties mature in approximately 100 days. Long-Day Onions (Mature Bulbs): Long-day onions require a longer period of daylight to form bulbs Examples include: Red Creole: Long-day Known for its deep red color and ability to store well. Large bulbs with a crisp texture. Resistant to many diseases and pests. Great for grilling, roasting, and sautéing. A popular choice for salads and sandwiches. Walla Walla: Long-day Known for its sweet flavor and ability to store well. Resistant to many diseases and pests. Great for salads, sandwiches, and other dishes where a sweet onion flavor is desired. Great for grilling, roasting, and sautéing. These onions can take anywhere from 110 to 160 days to reach maturity and produce large bulbs It’s important to note that onion maturity is often signaled by changes in the foliage. As onions mature, the tops (foliage) start to yellow and fall over. This is a natural part of the onion’s life cycle and indicates that the bulbs are nearing full maturity. Once the tops have fallen over, it’s a good indication that the onions are ready for harvest.
