Garlic farming is an excellent investment for farmers looking to diversify their agribusiness. With its growing demand in both local and international markets, garlic offers significant profit potential. At Onion Doctor, we provide top-quality garlic seedlings, farm management services, and agronomic support to help farmers succeed.
Benefits of Growing Garlic
Garlic is not only a key ingredient in many cuisines but also has medicinal properties, making it a high-value crop. It has a long shelf life and can be stored for months, allowing farmers to sell when prices are favorable.
Steps to Successful Garlic Farming
- Choosing the Right Variety: Selecting high-yielding and disease-resistant garlic varieties is essential. Onion Doctor supplies top-quality garlic seedlings for optimal growth.
- Soil Preparation & Fertility: Garlic requires well-drained, fertile soil with a good organic matter content. Our soil testing services help farmers prepare their land effectively.
- Proper Spacing & Planting: Maintaining the right spacing ensures good bulb development and prevents overcrowding.
- Irrigation Management: While garlic needs consistent moisture, overwatering can lead to rot. Our drip irrigation solutions provide efficient water management.
- Pest & Disease Control: Preventive measures and proper field sanitation reduce the risk of fungal infections and pests.
- Harvesting & Storage: Curing garlic properly after harvesting extends its shelf life and preserves quality.
