Haenam County (Mayor Myeong Myeong-gwan) is urging farmers to adhere to the appropriate sowing times and to thoroughly select and disinfect seed garlic in order to produce high-quality garlic. The growth, yield, and quality of garlic are greatly affected by the sowing time, so it is important to sow at the right time. For the Nanji-type garlic, which is mainly cultivated in Haenam County, the appropriate sowing period is from late September to mid-October. If sown too early, there is an increase in bolting garlic or bulb splitting, and if sown too late, there can be growth delays and damage from winter cold due to weakened winter hardiness. Along with sowing at the right time, thorough preparation in advance is also necessary. First, healthy seed garlic must be selected.
