What can be planted after garlic?

On any garden plot you can find several beds of garlic. When the crop is harvested, a free site is formed for planting new vegetables.But in accordance with the recommendations on crop rotation, not all vegetable crops are suitable for planting on the land where garlic has previously grown. Observance of such minimal knowledge helps to obtain a bountiful and healthy harvest at the end of the season, giving plants the necessary protection against parasites and harmful microorganisms that lay larvae in the soil.

An experienced gardener knows that planting a single vegetable crop at the same place adversely affects the soil, which inevitably leads to depletion of the crop.

Each vegetable has its own requirements for the planting site. As for garlic, being a rather demanding plant, it reluctantly grows and develops after some vegetable crops. By analogy, not all plants adapt well to the soil left after harvesting garlic. Let us consider in more detail the features of this crop, the main provisions of the alternation of the planting of vegetables, as well as which crops can be planted after garlic, and which are strongly discouraged.

Garlic is a much more demanding crop than onions. For a bountiful harvest, garlic must be planted in a cultivated, loose, light soil with lots of nutrients. It is also worth noting that this plant is very sensitive to variations in the level of acidity in the soil. The plant is frost-resistant, drought-resistant, needs good lighting and regular moisture production.

The role of garlic plays a significant role. It is advisable to take it into account when choosing a vegetable crop for planting on a former bed of garlic. This is due to differences in agricultural technology of vegetable crops, subsequently grown on the same plot. For example, if one season in the bed grew winter garlic, the soil is saturated with nitrogen fertilizer. When planting a spring variety, it will be necessary to subject the soil to fertilizer with phosphate and potash additives.

Garlic is a storehouse of vitamins, phytoncides and an excellent seasoning for any dish. Most gardeners agree that it is undesirable to plant such a plant on the same bed for three years in a row. Otherwise, the ground will be affected by stem nematodes. This is one of the most dangerous types of worms for vegetables grown, which parasitize the entire surface of the plant.

The fact is that the root system of all plants secretes a certain amount of mycotoxin. This is necessary so that the plant can mark the borders and protect itself. If you periodically do not transplant garlic, then mycotoxins begin to accumulate intensively, which provokes poisoning of the vegetable itself.

If you follow the recommendations of crop rotation and plant on a plot where garlic was previously grown, properly selected vegetable crops, you can get several advantages:

• the number of pathogens of infectious diseases and parasites in the ground decreases;
• nutritional value and usefulness of microelements significantly increases in quantity and quality;
• proper use of fertilizers and mineral additives for the soil is streamlined;
• mineral fertilizer added to the soil has a less negative impact on vegetable crops.

Upon completion of the harvest of garlic soil will need to be treated with a solution of potassium permanganate or copper sulfate. With the help of these funds it is necessary to pour in all the soil where garlic was grown. Then produce a deep plowing, during which make fungicidal agent.

Every experienced gardener or summer resident knows about the necessary following the crop rotation rules. Crop rotation is primarily needed for a bountiful harvest. Thanks to him, the soil remains healthy and clean from various parasites and infectious diseases. It is advisable to plant in one area plants that belong to different families.

If you notice that garlic is affected by an infectious disease, planting onions on the same beds is not recommended for the next two years. A planting on the garlic beds of cabbage will be the key to the recovery of the soil. Thanks to this crop, the soil will rest and the yield will increase.

Another recommended vegetable are legumes or early potatoes. These plants contribute to the saturation of the soil with various beneficial vitamins and microelements. There are basic simple crop rotation rules that will help you achieve the cultivation of juicy and ripe vegetables. First of all, do not plant vegetables on the same bed that belong to the same family. For example, for onions need to pick up a separate bed from garlic. The same applies to potatoes and tomatoes.

Dill, cucumbers, zucchini and carrots also require a separate area for growth. This separation of vegetable crops due to the fact that the root system of plants in the process of growth produces certain substances that accumulate during the season. Their excessive accumulation provokes the formation of parasites and bacteria, which become one of the main sources of infectious diseases of vegetable crops.

Every year it is recommended to alternate the "roots" and "tops". Similarly, the consumption of beneficial vitamins will be rational. That, in turn, allows you to maintain a balanced composition of the soil. The spine is the organ of vegetable culture, where nutrients accumulate. These include all types of root crops. Vershkom is also called the ground component of vegetable culture. As a rule, it is stalks, leaves or fruits.

Given the time of planting, plants can be planted in the summer or next year.

In order for vegetables to successfully adapt to a new place and to please you with a bountiful harvest, compliance with the rules of a favorable neighborhood is required. In spring, it is recommended to plant the following crops on the beds previously occupied by garlic:

• winter wheat;
• early potatoes;
• beans and beans;
• pepper;
• beet;
• all types of seasonal herbs;
• tomatoes;
• corn;
• cucumbers;
• carrot;
• squash.

Having appeared on a garlic bed rich with phytoncides, the above-listed vegetables will grow more intensively, and the crop will be juicy and plentiful. The only condition when choosing a bed for planting garlic is a windless, well-lit area. Then the cultures planted here will be easier to adapt to the new place.

Cabbage, radish and radish belong to the cruciferous plants. They are not recommended to be planted on the same plot for several years in a row. For example, if after harvesting garlic you plant cabbage, in the next season it is advisable to plant it on a garden where potatoes, onions or tomatoes were grown. It is acceptable to plant cabbage on the beds, where they grew legumes, carrots and beets.

For potatoes, which were planted after garlic, next season will need a new place. The best option would be a bed where a head of cabbage or other root crop was previously grown. It is not recommended to choose a place where tomatoes previously grew.The fact is that tomatoes and potatoes have common causative agents of infectious diseases and pests. Planting potatoes on the same site is permissible after 2-3 years, but not earlier.

Cucumbers, squash, squash and pumpkins also need to find a new place to grow. And this procedure must be carried out annually. The best option, oddly enough, will be the site where previously, early-class cabbage, peas and onions were grown. It is not recommended to use under planting the area where the beans grew. These vegetable crops do not give a bountiful harvest, if planted on beds with carrots and late-grade cabbage. The same place for planting cucumbers is permissible to use for five years.

In this regard, the risk of infecting the plant is extremely high. Tomatoes grow well and develop in the area where the head of cabbage grew, all kinds of legumes, pumpkin, various kinds of roots, onions and garlic. Do not forget that growing tomatoes for several years on the same bed, the level of acidity in the soil increases. Therefore, it is necessary to make soil liming every season, thanks to which the soil can be made more fertile.

Most experienced gardeners agree that the best option for growing after garlic is strawberries and strawberries. However, planting berry crops for more than four years in a row is not desirable, since the soil during this period is severely depleted and there is a high risk of the appearance of pathogenic bacteria and microbes, which pose a threat to plants for plants. When planting berry "antennae" in the autumn, in the spring you will notice that the plant blooms and begins to bear fruit.

Garlic is harvested in mid-July and during August. After the area is cleared, you can plant crops for which this growing season is suitable. These crops include all types of garden herbs, from dill to spinach. A good solution would be to land a sider. This is a kind of "green fertilizer", which is grown to increase the composition of the soil of such an element as nitrogen. Siderats do an excellent job with reducing the number of weeds growing. The “green fertilizers” include lupine, some species of sageevich and rape, mustard, Pancake week radish, alfalfa and phacelia.

Every year it is recommended to alternate beds with vegetable crops, this will prevent garlic and other plants from getting an infectious disease. You can not forget this rule. Experienced gardeners and gardeners give vegetables in a new place for some time to get stronger and gain strength.

Each gardener is interested in obtaining a bountiful and healthy crop, and therefore it is necessary to become familiar with vegetable crops, which in no case are recommended to be planted after garlic. After the garlic has been harvested, the soil is saturated with useful and nutritious vitamins and trace elements, so in most cases almost any vegetable culture will be suitable for further planting.

However, there is one exception. It is onions. According to agrotechnical rules, the annual alternation of onions and garlic adversely affects the composition of the soil. This is due to their similar features.

The alternation of these vegetable crops is not recommended for the following reasons.

• The soil is filled with parasites and pathogens of infectious diseases, which prefer garlic. All of these harmful microorganisms are found in the soil throughout the winter. At the onset of the spring period, the bacteria will begin to devour onion shoots, which are affected by their diseases. In this regard, all plants may die.
• In order to grow vegetables of the same family, it is desirable to regularly saturate the soil with the necessary trace elements that have been absorbed by the plants.
