This document offers a detailed guide in Vietnamese on the cultivation of garlic. It starts with an introduction to the plant's characteristics and requirements, including its preference for well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5, an ideal temperature range of 15°C to 25°C, and three primary varieties: 'Elephant', 'Silverskin', and 'Creole'. The guide then delves into planting techniques, recommending autumn or early spring plantings with a spacing of 10-12 cm between plants. Fertilization is highlighted as crucial for healthy growth, with the application of balanced fertilizer at both planting time and after 30 days. The document addresses common pests like aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites, suggesting insecticidal soap or neem oil for control. Disease prevention is discussed, focusing on maintaining good air circulation, removing infected plants, and applying fungicides to combat fungal infections and bacterial leaf blight. Harvesting recommendations are provided when the tops of the plants begin to yellow and fall over, with bulbs dug up and dried for storage. In conclusion, this document offers a valuable resource for farmers and gardeners seeking to cultivate garlic.
