GARLIC PRODUCTION: Managing of Weeds

• Garlic has shallow roots and sparse canopy;
therefore it difficult to compete with w**ds
especially at the early stage of growth.

• Weeding is done after germination to avoid
uprooting of garlic plants by hand

- 1st Weeding: 1 – 2 weeks after emergence

- 2nd Weeding: 4 – 5 weeks after crop
emergence

• Do Not w**d when the soil is wet to avoid
compaction

• Deep cultivation close to the plants should be
avoided

• Mulching is recommended in the following
reasons:
1) Suppressing w**ds

2) Maintaining soil moisture contents

3) Disease control

4) Mulching materials can be utilize as organic
matter for next cropping
