The net profit of growing one acre of garlic sprouts (how much garlic sprouts can be produced from one pound of garlic and how much money can be earned)

Net profit of one acre of garlic sprouts

One pound of garlic can produce one pound and three ounces of garlic sprouts . Each greenhouse can store more than 2,000 pounds of garlic per crop, which means at least 2,600 pounds of garlic sprouts per crop. Now this kind of greenhouse can grow four crops of garlic sprouts a year. The per-acre benefit of garlic sprouts is usually four to five times higher than that of garlic.

If you master the method of growing garlic sprouts, the profit is still very considerable, much higher than growing garlic. The average net income per mu is about 30,000 yuan.

  Garlic sprouts are generally mature in about 20 days and should be harvested in time after maturity. The yield of garlic sprouts grown in different seasons is also different. Through normal management, the yield and benefits can be improved. Let's learn how to grow garlic sprouts for higher profits.

Key points for growing garlic sprouts

1. Variety selection

Choose purple garlic or fast-growing white garlic varieties, such as purple garlic, bamboo garlic, white tribute garlic, etc. The garlic sprouts grow vigorously, are neat and cold-resistant, have strong disease resistance and high yield.

2. Pool construction and insulation

Choose a vegetable plot, open space or indoor space in front of or behind the house, and build bricks to a height of 60cm. The length and width should be determined according to the planting area and number of plants.

3. Plant garlic at the right time

Choose garlic with large, uniform, and brightly colored petals, peel them, and soak them in clean water for 18-24 hours. Place the garlic cloves in a pool of water and cover them with 2-4 cm of wet fine sand or sandy loam.

When most of the garlic seedlings have grown out, cover the pond with grass to block the light, and when the sprouts are about 10cm high, spray water every 1-2 days. The garlic cloves will sprout 1-3 days after planting, and the grass curtains will cover the shade to soften the garlic leaves and promote their yellowing growth.

4. Management points

Water the garlic sprouts promptly after planting, water them every 4-5 days during the growth of the seedlings, and stop watering 3-4 days before harvest. Spraying 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate and 0.2%-0.3% urea aqueous solution once every 7 days will help increase yield.

Garlic grown for softening is usually not covered with straw curtains. If the garlic is snow-white in color, the pool or shed can be opened at noon a few days before harvest to improve color and quality.
