Like every other crop, NARC G1 garlic also needs fertilizers for healthy growth. Banu Mukhtar Farms made a detailed study of fertilizers needed for proper growth of NARC G1 garlic and successfully implemented the fertigation process. This is why best seeds of NARC G1 garlic are available on Banu Mukhtar Farms.
Nitrogen plays a major role in this regard. Multiple fertilizers are needed to be used for proper growth of NARC G1 garlic crop. These fertilizers include DAP Nutraful, Cheetah Potash, Cheeta Sulphur, Boron and Potassium Humate. Each of these fertilizers must be used according to the prescribed quantity for NARC G1 garlic crop.
These fertilizers should be used at certain stages of NARC G1 garlic growth. Banu Mukhtar Farms uses the best mix of fertilizers in the fields which are why their NARC G1 seed is deemed the best in the market. A detailed guidance about the quantity and the timing to use these fertilizers is given below.
Recommended Fertilizers (N; P; K)/acre (kg) for NARC G1 Garlic
N; P; K at the rate of 110; 100; 140 Kg/acre is recommended for G1 garlic. Basal dose for G1 garlic is given below
Basal Dose for NARC G1 Garlic
| Basal Dose | Quantity |
| DAP Nutraful | 2 Bag/acre |
| Cheetah Potash | 1 Bag/acre |
| Cheetah Sulphur | 25 kg/acre |
| Boron | 3 Kg/acre |
| Potasium Humate | 10 kg/acre |
The remaining fertilizers should be applied through drip irrigation on daily basis while in flood irrigation it should be applied at different stages.
Phosphorus application must be completed up to 120 days.
Nitrogen application must be completed up to 150 days.
Potash application must be completed up to 180 days.
Role of Phosphorus in NARC HG1 Garlic
Phosphorus is responsible for a number of functions in NARC HG1 Garlic which underlines its importance to the plants in your garden.
The growth of plants of NARC HG1 Garlic is boosted by phosphorous whose lack leads to weak plants that fail to produce as expected.
Plants require capturing the rays of the sun during photosynthesis. The following are the main functions performed by phosphorus in the life of NARC HG1 Garlic:
- Phosphorus is an essential macro-element. It is a component of certain enzymes and proteins, as well as of ATP (Adenosine Tri Phosphate) and nucleic acids – DNA and RNA.
- Phosphorus enhances root growth, improves flower formation of NARC HG1 Garlic,
- Increases the resistance of the NARC G1 Garlic to environmental stress and improves overall crop quality.
- It participates in metabolic processes, like the photosynthesis, energy transfer (ATP is a molecule responsible for storing and transferring energy in plant cells), and degradation carbohydrates.
- The amount of phosphorus available for plants is very low, compared to the total amount of phosphorus in the soil. Therefore, in many cases, application of phosphorus fertilizers is required in order to meet crop.
- NARC HG1 Garlic requires nutrition for their development. The nutrition is processed in the leaves and then stored or transferred to other parts of the plants. Phosphorus is required for photosynthesis and also in the storage and transportation of the nutrients throughout the NARC HG1 Garlic.
- Phosphorous is responsible for crop maturity at the right time. NARC HG1 Garlic that lack phosphorous take time to mature and when they do, the fruits or seeds they bear are few and poor in quality.
- The substances required for the formation and development of genes cannot perform well without the availability of phosphorous. The transfer of the genes from one generation to the next is only possible when phosphorous is available.
- NARC HG1that have access to enough phosphorous have the ability to resist diseases because all their parts are well developed and grow quickly.
What Does Phosphorus Deficiency Cause?
- Symptoms of phosphorus deficiency first occur on lower leaves of NARC HG1 Garlic.
- NARC HG1 Garlic Leaves may develop dark green or purplish color (result of accumulation anthocyanin pigments), starting from the edges of the leaves.
- This symptom typically occurs in the earlier growth stages of the crop, when root system is not yet developed.
- Deficiency is more common under conditions cool, wet soils.
- Phosphorous deficiency is not very obvious, but one can tell of its presence if plants fail to grow to their normal size or take too long to mature.
- Plants require phosphorus from the early stages of development because it is hard to reverse the effects of the deficiency when signs of stunt growth appear.
