The length of the growth cycle of garlic varies greatly depending on the sowing period. Garlic sown in spring has a shorter growth period, generally 90-110 days; garlic sown in autumn has a growth period of 220-280 days due to a certain number of days of low-temperature vernalization.

The length of the growth cycle of garlic varies greatly depending on the sowing period. Garlic sown in spring has a shorter growth period, generally 90-110 days; garlic sown in autumn has a growth period of 220-280 days due to a certain number of days of low-temperature vernalization. Garlic generally uses bulbs as propagating materials, and garlic generally uses bulbs as propagating materials. Its growth process can be divided into 6 stages, namely germination stage, seedling stage, bulb and flower bud differentiation stage, flower stem elongation stage, bulb expansion stage and dormant stage. . In addition, when propagating with aerial bulbs, there is a growth period of aerial bulb enlargement after the underground bulbs mature.

The period from sowing to when the basal leaves grow out of the soil surface is the germination period. Generally, all garlic germinates after 10~15 days of sowing. The roots in the germination period mainly grow vertically, the longest root is more than 1cm, and the number of roots is as many as 30. . The period from the first true leaf to the start of the differentiation of flower buds and scale buds is the seedling stage. It only takes 25 days for spring sowing garlic to pass through the seedling stage. Autumn sowing garlic includes the overwintering stage, and it takes up to 5 to 6 months of nutrition. Growth lays the material foundation for the differentiation of scale buds and flower buds. During the differentiation stage of scale bud and flower bud, the vegetative body of the plant is fully grown, the growth of root system is enhanced, the growth of plant height and leaf area is accelerated, and the accumulation of nutrients increases, which lays a material foundation for the growth of garlic sprouts and bulbs. After the flower bud differentiation ends, the garlic sprouts grow rapidly, the scale buds also begin to expand, the leaf area and plant growth reach the maximum value, and the vegetative growth and reproductive growth go hand in hand. After the garlic sprouts are harvested, a large amount of nutrients are transferred to the bulbs, and the bulbs expand rapidly. After the bulb matures, it enters a physiological dormancy period of more than 2 months
