• If the garlic turns yellow due to a lack of nitrogen, then in the spring, add urea and other nitrogenous fertilizers.

Why yellow garlic, how to fertilize it:

• Loosen the soil to adhere to the optimal air-gas regime. After all, the plant can not breathe if you allow the formation of a dense crust on the surface of the garden with garlic plantings.
• Winter grains often turn yellow in the spring due to watering.

But monitor the situation so that the soil does not dry out. Watering is recommended to begin in June. And choose the regime of watering will help not the general recommendations, but an individual approach, taking into account the specific conditions of growing garlic.

• Black mold. A dangerous fungal disease that occurs due to a violation of the temperature regime. Most often this problem happens with garlic and such kinds of onions as samples and sekok. Mold covers the upper layers of the scales. The bulbs soften, a black and dusty mass appears between the scales. The poorly dried and non-ripe garlic is especially affected by black mold.
• Fusarium. This fungal disease develops because of excess moisture, if the air temperature and soil density exceed the norm, and the plant receives less nutrition. The first signs become noticeable during maturation. The leaves of the plant turn yellow and quickly die, starting from the top. In the zone of the bottom a pink, white or yellow coating is visible. Affected tissues dry up and eventually mummify. The disease spreads quickly. Onion fly. This pest infects the leaves of garlic. Therefore, before planting, the plant is disinfected in water at a temperature of 40 degrees for 2 hours.
