Abstract: The effects of water and fertilizer integration on thegrowth and yield of hybrid garlic are studied. Methods: One planting area isselected for hybrid garlic planting with traditional technology as the controlgroup, and two planting areas are selected for hybrid garlic planting withintegrated water and fertilizer technology as the experimental group. Growthand yield of hybrid garlic are compared between the two groups. Results: thesoil moisture in the experimental group always remains between 63.3% and 70.8%,while that in the control group ranges from 29.7% to 46.5%. The dry weight andfresh weight of hybrid garlic in the experimental group are both higher than thatin the control group. Conclusion: the water and fertilizer integrationtechnology can provide a good growing environment for hybrid garlic, which isconducive to the healthy growth of hybrid garlic and can increase the yield ofgarlic effectively.
