| description | Given the problem that traditional garlic cultivation patterns in China have difficulty in achieving comprehensive mechanized production, an experimental investigation on mechanization-friendly cultivation agronomy was conducted. In this study, an orthogonal experimental method was used to conduct continuous tracking experiments for three years in three major garlic production regions of China. All the experiments were used to verify the impacts of sprout orientation, planting mode, planting density, and row spacing on garlic bulb yield per hectare. For every impact, nine experiments were processed. The results indicated the following: (1) planting density influenced the garlic bulb yield per hectare extremely significantly, followed by row spacing, planting pattern, and sprout orientation; (2) the combination of sprout orientation (1–45°), planting pattern (large ridge), a planting density (42.75)/10,000 plants per hectare, and row spacing (26 + 10) led to the largest garlic bulb yield per hectare, which means this combination was the best form of cultivation agronomy. This study will provide a valuable reference for China’s farmland suitability for agricultural machinery operation (FSAM) production program. |
