Hi Samuel!Upon checking on the Farmer's Guide Map, we could not find the suitability of garlic in your area. For the soil requirement, garlic can be grown in different types of soil. However, sandy, silt and clay loam are recommended for commercial production.
Also, garlic grows favorably in areas with Type I climate, which is characterized by a wet season that usually occurs from May to October and a dry season from November to April. Lastly, garlic does not grow well in areas with excessive rainfall. We have sent you the production guide on garlic to help you decide on this. Thank you! |
