Features: Garlic is one of China's traditional major export vegetable products. After China's entry into the WTO, the garlic export market has become even broader. This book discusses the production techniques and quality standards for the pre-production, production, and post-production stages of garlic, as well as the direction of industrial development, from the perspective of industrialization and the demands of the large export market. The book is divided into eight parts, including: the current status and prospects of China's garlic industry; the botanical characteristics and biological properties of garlic; virus-free garlic breeding technology; garlic cultivation techniques; abnormal growth phenomena of garlic and their prevention techniques; storage and preservation techniques for garlic sprouts and garlic heads; processing techniques for garlic sprouts and garlic heads; and disease, pest, and weed control techniques for garlic. When writing this book, emphasis was placed on linking theory with practice, with a focus on practical aspects. The techniques are advanced, standardized, and highly operable. It is suitable for leaders of garlic production areas in China, and farmers' brokers, as well as general managers, technical personnel, production managers, and relevant personnel and students from leading enterprises in garlic storage, preservation, processing, and marketing, as well as research institutions, universities, and colleges.
