Want to start a garlic farm? Master the basic skills first

Growing garlic is an incredibly rewarding experience, but it can also be frustrating. Garlic is a high value horticultural crop in the onion family. Farmers are getting interested in growing garlic due to its reported high returns and the readily available local market. But wait, have you considered that like any other crop, garlic growing can result in massive losses?

Well, some new growers think garlic is ‘bullet-proof’ and that it can repel insects and that nothing can attack it. But the truth is some farmers have reported cases of garlic destruction from pests and diseases.
