Variety traits
Allium ascalonicum L.
A classification characteristic of shallot that determines the length of its growing season from emergence to technical maturity, expressed in days.
In the reference 3 varieties crop Shallot, where this is mentioned in the description.
The maturity group of shallot is determined by the length of the growing season, which, for bulb maturation in temperate climates, ranges from 60–80 days, and for green tops production from 18–30 days. Technical maturity is identified by visual indicators: mass leaf lodging and the beginning of the outer scale desiccation.
Shallot varieties are categorized into early, mid-season, and late-maturing, which allows for scheduling sequential harvest and planting dates. The choice of maturity group influences economically important traits such as yield, shelf life, and average bulb weight, with early-maturing forms often being more effective for green tops production.
