Variety traits

Keeping quality — shallot

Allium cepa L. var. aggregatum G. Don

Keeping quality is a key economically valuable trait of shallots, ensuring long-term storage due to a longer biological dormancy period compared to bulb onions.

In the reference 34 varieties crop Shallot, where this is mentioned in the description.

Quality assessment during storage is carried out by recording the percentage of marketable bulbs and evaluating natural weight loss and losses from diseases such as neck rot, bacterial rot, and root rot. High keeping quality is characterized by minimal desiccation and resistance to pathogens, which allows some pungent varieties to maintain product quality for up to two years.

The biological feature of shallots is a deeper dormancy period, which contributes to better storability. Cultivation strategy focuses on achieving high-quality bulb maturation before storage, and selective breeding is aimed at combining productivity with low susceptibility to rots during the storage period.
