Yield of shallot

Allium cepa L. var. aggregatum G. Don

The yield of shallot is determined by the mass of marketable bulbs per unit area and depends on the number of bulbs per cluster, the mass of planting material, and the genetic potential of the cultivar.

In the reference 13 varieties crop Shallot, where this is mentioned in the description.

The yield of shallot is measured in t/ha or kg/m² and consists of the total and marketable mass of the produce. Key components of productivity are the number of bulbs per cluster, the average mass of a single bulb, and the share of marketable units in the total harvest volume.

Yield indicators vary significantly depending on growing conditions: from 4–10 t/ha under unfavorable conditions to 30–40 t/ha when optimizing agrotechnologies. In terms of area, marketable yield typically ranges from 1.1 to 3.1 kg/m² and above.

The quality and mass of the planting bulb, as well as planting density, have a significant impact on crop formation. High cluster bulb counts contribute to an increase in total harvest mass, although this can lead to a decrease in the average mass of each individual bulb within the cluster.
