In most parts of the world growers use seed to grow shallot instead of mini-bulbs. Growing shallot from seed provides growers a solid basis for making a better profit. By using true shallot seed growers can avoid taking huge phytosanitary risks compared to using farm saved shallot bulbs as planting material. The infected bulbs can easily transfer diseases and viruses to the next growing cycle. This can lead to high infection levels on the field and will negatively affect the yield and product quality. The benefits of true shallot seed versus shallots from bulbs, are significant.
The benefits of shallots from seed
- Higher yield and profit
- 100% clean start, virus- and disease free
- Seeds are year round available
- Year round affordable and stable seed prices
- Seeds can easily be stored
- Strengths of hybrid varieties
- Start growing in the season of your choice
- Grow the end product of your choosing: seedlings for transplanting, shallots for consumption and mini-bulbs
Growing shallots from seed
Growing shallot from true shallot seeds is very affordable, has less risks for the grower and provides a solid basis for making a better profit. Growers can choose their best suitable variety and start in the season they like.
