An excellent variety that produces a high yield of reddish brown bulbs. Good flavour. The high dry matter content aids storage.
Shallots: 240-360 seeds per gram. Germinates between 5 and 30°C, sowing date mid February-March. Seed rate 4-5kg per hectare, 2.5-10 x 40-60cm spacing.
The advantages of growing shallots from sets (immature bulbs), rather than from seed, are that there is: shorter time to maturity, less sensitivity to soil types and a lower incidence of pest and disease.
Approx. 70 bulbs per kilo. Space 15cm (in row) x 25cm (between rows). Plant so that the tip of the bulb is just visible above the soil. Best results acheived from planting mid March to mid April. Planting into cold, wet ground can cause bolting so do not plant too early. Heat treatments are used to kill the flower embryo this prevents bolting in early plantings.
