Growing questions
From seed to harvest.
Short answers to common questions about growing shallots. Adapt each practice to your field conditions and your extension officer's advice.
Explore articlesHow do I choose good shallot seed?
Choose seed with a clear variety and origin that is uniform, healthy and shows no visible damage. Ask the seed grower or extension officer about the seed's identity and quality before buying.
Ministry of Agriculture seed guideWhen is the right time to plant shallots?
No single date suits every field. Consider water availability, drainage, the rainfall forecast and the variety you plant, and match your planting plan to local conditions with your extension officer.
Ministry of Agriculture cultivation SOPHow often do shallots need watering?
Water needs change with the plant's age, the weather and the soil. Watch the moisture of the beds and avoid standing water; do not simply follow the same watering schedule all season.
Ministry of Agriculture cultivation SOPWhat should I do if the leaves turn yellow or spotted?
Observe and record the symptoms, which parts of the plant are affected, how far it has spread and the water conditions in the field. Causes vary, so consult an extension officer before deciding on control measures or using pesticides.
Ministry of Agriculture cultivation SOPHow do I know shallots are ready to harvest?
Look at bulb maturity and the signs on the leaves for your variety, rather than only counting days since planting. If possible, harvest in sunny weather and lift the bulbs carefully so they are not damaged.
Ministry of Agriculture post-harvest guideHow should shallots be stored after harvest?
Dry or cure the bulbs with good air circulation, separate damaged bulbs, then store them in a dry, ventilated place. Check the stored bulbs regularly so damage does not spread.
