Abstract

Shallot (Allium cepa var. ascalonicum Backer) is an important vegetable crop cultivated by smallholder farmers for consumption and income generation in Ethiopia. However, scarcity of high yielding varieties as well as lack of superior planting material seriously constrains productivity of the crop. Research project was initiated aiming at studying adaption of true seed shallot for yield and components. A series of experiments were conducted using the randomized complete block design to identify the appropriate variety for production of bulb yield. The combined analysis of variance results for marketable bulb yield (kg/plot), unmarketable bulb yield (kg/ha), total bulb yield (kg/plot) and total bulb yield (t/ha). The results showed that the mean squares for main factors of genotype and year as well as interaction of genotypes x year were significant for marketable bulb yield (kg/plot). The overall marketable yield range of the shallot varieties was from 256.56- 171.49qtha^-1 and the average number of splits per plants ranged from 8- 4.72. Improved Minjar shallot variety showed its superiority in marketable bulb yield (kg/plot), total bulb yield (kg/plot) and total bulb yield (t/ha) yields as compared to other varieties. Therefore, as there was no significant yield advantage between these varieties from true seed study area, so the experiment could be repeated across locations to come up with good conclusion for recommendation.
