Effect of harvest age and storage duration on viability and vigor of shallot (Allium cepa L.) tubers

Shallot is one of the tuber crops used in human life worldwide. Lembah Palu variety shallot (LPVS) best raw material for fried industry. The main problem that tubers have no standard harvest age and storage duration to support these plants' germination early growth. Therefore, shallots' growth productivity are influenced by tubers' viability vigor. This study aimed investigate give vigor tubers. research was arranged a randomized complete block design (RCBD) factorial three replications. first factor shallots, which consisted four levels: 60, 65, 70, 75 days after planting (DAP). second tubers, 30, 40, 50, 60 (DAH). harvesting 60-65 DAP significantly affected parameter power, weight loss, seedling dry weight. Likewise, time, rate, These findings show 30 DAH tuber. we suggest it necessary pay attention find their maximal yield shallots.
