- Abstract
With annually 145,000 ha cultivated area, shallot is widely used in Indonesian daily cuisine and therefore an important crop for farmers and consumers in Indonesia. Bulb propagation for many years resulted in yield reduction. Alternatively, True Shallot Seed (TSS) has many advantages to offer as lower costs of planting material, higher yield, and better quality. Highlighting 3 decades activities at PT East West Seed Indonesia (Ewindo), a review of TSS Development of breeding process, seed availability effort, and introduction new cultivation technique are explained. For its health benefit, preliminary experiment of nutritious compound that holds by shallot called quercetin was carried out in April-September 2019. To find out the quercetin content, we used 5 varieties (Ewindo varieties: Sanren F1, Lokananta, BM-9008, BM-9474 and Local Variety: Bima Brebes) planted in 3 elevations (Low, Med, High Land). Bulb harvested was raised using TSS Cultivation Technique and followed by Quercetin Lab Check in UGM LPPT Laboratory. The result showed the highest quercetin content was in variety Sanren F1 planted in Low Land of 691 mg/kg. While lowest quercetin content was in variety Bima Brebes planted in Low Land of 312 mg/kg. Therefore, highlighting quercetin content will be beneficial for further varieties development.
