About Matador Organic (F1) Shallot Seeds
Matador Organic is an F1 shallot selected for uniform, reddish-copper bulbs with smooth white flesh and dependable storage quality. Its half-long, teardrop-shaped bulbs offer a refined flavor for roasting, sauces, and fresh kitchen use. Plants mature in about 105 days and perform best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. Harvest after the tops fall, cure thoroughly, and store the firm bulbs in a cool, dry place.

Pests & Diseases
Downy mildew, Botrytis neck rot, purple blotch, Fusarium basal rot, and white rot affect shallots. Use clean seed, rotate alliums, and keep foliage dry. Remove plants with white basal growth or premature yellowing. Cure harvested bulbs thoroughly and store only firm, uninjured shallots.
Onion thrips, onion maggots, leafminers, cutworms, and allium diseases may occur. Rotate away from onions, garlic, leeks, and shallots; remove cull bulbs and crop debris, and inspect folded leaves for feeding damage.
