“…These results are better than previous studies [58], with Tuk-Tuk and Trisula varieties' highest yield at 7.45 t ha -1 , followed by Tuk-Tuk varieties 7.10 t ha -1 . Furthermore, [2] reported that shallot planted on Vertisol produced a higher bulb yield (38.2 t ha -1 ) than on Alfisol (30.2 t ha -1 ). It could be associated with Vertisol's better fertility and water holding capacity.…”

The objective of this study was to double production by True Shallot Seed (TSS) in sandy land agro-ecosystems, widely adapted especially in temperate climate regions. Even though vegetative planting has been carried out using tubers in rice fields and dry land in Indonesia, not much has been done on sandy land. Another research gap also presents from the considerably low actual productivity (10-15 t ha -1 ) that still can be doubled (>20 -30 t ha -1 ) in sandy land. The study used three varieties (Lokananta, Bima, and Trisula) and carried out in three stages: characterization and identification of soil biophysical properties, an in-site study of the seed nursery system of TSS, and an assessment of cultivation development based on plant populations increasing production. This study resulted in TSS productivity 30.66-236.00% higher than average national productivity for all three varieties; this is a novel finding. TSS productivity on sandy land ranging from 14.831 to 28.178 t ha -1 was above the national average production at 10.48 t ha -1 of bulb-seed originated shallots. Thus, this result indicates that TSS seed planting system is more profitable, particularly for shallot seed producers (traders and farmers), aside from saving transportation costs. Another benefit is supporting planning and agronomy development, especially the progress of planting shallot from seeds in Indonesia.

The population health is an important component of the country development, since the working capacity and workers' safety in the workplace depends on their health status. Toxic substances that are used the manufacturing process often cause allergies, inflammatory processes of the skin and internal organs, sometimes diabetes and cancer. To strengthen immunity and improve the health of workers, traditional Chinese medicine, which has achieved great success at present, can be recommended. The aim of this manuscript is review of health benefits and pharmaceutical impacts of Chinese honey locust and shallot. Literature search was conducted in Medline, Research Gate, Scopus, PubMed and Google Scholar Databases. The keywords were Chinese honeylocust, shallot, traditional Chinese medicine, Asian medicine and modern pharmaceutical Sciences. Gleditsia sinensis Lam. (G. sinensis) is a perennial arbour spread in most parts of the world, especially in China. It is a classical traditional Chinese medical herb. All relevant papers in the English language of researchers from different countries were collected. The most important benefits of shallots are high source of antioxidants, improve heart health, cancer prevention, and diabetes, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, might help fight obesity, and help to prevent or treat allergies. The most important components of Gleditsia sinensis are triterpenoid saponins, triterpenes, flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolics, sterols, and their important derivatives are responsible for tremendous medicinal effects. It has been reported that Gleditsia sinensis Lam thorn (GST) possesses a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor effects. Its fruit is antibacterial, antifungal, antitussive, astringent, emetic, expectorant, haemostatic and stimulant. The seed is emetic, expectorant, decongestant and purgative, and its root bark is both anthelmintic and antifebrile. The obtained findings suggest potential of Shallot and Chinese honey locust in both food and pharmaceutical industries. The demand for shallot products is increasing every year with increase population growth and food industries. More clinical studies may necessary to uncover the numerous substances and their effects in shallot that contribute to public health.

Shallot is a horticultural commodity belonging to spice vegetables. Shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) is a perennial crop which is grown as an annual for its cluster of small cloves and bulbs. Persian shallot also is native and endemic of Iran and grows as a wild plant across Zagross mountains at high elevations. Shallot is an important source of carbohydrate, vitamin A, B, and C. Phenolic compound in Shallot consi st of gallic acid, apigenin, eriodictyol, quercetin, isoquercetin, rutin, kaempferol, catechin and tannic acid. The most important health benefits of shallots are reduction of cancer risk, improve heart health, aid detoxification, help control diabetes, improve brain health, help to fight obesity and treat allergies, boost bone health, maintain vision health, boost immunity, improve skin health, increase abdominal health and keep hair healthy. The dominants medicinal properties of Persian shallot is it antibiotic, hypolipidemic, anticancer, antioxidant, hypoglycemic, kidney protective and hepatoprotective propertie s. Thi s review article allowed verifying shallots a s source s of compound s with valuable nutritional and bioactive properties with great ability for incorporation into foods with functional properties. Also, treatment with natural herbal medicine like shallot as non-synthetic drug is recommended.
