abstract = "The genus Allium belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family and represent the biggest genus of monocotyledonous plants. The genus includes a large number (over 1000) of species that are widely used as vegetables, spices, medicinal and ornamental plants. Regardless of the variety of species, their use and cultivation are mainly of a local character, except in the case of onion (Allium cepa L.) and garlic (Allium sativum L.), which are globally known and have a use in the diet all over the world. In addition to onions and garlic, the following species are grown in the Serbia: leek (Allium ampeloprasum L.), Welsh onion (Allium fistulosum L.), chives (Allium schoenoprasum L.), shallot (Allium ascolanicum L.) but on smaller surfaces compared to onion and garlic, or at backyards and hobby gardens. Depending on the selected species, cultivation begins in autumn (October) or in spring (February-March). Cultivation of onion and garlic, as the most abundant Allium species, for production of dry bulbs, primarily start in spring. In the case of onion, growers prefer to produce commercial onion crops from little bulbs, rather than seed. On the other side, garlic are propagated only vegetative, by planting cloves, because, and today garlic varieties are completely sterile and they don't produce seeds. Leek, Welsh onion and chives are produced by transplants while field seeding is not recommended. Shallot, as a perennial Allium species produces a cluster of small, pointed bulbs from a single planted bulb. In general, alliums require fertile, well-drained, slightly acid (pH 6.0-6.8) soils. In addition, crop rotation is very important in Allium cultivation. Currently, the topical issue in Allium cultivation is related to the establishment of growing technologies that ensure high yield, good quality and high nutritional value of alliums, among which biofortification stands out.",
