## Abstract
Shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) seedlings frequently experience transplant shock, but the role of seedling traits in recovery dynamics remains unclear. This study investigated three seed-propagated varieties ('Lokananta', 'Merdeka F1', 'Sanren F1') under net-house conditions (June 2024, 5°S, 119°E) using ANOVA, regression, and correlation analyses. Results demonstrated that 'Merdeka F1' exhibited superior performance, with 28-42% greater biomass (2.36 g), enhanced root development (12.80 tips and 8.90 cm length), and faster recovery (5.77 days vs. 6.33-6.53 days) compared to other varieties. Pseudostem diameter emerged as the strongest predictor of recovery time (quadratic model: R2=0.77; correlation: r=−0.86), with seedlings >4.5 mm diameter recovering ~1 day faster. Significant negative correlations were also observed between recovery day and biomass (r=−0.66) or leaf count (r=−0.27), while root traits showed minimal influence (R2<0.04). These findings establish pseudostem diameter as a key selection criterion for transplant resilience and highlight 'Merdeka F1' genetic advantages. Future research should investigate optimal seedling age and biostimulant applications to enhance shallot transplant success.
