Pequeño bulbo de cebolla, menos de 25-30 mm de diámetro [que] se obtiene mediante semillas [y] se vuelve a plantar para producir [nuevas] cebollas. 1, record 1, Spanish, - bulbillo
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Las cebollas también se pueden producir a partir de pequeños bulbos de cebolla [...] que reciben el nombre de "ajillos" en Lanzarote y Tenerife, pero que también se denominan "microbulbos", "bulbillos", "propágulos" o "onion set", en inglés. [...] Los ajillos se obtienen mediante semillas de variedades de cebolla de día corto sembradas en condiciones de día largo. Esto hace que las semillas den lugar a cebollinos que comienzan a formar el bulbo rápidamente. Estos ajillos, una vez curados, se vuelven a plantar para que produzcan cebollas. De este modo aumenta el vigor de las plantas y el rendimiento del cultivo, al tiempo que se adelanta la producción unas semanas respecto a la de cebollas procedentes de trasplante. 1, record 1, Spanish, - bulbillo
