in a field experiment, during three successive years of 2007, 2008 and 2009, the effects of planting pattern and high corm density on agronomic performance of saffron was investigated at the research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad. a complete randomized block design in a factorial arrangement of three replications being employed. treatments consisted of three corm rates of planting (...

in order to evaluate the effects of planting date and corm density on yield and some other traits of saffron under climatic conditions of malayer in the west of iran, an experiment was conducted using split plots based on randomized complete blocks design with four replications. different planting dates (15th july, 15th august and 15th september) were allocated in the main plots and different c...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the influence of gibberellic acid (25, 50, 100, and 200 ppm) applied on saffron corms previously harvested during different periods (March, June, before planting) growth quantitative qualitative yield (Crocus sativus L.). carried out in field 2016-2017 2017-2018 seasons experimental station Faculty Sciences Oujda (Morocco). measured parameters corresp...

This investigation was carried out to determine the effects of gamma radiation on germination characteristics gladiolus corms. experiment conducted through a factorial design in randomized complete block with three replications. Two factors included cultivars (Red Advance, White Prosperity, Amsterdam, and Rose Supreme) doses (0, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75 Gy). The results showed that corm weigh...

Saffron (Crocus sativus) is the most expensive spice in world and a valuable medicinal plant. In this study, flowering, vegetative growth performance, daughter corm formation of potted saffron were investigated six growing media: loamy soil, silty sandy peatmoss, peatmoss + foam. The highest values stigma fresh weight, root number diameter corms observed plants grown soil with light texture, i....

In vitro cormogenesis is a potential tool for improving saffron production under controlled conditions. this study, the effects of explant type, culture and medium supplements on daughter corm formation in were assessed. Saffron flowers emerged 30 days after culture, sizes in-vitro- ex-vitro-produced stigmas similar. life cycle was completed 10 14 weeks respectively. Using intact corms more eff...
