RISEvaluation of the effects of saffron–cumin intercropping on growth,quality and land equivalent ratio under semi-arid conditions
as the first and the second experimental factors, respectively.Based on the results, interaction between saffron planting density and saffron–cumin ratio was significanton flower number and dried stigma yield. However, crocin, picrocrocin and safranal were...
Effects of Different Water Supply and Corm Planting Density on Crocin, Picrocrocin and Safranal, Nitrogen Uptake and Water Use Efficiency of Saffron Grown in Semi-Arid Region
Saffron’s color, taste and odor result from the chemicals crocin, picrocrocin and safranal, respectively. Hence, in addition to quantitative yield, secondary metabolites content are known as crucial factors for a successful saffron production...
How irrigation rounds and mother corm size control saffron yield,quality, daughter corms behavior and phosphorus uptake
performed. Nevertheless, the maximum crocin and picrocrocin content wereobtained under no irrigation conditions. In both years, large-sized daughter corms weight and phosphorusacquisition efficiency increased with increasing mother corms size. Moreover...
