Farklı yetiştiricilik uygulamalarının tarla ve sera koşullarında yetiştiriciliği yapılan safran (Crocus sativus L.) korm verimi ve özellikleri üzerine olan etkileri

Abstract

Aims: This study aimed to determine the effects of different cultivation practices on yield and characteristics of saffron corm grown in field and greenhouse conditions.Methods and Results: Two different saffron corm sizes, with an average weight of 12 g and 6 g, were used as production material. The cultivation of saffron corms was carried out in areas where 4 different treatments were applied such as silt (fine stream sand), cockpeat, peat + perlite and cockpeat + perlite. Field studies were set up according to the randomized blocks split-plot design experimental design, and greenhouse studies were set up according to the randomized plots design with 3 replications. The highest corm yield, corm increase rate per unit and the harvested corm weight were obtained in field conditions where silt applications were made.Conclusions: In field and greenhouse conditions, silt application has been determined as the most suitable cultivation treatment for the production of corm as seed material in a short time, as well as the corm properties of saffron.Significance and Impact of the Study: It has been demonstrated that the field conditions are more effective than the greenhouse conditions and the silt treatment is more effective than other applications used for saffron corm production.

Effects of Chelated Iron (Eddha-Fe) Treatments on Corm And Stigma Quality in Saffron (Crocus Sativus L.)

“…In foliar application, after the plants reached a leaf length of 10 cm, four different doses were added to 500 ml of water and applied to the leaves by spraying. The experiment was established according to the randomized parcel trial pattern (Asil et al 2022) with 3 repetitions in two different environments with the same characteristics and application of corm and foliar. İn each plot 10 corms were planted to a depth of 10 cm and the first irrigation was applied immediately after planting.…”

Energy, Environmental, and Economic Sustainability of Saffron Cultivation: Insights from the First European (Italian) Case Study

“…Saffron production relies on traditional, labor-intensive methods [8], creating job opportunities, especially for women and young individuals [9]. Despite its adaptability to marginal land and low-input farming systems [10], challenges such as a short flowering season, modest yields, manual harvesting, and limited global distribution impact farmers' income [9]. Investigating sustainability impacts is crucial due to these challenges and the potential decrease in overall environmental benefits with lower yields.…”
