Study of the effect of biological and organic fertilization on some productive characteristics of wild saffron plant

Abstract

This research was carried out in the Department of Horticultural Sciences - Faculty of Agricultural Engineering - Damascus University and in the House of Flowers - Farm of the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering - Damascus University in 2023. The aim of the research is to study the effect of organic and biological fertilizers on some properties of wild saffron. Wild saffron corms were collected from the village of Harfa located in the Jabal Al-Shikh rigeon, where three treatments were used: fertilization using environmental use EM1 concentration of 5 ml / L, fertilization with biofertilizer EM1 + humic acid concentration 5 ml / L). Where the results of the study are that the use of organic and biological fertilizers combined had the greatest yield, because the efficiency of biofertilizers decreases in the absence of organic fertilizers and vice versa, as there together improves the properties of the soil and its fertility and that will improve the quantity and quality properties of saffron.
