Abstract

Background and Objectives: The most expensive medicinal spicy plant in the world is saffron (Crocus sativus L. ). Nutritional management one of the main factors affecting chemical properties and yield of saffron. Municipal waste compost is one organic fertilizer which moreover contain Micro elements and compost to be increased ability this elements. Therefore the effects of application of municipal waste compost on uptake Micro elements (Fe, Cu, Zn and Mg) in saffron plant and relation with arable characteristics and yield of saffron were evaluated under field conditions. Materials and Methods: This experiment was carried out based on a randomized completely blocks design with three replications in research farm of University of Birjand, Iran, during cropping year 2015-2016. Treatments were four levels municipal waste compost (0, 5, 10 and 20 t. ha-1). The measured indices were included of concentration of Micro elements (in soil, leaf, corm and stigma), pigments photosynthesis (chl a, b and total and carotenoids) and arable characteristics (leaf fresh and dry weight, flower fresh yield and average and yield dry stigma). Finally, data analysis was done using SAS 9. 1 and means were compared by Duncan’ s multiple range test at 5% level of probability. Results: Results showed that municipal waste compost improved the concentration Cu, Fe and Mn of soil, corm and stigma of saffron beside control. The highest concentration Fe (3. 038 and 4. 334 mg. kg-1), Mn (1. 980 and 3. 116 mg. kg-1) and Cu (1. 094 and 1. 802 mg. kg-1) of flower and corm were obtained in plants treated with 20 t. ha-1 municipal waste compost while the lowest values were recorded in the control. Also results showed that municipal waste compost improved the concentration Zn of soil and leaf beside control. The highest concentration Zn (1. 633 and 1. 240 mg. kg-1) of soil and leaf were obtained in plants treated with 20 and 10 t. ha-1 municipal waste compost. Leaf Carotenoides and total Chlorophyll, flower and Stigma yield were influenced by municipal waste compost treatments. The highest flower and Stigma yield were obtained in plants treated with 10 t. ha-1 municipal waste compost. Conclusion: Thus, results showed that municipal waste compost has significant impact on uptake Micro elements of saffron soil and plant. Municipal waste compost hereby improved the arable and yield characteristics of saffron under field conditions.
