Abstract

Given that saffron is a perennial plant that its growth and development are coincided by apple tree inactive phase and also flowering and development stages have little interference with the tree, on the other hand due to synchrony of rainy seasons with plant growth, this plant can be a good candidate for Agroforestry in apple orchard especially in semi-arid regions as Iran. So this experiment aimed to evaluate the effects of Corm weight and plant density on saffron yield affected intercropping with apple tree. The experiment carried out as factorial layout based on a randomized complete block design with three replications during 2015-2016 growing seasons. Three corm densities (30. 8, 40 and 57. 1 corms. m-2) and four Corm weights (≤ 6. 0, 6. 1-8. 0, 8. 1-10. 0 and >10. 0 g) were considered as treatments. Rows spacing was 25 cm and corm spacing set-out based on density levels. The results showed that the maximum flower numbers, fresh flower yield, dry Stigma yield, Corm yield, corm number and dry Stigma yield per orchard area were achieved from 57. 1 corms. m-2 and 10< g weight in two years. Maximum emergence percentage was belonged to 10< g corm in two years. Given that saffron yield consist of dry Stigma yield and Corm weight, it seems that sowing corm with 10< g weight and 57. 1 corms. m-2 can produce proper yield, especially at the first and second years, that apple trees canopy is not completed yet.
