Abstract

In order to investigate the impact of Novafol biofertilizer and mother corm weight on leaf growth, chlorophyll content, and flower/Stigma yield of saffron (Crocus sativus L. ), an experiment was done as randomized complete block design with three replications in the Agricultural Research Station, University of Birjand, during the growth season of 2016-17. Experimental factors were Novafol fertilizer (containing 28% of Amino-acid, applied for corm soaking and fertigation in three levels: 0, 2 and 4 L. ha-1) and mother corm weight (0. 1-4, 4. 1-8 and 8. 1-12 g). The effect of Novafol biofertilizer was significant on number of flowers, Flower yield, dry Stigma yield and chlorophyll content. The highest flower number (16. 5 per m-2), Flower yield (5. 63 g. m-2), dry Stigma yield (108 mg m-2) and chlorophyll content (1. 09 mg. g-1 FW) were obtained from 4 L. ha-1, while the lowest flower number (14. 22 per m-2), Flower yield (4. 55 g. m-2), Stigma yield (85 mg. m-2) and chlorophyll a (0. 97 mg. g-1 FW) were obtained in the control treatment, but, there was no significant difference between two levels (2 and 4 L. ha-1) of Novafol biofertilizer. Corm weights also significantly affected all the studied traits. The highest Stigma length (25. 1 mm), Flower yield (10. 4 g. m2), leaf length (31. 42 cm) and fresh and dry weights of leaves (0. 29 and 0. 083 g per plant, respectively) were obtained from big corms, but the lowest of them were obtained from small ones. The interaction effect of corm weight and Novafol biofertilizer was significant on chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll contents and number of leaves per plant. The highest chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll (1. 77 and 2. 95 mg. g-1 FW, respectively) and number of leaves (7. 58 per plant) were obtained from 4 L. ha-1 of novafol biofertilizer and big corm. Overall, application of Novafol biofertilizer (4 L. ha-1) improved the vegetative and reproductive growth parameters. Planting big corms also had an important role in increasing the growth and yield of saffron.
