Abstract

Saffron (Crocus sativus L. ) is a sterile triploid geophyte plant that is propagated by corms. Considering the crucial role of quality of mother corms in Saffron production, a program for "STANDARDIZATION OF SAFFRON CORMS" should be developed in Iran, a measure that has not been taken up yet. There are several obstacles that hinder us from having this comprehensive program such as lack of standard fields to produce high quality corms, lack of a clear and precise criteria for sorting produced mother corms, lack of supervision or poor supervision provided by authorized organizations on production and presentation of high quality corms and unbalanced supply and demand ratio in saffron corms markets. These are considered as the most important reasons. Moreover, mixing the healthy and infected corms as well as storage of corms, regardless of optimal temperature conditions or environmental hygiene, are considered as other challenges in the production and processing cycle of saffron. In this review, some obstacles and prerequisites for implementation of a comprehensive program for STANDARDIZATION OF SAFFRON CORMS are discussed. Moreover, useful approaches and techniques for producing standard corms such as establishment of managed fields, quality criteria for sorting harvested corms, and the principle storage of corms are outlined. In addition, some effective strategies for implementation of this program, including provision of training courses, comprehensive monitoring on services and functioning in the Supply and demand market of saffron corms, helping meet the needs and demands of consumers, editing incentive plans and supportive programs for saffron producers are specifically provided.
