Saffron has great medicinal value, tonifying blood, nourishing blood, cosmetology, and has a strong curative effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. How to breed it correctly is a technical activity, which has strict requirements for the growth environment. The following editor explains the saffron culture technology in detail from four aspects. Let's take a look.

Growing environment

Saffron is a subtropical plant, born in a warm and moist climate, cold-tolerant, semi-overcast, afraid of extreme heat, stagnant water, sufficient sunlight, suitable temperature for growth is about 15 ℃, flowering temperature is about 16-20 ℃. The planting soil needs to be loose, fertile and well drained. If the soil is too sticky and heavy, it will lead to poor development.

Reproduction

The propagation of saffron can be divided into ball propagation and sowing propagation.

Bulb propagation

Bulb propagation is more convenient and fast, generally carried out in August and September, saffron mature corm has several main lateral buds, the bottom of the leaf cluster will expand to form a new bulb, with summer withered, dug out the corm dry storage. Bigger bulbs are selected for planting around October, and they can take root and sprout in about half a month.

Sowing and reproduction

It takes a long time to sow and propagate, and saffron is not easy to seed. Artificial pollination is needed to get seeds. It takes 3-4 years to plant flowering after seeds are ripe, and it is not recommended to use them.

Planting management

During the growth and development period of saffron, attention should be paid to watering and irrigation, which is beneficial to seedling growth. Sufficient organic fertilizer should be applied in the soil before planting, and a certain amount of nitrogen fertilizer should be added with the plant growth process. In order to ensure more flowering of the plant, too many lateral buds of the plant should be removed, and the soil should be loosened and weeds should be removed in time when the bulb expands.

The above are all the contents of saffron culture methods, I hope you can like, pay attention to this site to get more relevant content, and remind everyone to pay attention to pest protection in the breeding process.
