Saffron
is a rare herb that produces approximately 8 to
10 successive years. The harvest time falls modestly
in the first and the last year out.
Since Saffron is so special, its cultivation and
handling process is seriously demanded and carefully
implemented, from choosing soil, controlling distance,
to managing time of irrigation, drying
methods, and packing, all steps are under precautious
monitoring.
Soil: The best soil for planting Saffron is loam
which must deeply be ploughed over. Per thousand
square meter of soil, 20 to 30 tons fertilizers
should be added, and soil needs to be tilled
once again after mixing manure with oil.
Timing: Proper time is from the beginning of May
to September. Within the duration, weather is
absolutely warm enough and soil humidity
is low enough for planting.
The tubers must be kept in cool, dry and dark
place until planting, in order to prevent budding
and taking root out; they must be surely
antiseptic before planting in soil by fungicide
poisons.
All of the tubers are planted into 20 cm depth
to avoid cold winter and hot summer. Place 3,
5 or more tubers in each hole, and distant
each hole in around 15 to 25 centimeters, certainly
it is depended on amount of cultivated
tubers.
