Method for organic cultivation and quality estimation of saffron
Microbial Consortium Patent (1)
Vam-Sil is an advanced microbial consortium developed to enhance saffron quality and induce systemic resistance (ISR) in Saffron plants. It combines beneficial VAM fungi (Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices) with a silicon source (potassium silicate). Vam-Sil significantly improves saffron quality, boosts stress tolerance, and supports sustainable crop productivity. Additionally, the synergistic combination improves soil microbial activity and promotes better nutrient absorption.
Tricho-Wal is a specialized bioformulation combining Trichoderma spp. with walnut leaf powder, developed for effective management of saffron corm rot. Trichoderma acts as a potent biocontrol agent, suppressing soil-borne pathogens. The inclusion of walnut leaf powder adds natural bioactive compounds with antimicrobial properties, further enhancing disease suppression. Tricho-Wal helps in inducing plant defense responses and improving tolerance to environmental stresses, resulting in healthier saffron plants with reduced disease incidence. Additionally, the synergistic combination improves soil microbial activity and promotes better nutrient absorption.
Saff-Multi is a liquid microbial consortium formulated to enhance saffron corm multiplication. It contains plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria delivered in a nutrient-rich carrier. Saff-Multi promotes enhanced microbial activity alongwith efficient nutrient uptake leading to increased corm multiplication rate. Its application supports sustainable saffron cultivation by improving soil health, and ensuring better propagation of high-quality planting material.
Saff-Grow is an advanced liquid microbial consortium designed to enhance saffron yield and quality by integrating beneficial rhizobacteria and mycorrhizal fungi. The formulation enhances saffron flowering, increases stigma yield, and improves overall saffron quality by promoting microbial activity in the rhizosphere alongwith better nutrient absorption. Saff-Grow serves as a comprehensive solution for achieving higher productivity and superior saffron quality under sustainable agricultural practices.
