| Abstract:
Yield maximization in saffron using biofertilizers revealed that inoculation with Azospirilum + VAM recorded the maximum saffron yield followed by Azotobacter + Vermicompost. Highest saffron yield was also associated with substantial corm yield. However, maximum corm recovery was attained through inoculation with Trichoderma + FYM. Yield maximization was associated with increased number of flowers, increased plant height and maximum number of leaves. | |
