Objectives

-Search for an effective method of extraction and disinfection compatible with organic farming. A new technique will be investigated to eradicate the damage and facilitate handling when extracting the corms,

-The operational group must provide solutions to the current problems presented by the cultivation of saffron, optimizing production, reducing labor, as well as the complexity of the work, promoting sustainability and development of new techniques on a farmer scale.

-Obtaining healthy corms, as well as extending the crop, given the need to have a starting material with a guarantee of adequate and certified health

Activities

Implementation of a phytosanitary control of corms, especially those dedicated to organic farming, as well as mitigating the decrease in crop yield derived from floral abortion due to increasingly frequent high temperatures with techniques such as mulching and associating the cultivation of saffron with woody species, especially the almond tree
