Effect of several complexes of the sand and field soil on the size and weight corm and flowering of saffron (Crocus sativus L) in varamin.

This study was done to evaluate the effect of percent of wind sand (20,40,50,60) combined with farm soil on weight gain of the corms of Crocus sativus as well as its flowering yield in a field located at Gheshlagh village of Moin Abad of Varamin in 2010-2011. The experiment contained five treatments and was performed at a complete randomized block design with four replications.
