Abstract/Description: | Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is economically as well as medicinally an important flowering plant, generally known as golden condiment. As generative propagation in nature is practically impossible, growing can be maintained asexually with daughter corms year after year. Demand of the corm is increasing year after year, due to the various factors affecting corm production. Plant growth regulators have important roles in plant growth and development. The externally applicable chemicals belong to different action classes and each one has a crucial and effective role at different plant growing stages. In our study we used different media combinations along with phytohormones, which revealed, maximum corm multiplication (05) in media combination comprising of Cocopeat+Vermiculite+Soil (1:1:1) supplemented with colchicines (0.5%)+GA3(100ppm)+NAA(200ppm)+CCC (500ppm) and vermiculite+soil (3:1) supplemented with GA3(150ppm)+NAA(150ppm)+CCC (400ppm) as compared to control,with least number of corms(2.3). Hence the growth regulators when applied exogenously to saffron can enhance the corm multiplication rate, if used in proper concentration and combination along with different media.
