The whole process of saffron cultivation

Before planting, germinate the seeds and soak them in warm water for a day so that the seeds can absorb sufficient water and promote the germination speed in the later stage. Then prepare the appropriate soil and use a small amount of benomyl to disinfect the soil.

After the seeds germinate, you can plant them in the soil, keep the soil moist, and place them in a warm place. It is important to apply enough base fertilizer. When applying fertilizer, pay attention to spreading the fertilizer evenly on the ground. An environment of about 20 degrees is the most suitable. After more than 20 days, the seeds can grow roots.
