Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Germination across selected crops was highest in controls, averaging 92%, then fell as extract concentration rose.
- Intervention effect At the highest saffron leaf-extract concentration, arugula germination was 18%.
- Intervention effect At the highest saffron leaf-extract concentration, canola germination was 10%.
- Intervention effect At the highest saffron corm-extract concentration, arugula germination was 72%.
- Intervention effect At the highest saffron corm-extract concentration, canola germination was 68%.
- Intervention effect At the highest saffron corm-extract concentration, alfalfa germination was 93%.
- Intervention effect Germination rate, root and plumule lengths, and dry weights followed a similar concentration-related pattern.
- Intervention effect Saffron leaf extract inhibited early growth more than corm extract.
- Observation Among tested crops, alfalfa had the lowest leaf-extract inhibition and comparatively high corm-extract stimulation of initial growth.
- Recommendation The authors recommend greenhouse and field studies of saffron residues before deciding on associated crops.
