The desire of the University of Japan and Iran for saffron
According to ILNA, Professor Yashi Haro Fuji, a leading researcher in the allelopathic (degenerate) study in Japan who visited Zaweh to visit saffron farms, added: “We now plan a plan for saffron allelopathic properties in collaboration with the Trio of Tokyo Universities , Ferdowsi Mashhad and Torbat Heydarieh.
He expressed his satisfaction with his trip to Torbat Heydarieh and Zawah and visited saffron farms. “Considering the vast amount of saffron fields in this area, we will try to joint research projects with Torbat Heydarieh University in the future.”
Referring to his 30-year-old research on allelopathic plants, he explained, “Plants are biodiverse together that produce these compounds that can be effective in treating it.”
Professor Fuji said: Among various herbaceous species, saffron species has a very strong combination of allelopate, which, after several years, results in a reduction in plant yields, which is not economically desirable, and extensive research has to be done on it.
* Russian botanical craving for research on saffron
“I am very keen on researching the saffron plant as one of the most valuable plant species,” said a student at the University of Moscow Botanical Garden.
Elena Kazanova, who traveled to Zaweh city in the form of a tour of saffron, told IRNA: “So far, I have been studying the vegetation of the Caucasus Mountains and I intend to continue my research on saffron bulbs.
