- The article provides information about the introduction to Nakhchivan AR and first cultivation of saffron (Crocus sativus L.). For the first time, scientific research works were carried out to study biological development characteristics and economic indicators of planting saffron in Nakhchivan. Searching for new regions and cultivating large areas for partial repayment of our country’s need for this plant is one of today’s important issues. For this purpose, small quantities of bulbs from Bilgah saffron factory were planted in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, and scientific research was started. Experiments have been made to study the effect of the depth of planting, the irradiation and sowing times, the irrigation and water conditions on biological development, flowering and productivity of saffron. Onions of all sizes are planted at depths of 5, 10, 15, 20 cm, keeping 60×10 cm feeding area. All experiments were conducted of the four periods at 15 June, 15 July, 15 August and 1 September with 100 onions in each option. Based on the results of the researches, it is possible to say with confidence that the saffron can be adapted to the sharp continental climate of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and can be planted and grown at different altitudes of the region. Given the high profitability and economic efficiency, we believe that the establishment of saffron plantations in the Autonomous Republic will be very important.
