Studies on some growth parameters of Crocus sativus L. sown at different locations in Pulwama, Kashmir

A preliminary study was carried out to assess temporal variation in some important growth parameters of Crocus sativus L. sown at four different locations within Pulwama district of Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir, India. No significant variations were observed in flower diameter, fresh weight of stigma, dry weight of stigma, number of leaves, fresh weight of leaves and dry weight of leaves across these locations. As the climate within the district does not vary much, microclimate within a locality may have resulted in nonsignificant differences recorded in some of these parameters.
