The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research’s (CSIR) National Chemical Laboratory (NCL) has successfully grown saffron crocus in a greenhouse in Pune and seen flowering almost like that in Kashmir.  The saffron from the CSIR-NCL greenhouse is being compared with the Kashmir saffron. The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research’s (CSIR) National Chemical Laboratory (NCL) has successfully grown saffron crocus in a greenhouse in Pune and seen flowering almost like that in Kashmir. The method for high-density greenhouse cultivation of saffron being developed by CSIR-NCL is expected to benefit progressive farmers and agri-biotech industries. C K John, senior scientist from Biochemical Sciences Division at NCL, and his team have been working on developing a biotechnological alternative to the cultivation of saffron, producing a new variety of saffron crocus suitable for wider environmental conditions and standardising the parameters for high-density greenh...
