Effect of Shade on Agro-Morphological Parameters and Weed Flora of Saffron ( L.) Cultivation in the Semiarid Zone of Eastern Morocco.

Saffron () has been an important medicinal plant since ancient times. This study aimed to seek the optimal light intensity for saffron growth by quantifying the effects of different shade levels on yield, vegetative growth, and weed development in the eastern region of Morocco. The plants were grown for 24 months in full sun (control) and 30%, 50%, and 70% shade.
