A flower that smells of bread
According to IRNA, the vast land of Iran, due to its geographical location and climatic diversity, has accommodated different plant species. Currently, 8,000 plant species have been identified in Iran, of which more than 2,200 species have medicinal, health and cosmetic properties. has it.
Mohammadi flower is one of the plants that has always been considered due to its various therapeutic and health properties, including its use as a rose in religious ceremonies and its role in protecting the environment and natural resources.
Most people think that Mohammadi flower grows as a “car”, while this flower, like other garden products, can be planted and harvested and can be used to earn money. In Kurdistan, a young man from the village of Arandan in Sanandaj province Seeks to generate income through the cultivation of Mohammadi flowers.
“Farzan Ahmadi”, who is now 24 years old, thought about a new job and income after changing several jobs that did not bring him much income. It was hard and painful for me to leave home at 6 in the morning for a small income and work for a small amount of money until late at night.
Before thinking of planting Mohammadi flowers, this young Kurd had worked in other jobs such as kitchen cabinets, visitors and SNAP, but he was not satisfied with any of these jobs and said that he would like to have an agricultural production job to Reach a steady income.
I asked Farzan about the income of the cabinet-making job, and he said: “The income of this job is very good, but for someone who owns a job and has the necessary equipment for this job, but for me, who worked for a daily wage, he did not have much income.”
The young man decided to start his work after consulting with these people and agricultural experts after a long research on planting Mohammadi flower bushes through the Internet and identifying the people who work in it.
Farzan says: “Because it was the first time I started such a job, I was thinking whether I could continue this work permanently, increase national production, export this product in the future and on the path to wealth creation.” Shall I take a step?
“I took the plot of land from my father and started my work one autumn morning by creating 70 cm canals on the ground,” he said of how he started his new job.
The young entrepreneur added about the difficulty: Mohammadi flower bushes are very sensitive in the freezing season, and I had to use fertilizers such as animal manure and mushroom compost, which both increase the durability of the flowers against the cold and are a kind of strengthener. Shrubs should grow so that the cold does not penetrate and do not disappear.
Mohammadi flower shrubs are very adaptable to the favorable environmental conditions, and fertile soil, regular irrigation and proper fertilization are very effective in growing these flowers.
Farzan also said about the water needed to cultivate these shrubs: the amount of rainfall in these areas has decreased for several years, but planting these flowers does not require much irrigation, so that watering only twice a year is enough.
Regarding plant care for this type of plant, he said: “Mohammadi flower pests are the same as other flowers, and the most important pests and diseases of this plant are green sprouts, horned beetles and white aphids, which in consultation with experts in the field of agriculture.” They can be controlled.
Existence of suitable climate and soil in most parts of Iran has caused our country to be the habitat of many plant species and this issue has caused wise and knowledgeable people to discover the benefits of different plants in addition to creating jobs and generating income from them. Use to treat many aches and pains.
Kurdistan is one of the most prone provinces in the country for the cultivation of medicinal plants such as rosemary. The type of flower can be considered.
Mohammad Moradi, the executor of the medicinal plants development project of Sanandaj Agricultural Jihad Office, pointing out that many species of medicinal plants, including Mohammadi flower, are compatible with the climatic conditions of the province, said: On average, 400 tons of flowers are prepared dry.
He said: in order to help the entrepreneurs of the province, by paying low interest rate bank facilities and delivering free or subsidized seedlings and providing instructions and technical and supervisory recommendations, farmers working in this field will be supported.
Moradi added: “Currently, there are 5 processing units in Kurdistan province with a capacity of 4,500 tons of herbal liqueurs, part of which is dedicated to the production of essential oils from Mohammadi flowers.”
Due to the favorable climatic conditions and special topographic conditions of Kurdistan province, this province has suitable conditions for cultivation and development of various plant species, so we should try to make farmers tend to plant these crops, which requires the support of agricultural jihad officials for youth. It is like “Farzan”.
