In this Thesis the cultivation of crocus (saffron) plant in Greece were investigated. Emphasis is placed on the mechanical equipment that is used on the different stages of the cultivation process. The processes of growing and harvesting the flowers are described in detail. Its purpose is to gather information on the cultivation management in Greece, over the years. The research was based upon the international and the Greek bibliography and in personal communications. Crocus sativus L. is the only species of crocus cultivated worldwide. It is propagated exclusively with corms and its biological circle is composed of the period of activity and the period of dormancy. According to the research that has been done, concerning its requirements on different conditions, it is a plant with high adaptability. Its performance is related to various soil, climate and ecological factors. The cultivation of the Greek saffron is happening for its excellent quality red-colored stigmas that are a product of flavoring, aromatic and medical use. It is very important that the producer familiarizes with this kind of cultivation, which is based on a traditional cultivating method. There is no extensive scientific research, regarding to the preparation and the planting of the soil, the appropriate care requirement during the growing season, the harvest and the following procedures of processing the product. The harvesting of crocus is done by hand, despite the efforts of mechanization, by manufacturing various types of machinery. It is a tedious process that requires expertise workers. Thus, the problem of the crocus mechanical harvest is in collaboration with the cultivators life quality.
