Synopsis

Five candidate and one commercial safflower genotypes were evaluated for yield potential and their assessment for assessed correlation between yield and its component traits during the year 2012-2013. The results revealed that among safflower genotypes, the growth and yield components were statistically non-significant. Correlation studies showed significant (P<0.05) and positive correlation was observed between capsules plant-1 and seed yield plant-1 (r= 0.7979**), plant height and branches plant-1 (r=0.4958*), secondary branches plant-1 and capsules plant-1 (r= 0.7995**), secondary branches plant-1 and seed index (r= 0.4544*), secondary branches plant-1 and seed yield plant-1 (r= 0.0.7400**), seeds capsule-1 and seed yield plant-1 (r= 0.6777**), seed index and seed yield plant-1 (r= 0.6683**). On the other hand, significant and negative association was observed between days to 75% flowering and secondary branches plant-1 (r= -0.5085**), days to 75% flowering and seed index (r= -0.4784*), secondary branches plant-1 and seeds Capsule-1 (r= -0.5318*), days to 90% maturity and seed index (r= -0.4950*). I hope this book will provide huge knowledge to readers about safflower crop.
