Abstract


The re-evaluation of 21 clite safflower entries was made under both field and cages conditions at different locations for their reaction to aphid Uroleacon compositae T. Six entries viz.. SSF-141, GMU-4608, 4625, 4627. JLSF-409 and 406 with comparatively good seed yield and less aphid population were identified as resistant to aphid. These entries could be exploited in breeding programme to develop high yielding safflower varieties with tolerance to aphids.
