Abstract


Twenty-eight gonotypes of Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) were evaluated under rainfod and irrigated systems of cropping. The D analysis has revealed that twenty oight genotypes formed into as many as nine and thirteen clustors under rainted and irrigated cropping systems. There is some amount of parallelism in the genotypes, PI 248849 and PI 209291, not only in the clustering but also the distance between the clusters. The path analysis indicated that number of branches and number of heads per plant are the important contributing factors for yield both directly and indirectly. The genotypes K-1. Pl 199901 and PI 248827 are the desirable types for these traits.
