Abstract


The results of the field experiments in safflower conducted in deep black soils under rainfed conditions at Jalgaon (Maharashtra) during the Kharif seasons of 1977-78 to 1979-20 showed that the differences in grain yield due to seed rates were significant while the differences in yield due to sowing dates were not significant. Irrespective of seasons, sowing safflower at seed rates ranging from 5.0 to 12.5 kg/ha resulted" in marginal variation in its yield. The first fortnight of October was found to be the best period for sowing of safflower in Jalgaon region of Maharashtra.
