Abstract

The experiment was conducted on â�?�?morpho â�?�? physiological parameters of different genotypes of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) at various phenophases.â�? to find out the traits associated with higher oil and seed yield in rabi season 2021-22 at research cum instruction farm of IGKV Raipur, in the department of plant physiology, agricultural biochemistry, Medicinal and aromatic plants. Collage of agriculture, Raipur. 25 (including 3 checks) genotype of safflower was used in RBD replicated thrice for phenological morphophysiological and yield attributes related to higher yield. The morpho-physiological and yield attributes associated with high seed yield and HI were closely and positively associated with â�?�?leaf area, LAI, CGR, number of branches per plant, number of capitulum per plant, capitulum diameter, capitulum weight, number of seeds per capitulum and test weightâ�?. Long duration genotypes IVHT-20-21 have shown high yield as compared to short duration IVHT-20-7 (short duration) indicated early phenophases and shorter duration of flowering and capitulum filling was found to be not desirable for high seed yield.
