Safflower Breeding Activities in Bahri Dagdas International Agricultural Research Institute

Abstract

One of the main reasons why safflower is not widely planted is that its yield is very low. Suddenly increasing temperatures and drought during growth and development stages of safflower planted in arid areas affect adversely yield. Why yield of safflower is low is that currently registered varieties are still planted in spring of the Central Anatolia and the most of course of its development stage in the spring coincides with period of drought, lack of rain. Populations from USA gene bank and Turkish land races were fall planted to be exposed to cold tests under the field conditions of Konya, during the growing seasons from 2008 to 2015. Some of safflower lines selected from fall planted nurseries were superior to the spring planted counterparts, 50 % higher yielding. On the other hand, spring type germplasm development is still main priority of our safflower breeding program. In this context, we already improved a spring type safflower line, namely BDYAS-4, with oil content of 35-37 % and showing better yield performance than currently registered cultivars do. Finally, this line was registered as GÖKTÜRK in 2016.
