This study was carried out to investigate the performance of no-tilled,
drip irrigated, second crop safflower under South East Anatolia (Mardin)
conditions. For this aim, a three replicated trial was established in year 2014
with Dincer and Remzibey-05 cultivars. Biomass production was so low and plant
height average was 50 cm. under these conditions. The average seed yield of Dincer
cv. was 503 kg/ha and Remzibey-05 cv. was 488 kg/ha. Plant height of Dincer was
52.9 cm and Remzibey-05 was 47.7 cm. According to the results, it was found
that safflower is a high temperature sensitive plant. With the tested varieties,
no-tilled, drip irrigated, second crop safflower it is not rantabl in South
East Anatolia conditions and can not compete with maize. Breeding effords are
needed to improve the tolerance of safflower to high temperatures to adopt this
crop to this conditions. This study revealed the potential of safflower to
conduct speed breeding activities in that crop with three to four breeding
cycles in one year.
