Germplasm, Safflower, VariabilityAbstract
A set of 30 safflower germplasm accessions and two checks were evaluated to study the variability for nine agromorphological traits. Based on better performance than the check varieties, accessions for seed yield (4), oil content (8) and bold capitula with high seed number (5) were identified for utilization in breeding.
