A field experiment was carried out during 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 seasons in Agriculture farm, Sebha University, Libya to study the response of some safflower varieties(S , Giza and Dem ) to fertilization by 350 1 137 farm yard manure (FYM) combination with mineral nitrogen fertilizers (0 ton FYM+105 kg N, 1.538 ton FYM +95kgN, 3.076 ton FYM +85 kg N, 4.614 ton FYM + 75 kg N, 6.152 ton FYM + 65...

Water deficit is one of the major stresses affecting plant growth and productivity worldwide. Plants induce various morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular changes to adapt to the changing environment. Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), a potential oil producer, is highly adaptable to various environmental conditions, such as lack of rainfall and temperatures. The objective of...

The requirement of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L., variety Alexandrite) for 14 nutrients was studied by the method plants functional diagnostics. possibility using this diagnostics assessing state plants, as well ecological shown. This is based on chloroplasts suspension photochemical activity. It found that deficient in such mineral elements Zn, Mg, Cu, Mo, N, KS. Doses foliar feeding were...

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is an underestimated and multipurpose crop resistant to environmental stresses. Its oil presents useful chemical–physical properties, potentially exploitable for industrial purposes as a bio-based lubricant. In this work safflower was applied less toxic alternative mineral-based hydraulic fluids. The extracted partially refined the antioxidant tert-buthylhydr...
