to investigate the relationship between different traits, discover factors affecting this relationship and to identify components of seed yield in cultivated and wild safflower genotypes, this investigation was conducted at isfahan university of technology research farm under two different water regimes during 2008. significant differences were observed between genotypes belonged to the two spe...

in order to evaluation the effect of planting date on development stages and some characteristics of spring safflower varieties, an experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design with six replications at the kabotar abbad research station, isfahan during two growing seasons of 2006-2007 and 2007-2008. three safflower varieties such as arak, sofea and goldasht c...

in order to evaluate the effect of water stress and plant density on growth and seed yield of safflower, a study was conducted during 2009 growing season at agricultural college of shiraz university. the experimental design was split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. the treatments were deficit irrigation (100, 75, and 50% of field capacity-fc) as main plot...

We conducted this study to examine the effects of safflower seed granular tea containing physiologically active polyphenols on antioxidative activities and bone metabolism. Forty postmenopausal women ages 49 to 64-years were recruited from Daegu and Gyeongbuk and were randomly assigned to either a safflower tea supplement (Saf-tea) group (n = 27) or a placebo group (n = 13). The Saf-tea group r...

Oilseeds and edible oils are two of the most sensitive essential commodities. Oilseeds are important sources of edible oils of nutritional, industrial, and pharmaceutical importance. Groundnut, mustard/rapeseed, sesame, safflower, linseed, niger seed, castor are the major traditionally cultivated oilseeds. Soybean and sunflower have gained high importance in recent years, while coconut is most ...

Too often crop production is facing with different intensity of cold damage. In some years the damage is severe and has a large social and economic consequence. Therefore, selection and introduction of cold tolerant cultivars is very effective in reducing cold damage and increasing crop production. Frequently, in winter safflower yield trails in Isfahan province, depending on the intensity of w...

safflower is a crop native to iran and could be improved in plant breeding programs by inter-specific crosses. this study was conducted to evaluate genotypes of safflower derived from interspecific hybridization for the relationships between some agronomic traits and yield components. the genotypes were planted according to a randomized complete block design with three replications at the resea...

expansion of oilseeds cultivation plays an important role in provision of the required edible oils for a country's population. iran is one of the origins safflower as a drought and salt tolerant crop, and therefore, it can be counted on as a suitable alternative crop for cultivation in marginal areas. the aims followed in the present research were on evaluation and selection of late season...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different dietary levels of full fat safflower seed (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% of diet) on performance, carcass characteristics and selected blood metabolites of broiler chickens from arbor acres plus strain. the experiment was designed with 350 commercial one-day-old male broiler chickens using completely randomized design with 5 dietary treatment...
