Analyze the effects of planting distances on the performance of Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) varieties

Abstract

Safflower crop (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is one of the genera that belongs to the Asteraceae family, also called the Compositae family, which is considered the largest family of flowering plants, containing 22 000 species extending from annuals to perennials. The analysis was led at the Muthanna College Exploration Station-School of Horticulture in the colder time of year season 2021-2022, to study the evaluation of the performance of Safflower varieties (Iranian & local) under the influence of planting distances (10, 15, and 20) cm, Explore was done utilizing a totally randomized plan RCBD and with three replications. Results of the statistical analysis showed that the distance of 20 cm was significantly superior to plant height 133.17 cm, number of branches 9.83 branches of per Plant, number of seeds reached, 552 seeds of per Plant and seed yield per Plant 17.33 g of per Plant. The outcomes demonstrated to the ethical predominance of the neighborhood class, giving the most elevated normal for the quantity of timberlands of normal 8.00 parts of per Plant, and yield of seeds 15.44 g per plant.
