The work was carried out within the framework of the State assignment FNFE-2022-0010 "Creation of new competitive forms, varieties and hybrids of cultivat-ed, woody and shrubby plants with high productivity, quality and increased re-sistance to adverse environmental factors, new innovative technologies in seed production and nursery production, taking into account the varietal characteristics and soil and climatic conditions of arid territories of the Russian Federation."
Abstract (English):
Safflower is a crop capable of withstanding the harsh summer conditions of a sharply continental climate. Its biological properties allow it to produce seeds for the production of vegetable oils suit-able for food and industrial purposes. The objective of this study was to determine the optimal seeding methods and rates for safflower seed production in the chestnut soil zone and dry steppe of Eurasia. It was found that the highest safflower yield was achieved with a row spacing of 15 cm and a seeding rate of 350,000 seeds – 1.13 t/ha. The lowest yield was achieved with a wide-row spacing of 45 cm and a seeding rate of 450,000 seeds/ha – 0.61 t/ha. The study's results are highly significant, as confirmed by statistical analysis.
