Abstract | ||
Afield experiment was conducted to investigate the agronomic characteristics of five new introduced safflower genotypes under different plant spacings between plants by using Randomized completely block design in a split plot system with three replications including plant spacing’s(15,25,and 35 cm) as main plots and genotypes (G1:Al-Maiys,G2: Jordanian,G3:400,G4:540 and G5:2081) as sub plots dateof sowing was 2122008 in the farm of field crops Dept.College of Agric.-Tikrit University. The results state superiority of G1 in capitula dimeterplant(26.97mm) and seed yield per unit area (2226.7kgha) .Low value of 1000 seed weight more pronounced in G1 and G2.Decreasing number and dimeter of capitula result from redus spacings between plants ,while high plant density increasing yield by( 25.7 and 66% )for 15cm space compared with (25and 35 cm) within row spacings respectively | ||
