Determination of agricultural and technological traits of some safflower (Carthamus tinctorius l.) genotypes developed by cross breeding

Abstract

In this research, was conducted between 2017 and 2019 at Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University Agriculture Faculty Department of Field Crops, it was aimed to determine some agricultural and technological traits of safflower genotypes developed by cross breeding. For this purpose, 14 F2 genotypes obtained from a cross between Dinçer 5-18-1 cultivar and PI 560161 genotype were used as material and compared to 4 standard cultivars (Dinçer 5-18-1, Balcı, Linas and Olas). According to research findings, seed yield values of genotypes changed between 98.23-171.26 kg da-1, oil content values 30.87-36.66% and oil yield values 33.44-55.80 kg da-1 and showed a wide variation. The highest oil content was obtained from the ECBA-9 genotype (36.66%), while the highest seed yield and oil yield were obtained from the ECBA-13 genotype (171.26 and 55.80 kg da-1 respectively). In this study, it was determined that 5 genotypes (ECBA 6, 7, 9, 10 and 13) are superior of the other genotypes in F2 generation. However, with the other genotypes, both stable and hopeful ones will be determined in the F3 and F4 generations. © 2020, Centenary University. All rights reserved.
