Abstract :This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of late-spring and late-autumn sowing times on oil content, seed yield and some yield components of three safflower insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Carthamus tinctorius L.); varieties at Field Crops Department, Agricultural Faculty of Ankara University. Yenice, Dinçer and Remzibey-05 safflower varieties were sown on 19 November 2004 and 20 May 2005. According to results of this research; plant height 111.47 and 59.93 cm, capitula number per plant 15.57 and 8.58, secondary branch number per plant 6.26 and 5.07, seed number per capitula 30.18 and 28.67, a thousand seed weight 35.62 and 38.24 g, seed yield 200.74 and 112.30 kg/da, harvest index 30.09 and 30.46 %, oil content 26.75 and 22.14 % and oil yield 53.87 kg/da and 23.03 kg/da were recorded in late-autumn and late-spring sowing, respectively. The highest seed yield and, oil content and yield were obtained from cv. Dinçer and cv. Dinçer and cv. Remzibey-05, respectively. The effect of late-autumn sowing on plant height, capitula number, secondary branch number, seed yield, oil content and oil yield were positive and significant statistically. The increasing ratio of these characters in late-autumn sowing according to late-spring sowing was 86.14%, 81.38%, 5.68%, 80.00% , 21.03% and 119.10%, respectively.
