In safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) breeding, determining superior pure lines after crossing for agrotechnological traits is the first step to improve new cultivar candidates. Therefore, aim of the study was to determine superior pure lines of sufflower in F9-10 derived three intraspecific crosses evaluating the agronomical and technological (quality) traits. A total of 25 safflower genotypes including 15 pure lines was compared with 10 standard cultivars (Dincer 5
