Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is a crop that is drought tolerant and grown in arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) for its commercial utility as vegetable oil, animal feed, cut flower, leafy vegetable, pharmaceuticals, foods colorant, textile dye, cosmetics, and biofuel production. These important attributes make safflower an ideal crop to diversify the economy and improve the socioeconomic status of many smallholder farmers in ASALs. This study evaluated the growth, development, and yield of five safflower genotypes in three different locations in the southern part of Botswana under farmers’ fields during winter and summer. The results showed that there was a significant (P ≤ 0.05) genotypic variability for all phenological development (days to emergence, stem elongation, and flowering), plant growth (plant height and shoot biomass), the yield and yield components (number of branches/plant, number of capitula/plant and 1000-seed weight), oil content and oil yield. However, genotypes did not vary significantly (P ≥ 0.05) in number of primary branches/plant. The results showed that winter planting significantly (P ≤ 0.05) promoted safflower growth and yield than planting in summer. The growth, development, yield, and yield components of safflower genotypes varied across locations with Ramonaka being the most favorable. The GGE biplot revealed that genotype Kenya-9819 was found to be the most stable and adaptable with above-average yields. Sebele winter planting was the best representative environment and most suitable for discriminating genotype performance. The genotype by yield*trait combination (GYT) biplot revealed that genotypes ranked as Kenya9819 > Turkey > Sina > PI537636 > Gila. The results suggested that safflower was best planted in winter and that Kenya9819 was the best genotype to be planted in the greater Gaborone region.

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) is an important energy plant whose cultivation has increased in recent years in our country, resistant to drought and has high adaptability. Regarding the phytochemistry of this plant (seed, oil, etc.), it has been determined that there are many components such as flavonoids, antioxidants, total phenol and mineral substance amount, phenylethanoid glycosides, coumarins, vitamin E, fatty acids, sugar and steroids. However, it has been observed that there are very few studies to determine the total phenol, antioxidant and mineral substance content in the leaves. In this study, the total phenol, antioxidant, sugar and mineral substance amounts of different safflower cultivars (Asol, Ayaz, Balcı, Dinçer and Göktürk) widely grown in Turkey in recent years were determined under laboratory conditions. When the data obtained were evaluated, it was found that the total amount of phenols in Asol cultivar was statistically lower (81.33) compared to other cultivars, and it was found to vary between 273.00-392.44 in other cultivars. Among the sugar varieties, the Sucrose ratio was different between the varieties, and accordingly, the highest Sucrose value was determined with 1.87 g in Balcı variety and the lowest Sucrose value with 0.82 g in Ayaz variety. Among the mineral substances, it was determined that the amount of Fe was statistically different between the cultivars, and accordingly, the highest amount of Fe was found in Ayaz cultivar (946.71 mg/kg), the lowest in Balcı (422.83 mg/kg) and Göktürk (444.75 mg/kg) cultivars. The other physiological parameters measured were not statistically different between the cultivars, but the values were found to be 16.58-24.97 µmol for antioxidants, 0.16-0.41 gr for fructose, 0.43-0.63 gr for glucose, 1.76-3.00 for Ca %, and 10.07-13.54 mg/kg for Cu. It was noted that the % contents of, K, Mn and Mg varied between 1.79-3.60, 96.37-105.33 and 0.41-0.97, respectively.
