Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Safflower growth and yield responded strongly to increasing phosphorus supply.
- Intervention effect Sunflower growth and yield responded strongly to increasing phosphorus supply.
- Association Under phosphorus deficiency, capitula number per plant was the principal yield component affecting safflower oil yield.
- Association Achenes per capitulum was the next most influential component of safflower oil yield under phosphorus deficiency.
- Association Single achene mass was the third ranked component of safflower oil yield under phosphorus deficiency.
- Association Achenes per plant was the major yield component influencing sunflower oil yield.
- Association Seed oil concentration contributed insignificantly to overall yield variation in safflower.
- Association Seed oil concentration contributed insignificantly to overall yield variation in sunflower.
- Association Total nitrogen accumulated was the most important variable in sunflower path coefficient analysis.
- Association Total phosphorus and nitrogen accumulated were both important in safflower path coefficient analysis.
- Recommendation The authors concluded that safflower cannot be considered a low-input oil crop with respect to phosphorus requirement.
