RABI CROPS
Safflower
Safflower is a valuable rabi oilseed crop cultivated mainly under rainfed conditions because of its excellent drought tolerance.
Its seeds produce high-quality edible oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids, making it valuable for nutritional and industrial uses.
Safflower fits well into dryland cropping systems and helps diversify farmers’ income in moisture-limited regions.
Why Your Safflower Needs Phosphorus?
Robust Early
Establishment
Phosphorus encourages strong root growth and early crop establishment, improving access to soil moisture.
Optimal Capitulum
Development
Adequate phosphorus supports branching, flowering, capitulum development, and seed filling, leading to higher seed yield.
Superior Rainfed
Efficiency
Balanced phosphorus nutrition improves oilseed quality and enhances nutrient-use efficiency under rainfed conditions.
