Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), a drought tolerant crop, is capable of extracting moisture from deeper layers of soil. In India, more than 80 per cent of safflower is cultivated in Vertisols of Peninsular region during post-rainy season under residual soil moisture conditions. Five Mexican varieties/breeding lines (Ciano-Lin, CCC-B4, RC-1033-L, CCC-B2 and CW-99) were evaluated in 2014-15 under irrigated conditions along with two Indian varieties (NARI-57 and PBNS-12). Significant variation was found between Mexican varieties/breeding lines and Indian varieties with respect to plant height, days to first flowering, number of capitula/plant, seed yield, biological yield, oil content and oil yield. Seed and oil yield of CCC-B2 (2259; 800 kg/ha) was on par with that of NARI-57 (2298; 719 kg/ha). The Ciano-Lin recorded significantly low seed (1266 kg/ha) and oil yield (399 kg/ha)
