Description Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is an edible oilseed crop mainly cultivated in marginal lands. This study evaluates safflower crop water requirements to understand its feasibility to cultivate under rainfed ecosystem through a field experiment undertaken at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semiarid Tropics research farm, India. Eight improved and stress-tolerant safflower cultivars (five spiny and three non-spiny) were evaluated in Vertisols at three soil depths, that is, shallow: 50%) occurred in shallow soils and also during a rainfall deficit year. Spiny cultivars produced 10%–50% higher seed yield compared to non-spiny cultivars. Growing safflower in medium and deep Vertisols provides opportunities for crop intensification.
