Anbautipps

Deep taproot (2-3 m) makes safflower ideal for dryland rotations where it accesses residual subsoil moisture.

Avoid high-humidity regions -- wet conditions during flowering cause severe head rot and alternaria.

Choose high-oleic varieties for premium cooking oil markets; high-linoleic for industrial applications.
