Evaluation of Growth and Development of Safflower under Semiarid Greenhouse Environments

Industry supporter: Syngenta Biotechnology, Inc.

PIs: Charlotte Romo, Plant Sciences, Dr. Chieri Kubota, Plant Sciences and Dr. Gene Giacomelli, Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering

The objective of this study is to evaluate the growth and development of safflower under contained environments such as greenhouse for potential year round production. Specific objectives include comparison of growth and yield of safflower plants as affected by planting date, cultivar, different day temperature settings, and short-day treatment during vegetative stage.

Cooperators: Mark Kroggel, Dr. Lewis Kamiri (Syngenta Biotechnology, Inc.), and Dr. Donald Walters (Syngenta Biotechnology Inc.)
