Abstract

To evaluate the effect of fertilizers and density of plants on yield and yield components of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius.L) which are the most important factors in integrated plant growth and sustainable management of agroecosystem in sustainable agriculture. This experiment was done factorial in randomized complete design with three replications in research farm of Gardening department Faculty of Agriculture Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz in 2011-2012 growing season. The plots consisted 3 levels of fertilizers a1= 100% biologic fertilizer (Nitroplaskin, Phosphate Barvar-2 and Alkan) a2 = 100% chemical fertilizers (Nitrogen 152 Kg/ha, Phosphorus 108 Kg/ha and Potassium 100 Kg/ha) and a3= biofertilizer with 50% chemical fertilizer. And the other factor, was 3 levels of safflower densities (b1=13, b2=20 and b3=27 plants/m 2 ). Our results showed that the effect of fertilizer and density treatments and their interactions on number of capitula/plant, and the effect of density on harvest indice, oil percentage and oil yield was significant (P≤0.05). The highest seed yield and protein percentage was obtained in combination of biofertilizer with chemical fertilizer treatment. The highest weight of 1000 seeds, biologic yield, oil percentage and oil yield was obtained in biofertilizer treatment and the highest harvest indice and seed core percentage was obtained from chemical fertilizer treatment. In density treatments, the highest biologic yield and protein percent were obtained from 27 plants/m 2 density and the highest seed yield, harvest indice and oil yield were obtained from 20 plants/m 2 density and in 13 plants/m 2 density, the highest traits were the weight of 1000 seeds, number of seeds per capitula and number of capitulas/plant.
