Abstract:A two-year (2008–2009) field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of irrigation management and weed control on yield and yield components of safflower. The experiment was conducted as a split-split plot arranged in a randomized blocks design with three replications. There were two treatments (weedy and weed free) and four irrigation interval water managements (7 days for all stages, 15, 22 and 28 days after six-leaf stages). The results indicated that grain yield was 29% higher in weed-free plots than in weedy plots. Weed competition reduced yield components such as primary branches, petal weight and number of capitulum per plant. Increasing the irrigation interval to 15 days at the six-leaf stage had no significant effects on grain yield, but grain yield decreased by 18 and 29.8% with increases in the irrigation interval to 22 and 28 days, respectively. An increased irrigation interval >15 days had negative effects on yield components like number of capitulum per plant, petal weight and number of primary branches. The highest grain yield (3703 kg ha?1) was obtained in the weed-free plot, and there was no significant difference between 7- and 15-day irrigation intervals.
