P. PADMAVATHI and S. M. VIRMANI

Twenty years (1990-2010) of climatic data of safflower growing region of India (Indore and Solapur) and Mexico (Hermosillo and Ciudad Oberagon) were used to tind out the trend and were related to productivity in the respective countries. The safflower growing environment were characterised and adapation measures are suggested under changing climatic condition in both the countries.
