Magnesium sulphate leaf fertilisation in case of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) increased plant height, and with it the assimilation surface, considerable in every tested taxon. It also affected the number of flowers and total seed yield favourably. In the same time, individual seed yield decreased with lower composite flower size. Spineless taxons with whole-edged leaves had higher seed yield than spiny types. Their linolic acid content was, however inferior to that of the spiny types.
