Different studies on Safflower under rain-fed condition has been showed that winter planting always has more seed yield as compare to spring planting in drylands of Iran. Due to high adaptability, safflower can be in rotation with Wheat and Checkpea. To evaluate advance varieties on farmer fields this study carried out with 7 promising varieties of safflower along with check variety (Zarghan 279) in winter planting of three locations of Kermanshah province vizBisetoon, Kozaran and Slamabad in farmer fields under rainfed condition. This experiment was in RCBD with 3 replications each variety was planted in 8 rows with 6 m length and 30 cm row spacing. The results showed that PI-537598 had the highest seed and oil yield in Slamabad ( 642.5 and 181.6 Kg/ha respectively) and Kozaran ( 651.1 and 189.8 Kg/ha respectively). In Beseton difference between its seed yield and highest seed yield was non-significant. Zarghan 279 (check variety) had the lowest seed and oil yield in Kozaran and Slamabad and was 5th and 7th variety in seed and oil yield locations. This variety showed the lowest oil content in all locations and in average had 4.23 per cent lower than high oil content variety. So, Zarghan 279 (check variety) is not suitable variety for winter planting in rain-fed condition in these areas. PI-537598 is recommended to plant as winter crop in these areas.
