5 promised safflower lines selected from adaptability trials were evaluated as winter crop along with released cultivar of Sina at two farmers field in Maragheh and Kaleb Kandi from East-Azarbaijan. There was no significant difference between lines regarding all studied traits but thousand kernel weight in the both sites. There was no plant stand during fall and winter because of exceptional low rainfall during October and November 2010. Investigation in the spring showed that seeds which remaind dormantly in the soil over fall and winter had been damaged partly by pests and birds. It was concluded that it is possible to produce about 700 kg/ha grain yield in the worst conditions of fall precipitation in the cold drylands using promised cold tolerant safflower lines.
