Abstract: Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), originating from India, Afghanistan and Ethiopia is a versatile member of the Asteraceae family. It is a significant oilseed crop in India, ranking second among major oilseeds such as groundnut, sesame, mustard, linseed and sunflower. seed is a valuable alternative oil crop due to its high oil content, ranging from 24 to 36 per cent, along with protein content of 11 to 17 per cent, moisture content of 4 to 7 per cent and linoleic acid content of 55 to 70 per cent. A multistage sampling design was utilized for the selection of districts, tehsils, villages and safflower growers. In the initial stage, Parbhani district was purposively selected due to the extensive cultivation of the PBNS-12 safflower variety in this area. In second stage, six villages were selected randomly from the three selected tehsils i.e. two villages each from Parbhani, Selu and Gangakhed tahsils. The selection process were resulted in a total of 60 safflower growers and 60 non-growers from the six villages. The total sample size is 120. Logit or Logistic regression model was used to analysed the significant level and recommended determinants were used in adoption of improved safflower PBNS-12 variety. The result showed that logistics model was fitted to identify potential determinants for adoption of PBNS-12 variety and results were yield, annual income and family size has found significant variables for level of adoption at 5 per cent and 10 per cent respectively.
