Abstract. Results of research concerning the influence of agrotechnical methods on productivity of plants of Carthamus tinctorius grown under the conditions of irrigation of the South of Ukraine are given in the article. Grounding on the results it was set, that growing of the Carthamus tinctorius on the irrigated lands of southern Ukraine it is necessary to conduct ploughing on a depth 20-22 cm, to use row spacing 30 cm, to conduct sowing in early terms (ІІІ ten-day period of March) and bring in the mineral fertilizers rate N60P60 for achievement of productivity level of seeds within the limits of 2.0-2.5 t/ha. The terms of sowing and fertilizing have most particle of influence on forming of seeds’ productivity.
