Borlaug, of the INIFAP, in coordination with the experimental fields of CIRNO and other safflower producing regions, it was registered under the number CAR-020-250615 in the National Catalog of Plant Varieties (CNVV). As response to the demands of producers and industries the variety was obtained with a potential yield of 4 t ha-1 and an oil content of 40%. Chey-ol outperformed the Ciano-ol control material, both in yield and in the quality and quantity of oleic type oil.
