1000-Seed Weight: Camelina (Camelina sativa)

Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz

The 1000-seed weight of Camelina sativa indicates seed plumpness and quality, typically ranging from 0.9 to 1.65 g.

In the reference 3 varieties crop Camelina, where this is mentioned in the description.

The 1000-seed weight of Camelina sativa is generally between 1.1 and 1.4 g; however, in specific cultivars such as the winter variety 'Baron', this value can reach 1.60–1.65 g. Values below 0.9–1.0 g are considered an indication of shriveled seeds, often caused by unfavorable weather conditions or diseases during the crop development period.

This indicator is a key parameter for accurately calculating the seeding rate of this small-seeded crop. Heavier seeds possess a larger nutrient reserve, which ensures better germination energy and the formation of more uniform seedlings; however, this value is highly plastic and significantly depends on water availability during the grain-filling stage.
