Productivity of Camelina sativa

Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz

The productivity of Camelina sativa is determined by seed yield, which depends on crop structure and photosynthetic activity, and varies from 0.5 to 3.0 t/ha depending on conditions and agronomic practices.

In the reference 5 varieties crop Camelina, where this is mentioned in the description.

The main structural indicators of Camelina sativa productivity are plant stand density, the number of pods per plant, the number of seeds per pod, and the 1000-seed weight. An important physiological factor is the net photosynthetic productivity, which directly correlates with seed oil content and total biomass accumulation.

Under production conditions, the average yield of the crop is 1.0–1.5 t/ha. Values of 2.0–2.1 t/ha and above are considered high, while the potential of modern varieties reaches 3.0 t/ha. Low yields of 0.5–0.7 t/ha are recorded under adverse agroclimatic conditions, such as severe drought.

Productivity formation is significantly influenced by moisture availability, sowing dates and seeding rates, as well as the application of mineral fertilizers, particularly nitrogen, which can increase yields by up to 1.0 t/ha. The resistance of Camelina to stress factors is manifested in its ability to maintain yield structure elements under adverse environmental conditions.
