Yield of Camelina sativa

Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz

The yield of camelina is determined by seed mass per unit area and productivity components, including plant stand density, number of pods, and 1000-seed weight. An important efficiency indicator is oil yield, which depends on seed yield and oil content.

In the reference 14 varieties crop Camelina, where this is mentioned in the description.

The average yield of spring camelina is 0.8–1.5 t/ha, reaching 1.7–2.1 t/ha under intensive cultivation. Winter forms of the crop possess a higher productivity potential, reaching 2.5–2.8 t/ha, while unfavorable conditions can reduce these figures to 0.8 t/ha or less.

The yield formation of Camelina sativa is influenced by sowing dates, which require early field operations to efficiently utilize spring moisture, as well as the level of mineral nutrition, particularly nitrogen availability. Final productivity is determined by weather conditions during the reproductive period and the choice of preceding crop in the crop rotation.
