Variety traits

Vegetation period — Camelina sativa

Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz

The vegetation period of Camelina sativa is the time from emergence to full seed maturity, the duration of which determines the crop's place in crop rotation and harvesting technology.

In the reference 8 varieties crop Camelina, where this is mentioned in the description.

For the spring form of Camelina sativa, the vegetation period ranges from 65 to 90 days, which allows harvesting the crop before the start of mass field operations for major grain crops. The winter form has a full development cycle of 295 to 315 days, with the active vegetation period lasting from 98 to 135 days.

Early maturity allows camelina to effectively utilize spring moisture reserves before the onset of summer drought. Depending on the length of the ripening period, varieties are generally classified into early-maturing and mid-maturing, which directly influences the possibility of early field clearance and the optimization of harvesting equipment utilization.
