Variety traits

Plant height — Camelina sativa

Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz

An important biometric indicator of Camelina productivity, ranging from 30 to 120 cm depending on the genotype and environmental conditions.

In the reference 11 varieties crop Camelina, where this is mentioned in the description.

The plant height of Camelina sativa typically ranges from 30–120 cm, with values of 30–80 cm being common for most varieties. This indicator is highly dependent on moisture availability and the level of mineral nutrition: in drought years with high temperatures, plants develop less intensively and have a shorter height.

Measurements are taken from the soil surface to the top of the inflorescence at the full maturity stage or before harvest. This parameter is used by breeders as an element of yield structure, as there is a direct correlation between plant height and seed yield under favorable conditions.

Camelina is distinguished by a sturdy, branching stem that possesses sufficient rigidity and typically does not lodge, which facilitates the harvesting process. The short stature of certain varieties is considered a varietal trait that does not create critical issues during technological processing.
