Summary: A 2-year field study was conducted in Montana under dryland conditions to evaluate the effects of stand reduction at rosette and bolting growth stages on camelina grain yield and quality and to determine if camelina has compensatory ability for grain yield after a stand loss. Camelina showed good compensatory ability for grain yield across a wide range of plant ...
Summary: Description of the phenological development of C. sativa is proposed utilizing the extended BBCH (Biologische Bundesantalt, Bundessortenamt and Chemische Industrie) scale (Meier et al., 2009). The different phenological growth stages are described, utilizing both the two- and three-digit BBCH coding system. Link: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1744-7348.2010.00444.x/abstract
Summary: Linseed dodder origins were examined at two locations, two seeding dates and two N levels for productive capacity and seed quality. The fatty acid pattern of the oil was nearly the same in all varieties. The amino acid composition of the protein and the mineral contents of the seeds indicate no influence by the test parameters.

Summary: Two field experiments were conducted (2008 to 2010) in Saskatchewan and Alberta, Canada, to determine the effect of N fertilizer application on camelina plant establishment, seed and straw yield, total N uptake in seed and straw, seed oil and protein concentration, N fertilizer use efficiency and percent recovery of applied N (%NR) in seed. Camelina responded to fairly high ...
Summary: Influence of joint applications of nitrogen and sulphur on Camelina was studied. Increasing levels of nitrogen reduced the oil content of seeds but increased the protein content. Increased levels of sulphur only slightly stimulated the oil content. A negative correlation was discovered between the oil and protein content in the seeds. Increasing N levels significantly increased the total oil ...
Summary: Camelina holds unique agronomic traits which could substantially reduce and possibly eliminate requirements for tillage and annual weed control. Its compatibility with reduced tillage systems, cover crops, its low seeding rate and competitiveness with weeds could enable Camelina not only to have the lowest input cost of any oilseed, but also be compatible with the goals of reducing energy ...
