Abstract

Introduction: Camelina is a known oil plant from the family Brassicaceae Burnett. In recent years, interest in the cultivation of this species has increased. This is due to the high tolerance of camelina to unfavorable environmental conditions and the possibility of versatile crop utilization. Special feature of this plant is its easy adaptation to various soil and climatic conditions. The aim of the research was to determine the reaction of the camelina to different foliar fertilization with macroelements. The research hypothesis assumed that the applied fertilizer combinations would have a modifying effect on the size and quality of seed yield and would be economically justified.
Material and methods: To investigate the effect of different amounts of nitrogen and potassium fertilizers on the yield and quality of Camelina plant oil, an experiment was carried out in the agricultural year 2022 in Shahindej city. The experiment was factorial based on a completely randomized block design. The test factors included nitrogen fertilizer at three levels (0, 50, and 100 kg/ha), and the second factor was potassium fertilizer at three levels (0, 25, and 50 kg/ha), which Four repetitions were performed.
Results and discussion: The results of mean comparisons showed that the level of 100 kg/ha of urea fertilizer increased the number of capsules, 1000 seed weight, biological yield, harvest index, oil percentage, oil yield, protein percentage, and protein yield by 40.60, 68.00, 18.25, 158.29, 10.90, 52.00, 27.27, and 114.5% compared to the control treatment. Also, the increase of the mentioned traits in the treatment of using 50 kg/ha of potash fertilizer was 19.31, 41.75, 21.71, 31.36, 22.12, 87.69, 16.26, and 85.83% respectively. The mean comparison of the interaction treatments showed that the maximum plant height, the number of sub-branches, the number of seeds in the capsule, and the seed yield were recorded in the treatment using 100 kg/ha of urea along with the levels of 50 and 25 kg/ha of potash fertilizer. In this study, the difference between the treatment of applying 100 kg/ha of urea fertilizer with 50 and 25 kg/ha of potash with the treatment of 50 kg/ha of urea fertilizer with 50 kg/ha of potash was not significant in terms of grain yield. Therefore, considering the environmental effects of urea, it is recommended to use 50 kg/ha of urea along with 50 kg/ha of potash to achieve the maximum economic performance of Camelina. The biplot analysis showed that the first two components explained 91.5% of the data variation. Finally, the treatment of 50 kg/ha of urea along with 50 kg/ha of potash was recognized as the most appropriate treatment.
Conclusions: It can be stated that with the application of 50 kg/ha of nitrogen fertilizer and 50 kg of potassium fertilizer, the same yield can be obtained that can be obtained from the application of 100 kg/ha of nitrogen fertilizer along with 50 kg of potassium fertilizer, also the maximum yield of oil in the treatment of using 50 kg/ha of nitrogen fertilizer and 50 kg/ha of potassium fertilizer were obtained. It can be concluded that the application of the mentioned two levels, in addition to having a positive effect on the yield and yield components of seed and oil, led to the achievement of the maximum mentioned economic traits, they are also the most favorable treatment from an economic and environmental point of view.
