Abstract
The hypothesis of this study was that spring camelina (Camelina sativa L.) could be grown as a high-value crop under the moist, cool conditions of the Maritime Provinces in Canada and seeding date, seeding rate, and type of seeder will modify productivity and oil composition. The objectives were (1) to determine the optimum seeding date and seeding rate for camelina production in the Maritimes; and (2) to evaluate the effect of seeder type (seed drill and forage seeder) on camelina establishment and seed yield. A seeding date and rate experiment and a seeder type and seeding rate experiment were conducted in 2005 and 2006 in Nova Scotia and Prince Edwards Island. Seeding date did not affect camelina emergence, plant height, seed yield and oil content. The earlier seeding date increased the concentration of stearic acid in the oil compared with the later seeding date. Seed yield of camelina was not affected by seeding rate in the seeder type by rate trial but higher yields were observed up to 600 seeds m -2 in the seeding date by rate trial. The weak yield response to seeding rate could be explained by the high yield compensation ability of camelina through branching. It was suggested that seeding rates in the range of 400 to 600 seeds m -2 would likely be best for camelina grown in the Maritime region. The forage seeder provided a better crop stand compared with the seed drill, although both seeders provided satisfactory crop establishment. Camelina has the potential to be produced successfully in the Maritime Provinces due to its adaptability to seeder type, low seeding rate requirements, and a wide window for seeding date. Key words: Camelina, seeding date, seeding rate, seeder type
