Effects of Fertilizer Doses on Some of the Yield and Quality Components in Camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz]

Aim of the present research was determination of 4 different doses of nitrogen (7.5, 10, 12.5, 15 kg da^-1) and phosphorus (5, 7.5, 10, 12.5 kg da^-1) on some of the yield and quality characteristics of false flax [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz]which was grown in Konya ecological conditions during 2013 spring season. Field trial was set up according to Factorial Design in Randomized Blocks with 3 replications. Results of the study showed statistically importance on the following characteristics; days to flowering, days to harvest, plant height, first capsule height, seed yield, oil ratio and oil yield. Mean of the fertilizer doses showed the ranges; 58.67-69.33 days for days to flowering, 105.33-116.67 days for days to harvest, 83.24-95.28 cm for plant height, 71.00-80.09 cm for first capsule height, 75.33-117.17 for number of capsule per plant, 13.83-16.67 for number of seed per capsule, 0.82-1.06 g for one thousand seed yield, 71.12-197.90 kg da^-1 for seed yield, 24.02-29.33% for oil ratio and 20.87-57.93 kg da^-1 for oil yield. In general mean, increased dose of the nitrogen caused to an increase on days to flowering, days to harvest, plant height and first capsule height while decreasing of number of seed per capsule, seed yield, oil ratio and oil yield. Additionally, increased dose of the phosphorus caused to an increase on number of capsule per plant and number of seed per capsule while decreasing of one thousand seed weight. As a consequence of combined effects, the highest seed yield 197.90 kg da-1 was obtained from 7.5 kg da^-1 dose of nitrogen and same dose of phosphorus, the highest oil ratio 29.33% was obtained from 15.0 kg da-1 dose of nitrogen and 10.0 kg da-1 dose of phosphorus and the highest oil yield 57.93 kg da^-1 was obtained from 7.5 kg da^-1 dose of nitrogen and same dose of phosphorus that are shown as advisable.
