Abstract:
Camelina sativa has been already recognized as a high potential feedstock for biofuel production. The purpose of the work was to deliver a new camelina genotype/variety with improved productivity and oil content. Starting from a local camelina variety and already classic variety (GP 202), by immature embryo rescue technique and open field randomized hybridization, has been obtained a new line (FP-05-2) with better characteristics (productivity and oil content). The new genotype has been tested for homologation during 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 under Romanian National Homologation Authority (ISTIS). The applied cultivation technology was: spring culture (March to July), seeding rate 8 kg/ha, seeding depth less than 1 cm, fertilization: N50-60, P30-40, K40-50; no treatments has been applied under the testing condition for the homologation. The new genotype has registered up to 20% increased in productivity under Romanian temperate continental climate with heavy winters, while in semi-arid conditions the increase was less significant, even negative. In terms of oil content, in all the location the new line FP-05-2 has registered higher oil content (2.4 ÷ +4.2%). The new line FP-5-07 has passed successfully two years tests and will go for national homologation by the end of 2016. The new line is going to be tested for its potential in other temperate continental European area (Northern Spain, Slovenia). The owners intend to apply for CPVR (Community Plants Variety Rights) at the CPVO (Community Plants Variety Office) and further to large scale production and commercialization of the new genotype.
