Abstract
Background and Objective: Despite the great interest in camelina, the potential of organic cultivation has not been noticed by researchers. The aim of this study is to evaluate the response of Camelina to the application of compost, iron and zinc levels on the yield and some physiological characteristics of this plant.
Materials and Methods: An experiment was carried out in the form of split plots in the form of a randomized complete block design with 3 replications in the research institute of Zabol University (Zahak) and the research farm of Sistan and Baluchistan University (Zahedan). The main factor includes 4 levels of compost (0, 10, 20, and 30 tons per hectare) and the secondary factor includes 4 levels of micronutrient fertilizer application (non-application, iron at the rate of two per thousand, zinc at the rate of three per thousand, and iron+zinc).
Results: The results showed that the highest number of branches (4.5), diameter of main stem (9.24 mm), number of seeds in silique (17.6), weight of 1000 seeds (1.135 grams), biological yield (4401.5) kg per hectare), harvest index (28.9) and oil percentage (26.3) from the level of 30 tons per hectare of compost and foliar application of iron and zinc, the highest grain yield (1270.3 kg/hectare) and the number of main silique (71) it was obtained from Zahak and the application of 30 tons per hectare of compost and foliar application of iron and zinc.
