Abstract

Background and Objective: Worldwide, the demand for oilseeds is steadily increasing. Camelina, a new oil plant, and its useful agronomic properties, with regard to sustainable agriculture, have recently aroused interest in this oil plant. Despite the great interest in camelina, the potential of organic cultivation has not been noticed by researchers.
 
Materials and Methods: 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. For this purpose, 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 (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). Was Compost treatment before cultivation was calculated for each plot and mixed with soil and iron and zinc foliar spraying was done in two stages (stemming and before stemming).
 
Results: The results showed that the highest number of branches (4.5), diameter of main stem (9.24 mm), number of seeds in khorjin (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 sorghums (71) It was obtained from the place of drainage and surface application of 30 tons per hectare of compost and foliar application of iron and zinc. The yield of seeds in Zahak and Zahedan was 33.8% and 38.8%, respectively, compared to the control (no application of compost and iron and zinc foliar spraying) and the percentage of oil with the application of 30 tons per hectare of compost and iron and zinc foliar spraying was 2/2. has increased by 45%.
 
Conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that the application of compost and the consumption of iron and zinc together have been able to provide the necessary conditions to increase the yield of camelina plant.
