“…The available data concern mainly soil fertilization with nitrogen and sulfur, and with boron as a micronutrient. Kumari et al [35] showed that the combined fertilization of 40 N kg ha −1 and 20 S kg ha −1 allowed the obtaining of the highest camelina seed and oil yield. In the study of Jiang et al [30], the optimal nitrogen dose ranged from 120 to 160 kg ha −1 .…”

Camelina (Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz) is an oil plant that can increase farmland biodiversity in many parts of the world. In addition to food importance, it is a good alternative in biofuel production. The aim of the experiment was to evaluate the response of camelina, the variety Śmiłowska (spring form), to various foliar fertilization. The combined application of three fertilizers had the most positive effect on the tested features and economic result: urea (46% N), magnesium sulfate (16% MgO + 32% SO3), and Plonvit R (multi-component fertilizer). The obtained increase in seed yield after the application of the above variant was 0.54 t ha−1, i.e., 37.5% compared to the control. The remaining fertilization combinations did not have a significant effect on seed yield, which amounted on average to 1.66 t ha−1. The yield of fat and protein amounted to 0.68 t·ha−1 and 0.42 t ha−1, respectively, and was strongly correlated with seed yield. The yielding of the variety Śmiłowska was stable over the years of the study. The combined use of three foliar fertilizers (variant H) increased the SPAD (soil plant analysis development) and LAI (leaf area index) values compared to the control. The application of urea alone reduced crude fat content in the seeds.
