Abstract
ABSTRACT Camelina sativa is an oilseed crop that produces large quantities of oil and has several agronomic traits that are advantageous. Recently, C. sativa has gained attention as a feedstock for biofuel production because of these properties. Different studies have been performed in many countries to improve C. sativa yield. In this study, we focused on using soil-dwelling bacteria to improve the yield of C. sativa. C. sativa were inoculated with Bacillus species and studied. Plants inoculated with bacteria showed higher pod numbers when compared with the uninoculated control. In comparison with the control, bacterial inoculation increased the seed yield (633 g m−2) by about threefold. These results suggest that the yield of C. sativa can be improved by incorporating bacteria in its cultivation.
