Production of original seeds of winter camelina and evaluation of its efficiency

Abstract

Camelina is an oilseed crop, the distinguishing feature of which is its unpretentiousness, early maturity, and stable productivity. Camelina oilseeds are widely demanded by manufacturers of edible and technical oils. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was a set of methods: analysis and synthesis, monographic, abstract-logical, computational-constructive. The article presents a technological scheme for growing original winter camelina seeds, presents the structure of production costs, and calculates the main indicators of growing efficiency. The object of research was the winter camelina variety Baron, bred by the Penza Research Institute of Agriculture. To assess the cost of production, labor costs per unit of area, net income and profitability of production, an account of all the main costs of cultivation of camelina was carried out. The total production costs per hectare of seed crops of winter camelina amounted to 29717.9 rubles. Based on the average yield over 5 years (17.5 c / ha), the production cost of 1 c of original camelina seeds is 1698.16 rubles. Net profit from sowing on an area of 10 hectares amounted to 2502.8 thousand rubles. The expected level of profitability of the production of original seeds reached 842%. The return on sales in our calculations was 89.3%.
