The present study was carried out at the Didactic and Experimental Station of the University of Life Sciences “King Michael I” from Timișoara during the 2023–2024 agricultural year, with the aim of evaluating the influence of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization on the productivity of Camelina sativa L. cultivated under the specific conditions of the Banat Plain. The experiment was organized according to a bifactorial design with four replications, where factor A represented nitrogen doses (N0, N40, N80, N120 kg ha⁻¹) and factor B represented phosphorus doses (P0, P40, P80 kg ha⁻¹). The soil of the experimental field was moderately supplied with nitrogen and phosphorus, and well supplied with potassium. Results revealed that both fertilizations had a significant effect on plant growth and seed yield. The highest average yield of 1663 kg ha⁻¹ was recorded in the variant N120P80, representing a 113% increase compared to the unfertilized control (780 kg ha⁻¹). Nitrogen proved to be the dominant factor in determining yield formation, while phosphorus enhanced nitrogen efficiency through a synergistic effect. The results confirm the adaptability of Camelina sativa L. to local pedoclimatic conditions and its responsiveness to rational fertilization, supporting its potential as a sustainable oilseed crop in Western Romania.
