Sustainable Cultivation Strategies Executive Teleconference Recap
Recap of the Sustainable Cultivation Strategies executive board teleconference led by Myrsini Christou from CRES, funded under the Horizon 2020 Programme. The teleconference discussed tasks related to geographic crop allocation, screening trials, sowing strategies, irrigation/fertilization trials, crop rotation, field tests, and industry-oriented supply chain scenarios. Progress updates on crop growth and development were provided by partners CRES and DLO.

WP3: Sustainable cultivation strategies Executive Board Teleconference June 22, 2015 Myrsini Christou CRES Funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Union
Organisation Duration: Months: 1-54 Partners: CRES , DLO, LINNAEUS, UNIBO, UWM Work breakdown: Task 3.1: Geographic allocation of crops (M1-54) (CRES, DLO, UNIBO, UWM) Task 3.2: Screening trials (M1 M54) (UNIBO, DLO, CRES, UWM) Task 3.3: Sowing dates/strategies (M12 M48) (CRES, DLO, UNIBO, UWM) Task 3.4: Irrigation/fertilisation trials (M12 M54) (CRES, UWM) Task 3.5: Sustainable crop rotation strategies (M12 54) (UNIBO, CRES, UWM) Task 3.6: Large fields tests under real operational conditions (M25 M54) (UWM, CRES, UNIBO) Task 3.7: Scenarios for selected, industry-oriented, raw materials supply chains (M36 M54) (DLO, CRES, UNIBO, UWM) 2
Progress of work Duration: Months: 1-4 Partners: CRES , DLO, LINNAEUS, UNIBO, UWM Task 3.1: Geographic allocation of crops (M1-54) (CRES, DLO, UNIBO, UWM) Databases like Corine Land Cover, Soil Geographical Database, etc. will be used CRES The work is progressing based on literature data. 3
Progress of work Partner: CRES, GR Crops Sowing date Distance between rows Seeding rate Crambe April 6 2015 15 cm 15 kg/ha Camelina April 6, 2015 15 cm 15 kg/ha, target 500 plants/m2 Establishment rate 220 seeds/m2 500 seeds/m2 Growth data (average height if available) Growth stage (at the moment) Comments on the state of the crops, problems, solutions sought, etc. 50 cm 50-70 cm Almost full maturity Seed set to 70% maturity Limited growth due to high temperatures very early in the season. Similar heights and progress of growth for all varieties. Large variability in growth maturity among the different varieties Lodging problems in some varieties mainly due to late rainfalls 4
Progress of work Partner: DLO, NL Crops Sowing date Distance between rows Seeding rate Crambe April 17, 2015 15 cm 10 kg/ha Camelina April 17, 2015 15 cm 6-10 kg/ha, target 500 plants/m2 72% (29/4), 72 % (29/4) = 361 pl/m2 To be measured Establishment rate 60% (29/4); 83 % (5/4) = 138 pl/m2 To be measured Growth data (average height if available) Growth stage (at the moment) Comments on the state of the crops, problems, solutions sought, etc. flowering flowering and seed set some compaction causing yellow plant, amount of compaction scored per plot; some compaction causing yellow plant, amount of compaction scored per plot. No effect now it's flowering No effect now it's flowering Some variegation of leaves on a low fraction of Linnaeus varieties, not on DLO-variety (virus?). To be followed up 5
Progress of work Partner: UNIBO, IT Crops Sowing date Distance between rows Seeding rate Crambe 01/04/2015 0.13 m 1.3 g/m2(average 220 seeds/m2) 500 seeds/m2 Camelina 30/03/2015 0.13 m Establishment rate 34 % full emergence completed at DAS 33 0.87 full growth surveyed at 10/06/2015 End of flowering, beginning of seed feeling stage 47% full emergence completed at DAS 33 Growth data (average height if available) Growth stage (at the moment) 1.17 (full growth surveyed at 16/06/2015) Almost full maturity in some cultivar, probably on the 22/06/2015 we will start harvesting the more mature genotypes Comments on the state of the crops, problems, solutions sought, etc. The crops is looking good, it is going to be at least 2/3 week later than camelina Some cultivars (WURZ015001, 13CS0787-09, 13CS0787-15) show some lodging problems, in some other pods have started to shatter (mainly those on the main raceme), some plants showed downy mildew attack (the rate of attack has been visually assessed, the more sensitive are 13CS0789-02, 14CS0887, Omega) 6
Progress of work Partner: UWM, PL Crops Sowing date Distance between rows Seeding rate Crambe 15/04/2015 0.15 m 1.3 g/m2(approx. 202 seeds/m2) 37% full emergence completed at DAS 33 0.55 m at 17/06/2015 Camelina 15/04/2015 0.15 m 500 seeds/m2 Establishment rate 43% full emergence completed at DAS 33 0.87 m (at 17/06/2015) Growth data (average height if available) Growth stage (at the moment) Part of crops on end phase of stem elongation; some are on inflorescence emergence; few on beginning of flowering End of flowering phase; some cultivars starting to develop fruits Comments on the state of the crops, problems, solutions sought, etc. The crops is in good condition, however due to drought in Poland they developing worse than camelina Good growth, no lodging problem at the moment 7
