Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate seed quality and agronomic performance of crambe (Crambe abyssinica) at different sowing dates and depths. The cultivar FMS Brilhante was evaluated in four sowing dates (3/26, 4/9, 4/23, and 5/8/2012), at two depths (17.5 and 40.4 mm). Seeding depth influenced stem diameter and plant population, but had no significant effect on yield. Sowing date influences crambe agronomic performance and seed quality, regardless of sowing depth, and the best observed results are from the early April sowing.
