Camelina sative is commonly called false flax, which is a low-input crop currently researched as an alternate oilseed crop. Different abiotic stress disturbed the physiological and biochemical processes in seeds. Germination or emergence are considered critical phases in the ontogeny of plants. A number of experiments were planned under control conditions to know the response of C. sativa seeds’ germination, emergence, and establishment of seedlings to different environmental factors. Results revealed that C. sativa showed maximum germination and seedling growth at 25/15ºC day/night temperature; however, decreasing trends were shown at 35/25ºC. Camelina sativa germination was influenced by pH ranging from 5 to 10 and sensitive to acidic and saline mediums. Reduction in seed germination was noted when NaCl at 250 mM concentration was applied, while 300 mM NaCl concentration completely inhibited the germination. The effect of osmotic potential from 0 to -0.2 MPa was nonsignificant; however, germination was completely inhibited at -1.0 MPa. The seeds placed on the soil surface showed 56% germination, whereas emergence from a seeding depth of 1-2 cm was maximum (77%). A seeding depth of 7 cm completely inhibited the emergence. Germination attributes like time to start germination, mean germination time, germination index, and seedling establishment of C. sativa are significantly influenced by environmental factors. Seed ecological information of this species will be helpful to determine its potential distribution in new localities, especially in problem soils. Furthermore, understanding the seed ecological preferences of C. sativa enables farmers to identify suitable locations for cultivation. Overall, integrating the germination attributes and seed ecological information into cultivation strategies helps the farmers mitigate risks and achieve more efficient and sustainable C. sativa production.
