In recent years, Camelina sativa has emerged as a crop that can be considered an alternative to traditional oilseed plants. The primary objective of our research was to evaluate the downy mildew (Peronospora camelinae) attack. Observations were conducted during 2023 and 2024 under the conditions of the Dracea location in Teleorman County. The biological material consisted of two Romanian genotypes, Mădălina and Camelia, monitored in spring cultivation. In the conditions of 2023, the disease frequency in the Mădălina variety was 25%, while the Camelia variety showed a frequency of 34%. In the conditions of 2024, the frequency of the attack was 20% for the Mădălina variety and 22% for the Camelia variety. Throughout the research period, the Mădălina variety exhibited a lower disease frequency compared to the Camelia variety.
