This research was carried out in Samsun ecological conditions, 2016-2017 summer seasons. This study was conducted to determine the yield and some agricultural characteristics of some Crambe hispanica subsp. abyssinica genotypes in the World Crambe Gene Pool, which are the basis for adaptation. In the study, 71 crambe genotypes were evaluated. Research result: the length of the plant is between 51.9 and 90.7 cm; number of branches per plant is between 4.1 and 9.5; the number of seeds per plant is from 57.4 to 376.6; 1000 grain weight was found to vary between 5.13 and 12.24 g and grain yield per plant varied from 0.421 g to 2.717 g. The result of the research: it has been determined that the genotypes evaluated have a superior performance in terms of the characters evaluated in total 13 genotypes including 2, 7, 8, 16, 30, 34, 41, 44, 49, 51, 61, 65 and 66 genotype. As a result, it has been decided that these genotypes can be used as a genitor in the development of crambe varieties suited to the Samsun ecological conditions.
