Summary: Evapotranspiration over Camelina was evaluated for an experimental plot in Maricopa, Arizona between December 2006 and April 2007. Camelina was grown in a 1.3-ha field in a randomized design. A surface energy balance model, utilizing meteorological and radiometric observations within plots was implemented to estimate latent heat fluxes from the camelina canopy at 15-min intervals during most of the ...

Summary: Little is known about camelina production in Florida but research is underway to determine optimum planting dates and nitrogen rates and other management practices. Some breeding work for yield or oil content is being done because camelina offers potential as a short-season biofuel crop that could fit into many different cropping systems in Florida. No data is available on ...

Summary: Investigation of the adaption, performance, and yield stability among Camelina genotypes across varied US Pacific Northwest environments. Seven named Camelina genotypes and 11 experimental numbered genotypes were evaluated for seed and oil yield at 18 site/years. Seed yields varied from a trial mean of 127 kg/ha at Lind WA during a year of extreme drought to 3302 kg/ha at ...

Summary: There is renewed interest in Camelina due to the unique fatty acid profile of the seed oil and its potential value in industry, cosmetics and human nutrition. Agronomic trials were conducted in 2002 and 2005 with 19 Camelina and three oilseed Brassica accessions at sites in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Camelina matured relatively early and was more tolerant of drought ...

Summary: Study (2008-2010) evaluates plant stand establishment, growth, and yield of 10 camelina cultivars at different seeding times for spring seeding in the northern USA Corn Belt. Plant population density, time to 50% flowering, seed yield, and oil content were affected by sowing date. Results indicate that the best time to sow spring camelina in west central Minnesota is from ...

Summary:  A 2-year field study was conducted in western Minnesota to determine optimum fall sowing time for yield and oil content of two winter camelina cultivars in a no-tillage and chisel-plowed system. Seeding dates ranged from early September to mid-October. Results indicate that camelina is a viable winter crop for the northern Corn Belt and that seed yields and oil ...
