Influence of genotype and sowing date on camelina growth and yield in the north central U.S. – R. W. Gesch – Industrial Crops and Products January 2014

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 ...

Sowing Date and Tillage Effects on Fall-Seeded Camelina in the Northern Corn Belt – R. W. Gesch and S. C. Cermak – Agronomy Journal 2011

Summary: Β 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 ...

Double-cropping with winter camelina in the northern Corn Belt to produce fuel and food – R.W. Gesch and D.W. Archer – Industrial Crops and Products May 2012

Summary: Fall-seeded winter camelina can be successfully grown in the upper Midwest USA and may be harvested early enough to allow a second crop. Double-cropping may offer a profitable means of producing a dedicated biofuel crop without jeopardizing food security. The aim of this study (2007 and 2009) in west central Minnesota was to evaluate the agronomic and economic viability ...

Brassicaceae germplasm diversity for agronomic and seed quality traits under drought stress – J.-N. Enjalbert, S. Zheng, J. J. Johnson, J. L. Mullen, P. F. Byrnea, and J. K. McKay – Industrial Crops and Products Feb 2013

Summary: This study involved comparing camelina and other crops under dryland and in fully irrigated conditions in eastern Colorado to evaluate responses to drought stress. Camelina showed better adaptation to semi-arid environments. Camelina also had the highest levels of linolenic acid. Future breeding efforts might utilize existing germplasm diversity for traits such as flowering time, yield components, oil quality, and ...

Camelina overview – D.T. Ehrensing and S.O. Guy – Oregon State University 2008

Summary: There’s growing interest in vegetable oils with high omega-3 fatty acids but the full potential of camelina has yet to be explored. Since canola production is currently prohibited in many parts of Oregon state, Oregon growers are considering camelina as an oilseed alternative. Notes on field trials.

Evaluation of Camelina sativa as an alternative oilseed crop – J.G.Crowley, Crops Research Centre, Teagasc, Irish Agriculture and Food Development Authority – 1999 Oak Park, Carlow

Summary: A series of field trials were conducted (1996-1998), across four countries. The objective was to establish the potential of winter hardy varieties of camelina, grown without the use of herbicides, fungicides or pesticides. The study showed winter camelina cannot produce an economic yield in Ireland where the use of herbicides and fungicides are excluded. The relatively mild wet winters ...
