Abstract:
Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz is a promising oilseed crop that has increased worldwide attention because of its agronomic characteristics and its potential uses. Within the framework of our two projects “PDR18-CAMEVAR” and “FP22-CAMEPRO”, IMIDRA and Camelina Company Spain aim to confirm that camelina is a good option for oilseed crops in semi-arid climates (especially in central area of Spain). To reach our objective we are working on the characterization of products, by-products and genotype of nine different varieties of camelina (V1, V2, V3, V4, V6, V7, V8, V11 and V13). Therefore, we expect to determine which of them is more productive and could be potentially used as an energy crop, for livestock feed, or for biomass production.
