Camelina was tested in three years of field trials in Italy, Spain, France, and the UK in different cropping systems to test its integration into farmers’ current rotations. Based on the results of these trials, protocols were developed with recommendations for optimized and locally adapted cultivation practices.
A protocol for introducing camelina into farmer´s rotations as an autumn intermediate crop preceding summer main crop in northern Italy can be found in: “Camelina sativa protocol for introduction as an autumn crop for double cropping in Italy”
A protocol for the cultivation of a long cycle variety as an oilseed alternative in marginal lands with a high desertification risk is provided/described in “Camelina sativa protocol for introduction as a cover crop for marginal lands in Spain”
A protocol for the cultivation of a short cycle camelina variety as a summer intermediate crop is given in “Camelina sativa protocol for introduction as a summer catch crop in France”
A protocol for the introduction of early maturing camelina varieties as an intermediate oilseed crop in spring is provided in “Camelina sativa protocol for introduction as a spring crop in United Kingdom”
Disclaimer: The protocols are part of deliverables that have not yet been formally approved by the EU funding Agency.
