Winter Camelina – Crops and Soils
As a cover crop, winter camelina protects the soil from erosion and absorbs soil nutrients, significantly reducing nitrogen and phosphorus contamination of groundwater. Plants can be terminated in the spring before a cash crop or left to flower and produce seed as an oilseed crop.

Camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] is an annual or winter annual in the Brassicacea, or mustard family that originated in Northern Europe. Camelina has been developed as a crop due to its high oil content (30-40%), its unique oil properties and its potential to increase the cropping intensity in certain dryland cropping systems.
Camelina sativa - Wikipedia
Camelina sativa is a flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae usually known as camelina, gold-of-pleasure, or false flax, but also occasionally as wild flax, linseed dodder, German sesame, or Siberian oilseed. It is native to Europe and areas of Central Asia, but cultivated as an oilseed crop mainly in Europe and in North America.
Camelina is a short-season crop (85 to 100 days) that is well adapted to production in the temperate climate zone. It is generally grown as an early summer annual oilseed crop but can be grown as a winter annual in milder climates (Hunter 2010). It is likely best adapted to cooler climates where excessive heat during flowering is not important.
Flowers of camelina provide nectar and pollen to pollinators in the spring. Provides an additional cover crop to cereal grains that can overwinter in a mix. Camelina produces a natural herbicide called glucosinolate, which reduces weed germination. Overwintering success is enhanced when mixed with a small grain cover crop.
Unlocking the potential: Exploring camelina as a cover crop
2023年6月30日 · Camelina is an ancient oil seed in the Brassica family that originated in Europe. It is currently grown as a cash crop in the western part of the United States and Canada for oil, but is being studied as a cover crop in Illinois. Camelina is drought, cold, and pest tolerant, which makes it a resilient cover crop option. Why camelina?
Camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] is an oilseed plant currently being researched as a potential new crop for South Dakota. It is a member of the Brassicaceae (or mustard) family, which includes mustard, canola, rapeseed, Crambe, broccoli, and several other vegetable crops. Cam-elina is commonly known as gold-of-pleasure or false flax.
