Camelina seed is used to produce bio-diesel, cooking oil and jet fuel. Planting rates vary from 6 to 12 lbs. per acre depending on soil type and geographical planting area.
Product Details

- High in omega-3 fatty acid
- Wide range of adaptability
- Great for livestock
- Renewable source of feedstock for biodiesel and advanced biofuels
Product Information
Camelina seed contains approximately 30% oil. 20 to 30 lbs of Camelina seed will produce approximately one gallon of Camelina oil. Camelina has been much in the news, because of its position as one of the few “sustainable, affordable, reliable, available” feedstocks suitable for aviation biofuels.
Camelina (Camelina sativa (L)) is an old-world crop used primarily for oil. It can be grown under semi-arid conditions. It is a member of the Brassicaceae or mustard family and related to canola and cole crops. The seed is about 35% oil, and the oil is high in omega-3 fatty acid, which has been cited as having health benefits. Camelina meal can be fed to livestock, producing eggs and meat that are higher in omega-3 fatty acids.
Camelina has a wide range of adaptability, fitting into many different cropping systems due to its short period of growth (70–90 days). Camelina seedlings can survive intense cold, and can be planted before or after main cash crops in southern latitudes in the spring or fall. In dry climates, camelina can be grown in fields lying fallow between other crops, allowing the fields to produce income and serving as a renewable energy and rotation crop.
Camelina can be established in narrow rows at low seeding rates. Shallow planting is best for small seed, and little is known about seedling diseases on camelina. At present no broadleaf weed herbicides are labeled for use on camelina. Therefore, it is essential to plant into a weed-free seedbed. The growth period of wild radish (Raphanus raphinustrum L.) may coincide with camelina production in Florida. Fields with a history of wild radish infestations should be avoided. Likewise, it is suggested that camelina not be planted more than once every three years in the same field to prevent the spread of sclerotinia stem rot and other diseases common to the mustard family.
Plant this seed in the fall for best results. This seed can be planted at a rate of 6 - 12 lbs per acre and at a depth of 1/8 - 1/4 inch. Camelina prefers a pH of 5.5 - 7.0.
