“…The highest average yields were obtained in Los Angeles and Osorno, with 1600 kg·ha −1 and 1552 kg·ha −1 , respectively, though Osorno gave the highest absolute yield of 2314 kg·ha −1 when sown in May. Oil production was between 39.8% and 45.8% [5], close to the maximum oil production value of 48%, obtained via elite ecotype selection [12].…”

“…The present work considered the entire productive period for degree day calculation, which in Chile was 221 days for spring cultivars [5]. Gesch [14] determined productive cycles that oscillate between 75 and 100 days between sowing and harvest for spring cultivars sown in Morris, Minnesota, in the north central United States.…”

“…The information obtained from these 27 locations was used to determine the critical factors for camelina adaptation. The factors considered for camelina adaptation were: maximum temperature of the warmest month (TMX), January and July in the Southern and Northern Hemispheres, respectively; degree days during the productive cycle (DD), considered to be 221 days in the trials run in Chile [5]; and water deficit (WD, Table 2). …”

“…Examples of camelina presence and production were found in 15 locations, four of which correspond to the same soil type (Typic Haploxerands), and the registered production of each location was averaged [5,[15][16][17]. The Typic Dystrandepts and Humic Haploxerand [5,16] soil types were considered as Humic Andosol for our purposes, and Xeric Haplocambids [15,17] was considered as Cambisol, grouping all similar soil types in Chile.…”

Camelina (Camelina sativa L.) is an oilseed with potential for use as a raw material in second-generation biofuels. Camelina has a seed yield of up to 2380 kg·ha −1 and contains around 45% fatty acids. Selection of a suitable site is critical for production optimization. The objective of this study was to determine Chilean agro-climatic suitability for establishing camelina as a productive alternative. Climate and soil requirements and geographical restraints were evaluated for the species, considering the climatological characteristics of its regions of origin, as well as regions where camelina is successfully grown in the rest of the world. The variables considered included factors (maximum temperatures of the warmest month, water deficits, and degree days) and limitations (altitude, geomorphology, and current land use), which permitted the evaluation of the national territory for a certain level of suitability. It was determined that 1.3% of the national territory (960,664 ha) has some degree of suitability for camelina adoption. Between the Biobío and Los Lagos regions, 49.0% of the land (471,203 ha) is in the category of no thermic restrictions, with mild water restrictions, and mild soil restrictions or without information, which can be used for camelina production. The Los Ríos region has 21.4% surface area (321,176 ha) with some level of suitability for camelina, the most suitable region to establish this crop in Chile. This research has provided valuable information applicable to new species and geographic areas which facilitate the adaptation of agricultural and forestry production to global changes.

“…Although, this cool-season crop has been grown in Eastern Europe and Russia for many years until the early 1940s, only recently it has received increased attention [70]. Camelina production cost is much lower than canola and mustard production cost [71] mainly because of the low requirements in fertilizers and pesticides. The low production cost in combination with the short period from seed to harvest (85 to 100 days) make it an ideal crop for biodiesel production.…”

In recent years, high volatility in oil prices and global climate change led to an increased interest in biofuel production to reduce dependency on foreign fossil fuel. Domestically produced plant feedstocks are environmentally friendly renewable substitutes for fossil-derived fuel and are expected to stabilize fuel prices. Plant-derived energy can offer rural development and other environmental, social and energy security benefits for local societies. Crops, grasses, trees, forest-residues and aquatic plants, all can be used as potential biofuel feedstocks. To meet the increased global and regional demand for bioenergy, evaluation and improvement of current and emergent plant feedstocks is urgently needed to reduce the cost of the resulting biofuels.
