Description of the ten proposals designed by farmers to introduce camelina in their cropping systems. MAE means Agro-Environmental Measures and refers to an objective of reduction of agrochemical products (%).

Description of the proposal Soil type Farmer’s stated objectives Additional information
1 Pure camelina as double crop after canned pea Deep loamy-clay Replace the mandatory catch crop after canned pea
2*,1 Pure camelina as double crop after canned pea Deep loamy-clay Replace the mandatory catch crop after canned pea MAE 50% except herbicides; 40% herbicides
Direct sowing
3* Pure camelina as double crop after winter barley Deep loamy-clay (∼ 20% of clay) Replace the catch crop sown before the spring crops (maize or sugarbeet) MAE 50% except herbicides
4 Pure camelina as double crop after winter barley Deep loamy-clay (or sandy) Replace rapeseed in the crop sequence with a low-input crop
5 Pure camelina as double crop after winter barley Shallow limestone or loamy-sandy Break out the succession of two straw cereals (winter wheat and winter barley) MAE 50% except herbicides; 40% herbicides– Direct sowing
6 Pure camelina as relay crop after winter barley Shallow limestone or loamy-sandy Diversify the usual crop sequence “Rapeseed – Winter Wheat– Winter Barley”
7* Pure camelina as spring crop after an immature rye valorised through a methanation unit Deep loamy Introduce a crop with a shorter cycle than maize to make a second energy catch crop (sorghum) after the camelina (instead of sowing catch crop)
8 Pure camelina as spring crop between two buckwheat cycles Shallow limestone or loamy-sandy Diversify the crop sequence and eventually replace rapeseed MAE 50% except herbicides; 40% herbicides
Direct sowing
9* Pure camelina as spring crop after winter wheat Sandy Extend the crop sequence, introduce a low-input crop in the crop sequence and eventually replace rapeseed MAE 50% except herbicides
Direct sowing
10 Spring camelina intercrop with spring pea or spring barley Shallow limestone or loamy-sandy Introduce a spring crop in the winter crop sequence (rapeseed–wheat–barley). Increase soil cover with the intercropping No till system

The proposal numbers followed by a star correspond to proposals made by “new” farmers, i.e. those who have not participated in any of the local devices (workshops, on-farm trials, etc.)
