The needs of mankind for food oils are increasing. Cameline (Rom. lubiţa) (Camelina sativa Crantz) of the Cruciferous family has been cultivated for its seeds (30-35% oil) for more than 2,000 years. Researches on fertilising have been carried on in Timisoara area- on a cambic, phreatic moist (low glazed) decarbonated chernozem formed on loess-like deposits. Nitrogen and Phosphorus fertilising has had a good influence on spring cameline harvest. Spring cameline represents a future oil culture for the area under study.
