| A major deliverable in the final year of
the IENICA project, the Agronomy Guide
examines
the generic agronomic considerations,
requirements
and issues for eight crops with non-food
applications: Brassica carinata (Ethiopian Mustard) Cannabis sativa (Hemp) Calendula officinalis (Pot Marigold) Camelina sativa (Gold of Pleasure) Crambe abyssinica (Crambe) Linum usitatissimum (Linseed) Linum usitatissimum (Fibre Flax) Urtica dioica (Stinging Nettle) It does not give detailed agronomic specifications, due to the wide geographical area covered by IENICA. The Guide also begins with some generic markets and issues in the non-food sector with a view to putting their potential impact in perspective: Set-Aside Essential Oils Environment Starch Click here to download the Agronomy Guide For further information on these crops, see the IENICA Plant Database If you have any comments, additions or amendments to this Guide, please send them to: ienica1@csl.gov.uk |
