Non Technical Summary
This project is part of the Multistate Research Project NC1204: Advancement of Brassica carinata. Jeliazkov will be participating in Objectives 1, 2, and 4 of the overall Multistate Res. project. Field trials will be set up and conducted at 3-5 locations across Oregon to: (1) Identify optimal carinata varieties for specific geographies and climates; (2) Determine appropriate agronomic practices such as planting dates, planting densities, fertilization levels; and (3) Ascertain rotational effects with other crops. The results from this study will complement the results from other participants conducted at other states. The results will ultimately benefit the growers and other stakeholders such as Department of Agriculture and Department of Energy, and their biofuel programs and initiatives. Jeliazkov has just completed a 3-year rotation study of 9 oilseed crops (including camelina, mustard, and canola) in rotation with winter wheat in Pendleton and Moro, OR. Therefore, the proposed project will be a continuation of the research with oilseeds he has been doing so far. In addition, Jeliazkov is currently developing online slash course through OSU Ecampus 'Oilseeds and Essential Oil Crops'. Therefore, the results from this study will be also utilized in teaching undergraduate and graduate students at OSU and beyond.

Project Methods
The methods for the proposed study are outlined in the general project proposal."Agronomy practices: Baseline production methods are being adapted for use in various ecoregions. The key milestone will be developing a comprehensive suite of agronomic practices for use by producers. The key indicator will be adoption of these agronomic practices by producers. "
