| Popis: | Cultivation of gold of pleasure (Camelina sativa [L.] Crantz) started in the Netherlands in the Pre-Roman Iron Age, from 800 BC onwards. Its progenitor is Camelina microcarpa DC, a wild plant native to the steppes of Central Asia and adjacent Eastern Europe. Gold of pleasure is a so-called secondary crop, i.e. a plant that started as a weed and subsequently evolved into an oil crop on its own. Why the crop plant quite suddenly gained importance in the Iron Age is unclear. Unfamiliarity with the plant, climate change and/or a new technical use for its oil, all may have played a role. After the Iron Age cultivation of gold of pleasure decreased, until it recently came into use as biofuel. |
