Crambe abyssinica is an annual herb. After introduction and cultivation in China, the oil content of its whole seed reaches 34.48%, of which 62.50% is erucic acid. Some available characters, such as short growing season, potentially of high yield and good resistance to diseases were found. In the Chengdu area, the experiment of sowing date and density indicated that the sowing date of C. abyssinica could be preliminarily determined: from the beginning of October to mid-October and 150,000 plants/ha was more suitable. After single-plant selection, two new strains named N01 and B07, respectively, were obtained. Multi-locational evaluation showed that N01 and B07 were superior to the original both in yield and stress resistance. Therefore, C. abyssinica shows itself a promising oil crop, which can be used in industry in China but further studies are needed.
