Meadowfoam
|
Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Benth.) is a low growing herbaceous winter annual adapted to poorly drained soils. It is native to northern California, southern Oregon, and Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Meadowfoam oil is currently used in the cosmetics industry and could be used in other industrial applications such as in lubricants, inks, detergents, and plastics. The meal produced from oil extraction can be fed in quantities of up to 25% of the total dietary intake for beef cattle. Meadowfoam meal and extracts are currently being tested as a biopesticide for potatoes.
