National Hemp Cultivar Trials

Author: Robert Pearce

Planning Unit: Plant and Soil Sciences

Major Program: Hemp

Outcome: Initial Outcome

I coordinate the National hemp dual purpose cultivar trial on behalf of the S-1084 Hemp multi-state group.  In 2021, 17 universities participated.  My group receives seed from hemp industry collaborators, distributes it to participating locations, and coordinates the collection of data. Currently, we are working with collaborators at the University of Florida to analyze the data collected for the past three growing seasons.  Over time this project will result in a database of cultivar performance across and wide range of locations to aid growers in the selection of suitable genetics for their location.
