Objective(s):

Assessing different hemp varieties for grain / fiber yield potential in the Interlake.

Project Findings:

The test hemp varieties differed in grain / fiber yield at Arborg site. Grain yield ranged from 706 – 1202 lbs/acre for different varieties tested. For making hemp variety decisions, Interlake producers could use these testing results. These results can also be found in Seed Manitoba.

 

Background:

The Canadian Hemp Trade Alliance (CHTA) is a not-for-profit organization, which represents over 260 growers across all 10 provinces as well as numerous processors, distributors, developers and researchers involved in Canada’s rapidly growing industrial hemp industry.

This current project was funded by CHTA and it looked at separate grain and fibre varieties of hemp how they perform in Interlake region.
