Abstract
Hemp is a non-psychoactive variety of cannabis sativa L. The crop is one of historical importance in the U.S. and reemerging in worldwide importance as manufacturers seek hemp as a renewable and sustainable resource for a wide variety of consumer and industrial products. The crop produces a valuable oilseed and oilseed meal. The fiber has high tensile strength and can be used to create paper, cloth, rope, building materials, and even a form of plastic. Today, industrial hemp is re-emerging as a locally grown product in the U.S. To help farmers succeed, agronomic research on hemp is needed, as much of the historical production knowledge for the region has been lost. Specifically, there is a lack of nitrogen (N) response information for New England, which is important for establishing nutrient recommendations in the region. In this trial, the impact of five nitrogen rates on industrial hemp yield and quality was evaluated.
