INDUSTRIAL HEMP North Dakota NCIS initiated research in North Dakota in 2020 to study the effects of plant damage on seed and fiber production in industrial hemp. Industrial hemp has many different uses including fiber, seed for vegetable oil production, and production of cannabinoid (CBD) materials. Hemp research has recently been allowed again because of changes that occurred in the 2018 Farm Bill and the drug's reclassification by the Drug Enforcement Agency. This research is being conducted at Langdon and Prosper to study the impact of plant damage treatments to a 'dioecious' and a 'monecious' variety at three different growth stages. 'Dioecious " means that there are separate male and female plants. 'Monecious' means that a plant has both male and female flowers on the same plant. The growth stages are V3 (three pairs of leaves), V7 (7 pairs of leaves), and V9 (9 pairs of leaves). Plant damage was simulated by clipping the top 1-2 nodes on the plant Hemp plants are damaged (by bending the plant approximately in half) at the V-3 and V-9 stages of growth. 20 THIRDQUARTER2022
