The study showed that the crop performed equally well with and without gypsum and nutritional samples of the hemp flowers did not indicate any problems by discontinuing applications.
Drought has become a fact of life for farmers throughout the West. For hemp growers, careful planning for where, when and what to plant can result in a crop that will thrive despite dry conditions.
Hemp plants are susceptible to disease, especially at the early stages of development. Hemp growers can promote healthy plants by using high-quality seed and avoiding soil that is wet, dense or poorly drained.
