Microbiome of Field Grown Hemp Reveals Potential Microbial Interactions With Root and Rhizosphere Soil

Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a crop bred and grown for the production of fiber, grain, and floral extracts that contribute to health and wellness. Hemp plants interact with a myriad of microbiota inhabiting the phyllosphere, endosphere, rhizoplane, and rhizosphere. These microbes offer many ecologic...
