Performance of Different-Use Type Industrial Hemp Cultivars under Mid-Atlantic Region Conditions

Due to recent classification as a commodity crop in North America, producer interest in industrial hemp (<i>Cannabis sativa</i> L.) has increased. In the Commonwealth of Virginia, there is a need to evaluate foreign-developed industrial hemp for its adaptability and to develop new cultiv...
