Cannabis sativa seed

LATIN NAME: CANNABIS SATIVA

COMMON NAME: Hemp

The hemp sails the tall, upright annual with the slender, palmate leaves of the narrow, toothed leaflets and the dense, branching stem that sails upward through the warm season, the small, greenish flowers forming in the clusters along the upper stems, the small, round, grey-brown seeds following, the whole plant holding the fresh, leafy scent. It grows quickly and strongly, and it stands the cool nights and the rich, well-drained soil well. It likes the sun, and the deep, fertile ground.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The tall, fibre-rich stem of the hemp gives it a recognised place in the research on the industrial fibre crops of the mulberry family, and the sativa species appears in the studies of the fast-growing annual plants and the bast fibre build. The work looks at the way the long, strong fibres sail the stem, the seed oils, and the seed biology. The agronomists value the fibre and the nutritious seed, and the growers of the fibre, seed and cover crops keep the species in their catalogues.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

In the field, the hemp sails the summer field with the tall, leafy stems. The long fibres serve the rope, the canvas and the paper, the small seeds press into the nutritious oil, and the plant makes the fine cover and the rotation crop. It thrives in the deep, fertile, sunny ground. Tall-stemmed, fibre-rich and soil-cleaning.

To grow the Hemp from seed, press the small seeds into a fine, raked seedbed in late spring.

Press the small seeds into a fine, raked seedbed in late spring, and give the young plants the open, sunny spot. The sail stems come within a few weeks. , watering them in gently, keep the seedbed lightly watered, and the young plants come through quickly. The sail stems will rise within a few weeks.
