Hemp is grown for a variety of purposes such as fiber production and paper industry\, cosmetics\, medicinal properties and in the creation of construction material. C. sativa\, with hundreds of phytocannabinoids\, terpenoids\, flavonoids and fatty acids\, is recognized as a plant with a rich chemical profile. \nFor more than 50 years\, hemp production was restricted in the United States until the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 directed the USDA to develop a regulatory framework for hemp production. Just in 2020\, over 520 licenses were issued in the state of Pennsylvania to establish over 3\,100 acres of hemp fields and greenhouses.  \n\n \n \n FacebookThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Zip/Postal Code*\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.

They need backup and farmers often turn to augmentative biological control\, or biocontrol. Releasing mass-reared insects like ladybeetles\, minute pirate bug\, lacewings\, etc. is a great way to quickly tackle pest pressure but there are best management practices farmers should follow in order to increase their efficacy. This presentation will walk through how to choose a biocontrol and best practices for releasing them.

Thus\, little to no research on industrial hemp has been conducted over the past eighty years in the U.S. At Rodale Institute\, we have been investigating hemp as a nitrogen moderator in the hemp-malt barley (Hordeum vulgare) cropping system. \nIn this webinar\, our research scientist\, Dr. Madhav Dhakal will discuss nitrogen management in rotational organic no-tillage and conventional tillage systems with a focus on cover crop utilization. Current research demonstrates the influence of winter cover crops [hairy vetch (Vicia villosa) + field pea (Pisum sativum)] on nitrogen use efficiency\, yield\, and quality of hemp fiber and malt barley under two tillage [conventional tillage (CT) vs. no-tillage (NT)] practices and four supplemental nitrogen rates (0\, 50\, 100\, and 150 kg N ha˗1) in hemp and barley cropping system. \nLearn more about Rodale Institute’s weed management program here. \n\n \n \n CommentsThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Zip/Postal Code*\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.
