New total biomass use hemp varieties for different regions in Europe (KB-33-002-002)

Aim and approach : In this project we propose to investigate how photoperiod sensitivity and flowering time influences biomass quality and identify hemp varieties with excellent fibre quality and yield in different locations in Europe. For that we are going to use the information we have collected during the EU-MULTIHEMP project where 124 hemp accessions have been cultivated in three locations in Europe: The Netherlands, Italy and France.
