What varieties of industrial hemp will be used in Argentina?

Authors

Keywords:

Cannabis sativa, varieties, adaptation, genotype-environment interaction

Abstract

Given the fact that industrial hemp production in Argentina is expected to start shortly, the necessary steps both to determine the foreign varieties that best adapt to different Argentine production systems and to obtain local materials through genetic improvement are described. Some processes, practices, problems and alternatives that should be considered for the diffusion of the crop in the country are also presented.
