Industrial hemp is cultivated specifically for the production of cannabinoids, with harvest timing being a critical factor in determining the yield and quality of these compounds as described in [1] and [2].
claimWhen growing industrial hemp for high grain or cannabinoid yields, the crop should be harvested at full maturity or when 70% of the grains are ripe.
claimTo obtain high-quality bast fiber from industrial hemp, the plant should be harvested before grain and cannabinoids begin to develop.
