THE ORGANIZATION OF PRIMARY SEED PRODUCTION MONOECIOUS HEMP CROP IN CONDITIONS MIDDLE VOLGA
The article discusses the theoretical foundations of seed production of monoecious hemp seeds. The importance of using conditioned seeds in the preservation of the variety was emphasized. The concepts of "primary" seed production are considered. The long-term experimental data on the evaluation of plants from reproduction nurseries of 1 year based on the content of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) are presented. Considered techniques that ensure the formation of high sowing qualities of seed material. It is shown that the production of high-quality seed material and maintaining varietal characteristics at a high level is possible only with a well-established system of seed production.
