Agronomy and Farm Notes
Whilst industrial hemp has been grown around the world for thousands of years, it has mostly been as an opportunity crop using local ecotypes rather than stabilised varieties.
In Western Australia, the crop is young and the environment is semi hostile, often with shallow acid soils or deep sands. There is also a high evaporation rate over the summer period.
The latest advice in growing industrial hemp in Western Australia - including where to grow, water needs, pests and diseases, sowing, harvesting and storing - is attached as a series of farm notes.
These farm notes will be regularly updated as our knowledge in production of industrial hemp grows. Please ensure you check regularly for these updates.
