Errant pollination can reduce pistillate flower yields, cannabinoid concentrations, and lead to unmarketable flowers due to the presence of undesirable seeds. We compared pollen sensitivity and agronomic performance of diploid ( 2n = 2 x = 20 chromosomes) and triploid ( 2n = 3 x = 30 chromosomes) cannabinoid hemp in open‐field conditions. The high‐CBD variety Lifter and high‐CBG variety White CBG were evaluated in both their diploid and triploid counterparts in fields with and without pollen. Trials were conducted during the 2021 and 2022 field seasons in Kentucky, New York, and North Carolina ( n = 6 site years). Triploids produced taller and wider plants than diploids; however, this did not result in yield differences in the pollen‐free environment. In the presence of pollen, triploid Lifter and White CBG produced 87% and 77% fewer seeds than their diploid counterparts, respectively. Increased seed production in diploids also resulted in a significant reduction of seed‐free biomass and cannabinoid concentrations compared to triploids. In the absence of pollen, we did not find any appreciable differences in seed‐free biomass or cannabinoid concentrations between triploids and diploids. Though not completely pollen‐insensitive, triploidy is an effective means to reduce seed production and improve yields and quality in cannabinoid hemp in the presence of pollen.}, journal={AGRONOMY JOURNAL}, author={Suchoff, David H. and Inoa, Shannon Henriquez and Stack, George M. and Wares, Alexander J. and Snyder, Stephen I. and Murdock, Maylin J. and Rose, Jocelyn K.

The objective of this study was to understand the effects of plant spacing and transplant date on floral hemp growth and biomass production. Field trials were conducted in North Carolina in 2020 and 2021 with the floral hemp cultivar BaOx. Transplant date treatments occurred every two weeks from 11 May to 7 July (±1 d). Plant spacing treatments were 0.91, 1.22, 1.52, and 1.83 m between plants. Weekly height and width data were collected throughout the vegetative period, and dry biomass was measured at harvest. Plant width was affected by transplant date and spacing. Plant height was affected by transplant date. Earlier transplant dates resulted in taller, wider plants, while larger plant spacing resulted in wider plants. Individual plant biomass increased with earlier transplant dates and larger plant spacing. On a per-hectare basis, biomass increased with earlier transplant dates and smaller transplant spacing. An economic analysis found that returns were highest with 1.22 m spacing and decreased linearly by a rate of −163.098 USD ha−1 d−1. These findings highlight the importance of earlier transplant timing to maximize harvestable biomass.}, number={8}, journal={AGRONOMY-BASEL}, author={Linder, Eric R. and Young, Sierra and Li, Xu and Inoa, Shannon Henriquez and Suchoff, David H.}, year={2022}, month={Aug} }
