Seed Production of Industrial Hemp Genotypes - Comparative Study

The study comparatively analyzed the seed production of several genotypes of industrial hemp. The study and field experiments were carried out within ARDS Lovrin, in the period 2022 - 2024. Nine genotypes of industrial hemp (IHG) were cultivated: 'Silvana' - IHG1; '111 CS/08' – IHG2; 'Lv110+693/08' – IHG3; '375CS/19s 18s' – IHG4; '411 CS/01' – IHG5; 'Lv440/01' – IHG5; 'Lv 300' – IHG7; 'Silistra x Lv408/02 +9 CS/13' – IHG8; Lv 406/02' – IHG9. The experiment was organized in four repetitions for each genotype. During the study period, seed production varied between Y = 18.67 kg/ha (IHG1), and Y = 478.67 kg/ha (IHG7). The ANOVA test (Alpha = 0.05) confirmed the presence of variance in the data set and the statistical reliability of the experimental data. The data series recorded during the study period showed a decreasing trend, and the linear regression analysis described the distribution of the data series in terms of statistical safety (p
