How to choose an industrial hemp variety for your crop?

The choice of variety depends above all on what you want to get from your plantation.

Growing for seed – in our opinion the dioecious Finola works best. It is the shortest variety on the market, yields well and has very soft fibre, so it is easy to harvest with any combine – even an old Bizon. Seed crops also include monoecious varieties, e.g. Futura 75, Felina 32 or Fedora 17, which ripen evenly.
Growing for straw and fibre – consider dioecious varieties, e.g. Carmagnola, Tisza or Kompolti. They are often taller and produce a lot of biomass.
Cannabinoid-rich flowering tops – choose varieties with a specific profile: for CBG Santhica 27, Santhica 70, Enectarol and Seraly25 (see CBG seeds), for CBD e.g. feminised varieties.

Whatever you choose, you may only grow certified varieties from the EU catalogue, and before sowing you need to be entered in the KOWR register – see our guide: KOWR registration step by step.
